For upgrading the category of a Railway premise (i.e. from Group-II to Group-I or from Group-III to Group-II), CCMICOM may take a decision based on the recommendation of Sr.DCM/Sr.DOM of the concerned Division. However, for downgrading the category of a Railway premise (i.e. from Group I to Group II or from Group II to Group Ill), Zonal Railway will send such proposals to Board."
