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trained at Railways expense, have been superseded with the issue of the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
