Compulsory Retirement to Central Government Employees on the Basis of their Efficiency may be a Difficult Task for the Government…
Recently, the Central Government had issued an order
(No.25013/01/2013-Estt.A-IV) regarding strengthening of administration
by executing compulsory retirement to the central government employees
who are found to be inefficient, incapable or unable to fulfill the
targets set by their higher authorities, after completing certain years
of service.
The order brought panic among employees and questions arise how to
identify those employees who are given compulsory retirement. The order
was issued on the basis of CCS (Pension) Rule 56 (j) and Rule 48 which
explains the above points. The government had clarified that if the
order comes into effect, it won’t be treated as a punishment to the
employees.
Article 311 of the Constitution of India says that the government should
ensure security to an employee. As per the Rule, an employee should be
well informed of any actions to be taken against him and be to given
opportunity to explain on his part. But this rule is not applicable to
criminal offences or against the security of the country.
The order which was released by DOPT, with some Supreme Court orders was
a little bit strong than the previous ones. But it will not be an easy
exercise for the government to implement the order as it has to face
strong opposition from the employees, Trade Unions and Federations.
To analyze and determine employees’ efficiency was always a headache for
the government. In the 6th CPC, the commission recommended special
yearly increment to 20% of the central government employees in each
department for outstanding performance on their field. But no such
appreciations had happened so far in any of the departments.
Let us wait and see what will happen next….!
