MEANING OF PROMOTION
Meaning of promotion can be understood from two angles. For the Government, promotion is a system of indirect recruitment i.e., filling up the higher posts by selecting able and competent persons from those, who are already in the service. For the government servant, promotion is an advancement from a lower post, class or service to a higher post, class or service involving higher duties, responsibilities and authority. It also means elevation in the status and increase in the salary for the employee. Mere increase in salary is not promotion. Going up or advancement in rank, status, duties, power, responsibilities and also increase in salary is referred as promotion in .the civil service.
Promotion changes the rank, status, designation and salary of an employee. When a Junior Assistant becomes a Senior Assistant, a Deputy Secretary becomes a Secretary, a Class I1 servant becomes a Class I servant than it is called as promotion. Promotion may mean change in the grade, i.e., from a lower grade to a higher grade in the same class. Promotion may be from lower class to higher class i.e., from Class I1 to Class I. Promotion may also be from one service to another higher service i.e., from State Services to All India Services. It is thus clear that promotion may be from lower class to higher class, lower service to higher service.
It should be remembered that transfer from one post to another post of the same status or responsibility is not promotion. Similarly annual increment i.e. annual increase in the same salary scale is also not promotion. Promotion means change of status as well as pay-scale.
TYPES OF PROMOTION
There are three types or categories of promotion:
1) Promotion from a lower grade to a higher grade in the same class, (i.e. from a Junior Assistant to a Senior Assistant or from a Junior Typist to a Senior Typist or Assistant Superintendent to Superintendent).
2) Promotion from a lower class to a higher claps (i.e. from Class I to Class 11, from clerical class to executive class).
3) Promotion from a lower service to a higher service (i.e. from State Service to All India Services, etc.).
