CENTRAL STAFFING SCHEME
LOK SABHA
Appointments/postings
of the officers in the Central Government are made under the Central
Staffing Scheme. The Central Staffing Scheme has been in operation
for over 40 years. It provides a systematic arrangement for the
selection and appointment of officers to senior administrative
posts at Centre, excluding posts which are specifically encadred
within the organized Group ‘A’ services or filled by recruitment
through the Union Public Service Commission. Some posts of deputy
Secretary and Under Secretary under the Central Government are
in the Cadre Strength of the central Secretariat Service (CSS).
These posts are filled in accordance with the rules of the CSS,
and when so filled, stand outside the Central Staffing Scheme.
The Minister
of State for Home and D.O.P.T, Shri Harin Pathak said this in
the Lok Sabha today in reply to a question from Shri Y.V. Rao.
