Huge promotional benefits in OSS Cadre

Recently 144 OSS Officers (22 DS + 122 DO) got promotion to higher ranks.

These officers were recruited during 1982-83 & 1983-84 and there was hardly any scope for promotion, so restructuring of OSS Cadre was taken up and amendment of Cadre Rule was done.

Additional Chief Secretary Home and Development Commissioner, Asit Kumar Tripathy, who was instrumental in restructuring the OSS cadre to improve effectiveness among the officers, took steps to relax old age stipulations on promotional aspects.The ‘Residency Period’ was relaxed in all the posts so as to favor speedy promotions.

Mr.Tripathy has been generous in providing promotions to the officers and during last six months 289 Officers have been promoted.

More than 100 Under Secretaries are waiting to be promoted to the rank of Deputy Secretary very soon.

So we can say that OSS Officers are getting huge promotional benefits this year. But it's obvious, present ASOs have to struggle for next promotion.
