Timely submission of proposals for extension of period of deputation of officers in SEZs - Instruction
DEPARTMENT of Commerce has observed that proposals for grant of extension of deputation period of officers in Special Economic Zones are sent to the Department for approval in a routine manner without indicating adequate justification and also whether the extension of deputation period is in public interest. Further, the proposals are also sent very late allowing the department very little time for processing the proposal. In some cases, extension of deputation has been sought even after the expiry of approved tenure of deputation. The approvals in many cases are to be granted by Commerce Secretary or CI & M.
In view of this, all Development Commissioners are requested that proposals for grant of extension of deputation period of officials/officers in Special Economic Zones should be sent to this office at least six months prior to the date of expiry of deputation period of officials/officers [what is the difference between officials and officers?], complete in all respects as per the prescribed proforma along with adequate justification for seeking such extension.
