The procedure followed in the decision making
process, including channels of supervision and accountability
:
The process of decision
making starts with a correspondence received which is put up
after completing the formal procedure of noting down the gist
/summary of the correspondence with suggestion if any, by the
Dealing Assistant. The file is routed through to all the
concerned starting from the Assistant to the highest Authority
i.e the Deputy Commissioner. Normally, the file starts its
journey from the lower position making its way to the highest in
the organizational hierarchy.
As a first
step, the Dealing Assistant puts up the file to the
Superintendent who puts it up to the concerned Branch Officer.
The Branch Officer then forwards it to his senior i.e SDO(S),
and then from him to the Additional D.C who then finally puts it
up to the Deputy Commissioner, whose decision is absolute and
final. In this process of passing on of file, all concerned are
expected to examine the matter carefully and give their
respective inputs and suggestions. This is to enable them to
work as a team and arrive at the best possible decision.
Furthermore, this procedure upholds transparency and
accountability and acts as a channel of supervision at every
stage of decision making.
