Outsourcing Policy
The fundamental principles applicable to all Ministries/Departments
regarding engagement of consultants and outsourcing of services are
provided in General Financial Rules, 2005. As per GFR, 2005, the
Ministries/Departments may hire external professionals, consultancy
firms or consultants for a specific job which is well defined in terms
of content and time frame for its completion or outsource certain
services in the interest of economy and efficiency.
The vacant posts of permanent employees in the Central Government are to
be filled up as per the provisions of the Recruitment Rules.
The term of the existing contract to engage outsourced persons in the
Central Information Commission has already expired. However, the
existing engagement of outsourced persons has been allowed to continue
for the smooth functioning of the Commission, till the fresh contract is
awarded. The Government has decided that fresh tender may be invited at
the earliest, following due procedure and the Government has not given
any directions to reduce the pay of the existing outsourced persons to
the minimum wages.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in Prime Minister’s office
Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri Ravindra
Kumar Pandey in the Lok Sabha today.
