Sir,
Sub:-Regulation of MA CPS in respect of serving Graduates Clerks selected through LDCE/GDCE.
The undersigned is directed to refer to NFIR’s letter No.IV/MACPS/09/Part.9 dated 07.07.2015 and to state that with the issue of Board’s cadre restructuring instructions dt. 18.06.1981, the provisions for filling up of vacancies in Sr.Clerks grade stands amended and as per the extant provisions 20% posts are to be filled by direct recruitment, 13 1/3% through LDCE from amongst in service graduate clerks in the lower grade and 66 2/3% by way of promotion on seniority basis. Evidently, in terms of existing provisions 13 1/3% quota is not direct recruitment quota but promotional quota to be filled through LDCE from amongst in service graduate clerks in lower grade and para174 (4) of IREM Vol.I 1989 Edition indicates that position. Thus, the appointment against 13 1/3 % quota from amongst Serving Graduate Clerks has to be treated as promotion in terms of point No.(ii) of Board’s letter dt. 12.09.2012 (RBE No.10012012) for the purpose of MACP Scheme.
Yours faithfully,
for Secretary/Railway Board.
