Office Memorandum 

Subject :  Grant of Honorarium to Inquiry Officers (IO)/Presenting Officers (PO) - Consolidated instructions regarding.

The undersigned is directed to say that the Department of Personnel and Training have issued instructions vide NO 1344/99-AVD-I dated 29th June 2001 and 7th April 2003  on the subject of honorarium to the Inquiry Officers and Presenting Officers covering the aspects of rates of honorarium, appointment of retired officers as Inquiry Officer, terms and conditions for payment of honorarium etc from time to time. The rates of honorarium payable to IO/PO were last revised vide this Department's OM no 142/20/2008-AVD-I dated 27th July 2009. [copy attached]. 

2. A Committee of Experts set up to review the procedure of Disciplinary Nigilance inquiries and to recommend measures for their expeditious disposal under the chairmanship of P.C Hota, former Chairman of UPSC in May 2010 had made a series of recommendations in July 2010 including the rates of honorarium. The detailed recommendation of the expert committee is available on the website of this Department. It can be accessed through the Link. 

http://persmin.nic.in/DOPT/Publication/CommitteeReport/HotaCommitteeRevort/HotaCommitteeReport.pdf . The Committee had made specific recommendations as regards the rates of honorarium to IO/PO. The Reconunendations of the Committee on the proposed increases in Honorarium relating to IO/PO are contained in paras 37, 42-44 of the report of the Committee. 

3. The recommendations of the Expert Committee on the aspect of revision of rates of honorarium along with some other related measures were examined in the Department and was placed before the Group of Ministers on Corruption, set up for examining measures, including legislative and administrative, to tackle corruption and improve transparency. The Group of Ministers while considering the Terms of Reference also considered the recommendations of the HOTA Committee and recommended that the remuneration of the 

IOs and POs may be fixed, keeping in mind the recommendations of the HOTA Committee. These recommendations of the GOM have been accepted by the Government. 

4. It has therefore been decided to revise the existing rates of honorarium payable to IO/PO in line with the recommendations of the Expert Committee. The revised rates of Honorarium and other allowances payable to IO both serving and retired officers and PO(serving) and the terms and conditions governing the same is indicated in Annexure -1 to this OM. The rates of Honorarium stated therein are ceilings and the concerned 

ministry/department where the misconduct was committed may decide the exact quantum of honorarium to be paid keeping in mind the volume of work involved in specific cases and the terms and Conditions indicated in the Annexure -1. 

5. The revised structure of rates of honorarium and allowances as indicated in Annexure-I are intended to be made applicable to Departmental Proceedings including inquiry proceedings undertaken by the committee on Sexual Harassment, by Ministries /Department in respect of officials /officers serving under different cadres of services under their administrative control. However, in case a cadre of a service or organisations such as 

autonomous bodies have a separate set of rules and instructions for regulating honorarium to IO/PO in existence they may choose to continue with their own set of instructions. Fully or partially funded autonomous bodies may retain their own provisions so long as they are not more beneficial than what has been proposed in this OM. 

6. This orders will take effect from tie date of issue of this OM and will also apply to all inquiries in progress. 

7. The services of serving officers may be used as IO and PO to the extent possible in the conduct of departmental inquiries. However, Central Vigilance Commission has been requested to create and maintain a panel of retired officers/officials willing to serve as IO for conducting departmental inquiries and for this purpose also design a procedure for inviting applications from the retired Government Servants to be followed by the Ministries and Departments. Till such time such a panel of retired officers become available from CVC, the concerned ministries /departments may, where it is not possible to use the services of a 

serving officer as Inquiry Officer for conducting departmental inquiries, use the services of officers who have retired from Ministries/Departments, for conducting such departmental inquiries. 

8. This issues with the concurrence of Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide their UO no.14(4)/2009-E-II(B) dated 26.3.2012 and 5.6.2012.

Review of three years time limit for making compassionate appointment.

