Sir,

I am directed to say that during the Annual Conference of chief Commissioners. (Customs and Central Excise) held on 17th July, 2013, some of the Chief Commissioners have raised a doubt whether they can 

make recruitment pending amendment in Recruitment Rules.

2. Department of Personnel and Training vide O.M. No.AB. 14017/79/2006-Estt. (RR) dated 06th September, 2007 has clarified that Recruitment Rules are statutory and they will not cease to operate unless

they are repealed or replaced. Hence, there is no bar for making recruitment on the basis of existing Recruitment Rules.

Yours faithfully,
