ORDER:

1.     In addition to the recruitment of regular employees, Government has also been according permission to various departments for engaging personnel on contract/ outsourcing basis to meet the short-term manpower requirements in their establishments. Detailed instructions were issued in the G.O. first read above laying down certain norms relating to the appointment and the remuneration payable and other terms and conditions of contract and outsourcing.

2.     As per the above instructions all departments are required to obtain approval of the Finance Department for engaging the services of any individual either on contract or outsourcing basis. As these arrangements are intended for meeting the short-term requirements, it is necessary to review the need for continuation of such personnel periodically. However, contrary to the above instructions certain departments have made engaged the services of individuals on contract and outsourcing basis without obtaining prior approval of the Finance Department and sometimes without following any due process and compliance with the Constitutional and statutory provisions.

3.     Not with standing these shortcomings, the Government had issued a general order continuing the services of persons working on contractual and outsourcing on humanitarian considerations until March 31, 2014, vide Finance Department Circular Memo No. 6522 - A / 417 / A1 / SMPC. II / 2013, dt.13.09.2013. This extension was granted to all posts that were reviewed and cleared by the Finance department. However, the granted therein was not extended to the cases where the initial appointment was not done with the Finance department’ concurrence.

4.     In the reference third cited, the Government of India has notified the Andhra Pradesh Re-organisation Act, 2014, which envisages bifurcation of the existing State of Andhra Pradesh into States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on the Appointed Day of June 02, 2014. As the new Governments of both the successor states may need some time to take a policy decision on further continuance of the services of persons working on contractual and outsourced basis and to avoid hardship to those working on contract / outsourced basis on March 31, 2014, the Government has decided to extend the services of all the existing persons working on contract / outsourced basis until June 30, 2014.
