This query is : Resolved
Can the seniority of an officer,selected in a particular year,be reverted and made par with junior-batch due to delay in confirmation?

Seniority for further promotion and other related benefits is always with reference to the date of confirmation in service of the employee.

You are however free to make representation to the competent authority to get your date of confirmation changed based on the merits of your case.

Normally seniority is reckoned on date of confirmation into service. So, if there was sufficient cause for delay of your confirmation (eg. for absence for a period from service) then your date of confirmation only will be considered for seniority and not the date of joining into service.

No I have to disagree, baed on following clarification :-
No. The relative seniority of direct
recruits that used to be
determined earlier according to
date of confirmation and not
original order of merit (in cases
where confirmation was in an
order different from order of merit
indicated at the time of their
appointment) has been
discontinued with effect from
4.11.1992.

Dear Sudhir,
I don't think Mr. Chandrashekhar has made any mention as his being a direct recruit through UPSC.

The querist is silent on the issue and not coming forward with more details about his case, while we are raising disputes amongst us. An example of "Muddai sust, gawah chust."
