OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:    Calculation of resultant vacancies in the grade of UDCs of CSCS consequent upon promotion of 2151 UDC to Assistant for the List Year 2003 - Reg.

            All the cadre units participating in CSS and CSCS are aware that consequent upon restructuring of CSS in 2003, 2151 posts in the grade of Assistants were made available which were filled up by promotion of regular UDCs from Select List Year 1987 (part) upto 1992 vide this Departments O.M. 7/3/2003-CS-II dated 14/7/2009 on as is where is basis. As a natural corollary to that equal number of vacancies should have been made available in the grade of UDC. However, the same have not been intimated by the cadre units.

Since the regular panels in the grade of UDC for SL year 2003 onwards upto 2006 had already been finalised by this Department (before the extended list of Assistant, promoting 2151 UDCs, was issued), the resultant vacancies in the grade of UDC could not be immediately assessed and made available further down below in the hierarchy. A need has, therefore, arisen to reassess the vacancies in the grade of UDC for the Select List year 2003 onwards.

In view of the above, it is possible that the vacancies arising out of the promotion of large number of UDCs as Assistant have not been reported, as the regular panels in the grade of UDC for SL year 2003 onwards upto 2006 had already been finalised by this Department. All the cadre units are, therefore, requested to intimate the number of regular vacancies reported and filled up in the grade of UDC from SL Y 2003 onwards and also to re-assess the vacancies in the grade of UDC taking into account the promotion of 2151 UDCs to the grade of Assistant for the select list year 2003 onwards as per Proforma annexed. The information in the prescribed proforma may positively be sent to this Department latest by 30/09/2010.
