Sub: Upper age limit for appearing Departmental selection for the post of Publicity Inspector in GP Rs.4200/Level-5.
Ref: i) Board’s letter of even number dated 14.11.2022 (RBE No. 151/2022)

Attention is invited to Board’s letter of even number dated 14.11.2022 (RBE No. 151/2022), wherein mentioning instructions issued vide RBE No. 89/1989, it had been clarified that Level-I employees (erstwhile Group ‘D’), who are now classified as Group ‘C, are also eligible for the selection to the post of Publicity Inspector in Level-5.
One of the Zonal Railways has raised doubt as to whether the upper age limit along with relaxation for SC/ST employees as indicated vide RBE No. 131/97 still holds good or otherwise. The matter has been examined, and it is clarified that upper age limit of eligible employees for selection to the post of Publicity Inspector in tevel-5 is 40 years which is relaxable by 5 years in the case of SC/ST employees as provided in RBE No. 131/97, which still holds good.
This disposes off Eastern Railway’s letter No. E.839/T-HQ/CPRO/promotion/NM/Pt.II dt.04.05.2023.
