Kerala government. Restore the old system to fill in vacation vacancy

The state government has withdrawn a five-year limit that promotes qualified juniors to fill government office vacancies caused by employee leave for more than three months.

The Finance Department said the latest decision will apply from May 16. Under the order of January 10, 1992, the government office could fill vacancy caused by the sale of more than three months. This is considered necessary for the unhindered operation of government offices.
However, during the pandemic dated 19, the eligible primary and vacant arrangements were frozen according to the recommendations of the Government Group, which recommended fiscal consolidation measures. An order for this effect was issued in November 2020.
In two different orders in September 2022 and June 2024, the government relaxed restrictions on employee vacancy on the brink of retirement, or when employees were on leave without allowances. However, the finding that these restrictions continue to affect the normal functioning of the office, prompting the government to restore older systems.
