LG gives nod to restructure Delhi services cadre

Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Friday approved with immediate effect the first cadre restructuring of Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Subordinate Services (GNCTDSS), which will pave the way for the promotion of about 13,000 Group C and Group B employees of the Delhi government as Group A officials, according to an official order.

Delhi Administrative Subordinate Services (DASS), as GNCTDSS was previously known, was constituted in 1967, and was not restructured in the last 56 years, despite the mandate to reconstitute it every five years, an official in the LG office said.

Under DASS, officials were directly recruited as Grade-II or assistant section officers. They could get promoted only once in their entire career up to Grade-I(DASS) or section officer (Group B-gazetted), the official said.
