"IV PROMOTION IN THE SUPERTIME SCALE The members of the Service who are working in the Selection Grade and have completed 16 years of service shall be eligible for appointment in the Supertime Scale at any time during the year of their eligibility, subject to availability of vacancies in this grade. The Screening Committee to consider officers for promotion in this scale would consist of the Chief Secretary as Chairman and 2 officers working in the grade of Principal Secretary within the State Government concerned, as members.
If, however, there is only one officer working in the grade of Principal Secretary to the Government available in the cadre, the senior-most Supertime Scale officer available in the cadre may be included in the Committee."

The instructions, inter alia, provide for appointment to a senior time scale, junior administrative grade and to the selection grade. An officer is eligible to be appointed in the senior time scale on the completion of four years' service, subject to the provisions of Rule 6A of the IAS (Recruitment) Rules, 1954. A Committee has to evaluate the performance of eligible officers for deciding their suitabilities for promotion to a post in the senior time scale. An officer is eligible for appointment to the junior administrative grade on completing nine years of service. This grade is regarded as a non functional grade and is admissible without any screening and as a matter of course, to all officers of the senior time scale except where disciplinary or criminal proceedings are pending. An officer in the junior administrative grade is eligible for appointment to the selection grade on the completion of thirteen years of service under the proviso to Rule 3(2A) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 1954 and a Committee is to screen eligible members of the service for promotion to this grade. Promotion in the super time scale is of those officers in the selection grade who have completed sixteen years of service subject to the availability of vacancies in that grade, at any time during the year of eligibility. A Screening Committee is contemplated for evaluating cases for promotion to the super time scale.
