The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has released a model
calendar for the conduct of DPCs vide its O.M. No. 22011/4/2013—Estt (D)
dated 08th May 2017 (Procedure to be observed by the Departmental
Promotion Committees (DPCs) — Model Calendar for DPCs — Relevant year up
to which APARs are to be considered and Model Calendar for conducting
DPCs — regarding).The same is available on the website of DoPT. This
model calendar is being followed subject to absence of any contingencies
Whether the DPC should not be convened in case the
Recruitment Rules are under process (review/amendment etc.)
The DPC should be convened at regular annual interals to draw panels
which could be utilized for making promotion against the vacancies
occuring during the course of a year. It has been observed that
Ministries/Departments do not convene meetings of the DPCs annually for
various reasons, even though eligible officers of the lower grade were
available and the vacancies in the higher grade were also available for
their promotion. This is often due to nonfinalisation of the seniority
list of officers of the lower grade which forms the field of
consideration. Another reason to justify delay in holding DPC meeting is
that Recruitment Rules for the post arc being reviewed or amended.
Amendment to the Recruitment Rules can normally have only prospective
application and as such the existing Recruitment Rules would continue to
be in force till the new Rules come into force. The Supreme Court has
also ruled that vacancies should be filled according to the Rules in
force when the vacancies arose. The DPCs should therefore be convened in
time and the panel of officers finalised in accordance with the existing
Recruitment Rules. [DOP & T OM No. 28034/6/86-Estt(D) dated
17-11-86.]
