What is the administrative protocol for the "revival" of a post that has been deemed abolished, and who holds the competent authority to approve it?
The administrative protocol mandates that any proposal for the revival of a post that has been deemed abolished must be initiated by the concerned Administrative Ministry only if there is a compelling, unavoidable functional necessity to restore the post. The proposal must be routed through the Internal Financial Division (IFD) with a detailed justification outlining why the work could not be outsourced, managed through contracts, or redistributed among the surviving staff. The absolute competent authority to approve the formal revival of such posts rests solely with the Department of Expenditure under the Ministry of Finance.
What are the strict criteria established by the compendium for the "transfer" or "re-allocation" of sanctioned posts between different offices or departments?
The transfer or re-allocation of regular sanctioned posts from one office, bureau, or location to another can be processed only if there is an explicit structural reorganization, shift in workload, or winding up of an existing unit. Administrative Ministries cannot arbitrarily shift a post from a subordinate office to a headquarters establishment to accommodate personnel. Any such inter-departmental or intra-departmental transfer of posts requires the mutual agreement of the concerned administrative heads and the mandatory prior concurrence of the Department of Expenditure.
