Refusal to deputation will debar babus from foreign jobs: Govt

The refusal of IAS officers to come on central deputation will debar them from foreign postings, the Centre has said.

The move comes after it was noticed that many state governments and cadre controlling authorities were withdrawing the names of proposed IAS officers when their cases were being processed at the Centre.

‘A laborious exercise precedes the appointment of an officer to a post under the central government. However, very often, the state governments withdraw the names of officers from offer subsequently. This results in considerable delay in the placement of officers, which is not in public interest.

Consequently, the government has been following a policy of debarring an officer for five years, if,
once appointed by the government under the Central Staffing Scheme, he does not join the post either on account of personal disinclination, or the refusal of the cadre to relieve him,’ the DoPT said.
