Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav Chaired Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday at the Mantralaya. The Cabinet approved the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Promotion Rules, 2025, ensuring the representation and protection of interests of the reserved categories. Provisions include 20% reservation for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and 16% for Scheduled Castes (SC). SC and ST public servants will also have the opportunity for promotion based on merit.

It has been provided that promotion committees may meet in the current year itself to prepare selection lists for the next year's vacancies, i.e., provisions for advance DPCs (Departmental Promotion Committees) have been included. Due weightage is given to seniority, and among senior officials, those obtaining the minimum qualifying marks will be eligible for promotion. For Class I officers, a merit-cum-seniority principle will apply.

The rules aim to encourage efficiency, with clear criteria defining ineligibility for promotion. Circumstances under which an official becomes ineligible and the impact of penalties are clearly outlined. Provisions have been made for holding review DPCs for reconsideration of decisions. The new rules eliminate the system of rotation, which will help create more promotional posts. DPCs are empowered to determine the suitability of candidates.

For Class IV employees, there will be no marks system; they will be promoted solely based on suitability. Even partial service in a year will be considered as full qualifying service. If only a part of the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) is available, it will be valid for the full year. If a promotion is delayed due to unavailability of ACRs, seniority will be preserved once promotion is granted. Unforeseen vacancies will be filled from the selection/waiting list.

Provisions have been made to allow promotion against posts vacated by officers on deputation who will not be available in the promotion year. If an ACR is missing due to No Report Certificate (NRC), sanctioned leave, probation, or training, or if self-assessment is recorded on time, promotion will not be withheld due to unavailability of ACRs.

Before any DPC meeting, action will not be taken merely on the basis of a show-cause notice sealed in an envelope, enabling more officials to receive promotions. The rules ensure that posts available on a particular day are filled based on merit and representation of reserved categories. Approximately 2 lakh new posts will be created, leading to enhanced administrative efficiency and effectiveness.
