            The undersigned is directed to say that Casual Laborers (Grant of Temporary Status & Regularization). Scheme of Government of India, 1993, circulated vide DOPT 0M No. 51016/2/90-Estt(C) dated 10.09.1993 stipulated conditions for grant of temporary status and regularization of services to the persons recruited on daily wage basis in the Central Government Offices as on 10.09.1993. It was held in the Mohan Pal Case SLP (Civil) No. 2224/2000 that the Scheme of 1-9-93 is not an ongoing Scheme and the temporary status can be conferred on the casual labourers under that Scheme only if they were in employment on the date of the commencement of the scheme and they should have rendered continuous service of at Least one year i.e. at least 240 days in a year or 206 days (in case of officcs having 5 days a week). The Scheme inter-alia provided for regularization of CL-TS against Group ‘D’ posts.

2. Following the acceptance of the recommendation of the 6 CPC, all Group D posts have been upgraded to Group C posts. Recruitment to erstwhile Group ‘D’ posts placed in Group ‘C’, PB-I, Grade Pay 1800/- (non-technical as MT Staff) is now made only through Staff Selection Commission and minimum educational qualification for appointment is Matriculation or ITI pass. Regularisation of CL-TS therefore cannot be done by the Ministries/ Departments on their own and requires relaxation of para-8 of the Appendix to the O,M. dated 10.09.1993.
