3. Pursuant thereto, 3/4th of the employees working in ICFRE i.e. about 1448 employees decided to get permanently absorbed in the society and accordingly applied for being so absorbed. On 29.06.1992 resolution No.12-2/92-FE was notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, informing that permanent absorption of ICFRE employees in ICFRE society shall take effect from 01.04.1993.

4. In view of the fact that a considerable number of ICFRE employees did not opt for permanent absorption in the society, another opportunity was given to the employees who had not opted for permanent absorption in ICFRE society; to opt for the same, vide resolution No.2-10/92-FE dated 31.07.1992 notified by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. Be it noted here that the said resolution provided that the employees should exercise the option by 30.09.1992 and that the permanent absorption of the employees in the society shall take effect from 01.04.1993. Relevant also would be to note that along with the said resolution two notes containing clarifications in respect of doubts raised by the associations of employees of ICFRE as also detailing the service conditions of permanently absorbed of ICFRE society were also circulated.

"(7) The seniority of the employees after their absorption in the Society in the existing grade/post should be protected and the services rendered by the employees in the existing post prior to absorption, shall also be counted alongwith the services rendered in the ICFRE society for the purposes of future promotion/early growth and their designation should not be changed.

There will be no distinction between the existing ICFRE employees and the Central Govt. optees absorbed in ICFRE on a later date as the Govt. has allowed retrospective absorption of the Central Govt. optees w.e.f. 1.4.93. The seniority and other service terms and conditions will be same once the Central Govt. optees get absorbed in ICFRE."
