permitting the candidates to refuse promotion because this results in delay
in filling up of vacancies. Such refusal can be permitted only in exceptional
cases where the Controller General of Accounts is satisfied that request for
refusal, is not for the purpose of evading outstation posting, but is due to
circumstances which render it impossible for the person concerned to
move out of his present station of posting, as in the case of life-threatening
diseases [cancer, chronic cardiac disease having gone through bye-pass
surgery, tuberculosis (exemption for one year only), etc], It is therefore
advisable that the candidates should join the promotion post in the first
instance and then apply for change of station as indicated in the preceding
paragraph. It is otherwise also in the interest of the candidates concerned
to join their promotion post at the earliest because promotion is effective
from the date of assuming charge of the promotion post.
7. Refusal of promotion, where accepted by the Controller General
of Accounts, will result in debarment as provided in Deptt. of Personnel &
Training, O.M. No. 22011/5/86-Estt.(D), dated 10-4-1989 as amended from
time to time. These instructions also provide for compulsory enforcement
of posting orders and initiation of disciplinary proceedings against persons
who do not comply with the orders. The debarred employees will not be
allowed to go on deputation during the period of their debarment, and after
expiry of this period, they may again be posted at outstation. In other
words, refusal of promotion would give them temporary relief but they will
not be allowed to escape all-India transfer liability.
8. While enforcing all-India transfer liability, this office may make
exceptions in case of female employees, or employees having major
physical handicap, or where services of any particular employee are
needed at the Headquarters (which consists of CGA office, INGAF and
CPAO for the purpose of this O.M.).
