Antique white Bisque silver slate green cadet blue white azure Original MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 22 Absorption and Utilisation of Surplus Staff on the railways. Consequent on the change of traction and full or partial closure of steam loco sheds, marshalling yards, goods sheds and other redundant assets, Board have been issuing instructions from time to time about the absorption of staff rendered surplus on account of the above. They have now decided to issue a Master Circular consolidating the instructions issued so far, as below, for the information and guidance of all concerned. I. Identification of Surplus Posts: 2. The Railway Board desire that suitable advance planning should be done by the Railways to identify areas in which the staff are likely to be rendered surplus. For this purpose, a Cell should be carved out of the existing work Study Units on the Railways and the same entrusted with the specific task of carrying out studies with a view to locating surpluses. As soon as the posts are identified as surplus, a formal office order should be issued immediately surrendering such surplus posts. The incumbents against these posts should be re-deployed against other 'live' posts as far and as early as possible. i. The ban on filling of vacancies will not be attracted if they are utilised to absorb staff rendered surplus. ii. Surplus staff who have continuity of service should be allowed during the period of training pay and allowances as would be admissible to them in the post in which they are to be absorbed after training. iii. The surplus steam staff may also be given conversion training in Diesel / Electric Traction without insisting in any Educational Qualification and age restriction, but subject to the following conditions: - a. The Surplus Steam Staff selected for the conversion training should be screened properly to ensure that they have basic intelligence and literacy to absorb the conversion training. b. Illiterate or Semi-literate staff should first be given a special course (say for 3 months or so) to bring them to a minimum acceptance level of literacy. This opportunity need be given only once. c. The staff should give an undertaking before being nominated for conversion training that they may be transferred to other stations within the division. d. The concerned staff should not be given more than three chances to pass the conversion training. [No. E(G)66 EC 2/7 dated 23.11.1966, No. E(NG)II/81/RE 1/5 dated 15.01.1982, No. E(NG)II/84/RE 1/10 dated 09.04.1985 (RBE 101/1985), No. E(G)66 EC 2-7 dated 11.04.1967, No. E(NG)II-67/RE 1/47 dated 22.05.1968, No. E(NG)I/88/PM7/48(PNM) dated 15.03.1990 (RBE 48/1990)] 3. No new activity should be started at the location where staff are likely to be rendered surplus merely for accommodating them at the same place without the prior approval/ sanction of the Railway Board. Where special circumstance warrant the same, suitable proposals should be sent well in time to the Railway Board with the personal approval of the GM. The Railway Board expect that such cases are few and far between. In no case, Board's approval should be presumed. [No. E(NG)II/84/RE 1/10 dated 21.04.1989 (RBE 106/1989)] 4. The surrendered posts should be struck off from the relevant cadre registers, scale check registers and other records based on the formal orders issued. [No. E(NG)II/81/RE 1/5 dated 15.01.1982, No. E(NG)II/84/RE 1/10 dated 21.04.1989 (RBE 106/1989)] 5. Normally, the junior-most of the employees should be rendered surplus, irrespective of the manner in which they had been recruited/entered to the post/Grade. However, where staff give their willingness to go on bottom seniority in recruitment grades to other deptts., such volunteers should be given preference depending upon the availability of vacancies in the other cadre and their suitability, including medical fitness.
