candidates selected by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
39011/02/2002-Estt.(B) dated the 05th November, 2002 (copy enclosed) on the
above subject requesting all Ministries/Departments to make adequate
arrangement to ensure that delays in sending offers of appointment to candidates selected by UPSC are reduced to
the minimum and issue letters to the recommended candidates for medical
examination and also to the concerned authorities for verification of character
and antecedents within ten days from the receipt of recommendation letter from

in issuing of offer of appointments by the concerned Ministry/Department. It has
been observed that the candidates recommended by them should not be made to wait
for years for the receipt of the offers of appointment from the concerned
Ministries. In many cases, candidates selected by the Commission, in the
meantime, secure placement elsewhere and do not become available for appointment
under the Government thus rendering the whole exercise of selection of such
candidates futile and infructuous.
Pubic Grievances, Law and Justice in its 51st Report on Demand for Grants
(2012-13) of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions while considering the
above, has recommended that the concerned Ministries should take serious note of
such delays and that they should devise appropriate measures to ensure that
candidates recommended by UPSC, are issued offers of appointment, without delay.
the Office Memorandum dated 5th November, 2002 as well as this Ofice Memorandum
are followed both in letter and spirit.

Subject: Elimination of delays in issuing offers of appointment to candidates
selected by Union Public Service Commission.
Memorandum No. 23297/68-Estt (B) dated the 26th February, 1969 on the subject
mentioned above and to say that the Estimates Committee in their 93rd Report on
the estimates of the Union Public Service Commission had observed as follows:-
“The Committee note that a majority of the cases of delay (ranging from 5 to
24 months) pointed out by the Union Public Service Commission in Appendix XV
(For 1963-64) pertains to Scientists, Engineers. Technologists and Professional
personnel from whom there is considerable demand both in the public arc private
sectors. The Committee expect that Government will realise that the long period
of waiting and consequent uncertainty is found to act as a damper on the
enthusiasm of candidates, particularly the more promising ones, for entering
public service and to make them psychologically More receptive to offers from
private agencies with prospect of prompt engagement.
The Committee recommend that the entire procedure for recruitment may be
critically reviewed by the Government so as to eliminate delays which are
occurring at various stages such as intimation of vacancies to the Union Public
Service Commission, medical examination of successful candidates, verification
of antecedents and issue of offer of appointment. The Committee would suggest
that cases of delay beyond a specified period, particularly in sending out offer
of appointments to candidates selected by Union Public Service Commission should
be reviewed by the Secretary of the Ministry/Head of the Department concerned.”
inordinate delay continues to occur in sending offers of appointment to
candidates selected by them. The matter has been considered again and it is felt
that there is need for proper and timely review of all such cases by the
Secretary/Head of Department concerned. Attention is also invited to the fact
that vide the aforementioned O.M. dated 26.2.69, a proforma for quarterly review
of such cases by the Secretary of the Ministry/ Department concerned had been
prescribed. All the Ministries/ Departments are advised to ensure submission of
the said quarterly reports to the Secretary/ Head of the Department concerned
for review of all cases of delay in issuing offers of appointment to candidates
selected by UPSC.
it was inter-alia decided that this Department would be reviewing every
six months all such cases of delay for which a proforma had also been devised.
It has now been decided to discontinue the half-yearly review of such cases by
this Department. Hence, in future six monthly reports on the subject may not be
sent to this Department.
candidates for medical examination and also to the concerned authorities for
verification of character antecedents within ten days from the receipt of
recommendation letter from the Union Public Service Commission so that as far as
possible, the offers of appointment could be issued to the candidates
recommended by the Commission within three months from the date of
recommendation letter.
of the Estimates Committee and to make adequate arrangements to ensure that
delays in sending offers of appointment to candidates selected by UPSC are
reduced to the minimum. These instructions may be brought to the notice of all
concerned.
