Does one have to cool off between 2 Central Deputations for applying to the post of CVO?
Ans: Since the posts of CVOs are treated as Central Staffing Scheme posts, therefore a cooling off of 3 years between 2 Central Deputations is required. Therefore only such officers should be sponsored by the Parent Department who have completed the cooling off in their parent cadres. There is a partial cooling off relaxation for non-metros (see Q.15).
