Kindly refer to this office letter of even number dated 10.11.2017, on the subject mentioned above, vide which following guidelines/clarifications were issued, w.r.t. identification of NFG posts in HSG I.
Only 10 percent of HSG I posts i.e. 235 posts have been approved for NFG scale. Therefore it is not possible to promote all HSG I officials who are completing 2 years of service in HSG I Although there is need to identify these posts for promotion from HSG I, in order to avoid inconvenience to staff in the initial stage aad pulely as a temporary measure, the officials can be given NFG on the basis of seniority wherever they are posted in HSG I by upgrading the HSG I post to NFG and simultaneously downgrading the NFG position to HSG-I elsewhere. In due course of time the posts need to be identified.
2. Further, w.r.t. some queries of Tamilnadu Circle, following clarification was also issued to all HoCs vide this office letter of even number dated 16.03.2018 [refer Para3 (2) (i) & (ii)]:
