CHENNAI: To examine the need for continuing the temporary posts in government departments, the Tamil Nadu government will form a three member committee. A GO has been issued to give effect to the formation of the committee.

According to the GO, issued by the Finance Secretary, head of the concerned department and an official nominated by the Finance Secretary will be part of the committee. A special invitee from the Human Resources Department, if required, will also be appointed. Based on the recommendations of the committee, "the need to continue the posts as temporary or other otherwise beyond 10 years of their creation and posts which are vacant for more than five years will be considered by the government".

The government also said that the proposals for continuing temporary posts beyond their sanctioned period are often received belatedly and the temporary posts are utilised without further continuance and the pay and emoluments for the posts are claimed every month based on the pay authorisation resulting in receipt of vast number of files from all the Secretariat departments.

The proposals seeking continuance of temporary posts has to be examined in detail after taking into account the purpose for which the posts were created.

Similarly, the posts which are kept vacant for more than five years may no longer be required for the purpose for which they were created and allowing them to continue for a further period serves no purpose. The need for such posts for more than five years also needs examination, said the government in the GO.
