“In this connection, it is to be clarified that certain documents viz. obtaining vigilance clearance, APARs  of  the  candidate  may  take some time due to administrative formalities . In such  scenario,  the ports  need  to forward   the application of  the officer with the approval of the competent authority (i.e. through proper channel)  to  the port which has issued advertisement before due date of submission of application.    Such    applications     through    proper    channel     (even

 

though without APARs, Vigilance etc.) will be taken into consideration by the Ministry for appointment to HOD level posts. However, for consideration of candidature of the candidate by the Selection Committee, the Ports are required to forward the remaining documents without unnecessary delay.

At various instances, the Ports forward  the applications  of  the candidates in the last hours. Thus, it becomes  impossible for  the applications to reach the Port  that issued advertisement before  due date of submission.  In such cases, the ports are required to forward his/ her application (through proper  channel  i.e. forwarding of  the Port  alongwith printout  of  OAP application) via email  so that the candidature  of  the  candidate  could  be  considered  for the post . Subsequently,  the complete application  of  the candidate alongwith other documents may be forwarded  by the Port by registered Post to the Port  that issued advertisement.”
