Review of the Policy for inter cadre transfer/deputation for North East Cadres

If an officer borne on a cadre other than a north
east cadre opts to go on inter cadre deputation to the North east the
conditionalities of completion of 9 years of service in his own cadre
and of his not having been promoted to the super time scale may be
relaxed.

In other words an officer from any cadre other than north east cadre
would be allowed to go on deputation to any north east cadre at any time
in his service.

For officers borne on a cadre other than a north east cadre who go to
the north east on home deputation the maximum term of deputation would
be 5 years and for other than home deputation would be extendable to 9
years. Further
cases of officers hailing from any of the north eastern states opting
for inter cadre deputation to his/ her home state in the north east will
be considered on case-to-case basis.

It is proposed that eligibility service for inter
cadre deputation may be fixed as 7 years of service. The entire period
of inter cadre deputation should be finished by 25 years of over all
service of the officer.

The maximum term of deputation including home deputation will be 9 years
instead of 5 years subject to availability of deficit in the cadre. The
inter cadre deputation may be availed in two or more spells.

A lady AIS officer borne on a North East Cadre is
allowed to go on inter cadre deputation after completion of 6 years of
actual service in the north east. Such lady officer would also be
eligible for deputation for a maximum of 9 years instead of 5 years.

As per existing guidelines, if officers from outside
cadres go on deputation to North East cadres, the conditionalities of
cooling off would be waived off, provided he completes a term of
deputation of at least five years. In other words, an officer from any
cadre would be allowed to go on deputation to the North East directly
after a full period of Central deputation without cooling off.

Conversely, an officer from any other cadre would be given a full term
of Central deputation directly after a full term of deputation in the
North East for at least five years, without cooling off on the basis of
the officer’s own request and subject to cadre clearance.

Central Service/Central Secretariat Service officers
who are willing to work in North East may be posted on non-cadre posts
in the Secretariat of the States.
