The Finance Ministry clarified on Saturday that there is no restriction or ban on filling posts in the Government of India, a day after it issued an order prohibiting the creation of new posts in central ministries, with a view to alleviating pressure on government resources due to the current fiscal situation.
In a new circular today, the ministry said it will continue the normal recruitment process through various government agencies, adding that Friday’s circular only addresses the internal procedure for job creation.
“There is no restriction or prohibition to fill posts in the Government of India. Normal recruitment through government agencies such as the Personnel Selection Commission (SSC), the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), the Railroad Contracting Board (RRB), etc. it will continue as usual without any brake, ”the Finance Ministry said today.
“The circular of the Department of Expenditure (DoE) dated September 4, 2020 deals with the internal procedure for the creation of positions and does not affect in any way or restrict hiring,” he added.
The circular issued by the Department of Energy on Friday listed administrative spending measures and a ban on job creation, in an attempt to protect and preserve priority spending.
