Two Assured Career Progression (ACP) pay scales on the pattern of Haryana Government and as modified from time to time, would be allowed to all the non-technical Class C and D employees of the Centre.

1.2 Technical Assistants, AC Mechanic and Electrician

Two Assured Career Progression (ACP) pay scales on the pattern of Haryana Government and as modified from time to time, would be allowed to the Technical Assistants, AC Mechanic and Electrician.

1.3 Scientific Staff (Senior Scientific Assistants and above)

The scientist would be reviewed for promotion to next grade on the completion of a minimum period of continuous service in the scale as specified in Appendix-2 and Appendix-3.

1.3.2 The selection grade as provided in Appendix-1, 2 and 3 are only notional pay scales for the purpose of promotion and there are no such sanctioned posts in HARSAC.

1.3.3 The sanctioned post would fall vacant following superannuation or resignation or dismissal from a personally promoted rank.

1.3.4 The promotions would be applicable prospectively. However, for the purpose of rationalization of promotions, the pay fixation w.e.f. the notional date of joining of an officer would be done. But no arrears from the notional date of joining would be paid.

2. Review

2.1 The promotion to the next grade would be based upon the review of the performance of the candidate after a set number of years in a particular grade in para 2. The selection process will be based on merit alone and is aimed at identifying the meritorious candidates as compared to the other candidates who are otherwise normal. Elimination of the unfit will also form part of the review process.

2.2 The meeting of Selection Committee as constituted by the Governing Body, HARSAC shall be held once a year and the candidates would be promoted w.e.f. the date of eligibility.

3. Procedure for review:

3.1 The procedure for review will consist of screening wherever applicable, interview and evaluation of ACR. The Selection Committee will make an overall assessment taking into consideration all the relevant factors and more especially the accomplishments of the candidates (achievements under various projects, R&D work, project reports, research publications, review papers, bulletins etc.) during the period under review, merit being the main consideration.

3.2 Screening is to ensure that the candidates presented to the Selection Committee for assessment are those who prima facie appear to possess the necessary minimum merit demonstrated through accomplishments in their area of work during the period under review. Since the Selection procedure for the posts of scientists is based on the principle of peer review, the screening process is also aimed at ensuring that the persons recommended have more or less the same level of technical proficiency and competence expected of the Scientists to discharge their responsibilities in the higher grade. The Screening Committee will consider each case carefully and objectively and make suitable recommendations after examining the work report of each individual, ACR assessment, recommendation of the Divisional/Unit Head and research/ papers/technical reports, if any generated by the person concerned.

3.3 The Screening Committee will categorize the persons as those 'Screened in' i.e., those who could be considered by the Selection Committee, and those 'Screened out', that is those not recommended by them for being considered by Selection Committee. These recommendations will be considered by the Competent Authority for appropriate decisions.

3.4 Where the competent authority, on consideration of the recommendations of the Screening Committee decides that the candidate does not qualify the consideration for promotion by the Selection Committee, his/her case will be placed before the Screening Committee after one year. The screening procedure as laid down above will be repeated.

4. Selection Procedure:

The Selection Committee will consist of experts in the area, including internal/external. The Committee will interview the candidates who have been recommended by the Screening Committee as approved by the competent authority, evaluate the accomplishments of each Scientist in terms of his/ her work, publication (reports, research papers in Journals/ proceedings) and recommend his/ her suitability for promotion to the higher grade. The Committee will also keep in mind, apart from the accomplishments of the scientist during the period under review, keenness exhibited in the pursuit of his/ her profession, ability to take up higher responsibilities including R & D capabilities, managerial/ leadership qualities (as applicable) etc.

5. Recommendations of the Selection Committee:

The committee will make suitable recommendations for consideration & approval by the competent authority. The Selection Committee, while considering each case, may recommend, based on its assessment, any one of the following:

(a) Promotion of the Officer to the next higher grade from the effective date of promotion.

(b) Promotion of the Officer to the next higher grade with the retardation by six months with the effective date of promotion.

(c) Status-quo-i.e., no change in the grade.

6. Re-review:

The respect of those who have been recommended status-quo, their cases will again be considered by the Screening Committee after a period of one year only subject to satisfactory performance during the period. However, if the candidates fails to get promoted in two consecutive interviews, his/ her subsequent reviews will be after a gap of two years only on every occasion.

7. Approval of the recommendation of the Selection Committee:

The recommendation of the Selection Committee will be further considered by the appointing authority who will take decision in every case. The decision of such authority shall be final.
