SEZ staffing rules: consolidation establishes recruitment, deputation, re designation and cost recovery procedures for government and private zones. The consolidated instructions institute a unified staffing framework for Government and private SEZs effective 16 August 2010, prescribing sanctioned manpower structures, pay scales, post classifications and modes of appointment on a cost recovery basis; require Zonal Development Commissioners to assess needs and prepare panels for Deputy/Joint Development Commissioner posts; mandate deputation based appointments for key posts under DoPT terms with specified eligibility; provide re designation and temporary augmentation measures for ADCs; and set cost sharing and administrative procedures for posts serving multiple SEZs.
