NEW DELHI: Soon there will be lesser government jobs for aspirants in the country. The government is planning to scrap all such posts which have remained vacant for more than five years in a row. The Finance Ministry has sent out a memorandum in this regard and has asked all concerned ministries and departments to submit an action-taken report regarding abolition of posts which have been vacant for more than five years.

In response to the memorandum, while some departments and ministries have sent a report, some others have submitted the requisite information in a piecemeal manner instead of the required report said a PTI report.

The office memorandum which was issued on January 16, 2018, has asked financial advisors and joint secretaries (administration) to identify the posts in main ministry and their respective subordinate organisations which have been vacant for more than five years and submit a comprehensive report.
