Jt. Secretary,Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure), Government of India
We have been receiving a number of references about the application of the ban on the creation of non-Plan posts imposed vide our O.M. No. F. 7 (18)-E. (Co-ord.)/ 79, dated the 7th September, 1979, in regard to the posts of Hindi Officers, Hindi Translators, etc., in the various Ministries / Departments needed for implementation of the Official Language Policy. We have; of course, clarified in our subsequent O.M. of the 3rd October, 1979, that posts required for fulfilling statutory requirements would be exempt from these ban orders. The Department of Official Language had in their D.O. Letter No. E. 11015117173-0L Cell, dated 6-8-1973, addressed to the various Ministries indicated a general scheme which could be adopted for providing the minimum Hindi staff in each Ministry I Department I Office. This could form the basis for determining the staff needed for implementation of the Official Language Policy in individual organizations and proposals for sanctioning Hindi staff may be considered by the
F.As. without involving the ban orders. Where, however, proposals are made by the Ministries for upgrading some of the existing posts either by comparing with other Ministries or on ground of increased responsibilities, they may please be referred to the Establishment Division so that, if necessary, in such cases, an objective study by the SIU could be made. Also, all proposals relating to creation of Class I posts needed for implementation of the Official Language Policy may please be submitted for approval of Finance Minister through Secretary (E).
