The post of Private Secretary is constituted as category 4 under Class XII of the Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu General Service.  The said post is filled up by preparing a panel from the category of Personal Assistants who possess the qualification prescribed in the said Special Rules.

 2. The Tamil Nadu Fifty Pay  Commission has recommended that the posts of Private Secretaries attached to Chief Secretary level Officers serving at Secretariat may be upgraded to those of Under Secretaries to Government, in the scale of pay applicable to the Under Secretary to Government.  Accordingly, in the G.O. first read above (G.O.Ms.No.216, P&AR (Per-H) dated 17.6.91), 3 posts of Private Secretaries in the grade of Section Officer held by the three senior-most Private Secretaries were upgraded to those of Under Secretaries to Government.

 3.The Government have decided to upgrade the posts of Private Secretaries serving under Special Commissioner’s grade officers also, from the level of Section Officer, into that of Under Secretary to Government.  In the G.O. 2nd read above, another 5 posts of Private Secretaries in the grade of Section Officer have been upgraded to the level of Under Secretary to Government.  Since the upgraded post of Private Secretary (Under Secretary grade) is a promotion post from the ordinary grade Private Secretary, the upgraded post of Private Secretary shall be distinct category, with a different nomenclature.  The Government accordingly direct that the post of Private Secretary in the grade of Under Secretary be designated as “Senior Private Secretary”.  A separate set of adhoc rules, to regulate the service conditions of the incumbent of the post of Senior Private Secretary is proposed to be formulated.  On retention of the upgraded post of Senior Private Secretary permanently later on, this category will be manualised under Class XII of the General Service, as a distinct category.
