Subject:       UPGRADATION OF THE POST OF ASSISTANT/HEAD CLERK FROM BS-14 TO BS-16.

                        I am directed to refer to the subject cited above and to state that Government of the Punjab has recently upgraded the subject post and following questions have arisen in this regard:

(i)                As to whether the upgraded post from BS-14 to BS-16 is to be treated as Gazetted or Non-Gazetted?

(ii)              As to whether the incumbents of the said post are required to submit their Charge Assumption Reports against the respective upgraded post or otherwise?

2.                    The case has been examined in the Finance Department and it is clarified that the term “Gazetted and Non-Gazetted” has since been dispensed with under Rule 5 of the Punjab Civil Servants (Change in Nomenclature of Services & Abolition of Classes) Rules, 1974. Now the terms “Officer and Official” exist and the same are defined in the Punjab Financial Rules Vol-I as under:

1.28-A:          “Officer” means Government Servant holding a post in National Pay Scale No.16 or higher National Pay Scale.

1.28-B:          “Official” means a Government Servant holding a post in National Pay Scales No.1 to 15.

3.                    In view of above, the incumbents of the subject post are Officers and they are required to submit their Charge Assumption Reports against respective upgraded post accordingly.
