Sub: Delay in issue of posting orders leading to abnormal extension of joining time – fixation of accountability regarding.

Madam/Sir,

       In inviting a reference to the subject cited above, it is to state that Administrative Departments have been delegated with powers to sanction joining time upto a period of 120 days vide Finance Department O.M. No. 12598/F, dated 28.03.2011. Procedure to be followed in the matter of relief from old post and joining the new post for which joining time is admissible has been prescribed in Finance Department O.M. No. 5711/F, dated 05.02.1980. Further, conditions required to be fulfilled while submitting proposal for sanction of joining time beyond the period of 120 days have been outlined in Finance Department Circular Letter No. 47352/F, dated 09.10.2002 read with Circular Letter No. 50965/F, dated 15.12.2006. It is thus expected that extension of joining time beyond 120 days limit would not ordinarily arise if the procedure contained in Finance Department O.M. No. 5711/F, dated 05.02.1980 is followed scrupulously.

2. It has, however, come to the notice of Government that in certain cases, files relating to issue of detailed posting orders and joining instructions are being kept pending at various levels without adequate justification, resulting in abnormal delay and submission of proposals for extension of joining time beyond 6 (six) months and above.

3. Such instances are viewed seriously by Government and negatively pointed out by Audit as sanction of extension of joining time resulted in paying idle salary to an employee. Delay on the part of officials in processing such files leads to avoidable administrative complications and financial implications, including payment of salary without commensurate service, which is not desirable and needs to be strictly avoided

4. In view of the above, Government after careful consideration have been pleased to direct the following:

(i) Fixation of accountability: Administrative Departments shall fix responsibility on the officers concerned for whose inaction led to sanction of joining time beyond 30 days. The idle salary paid to the govt servant shall be recovered from the erring officials.

(ii) Discouraging routine extension: Extension of joining time beyond the admissible limit shall not be allowed as a matter of routine. Proposals involving extension of joining time beyond 120 days and particularly beyond 6 months shall be subjected to strict scrutiny.

(iii) Utilisation of services during interim period: In cases where an employee has reported for duty but detailed posting orders are yet to be issued, the Administrative Department / Controlling Authority shall ensure that the services of the concerned employee are gainfully utilized in an appropriate office/assignment during the intervening period, so as to avoid payment of idle salary.

(iv) Pre-condition for submission of proposal: No proposal for extension of joining time shall be considered unless the Administrative Department clearly indicates:

  • the reasons for delay,
  • the officers/officials responsible for such delay, and
  • the action taken against the erring officers.

The proposal/file shall be submitted only after incorporating the above details.

5. All Departments are requested to ensure strict compliance of these instructions. Any deviation in this regard shall be viewed seriously.

Yours faithfully,

Principal Secretary to Government

IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK
WP(C) No.11716 of 2026

Panchanan Jena & Ors. ….. Petitioners
Represented by Adv. - Kunal Kumar Swain
-versus-
State of Odisha & Anr. ….. Opposite Parties 
Represented by Adv. - S. Behera, A.G.A.

CORAM: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ADITYA KUMAR MOHAPATRA

ORDER
21.04.2026

Order No.

  1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

  2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners as well as learned Additional Government Advocate for the State-Opposite Parties. Perused the writ application as well as the documents annexed thereto.

  3. By filing the present writ application, the Petitioners call in question the conduct of the Opposite Parties in treating the Junior Teachers (Schematic), who were appointed in the year 2023-24 as senior to the present Petitioners. In course of his argument, learned counsel for the Petitioners contended that the Petitioners were initially engaged as Junior Teachers (Contractual) in the year 2018. Upon completion of 3 years of service, they were engaged as Junior Teachers and, finally, with effect from 11.12.2024, they were appointed as regular teachers Elementary. He further contended that in the meantime the Opposite Parties have changed the rules by virtue of the notification dated 02.04.2026 whereby the Junior Teachers (Schematic), who were engaged in the Primary and Upper Primary School during the year 2023-24 and were issued with the engagement order in the year 2024, have been regularized from the date of their initial engagement. As a result, such Junior Teachers (Schematic) are likely to be placed above the present Petitioners, who were initially recruited in the year 2018 in the gradation list. He further contended that the decision of the Government vide notification dated 02.04.2026 at Annexure-10 has not been implemented so far. Being aggrieved by such notification, the Petitioners have approached this Court by filing the present writ application.

  1. Learned Additional Government Advocate for the State-Opposite Parties sought for some time to obtain instruction in the matter.

  2. Considering the prayer of the learned counsel for the State, he is granted four weeks’ time to obtain instruction in the matter.

  3. List this matter in the week commencing 29.06.2026.

I.A. No.7218 of 2026

  1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners

  2. As an interim measure, it is directed that the decision vide notification dated 02.04.2026 of the S&ME Department, Government of Odisha at Annexure-10 shall not be given effect to till the next date.
