OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Promotion of Accounts Clerk
Will the Section Officer (E-IV), Government of the Punjab, Communication & Works Department, kindly refer to his letter No. SOE-IV(C&W)-13-1/2018, dated 20.01.2021, on the subject noted above?
2. The case has been examined. Finance Department observes that:
- In light of Finance Department’s Notification No. FD.PC.40-43/2017(B) dated 14.12.2018, the post of Accounts Clerk (BS-15) stood re-designated as Accountant (BS-15) w.e.f. 14.12.2018 and was to be separated from clerical cadre through amendment in the service rules. Hence, Administrative Department may move the case for amendment in the Service Rules to the Service Rules Committee of S&GAD, accordingly.
- If the incumbents were promoted as Accounts Clerk (BS-15) prior to 14.12.2018, they were rightly promoted. However, their posts stood re-designated as Accountant (BS-15) w.e.f. 14.12.2018.
- If the incumbents were promoted as Accounts Clerk (BS-15) after 14.12.2018, they were not rightly promoted as their posts stood re-designated as Accountant (BS-15) w.e.f. 14.12.2018.
3. Administrative Department is further advised to approach Regulations Wing of S&GA Department for confirmation of above views or otherwise, as the actualization of a promotion is their domain.
