In continuation of this Department letter No. PER (AP)-C-B(2)­

1/2013 dated the 8th July, 2013, I am directed to say that the matter regarding

liberalizing the policy of regularization of daily waged workers/contingent

paid workers in all the Departments had been engaging the attention of the

Government for sometime past. After consideration, the Government has now

decided that the daily waged/contingent paid workers in all the Departments

who have completed 7 (seven) years of continuous service (with a minimum

of 240 days in a calendar year except where specified otherwise for the tribal

areas) as on 31.3.2014 may be regularized only against vacant posts in the

respective departments. No new post(s) for this purpose will be created.

Completion of required years of service makes such daily wager/

contingent paid workers eligible for consideration to be regularized.
