Sub: Restructuring of certain Group ‘C’ cadres- matching savings.

As per instructions contained in para 12 to 12.2 of Board’s letter of even no. dated 08-10-
2013 (RBE No. 102/2013), for implementation of cadre restructuring of Group ‘C’ staff, the
matching savings by surrender of posts should be effected from the category itself. Wherever it is
not possible to do so from the category itself, the matching savings should be arranged from the
department at the divisional/zonal level. If the Department/Railways are not able to provide the
matching savings, the particular category/department will not be restructured.

. ra ,It has been brought to the notice of Board that there is currently shortage of Booking
Clerks & Ticket Checking Staff and given the increase in passenger traffic & the introduction of new
trains, Zonal Railways are finding it difficult to smoothly conduct the commercial activities of sale
of tickets & ticket checking. While shortage of Commercial staff varies from zone to zone, it is
particularly acute in a few zones. As such, it is viewed that since Booking Clerks & Ticket Checking
Staff are-being essentially revenue earning categories, any further reduction in strength of these
categories due to implementation of cadre restructuring especially in the zones already facing
acute shortage, would not be desirable as it may lead to closure of counters or leaving coaches
unmanned, thereby resulting in leakage of revenue.

६: लि The requirement of matching savings by surrender of posts is a mandatory pre-condition
for cadre restructuring. Therefore, keeping in view the non-feasibility of further surrender of posts
for cadre restructuring from the above mentioned two categories of Commercial Department in
certain zones due to existing shortage of staff in these categories, it has been decided by Ministry
of Railways (Railway Board) that after working out the financial implications for Booking Clerks &
Ticket Checking Staff of Commercial Department as per instructions contained in para 12 of
Board’s letter of even no. dated 08-10-2013 (RBE No. 102/2013), the General Managers may also
consider the possibility of surrender of posts against matching savings from the alternate cadres at
the Divisional/Zonal level, wherever absolutely must. In very rare & exceptional circumstances
as a last resort, the option of using matching savings from vacancy bank may be considered as per
laid down nofms. However, there would be no «revision of percentage distribution of posts
without matching savings

Commercial Department, matching savings by surrender of posts for all other categories
mentioned in the Annexure ‘A’ to ‘H’ of Board’s letter dated 08-10-2013 (RBE No. 102/2103),

should continue to be arranged as per instructions laid down in para 12 to 12.2 of Board’s letter
ibid.

5. These instructions are in partial modifications of Board’s letter no. 2013/TG-II/12/ 16/Cadre
dated 31-01-2014.

6. This issues in consultation with the Commercial Directorate & with concurrence of the
Finance Directorate of this Ministry.
