ANSWER
Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances

JITENDRA SINGH)
(a) to (c): The
DOPT Office Memorandum (O.M.) No. 36033/5/2004-Estt(SCT) dated 14 October, 2004
is only a clarification explaining the provisions of DOPT O.M. No.
36012/22/93-Estt.(SCT) dated 8.9.1993. The O.M. of 8.9.1993 was issued by the
DOPT based on the recommendations of an Expert Committee constituted by the
then Ministry of Welfare.
The earlier unsigned
typed copy of the English version of the O.M. dated 14.10.2004, uploaded on the
website of this Department, had certain discrepancies in respect of Paragraph 9
vis-a vis its Hindi version uploaded on the Department’s website. It was,
therefore, felt necessary to rectify that discrepancy. Subsequently, the signed
version of the O.M. was traced and uploaded on the Department’s website and now
it is seen that there is no error in Paragraph 9 of the English version of the
O.M. dated 14.10.2004 vis-a vis the Hindi version.
(d) & (e): In
case of recommendation of name of a candidate by UPSC for service allocation,
the candidate is considered for allocation to one of those services by the
Government for which he has indicated his preference as per Civil Services
Examination Rules and extant instruction on the subject.
