who is a gazetted officer?

Question

An officer in Indian government service whose signature is required for attesting certificate copies & photograps of a person.

Answer 1

In India, Gazette is published on regular bases, it is a official Central Government Publication(nicked name Gazette). It publishes the promotions of of certain government official.

If a person's name is published in the Gazette, he/she is called Gazetted, in most cases they are honorary Justice of peace and have same standing as some of the Magistrates. This is why their signatures on certain document are recognised.

Arm forces of India have two category, Senior commissioned officers and Junior Commissioned officer.

I believe at one time both were published in the Gazette.

Senior commissioned officers have/had same standing as civilian gazetted officers. They are in the Gazette also.

Only Government officials are in the Gazette.

Principals are not in the Gazette in most part. Exception are the school or colleges run by the Government of India. I do not know of any at this time.

Principals are included by admitting colleges, to ease the burden of proof, to the students.

Answer 2

The Indian government officials are classified into Class C,D,B and A. The Class C and D consist of Upperdivision and lowerdivison clerks grade. Grade B and A belong to the class of officers whose transfer, appointment, promotion and supperannuation is published on an yearly basis in the official gazatte.These officials belong to the managerial class of the government services and belong to the policy formulation, policy implementation, personnel management and the like. Such officers, among other functions have also in their jurisdiction, the power to verify the documents for academic and other purposes.

Answer 3

The government of India brings out a list of people who it considers are a category matured enough to do a certain job (this is being followed from the british times) and that list is publishes in what the Govt calls a Gazzette. or a list
Any catagory of persons who are listed are Gezzetted.
The list generally has people for higher clerical jobs.

So Gezzetted officers are those whos jobs are listed in the Gazzette.

They are mostly graduates working in Govet departments and have passed some UPSC exams (Union public service commission) and are employed by the govt only,

first division clercks and above.
among thier powers and responsibilities, are the certifications and authentification of photo copies etc. Thats why we go to them for attesting our copies where they actually have to see an original of that and certify that the copy is the actual copy of the original as seen by them.
