In a landmark decision, the Madhya Pradesh government has paved the way for the long-awaited promotions of state government employees and officers. The State Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, approved the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Promotion Rules, 2025, effectively ending a nine-year stalemate on the issue of promotions.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, addressing the media after the Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday, announced that the resolution of pending promotions will lead to the creation of approximately two lakh vacancies. These vacant posts—arising due to promotions—will open up significant opportunities for fresh recruitment in the state, enhancing administrative capacity and public service delivery.

The newly approved rules ensure 20% reservation for Scheduled Tribes and 16% for Scheduled Castes in promotional appointments. Importantly, civil servants from SC/ST communities will also have the chance to earn promotions based on merit. The rules emphasize a balance between seniority and merit, especially for Class I officers, and introduce a merit-based approach for determining eligibility among senior public servants.

In a major administrative reform, the outdated “cruise” system has been abolished. The Promotion Committee has been empowered to assess the suitability of candidates, and for Class IV staff, promotion will be granted solely based on suitability, eliminating the need for a marking system.

The rules introduce provisions to ensure fairness in cases where confidential reports (CRs) are unavailable due to approved leave, training, or procedural delays. Partial service within a year will be counted as a full year, and promotions will not be withheld merely due to technical gaps in documentation like No Report Certificates (NRCs).

The Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) has been instructed to prepare selection and waiting lists to fill unexpected vacancies. Clear guidelines have also been issued to prevent the rejection of promotion cases based solely on show cause notices in unopened envelopes, enhancing transparency and fairness.

With these sweeping changes, the government anticipates the filling of all promotable posts on the same day, ensuring proper representation of qualified and reserved category officers. This move is expected to improve administrative efficiency and inject new dynamism into the state bureaucracy.
