For the past few years, Dept. is promoting it's officials in ad hoc basis. Only in the case of ACITs and ITOs (in some cases) the tenure of this ad hoc appointment is being extended but in all other cadres, nothing is being done either to extend the ad hoc tenure or regularization of promotion. This creates immense trouble in case of retirees, they are being denied of any retirement benefit out of this promotion. Surprisingly the service associations are quite reluctant in this matter. Only ITGOA sometime take up this issue only for promotee ACITs but not for the ITOs ! ITEF is totally silent in this issue. Recently CBDT has come up with the following O.M. which is self explanatory.
