The Government of India has given a vague reply in the Lok Sabha to a question regarding the number of vacancies in the Ministry of Finance.

Shri Kalipada Saren Kherwal asked the Finance Minister to tell the number of posts lying vacant in the Finance Ministry. He also asked whether contractual employees are being appointed in the Finance Ministry or not? He asked Finance Minister to state:

  1. the number of sanctioned posts, posts in position and the number of vacancies, including reserved posts across categories in the Ministry of Finance;
  2. the number of vacancies in the Ministry and its Departments, including reserved posts, since 2014, year-wise and category-wise; and
  3. the number of contractual employees hired since 2014, year-wise and category-wise?

What’s shocking is that the government provided a vague reply to his questions. The question was simple and direct. The Finance Minister had to reply to the number of posts lying vacant in the ministry, the vacancies as per reservation, and the number of contractual appointments in the ministry.

But the Government gave a vague reply. The Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance stated that:

Occurrence and filling of vacancies is a continuous process. As and when vacancies arise, they are filled up by direct recruitment through agencies such as UPSC, SSC, Banking Recruitment Boards, etc., or through deputation or promotions. The reservation policy of the Government for SC/ST/OBC Categories is followed in the recruitments and promotions in the Ministry of Finance. Keeping in view the administrative exigency of work, efficiency, economy of operations and unavoidable circumstances, the contractual engagements are made after completing all necessary procedural formalities.
