Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does ‘temporary basis’ for appointment mean?

A: A temporary appointment means the services can be terminated at any time without prior notice or assigning a reason. It does not automatically grant the right to probation or reappointment. This is a common clause in initial government appointments, subject to successful completion of probation and verification processes.

Q2: What documents are required for joining duty?

A: As per the notification, you must carry your original certificates for verification, one set of photocopies of educational qualification certificates, a Physical Fitness Certificate, the executed Agreement Bond, and the Rs. 10,000/- security deposit receipt. If applicable, a Resignation Certificate from your previous employer is also mandatory.

Q3: What is the significance of the 2-year agreement bond?

A: The agreement bond mandates that the appointee serves the department for a minimum of two years post-training. If an individual leaves service or is discharged for misconduct within this period, they are typically liable to refund the salary and allowances received, including any training costs borne by the government. This ensures commitment to public service.

Q4: What happens if I fail to join by the stipulated date?

A: Failing to join by the deadline (January 31, 2026) without prior approval from the authorities may lead to the cancellation of your appointment order. It is crucial to adhere to the joining date or communicate promptly with the concerned department in case of unavoidable circumstances.

Q5: Will I receive a permanent appointment after this temporary one?

A: The notification explicitly states that this proceeding does not confer permanent appointment. Permanent status is usually granted after a successful probation period and satisfactory performance, subject to departmental rules and availability of permanent positions. The current appointment is provisional and temporary.

Q6: Where can I find the official rules mentioned (G.O.Ms.No.76, etc.)?

A: The official G.O.Ms.No.76 LAW (L,LA & J-Home-Courts-A) Department dt. 15.05.2019 and A.P. Judicial Ministerial Subordinate Service Rules are typically available on the official website of the Andhra Pradesh High Court or the state’s Law Department. You may need to search their archives for the specific document references.

Q7: What is the Contributory Pension Scheme?

A: The Contributory Pension Scheme (also known as NPS – National Pension System in many states) is a pension system where both the employee and the employer contribute a certain percentage of the employee’s salary towards a pension fund. This differs from the old defined-benefit pension scheme where the pension amount was fixed. The A.P. Revised Pension Rules, 1980, would govern the specifics in this case.

Q8: Can I download a copy of this order?

A: Yes, the notification states that the order is placed on the Official website of Kurnool District (districts.ecourts.gov.in/kurnool) and the downloaded copy is valid for relieving and joining duty.
