Promotion orders of non-joinee CSS officers may be withdrawn

Officers in various grades in CSS were issued promotion orders recently that included promotion of Deputy Secretaries to Director, Under Secretaries to Deputy Secretaries and Section Officers to Under Secretaries, but many officers have not yet joined at Director and Under Secretary level. The promoted officers in all grades, who have not yet assumed the charge of the posts, have been asked to assume charge not later than December 21, failing which their promotion orders may be withdrawn, apart from debarment from ad-hoc promotion or other suitable consequences.
