Pay of the higher post is allowed for the performance of higher duties/responsibilities in higher grade, whereas, during the period of OSD post is created in original pay scale (in the instant case in B-19). In the case of the individual it is not understood as to what higher post was held by him during the period of OSD. In view of these facts no question of grant of pay of higher pay scale arises for the period of OSD. No.FD(R)III-55/95/2200. Dated Quetta, the 6th June, 1995. Subject :- DRAW OF PAY. If an officer is awaiting posting orders (i.e. he is an OSD) then for the draw of his pay the post of OSD is created or he is allowed to draw his pay against any vacant post. No.FD(R)VI-11/96/717.Dated Quetta, the 9th May, 1996. Subject :- RELEASE PAY DURING O.S.D. During the period of OSD the individual is allowed the pay/pay scale of his original post/cadre to which he belongs. No.FD(R-IV)2-1/96. Dated Quetta, the 29th September, 1996. Subject :- PAYMENT OF SALARY AGAINST THE VACANT POST. It has been brought to the notice of this Department by the Accountant General Balochistan that various departments are allowing / sanctioning the pay & allowances to the Officers on Special Duty (OSD) and those awaiting posting order in the Provincial Headquarter against the equivalent vacant post in other districts / district Quetta for the long period without performance of official duties by these officers. 2. This practice is against the financial rules. The subject matter has been examined by this department and it has been decided that the employees during the period of 4 being OSD or while awaiting posting orders may be allowed to draw their pay & allowances against any equivalent vacant posts under Provincial set-up. If no post is vacant case with full facts/justification for the creation of post of OSD for the specific period i.e. (3) months may be sent to the Finance Department. 3. Administrative Departments are requested to ensure to make the posting of officers/officials in time against the available vacancies and do not post officers as OSD or let them await their posting orders. No.FD(R-I)III-15/2004/1227-1327.Dated Quetta, the 9th July, 2004. Subject:- POLICY FOR CREATION OF LEAVE RESERVED POSTS OR PERMANENT POSTS OF OSD OR RESERVATION OF POSTS UNDER DEPUTATION, TRAINING AND LEAVE (DTL). In various departments, a substantial number of employees’ remains on deputation, training & leave and a specific quota as percentage of total sanctioned strength of a particular cadre is required to be earmarked for Deputation, Training and Leave (DTL). This is basically done to avoid non-filling of posts during DTL period of officers. Alternatively funds are also allocated for “Leave Salary” or “Leave Reserved Vacancies”. It has however been observed that Leave Reserved Posts and posts reserved under DTL are misused and calculated for making appointments on permanent basis while defeating the very purpose of allocation of such posts. 2. In order to regularize the matter, it has been decided that in future, Finance Department will not entertain requests of Administrative Departments with regard to creation of either Leave Reserved Posts or permanent posts of OSD or reservation of posts under DTL. Instead of this, funds according to the actual requirements of the department concerned will be allocated to cater for the needs of the departments for DTL. NO.FD(R-I)III-15/2007/576-725.
