In a notice addressed to them on March 10, it said that the Department of Personnel and Training in receipt of various references from State Governments seeking clarifications on specific instances where IAS officers, posted outside their State cadre, have not been able to get proforma promotion even though they are otherwise eligible to get the said promotion, had they not been posted outside the cadre.  

Sandeep Kumar Sinha, Under Secretary to Government of India, said that this could be primarily due to two reasons
(i) The officer posted outside his / her State cadre is the junior most in his / her batch of that State Cadre and no junior officer to him is eligible to be considered for promotion in the next higher grade in that state cadre;  

(ii) All the officers of the eligible batch to be considered for promotion are on central deputation and no junior officer to them is eligible to be considered for promotion in the next higher grade in that state cadre.
