Recruitment amendment: stenographer post reclassified, age eligibility broadened and transcription time extended under service rules. The amendment reclassifies the post from Stenographer Grade-III to Stenographer Grade-II, expands the prescribed age eligibility range, provides relaxation for Government servants up to a higher age in accordance with Central Government instructions, designates the Staff Selection Commission advertisement date as the crucial date for determining age limit, and increases the transcription time requirement for the selection process.
