ANSWER
Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. (SHRI V. NARAYANASAMY)

(a): PESB makes its recommendation for the Board level posts in Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) in view of the performance of candidates interviewed with special regard to their qualities of managerial capability, leadership, broad vision, track record, available ACRs & the inputs given by the Secretary of the concerned Ministry in case of the selection of CMD for Schedule A CPSEs and Secretary/Additional Secretary in case of selection of CMDs for Schedule B, C & D CPSEs. In the selection of Directors, the inputs of the Secretary/Additional Secretary of the Ministry and the CMD concerned are taken into account. For such appointments, SC/ST candidates are treated on a par with general candidates. The details of category of an official recommended for a Board level functionary in PSUs, are not available in PESB because the application form does not contain such data.
