Government decides not to withhold appointment letters pending the verification of character and antecedents of the successful candidates 

The Government has decided that the issue of appointment letters need not be withheld pending the verification of character and antecedents of the successful candidates. The appointing authorities will issue provisional appointment letters after obtaining the attestation form and self declaration from the candidate. 

In the appointment letter, it will be clearly mentioned that in case character and antecedents of the candidate is found not verified or any false information is given by the candidate in his/her self-declaration, the provisional appointment will be cancelled forthwith and other criminal/legal action will also be taken, as a consequence. This decision aims to achieve the Government’s vision of ‘Minimum Government and Maximum Governance’ and deliver citizen-centric good governance.

As per existing provisions, the appointing authorities undertake an exercise of verification of character and antecedents of the successful candidates before issuing the formal appointment order. The Government has decided that now the verification of character and antecedents will be carried out, but the issue of appointment letters need not be withheld pending such verification. 

The necessary instructions in this regard have been issued to all Ministries/Departments and also brought to the notice of the State Governments/Administrators of Union Territories.

GRANT OF TA & TRANSIT (TA & TP) TO OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED ON COMPLETION OF TENURE TO THE PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE . A proposal on grant TA and transit to officials who are transferred on completion of tenure to the place of their choice was under consideration in this Directorate for sometime past.      SR-114 governs TA on transfer distinguishes between transfer for public convenience and transfer on own request.  Although transfer on completion of tenure in one office has not been specifically referred to in this rule, yet the transfer on completion of tenure is a transfer for public convenience.  On completion of tenure, the official has to be transferred out for operational reasons.  Therefore, such a transfer is mandatory, while posting to a place of choice is secondary and subject to public convenience.  In view of this posting to a place of choice after completion of full tenure may not be normally termed as a "transfer on own request" under SR-114.      It