F.No.14014/3/2011-Estt. (D) 

Government of India 

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions 

Department of Personnel and Training

North Block, New Delhi, 

Dated the 26th, July 2012

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Review of three years time limit for making compassionate appointment.

The primary objective of scheme for compassionate appointment circulated vide O.M. No. 14014/6/94-Estt(D) dated 09.10.1998 is to provide immediate assistance to relieve the dependent family of the deceased or medically retired Government servant from financial destitution i.e. penurious condition. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment dated 05.04.2011 in Civil Appeal No. 2206 of 2006 filed by Local Administration Department vs. M. Selvanayagam ® Kumaravelu has observed that "an appointment made many years after the death of the employee or without due consideration of the financial resources available to his/her dependents and the financial deprivation caused to the dependents as a result of his death, simply because the claimant happened to be one of the dependents of the deceased employee would be directly in conflict with Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution and hence, quite bad and illegal. In dealing with cases of compassionate appointment, it is imperative to keep this vital aspect in mind”.

2. This Department’s O.M. No. 14014/6/1994-Esst.(D) dated 09.10.1998 provided that Ministries/Departments can consider requests for compassionate appointment even where the death or retirement on medical grounds of a Government servant took place long back, say five years or so. While considering such belated requests it was, however, to be kept in view that the concept of compassionate appointment is largely related to the need for immediate assistance to the family of the Government servant in order to relieve it from economic distress. The very fact that the family has been able to manage somehow all these years should normally be taken as adequate proof that the family had some dependable means of subsistence. Therefore, examination of such cases call for a great deal of circumspection. The decision to make appointment on compassionate grounds in such cases was to be taken only at the level of the Secretary of the Department/Ministry concerned.

3. Subsequently vide this Department’s O.M. No.14014/19/2002-Estt.(D) dated 5th May, 2003 a time limit of three years time was prescribed for considering cases of compassionate appointment. Keeping in view the Hon’ble High Court Allahabad judgment dated 07.05.2010 in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 13102 of 2010, the issue has been re-examined in consultation with Ministry of Law. It has been decided to withdraw the instructions contained in the O.M. dated 05.05.2003.

4. The cases of compassionate appointment may be regulated in terms of instructions issued vide O.M. dated 09.10.1998 as amended from time to time. The onus of examining the penurious condition of the dependent family will rest with the authority making compassionate appointment.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s instructions regarding fixation of pay of All India Service Officers on grant of proforma promotion, issued vide letter No. 14021/5/2008-AIS-II, dated 29.09.2008,wherein it is provided that:

‘In case an IAS officer on deputation to a post gets promoted in his cadre to a post in a higher grade, his pay in the pay band will be fixed with 

reference to the pay in the pay band of the officer immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service. However, the officer in question would continue to draw the grade pay attached to the deputation post for the remaining duration of the deputation.”

2. However, in certain cases, it has been noticed that the pay of All India Service Officers, on grant of proforma promotion to a higher grade in the parent cadre, has been fixed with reference to the pay of a junior in the cadre who was already drawing more pay than the senior officer even before promotion on account of greater length of his service. It has also been noticed that officers, who get proforma promotion in relaxation of Next Below Rule in terms of DOPT O.M. No.8/8/84/Estt.(Pay. I), dated 15.07.1985 as no immediate junior is available for appointment to the higher grade against an available vacancy in the cadre, have sought to get their pay fixed with reference to the pay of a junior in the cadre who has not even been promoted to the higher scale in which they have got proforrna promotion.

3. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure and it s clarified that fixation of pay on 

grant of proforma promotion with reference to the pay of junior only means that the pay in pay-band or pay-scale may be fixed in terms of normal rules applicable in the case of fixation of pay of junior in State cadre by grant of one increment @ 3% of basic pay, subject to the maximum of pay band-4 or the pay scale. However, where the deputation post is in any pay band with a grade pay, the grade pay would remain unchanged and where the deputation post is in a pay scale, the pay scale would remain unchanged.
