CADRE REVIEW
Cadre
review is an important aspect of cadre management. It ensures a healthy
balance between the functional requirements of an organisation and
legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The thrust of such an
exercise is on scientific manpower projection and recruitment planning
in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to enhance
efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms of
the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once ever y
five years .
The
status of Group ‘A’ Services is reviewed regularly. After first such
review this year in April, all the concerned Departments were advised by
the Cabinet Secretary to formulate appropriate cadre review proposals.
Further, Para 1(ix) of the Government of India, Department of
Expenditure Resolution No.1/1/2008-IC dated 29 August, 2008, whereby its
decisions on the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission have
been conveyed enjoins upon all the Cadre Controlling Authorities to
review the services/cadres under the administrative control within a
year. The Cadre Controlling Authorities have been reminded again October
2008.
There
are 58 Central Group ‘A’ Services, out of which 44 services are due for
cadre review this year, i.e., 2008. The cadre review proposals of five
of the remaining forty four Group ‘A’ Services are already under active
consideration. These are Indian

CADRE REVIEW
Defence
Service of Engineers and Military Engineering Service (Surveyor Cadre),
Military Engineering Service (Architect Cadre), Indian Inspection
Service and Indian Supply Service The progress is being monitored
constantly.
The
Cadre Review Division also compiles and analyses statistical
information of all the Central Group ‘A’ Services. The inconsistencies,
if noted during the analysis, are brought to the notice of the concerned
Cadre Controlling Authority. This exercise is undertaken on half yearly
basis in January and July every year. The data as on 1st January, 2008
has already been compiled and analysed. The detailed report in this
regard is also posted on this Department’s website. However, it has been
decided that the next analysis would be done only after completion of
cadre review of all the services envisaged in the Government’s
Resolution mentioned above.
Objectives of a Cadre Review
3.3
The main purpose of a cadre review is to restructure a cadre in such a
way as to remove the deficiencies which might be existing at the time of
the constitution of a service or have crept in subsequently and ensure
that the cadre structure satisfies the functional, structural and
personnel considerations. Cadre review provides an opportunity to
overcome various bottlenecks, remove existing distortions and bring
about rationalisation of cadre structure so as to improve the efficiency
and morale of the cadre officers and thereby enhance the effectiveness
of the Service in the fulfilment of the objectives for which it has been
established.
3.4
The major part of the cadre review exercise concerns advance projection
of manpower requirements over the review period and the planning of
recruitment for this period. Rationalisation of the cadre from the
functional, structural and personnel angles is the other major objective
of a cadre review. Specifically, the main objectives of cadre review
are to:
i) estimate future manpower requirements on a scientific basis for a period of 5 years at a time,
ii) Plan recruitment in such a way as to avoid future promotional blocks and at the same time prevent gaps building up,
iii)
so restructure the cadre as to harmonise the functional needs with the
legitimate career expectations of its members and thus
iv) to enhance the effectiveness of the service.
3.5
The methodology of the cadre review is fully explained in the Detailed
Guidelines (1978) appended to this Monograph (Appendix III). Salient
features of the methodology are highlighted in the following link.

POINTS TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE CADRE CONTROLLING AUTHORITIES WHILE FORMULATING PROPOSALS FOR CADRE REVIEW
1. The
proposal for cadre review may be formulated in accordance with the
guidelines and instructions issued by the Department of Personnel and
Training and Department of Expenditure. If there are any deviations,
full justification therefore may be given.
2. The
proposal should begin with a brief background of the Service and the
development which have taken place since last cadre review.
3. It should contain the requisite data in prescribed proforma.
4. All contents may be chapterised suitably.
5. The abbreviations used in the proposal may be clubbed alphabetically in a list at the end of the proposal.
6. Full
justification may be given individually for each upgradation/creation
of posts, especially those at S.A.G. and higher levels.
7. While
sending cadre review proposals to Department of Personnel &
Training, the Cadre Controlling Authorities may indicate precisely the
functional requirements of various categories of posts and group them in
terms of duties and responsibilities. This can be done by conducting a
general job evaluation exercise, which would help in ensuring that
different grades in a cadre reflect distinctly different level of
functions and that higher posts do have higher level of duties and
responsibilities.
8. The existing level of stagnation vis-à-vis that after the proposed cadre review may be brought out clearly.
9. Various kinds of reserves may be shown separately (Training, Deputation, Probation, and Leave).
10. The existing training facilities and proposed augmentation, if any, may be indicated.
11. The existing strength and proposed strength (grade/pay-scale wise) may be given in a tabular statement.
12. Different mode of recruitment/promotion to various grades may be indicated.
13. All Instructions of the Government concerning downsizing the Government are duly taken into account.
14. Confirmation
to the effect that the proposal will not result in any increase in the
overall strength of the cadre or in introduction of new scales /
grades.
15. Matching
savings may be provided from within the cadre and financial
implications of the proposal (which should be budget neutral) should be
amplified.
16. If
the posts in the lowest grade are proposed to be abolished, its effect,
if any, on the promotion prospects of the incumbents of the feeder
posts may be indicated.
17. While
forwarding the cadre review proposals of Group ‘A’ Services, it may be
ensured that cadre review of feeder posts from Group ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ be
completed beforehand, so as to reflect the impact of the same on the
induction into Group ‘A’ Services, whenever the same is envisaged in the
Statutory Rules.
18. The
position of a pending SIU Report, if any, may be stated. The concerned
Ministry/Department should give a certificate that there is no ongoing
SIU study having a bearing on posts covered in the Cadre Review
Proposals and that no recommendations of SIU study pertaining to the
cadre are pending implementation.
19. The position regarding applicability or otherwise of NFSG instructions to the Service may be brought out.
20. The status of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, if any, about the Service, may be given.
21. A
copy each of the latest Civil List of the Service and the latest
Service Rules (Recruitment Rules) together with all amendments may be
enclosed.
In
pursuance of the decision taken in the 2nd meeting of the National
Anomaly Committee held on 27.03.2010, a Joint Committee to
examine the anomalies pertaining to the Modified Assured Career
Progression Scheme (MACPS) was constituted vide Department of
Personnel & Training (D0PT)'s O.M. No.11/1/2010- JCA dated
03.05.2010.
The
issue of providing an option to organisations/cadres to have a
choice for the benefits under the earlier ACPS or the MACPS was also
discussed in the meeting of the Joint Committee. While the issue
would require further deliberations, it is re- iterated that MACPS
(as was the case with the ACPS) is a fall back option in the event of
promotions not taking place. Cadre structure needs to be reviewed
periodically to harmonise the functional needs of the organisation
and career progression of employees. Accordingly, all concerned are
advised to review the cadre structure in a time bound manner with a
view to mitigate problem of stagnation.

Cadre review for Postman & MTS’
the MTS is the common category for all Central Govt. employees, there is no possibility of bringing them under cadre review.
As functional Justification could not be identified for the Postman and also the higher pay granted by the 6th CPC,
the official side did not favour any cadre review. However official
side came forward with the proposal if the Postman cadre opts out from
the MACP scheme and agree to take the percentage wise promotions it will
be considered. It requires a deep study and the Postman unions will
discuss the issue and come out with the proposals.
The chairman conveyed that the next meeting will be arranged in short notice to finalise the proposals.
