ESTABLISHMENT DEPARTMENT
(REGULATION WING)

No. SO(POLICY)/E&AD/4-5/2024Deputation Policy Dated Peshawar, the October 01, 2024

Subject:          NON-OBSERVANCE. OF INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING MAXIMUM PERIOD OF DEPUTATION.

Dear Sir,

I am directed to state that the Establishment Division, Islamabad has taken a strong exception to the employees’ drawl of pay from their posts despite completion of their deputation period. Consequently, AGPR, Islamabad has been directed to ensure immediate stoppage of pay (via Salary System) of the deputationists on expiry of deputation period.

2.                     It is relevant to add that as per existing policy of the Provincial Government. the maximum period of deputation shall not exceed more than five years. However, in case of special circumstance, extension in deputation of civil servant is considered to be absolutely essential and in the public interest, shall be referred to Establishment Department at least three months in advance of the expiry of the maximum period of deputation. It is noted with great concern that the policy instructions on the subject arc not properly followed causing undue delay in processing of such cases in time.

3.                     In view of the above, I am directed to convey that on completion of deputation period i.e. on the last date of specified period of deputation, the employee should automatically stand relieved of his duties and pay should be stopped unless orders of the competent authority have been obtained in advance for extending the deputation period.
