Text of the circular

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)
No. E(GP)2022/2/20/PwBD New Delhi, dated: 21.06.2024

The General Managers,
All Indian Railways/ Production Units.

(Kind Attn.: PCPOs/PFAs/Dy. CPO(G)/ Dy. CAQ(G))

Sub.: Reservation to Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBDs) in promotion
from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ posts - clarification regarding.

Ref.: Board's letter no. E(GP)2022/2/20 dated 18.08.2022.

Attention is invited to Board's letter dated 18.08.2022 under reference whereby
instructions circulated vide DoP&T's O.M. No. 36012/01/2020-Estt. (Res.-Il) dated 17.05.2022
regarding grant of reservation to PwBDs in promotions were adopted mutatis mutandis for
promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ posts in Railways. In this regard, references have been
received from a few Zonal Railways seeking clarifications regarding carrying forward of
reservation due to non-availability of suitable PwBD candidates.

2. The matter has been examined in consultation with Reservation Directorate of Board's
office. Accordingly, it is clarified that keeping a vacancy unfilled on account of non-availability of
suitable PwBDs in the current selection is not in order as reservation for PwBDs being
horizontal in nature, there is no prior earmarking of community. Thus, the earmarked vacancies
of all categories (SC, ST and UR) are to be filled up irrespective of the fact whether PwBD
reservation is filled or not, and only the reservation for PwBDs is to be carried forward.

3. This also disposes South East Central Railway's ref. no. P-HQ/CON/452/Mech 70%/e-
68025/130 dated 19.03.2024 and Banaras Locomotive Works ref. no. BLW/GMP/RP
Cell/Corres to RB dated 01.04.2024.
