Maximum Extension in Joining for all SSC and UPSC Posts.

Maximum Extension in Joining for all SSC and UPSC Posts.

As per the latest circular by DOPT , the Maximum Extension in Joining for all SSC and UPSC Posts is at most 3 months for a normal entity.

However Given special permission ,  the extension can be further increased from 3 to 6 months.

So In total a candidate may avail a maximum extension of 9 months ( With Special Permission ) not more than that at any cost.

Post that Peroid , his employment will be made null and void.

 

Words from Official Circular ( Set of many pages , easily available by RTI ) : –

” The undersigned is directed to say that according to DP & T O.M.No. 9/23/71-Estt.(D) dated 6.6.78 an offer of appointment issued by different Ministries / Departments , should clearly indicate that the offer would lapse if the candidate did not join withiin the specified period which shall not exceed two or three months. If however, within the period stipulated, a request is received from candidates for extension of time, it may be considered by the Ministries/Departments and if they are satisfied, an extension for a limited period may be granted but the total period granted including the extension during which the offer of appointment will be kept open, should not exceed a period of nine months.”

 

Now how to take extension : –

 

You need to write letter in very simple language that u need extension no matter if u write in Hindi or English.

Remember 1 thing  – taking extension is ur right and it is as per law and DOPT guidelines . So feel free to take extension who want it.

  1. How long will the joining process take for excise inspectors? When is the right time to resign from my present job as I have to serve a three months notice period….also I have a rank under 200 in obc excise list…will I get Delhi zone??

    • @ Rohan … Chances are there that u might get Delhi. Joining will take at-least 6 – 8 months from now for excise inspectors.

      Right time for resignation for you is when the state allocation list comes from excise department.

      • Hi,
        Thanks for the crucial information. So if the joining is 6 months from now, the extension will be applicable from then right? I personally want to sit for CSS again as I’m 28 now and due to new guidelines I’ll get 2 more attempts. Just wondering if I get through CSS in 2016 can I just not join here and join CSS 2016? Or if I join how soon can I quit or is there a bond?

        • Anugrah …… Dont worry hero …… no bond for excise inspector and can never be …. remember no bond can never for any central Govt jobs except the Military / Paramilitary Forces as per supreme court guidelines.

          The bond only use to happens in bank / psu etc. because no one have ever complained for their their bond process in court.

          Never remember Never do the mistake of leaving the job of Excise . How come u know that u will get css 100% next year. Anything may happen.

          So act wisely and join excise and after that resign if u get css in next attempt.

      • Thanks for the reply…nd do they consider posting candidates according to their domicile….like Delhi people in Delhi and haryana janta in haryana zones??

  2. sir,
    i am working as PO in Syndicate bank and simultaneously preparing for ssc cgl 2016. sir my doubt is should i mention my current job when i will apply for CGL 2016 or not necessary to mention? if i mention it will i require NOC during interview in CGL if i get selected? also there is bong of 2 years . please guide me sir .. Thank you

  3. i heard that some candidates have filled case in CAT to extend the age limit for CGL to 30 years. what is your take on it? sir

    • Haha … who we are to think and comment on this …. However i don’t think they have any scope over this .

      Neither does this comes under the judiciary of CAT to make such administrative policies.

  4. Sir,
    I am working in a bank as P.O and desperately want to prepare for IAS, but I get very less time to study in this job. Therefore, I am thinking to take ssc cgl exam in 2016 so that if I pass this exam then I can get time to prepare for IAS. My question is that if I clear this exam then whether I can get extension of 9 months before joining in the name of IAS preparation. Kindly reply sir to my email id. I will be very very thankful to u.

    Regards,
    Abhishek kumar

    • 9 months extension toh mil jayegi koi issue nahi hai in the name of ias nahi milegi koi bimari ka bahana bnana padega ….

  5. Thank u very much sir for your quick reply. I just want to ask you a last question that which post is the best in ssc to continue IAS preparation.

