MASTER CIRCULAR Master Circular No. 30 Forwarding of Application for Posts Outside Railways. At present, the instructions relating to the procedure for forwarding of applications from serving Railway employees for posts outside the Railways are scattered in a number of office circulars/orders issued from time to time. The question of consolidation of these existing circulars/ orders into one Master Circular has been under the consideration of the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). They have now decided to issue a consolidated order on the subject of "forwarding of applications of Railway employees for posts outside the Railways" as below for the information and guidance of all concerned: 2. Forwarding of applications to Central Government Departments/Public Sector Undertakings/ Semi-Govt./ Autonomous bodies: 2.1 Railway employees whether permanent or temporary, may be given four opportunities in a year to apply for posts in Government Departments/ Public Sector Undertakings/Autonomous Bodies wholly or substantially financed and controlled by Central or State Government. However, the General Managers/Head of Departments may withhold applications if they feel that in the public interest, it is not possible to release the Railway servant concerned for a post outside the Railways. Note: Board's instructions contained in their letter No. E(NG)/57/RC1/ 56 dated 21.01.1961 regarding forwarding the applications of Railway employees trained at Railways expense, have been superseded with the issue of the instructions contained in their letters No. E(NG)II/77/AP/6 dated 09.02.1979; E(NG)II/79/AP/9 dated 03.07.1979; E(NG)II/78/AP/1 dated 27.02.1979; E(NG)I/84/AP/ 9 dated 11.04.1986 (RBE 62/86) etc.) 2.2 While it is not feasible to define "public interest" the authorities should interpret the term strictly and subject to the condition that forwarding of applications should be the rule rather than the exception and the decision should be taken at appropriate level. In taking the decision to withhold the application, the authority has to balance the interests of the State against the necessity of causing hardship to the individual. This discretion should be applied with utmost objectivity and not mechanically. White it is not feasible to lay down specific exhaustive guidelines for withholding of applications in public interest, some of them can be listed illustratively, as follows: a. The officer concerned is engaged on important time bound project and the work would be seriously distorted if he is relieved; b. The Railway servant is applying for a post which is equivalent in status and work. c. Railway servant is facing departmental proceedings/court prosecution/under suspension. 3. Candidates who after qualifying in the Combined Competitive Examination (IAS)/IFS etc) and the Combined Engineering Services Examinations held by the UPSC have accepted appointment in Group "A" (Class-I) Service on Railways should be permitted to appear in subsequent examination for IAS, IFS, etc. examinations to better their prospects, if they are otherwise eligible. They will not be required to refund the cost of training. This will not apply to Special Class Railway Apprentices recruited through the UPSC. [No. E(NG)/57/RC1/ 56 dated 21.01.1961; E(NG)II/77/AP/6 dated 09.02.1979] 4. In the case of non-gazetted employees who have received "induction training" (and not the training in an avocation) and who leave Railway service with proper prior permission of the competent authority before completing the minimum period of service in terms of the agreement/bond to join employment under the Central Government, a State Government a Public Enterprise wholly or partly owned by the Central Government or a State Government or an autonomous body wholly or substantially owned/financed/controlled by the Central Government or a State Government a fresh bond should be taken from such employees to ensur
