At present it the orders relating to promotion of non-Gazetted (Group 'C') staff to 
selection posts are contained in Chapter-II-Section 'B' of IREM-I989 and also in a 
number of office circulars/orders issued from time to time. The question of 
consolidation of these existing orders/circulars has been under the consideration 
of the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). They have now decided to issue a 
consolidated order on the subject as below for the information and guidance of all 
concerned. 
  
2. Promotion: 
1. Promotion includes promotion from lower grade to higher grade, from one 
class to another class and from one group to another group.

(Para 211 (1) of IREM 1989) 
2. A Railway servant may be promoted to fill any post whether a "Selection" 
post or a "Non-selection" post only if he is considered fit to perform the 
duties attached to the post. The General Manager or the Head of 
Department or the Divisional Railway Manager may prescribe the passing of 
specified departmental or other tests as condition Precedent to a Railway 
servant being considered fit to hold specified posts. Such rules should be 
published for the information of the staff concerned. 
(Para 213 of IREM-I989) 
3. Unless specifically provided otherwise promotion shall be made without any 
regard for communal or racial consideration. 
  
3. Selection Posts: 
1. There will be only two categories of posts-" Selection Posts" and "Non-
selection posts". 
2. "Selection posts" are posts, grades or classes which have been notified as 
such with the approval of the Railway Board on the consideration that 
promotions to them are required to be made on the basis of positive act of 
selection made with the help of Selection Boards, as per procedure 
prescribed for this purpose, from amongst the staff eligible for selection. 
3. The selection for promotion to a selection post shall be made primarily on 
the basis of merit. 
(Paras 211 and 215 of 
IREM-1989, 
 E.48-RC1/18/3  dated 21.11.1953) 
  
4. Authorities competent to appoint Selection Boards: 
Selection Boards may be constituted under the orders of the General Manager or 
Head of the Department or other competent authority not lower than a Divisional 
Railway Manager. 
(Para 217(b) of IREM-1989) 
  
5. Selection Board: 
1. Selection Boards shall consist of not less than three officers; on of whom 
should be a Personal Officer and one of the members should be from a 
Department other than that for which the selection is held.

2. For selections to grade Rs. 1600-2660(RPS) and above, the selection board 
should consist of JA Grade Officers. However, the Personnel Officer may be 
in one grade below (i.e. in Senior Scale) but he shall nevertheless be an 
equal member of the Selection Board. 
3. In Divisions where JA Grade officers are not available in the concerned 
Department, JA Grade officers of any other Department (except for the 
Personnel Officer, who can be in Senior Scale) may be nominated as the 
Member of the Selection Board. The Senior Scale Officer in independent 
charge of the concerned Department, who will not be subordinate to any 
other Member of the Selection Board, may be nominated as a fourth Member
