Under the historic amendment the government would no more have to wait till the officer became 50 years in age. Now the mandatory review would be made after 15 years in service and those found to be inefficient would be given compulsory retirement. However, the earlier system under which the service record of a class one central government employee was reviewed after 25 years in service or on the achievement of 50 years of age, whichever is earlier, would be still in force.
The Chairman of the Union Public Service Commision (UPSC) D P Agarwal had last year suggested to the Centre that the inefficient officers should not be allowed to continue in service in public interest. Presently a government official could only be terminated for culpability in criminal activities and involvement in corruption. The new amendment would serve like a warning bell for the inefficient officers.
