Master Circular No. 14 
Recruitment of Sports Persons under Sports Quota. 
Attention is invited to Board's letter No. E(NG)II/85/RR-3/7 
dated 08.03.1985 (RBE 73/1985) whereby the minimum service 
period in the existing grade, for out of turn promotion on sports 
account was reduced to 3 years. The currency of the orders, 
extended from time to time was last extended upto 31.03.1995 
vide letter of same number dated 6.12.1993 (RBE 176/1993). 
2. Board, after taking a review of the matter, have decided that 
the stipulation of 3 years' minimum service in the existing grade 
for being eligible for out of turn promotion to serving sports 
persons

instructions governing out of turn promotion will remain
