Subject:- Timely and advance
action in convening of Departmental Promotion Committee meeting in terms of

The undersigned is directed to state
that with a view to having the approved select panels for promotion ready in
advance in a time-bound manner, this Department has issued a Model Calendar for
DPCs vide OM No. 22011 /9/98-Estt. (D) dated 8th September, 1998 as modified
vide OM No. 22011/4/2013-Estt.(D) dated 28.01.2015. An indicative pattern has
been provided in the Model Calendar for various events involved in the pre/
post DPC related actions. All the Ministries/Departments have been impressed
upon from time to time by this Department to adhere to the prescribed time-line
so as to ensure that the panel is ready in time and is utilised as and when the
vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy year.

in promotion affects the manpower planning and impedes the career progression
of the employees. The delays .in conduct of DPC negate the very purpose of the
Model Calendar for Diplex issued vide Office Memorandum No.22011/9/98-Estt.(D)
dated 8th September, 1998 as modified vide OM No. 22011/4/2013-Estt.(D) dated
28/01/2015.
4. The objective of timely
promotions of employees in various Ministries/Departments can be achieved only
by granting the promotion in time.
5. All the Ministries/Departments
are, therefore, once again advised to ensure strict compliance of instructions
in order to achieve the desired objectives of timely convening of
Diplex/preparation of approved select panels within the prescribed time frame.

references seeking clarification on the admissibility of conversion of Home
Town LTC facility into travel to different parts of the country, which is

conversion of Home Town LTC to allow travel to different parts of the country,
under the special dispensation scheme, will also apply to an unmarried Central
Government servant, who is eligible to avail the benefit of LTC to visit Home
Town every year. This facility may be availed by converting one occasion of
