Chandigarh sets April 1, 2022, as cut-off for deputationists

The Chandigarh administration will set April 1, 2022, as the cut-off date for calculating the tenure of deputationists. This change means only service after this date will count towards their maximum tenure of seven years. Previously, deputationists could serve indefinitely under older rules. Now, their tenure will be limited, aligning with central civil service guidelines. A circular detailing these changes will be issued soon. Additionally, the administration is considering providing a deputation allowance for employees from Punjab and Haryana, who currently do not receive this benefit.
