MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 19 Confirmation of Non-gazetted Railway Servants. At present, the orders relating to confirmation are scattered in a number of office circulars/ orders issued from time to time. The question of consolidation of these existing orders/ circulars into one Master Circular has been under consideration of the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). They have now decided to issue consolidated orders on the subject as below for the information and guidance of all concerned. 2. A. General: i. Confirmation will be made only once in the service of a Railway servant which will be in the entry grade; ii. Confirmation is delinked from the availability of permanent posts in the grade. In other words, a Railway servant who has successfully completed the probation may be considered for confirmation; iii. A two years probation period should be introduced in all recruitment grades. Where initial training period is prescribed such as in the case of Apprentice PWIs, Traffic Apprentices etc, the probation period will start after a successful completion of the training. B. Confirmation in the Grade to which initially recruited: i. The appointee should satisfactorily complete the probation; ii. The existing procedure for considering a Railway servant as eligible for confirmation should continue to be followed; iii. A specific orders of confirmation will be issued when the case is cleared from all angles. C. On promotion: i. If the recruitment rules do not provided for any probation, a Railway servant promoted on regular basis after following the prescribed procedure will have all the benefit that a person confirmed in that grade would have; ii. Where probation is prescribed the appointing authority will on completion of the prescribed period of probation assess the work and conduct of the Railway servant himself and in case the Railway servant is found fit to hold the higher grade, he will pass an order declaring that the person concerned has successfully completed the probation. If the appointing authority considers that the work of the Railway servant has not been satisfactory or need to be watched for some more time, he may revert him to the post or grade from which was promoted or extend the period of probation as the case may be. Since there will be no confirmation on promotion before an official is declared to have completed the probation satisfactorily, a rigorous screening of his performance should be made and there should be no hesitation to revert a person to the post or grade from which he was promoted, if his work during probation has not been satisfactory. iii. In both the cases referred to above i.e. where recruitment rules do or do not provide for a probation period on promotion, the benefit of confirmation in a promotion grade will follow only after a period of 24 months has elapsed from the date of promotion on regular basis. 3. The revised procedure relating to confirmation will not apply to the cases of appointments made on ad-hoc basis i.e it is only the appointments made on regular basis, which will come within the purview of these instructions. 4. Sometimes Establishments are created for a specific objective for a limited period as in the case of Committees and Commissions to study or investigate a specific problem. Normally, posts in such Establishments are filled by deputation or on contract basis, which would not result in regular incumbency. Even in a few cases where regular appointments are made by framing the recruitment rules, appointments are made according to these rules; these instructions about confirmation would not apply. In other words, person appointed against the posts in purely temporary organisations is outside the purview of the revised procedure outlined in the circular. 5. These orders will not apply to ex-cadre/tenure posts/Casual Labourers and substitutes including Casual Labourer and Substitutes with temporary status. 6. These orders will appl
