Sir, several question raised regarding the Finance Ministry and the External affairs and Irrigation Ministry have been clarified by my colleagues from those Ministries. My task, therefore, have been simplified to that extent. Before I go to the question financial and economic raised by several honourable members. I should like to clarify one or two points which are more administrative than economic or financial. One of them raised by my honourable friend, He raised the question about the recruitment by the assistant superintendents’ departmental competitive examination and particularly about examination held in 1960. He said that about Rs. 6 lacs were spent for the 1960 examination and latter it was declared that no vacancy were available. He therefore suggested that a definite procedure should be there and the examination should be held according to the vacancies declared in advance and all persons who have qualified in that examination should be eligible for promotion and appointment. Sir, I do not know whether the honourable members knows how these vacancies are filled. He probably refers to the section officers’ grade in the Central Secretariat services. This is filled 50 per cent by direct recruitment by departmental competitive examination open to the assistants that is the next lower grade and the rest 25 per cent by promotion of the Assistants on the basis of seniority subject to fitness. The examination, therefore that he was referring to was a departmental competitive examination for filling 25 per cent of the vacancies. It takes about one year in the Union Public Service Commission to declare the results of the examination from the time they take up the question of the examination. It is not therefore possible to declared the number of vacancies to be filled in from the very beginning to declare them just when the results are out is more realistic and that is what is done. Sir, if the examination is treated as qualifying examination, the number of persons who will thus become eligible for appointment will be quite unrelated to the number of vacancies to be filled in and then, the very situation which the honourable Member wishes to avoid would arise. It would not then be possible to hold any of the examination at regular intervals and promotions against this quota would become very fitful. The honourable Members also suggested that the rules for recruitment and promotion etc. should be uniform for all ministries whether participating in the Central Secretariat service scheme or not. It must be and this is so except for the Ministry of External Affairs and the Railways. These have different rules but these rules are very much similar and there is not much difference. But because these persons are recruited for different purposes and by different agencies, they are separate. Therefore his purpose in saying that there should be uniformity is almost carried out. The only difference is that the Ministry of home affairs does not control the services in these two Ministries.
