So far as upgradation of posts is concerned, the same involves creation of post at a level higher than the level in which the post stands sanctioned.

Therefore, by corollary, no post could be upgraded in an autonomous body, except with the prior approval of the Department of Expenditure.

2. In view thereof, if any view is taken by the Governing Body of an Autonomous Body regarding upgradation of a post, the same cannot be treated as the final decision per se as such a view is merely a recommendation and cannot supersede the provisions contained โ€˜in the aforesaid OM dated 4.9.2020. All such recommendations are required to be processed by the concerned administrative Ministry with the concurrence of the concerned FA for seeking approval of the Department of Expenditure.

3, Accordingly, all the Financial Advisors are advised to keep the above provisions strictly in mind and follow them whenever any case for-upgradation of posts is considered by the Administrative Ministry under their purview. :

4. This issues with the approval of competent authority.