  6. I WANT 1 MONTH EXTENSION IN JOINING AS TA IN TAMIL NADU CHENNAI . I HAVE SEEN THE LIST FROM THE WEBSITE BUT NOT RECEIVED THE JOINING LETTER YET . AS PER LIST MY JOINING DATE IS 4/1/2016 AND THEY HAVE WRITTEN
    ” IF THE CANDIDATE DO NOT JOIN ON OR BEFORE 04-01-2016 AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE FORMALITIES, THE APPOINTMENT ORDER ISSUED TO THE CANDIDATE SHOULD BE CANCELLED AND THE DOSSIERS OF THE CANDIDATES SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE OFFICE ALONG WITH THE COPY OF THE ORDER CANCELLING THE APPOINTMENT, SO THAT THE SUBSTITUTE CAN BE ASKED FOR FROM THE SSC”
    IN THAT CASE SHOULD I APPLY FOR THE EXTENSION. AND IF YES SHOULD I APPLY AFTER RECEIVING JOINING LETTER FROM THEM.
    KINDLY GUIDE ME WHAT TO DO AS I NEED ONE MONTH TIME.

      • Sir you have written easily extension mil jata hai per agar extension request consider nahi kari aur mera appointment cancel kar diya to mai kya karungi.

Sir i got joining letter for ldc in mea cpo in chennai i want to know if i give application for extension on the basis my father’ s health problems which is true and i am unable presently to join it before 20 jan i have to give the medical reports of my father ? I have the reports. and when the acceptance letter should also be given with it as mention in the offer letter? If i got extension then if i dont want to join is it possible or i have to join it necessarily plz reply soon as i have to give the application tomorrow as am from bihar and i dont have time as joining place is chennai and i have to get the extension as soon as possible do reply soon

    • koi issue nahi hai ….. u can take extension upto 3 months easily without any medical report …. this is your right …. write down dopt circular no for your reference that i mentioned on the website …. although u need not that because department will easily give you extension for 3 months …. you can increase your extension to further 3 months if needed and at max ( tough) to another 3 more months …… if you take extension , you can later leave the job .. u have no pressure to join … no one can force you …. although you must intimate them before 10-15 days of extension expiration period that you will not come …. dont panic ….. just relax and feel free to ask queries if have any other doubt

As I am preparing for upsc I want to extend my joining till am done with mains, i.e., till mid december. Kindly help as to how to proceed once I get the appointment letter. And what reason can I give for the extension. Plz reply.

    • as per dopt circular ….. extension can range upto 9 months ….. first 3 months are your basic rights no one can deny that … then apply for another 3 months woh bhi mil jayegi …. but jo last 3 months hai that depnds on department k woh de ya na de ……. tab aap join karke leave without pay le lena ……. best wishes ..

    • aur extension lene k liye apko ap[ne department k admin section main jake uske incharge ko written application deni padti hai …

      • Sir thanku so much for replying. Reasons kya dungi extensions ke liye. Kuch valid reasons btaye. 3-3 month karke lena padega extension? Kya bimari btana safe hoga

        • nahi first tme toh bol sakte ho k mera personal family issue hai ….. issue define karne ki jarurat nahi hai ….. agle 3 months k liye same ground pe extend ho jayega

  13. sir,
    my joining in BSF as Assistant Commandent is on 29th feb.
    I have to write state civil service exams in 2nd week of march.
    Then i need leave twice for
    1-physical test and
    2-personality test
    (both will be in around june,july.)

    kya bsf mei ye manage ho payega?
    (i heard that they dont give leave for state exam during training,as they consider state’s group A service as lower to centre’s group A service.)

    i will cite family medical issue and sibling’s marriage as reason,is that ok?

      How u knw u got ur extension…through email or letter and after how much time??
      plz tell me sir.

      • i didnt gave any support document. write a letter in which first u express your willingness to serve.and then very politely request them to grant extention. in my case i asked it on family grounds,i did,t write much about personal problems ( including medical ),but whatever i wrote was in very polite language. u may give detail s of ur problem. i think its upto them whether they ask for support docu or not. my friend in trichi zone were asked to provide med documents. make sure that ur letter reach them before deadline. they will send u a letter afterwards confirming ur extention and new date of joining. i got their reply much after the last date.

  18. Sir,

    I am 29. I wrote UPSC mains 2013-14 year but could not clear it. SSC is the only other exam in which i appeared kueki 28 k baad waise bhi nahi de pata. Unfortunately, i could get only non interview post (TA CBEC).

    Now i want to get max possible extension so that i can give one last try to upsc and also other better govt jobs (exams which i had ignored earlier to focus on upsc).

    i have gone thru ur previous posts but i still have a query regarding extension:

    1. Will i be asked to produce any documentary proof (at any stage) for taking extension on medical grounds. If yes, will certificate from “just any doctor” will suffice?

    2. which medical ground would be the “safest bahana”.

    Please help me out.
    Thanks
