As the Railways are aware, with the announcement of New Catering Policy-2010, all the catering activities are to be taken over by the Railways. In order to revive departmental catering activities as envisaged in the said policy, the matter has accordingly been considered carefully by the Board in consultation with both the Federations and it has been decided to adopt the following procedure to streamline the cadre being revived.

Creation of cadre and posts- (i) At the time of formation of IRCTC, approximately 5269 staff alongwith their posts (1284 Group and 3985 Group now placed in Group `C') were transferred to IRCTC in terms of Board's letter of even number dated 31.03.2003,.

The details as obtained from Railways are given in Annexure 'A'. These figures are provisional and Railways have to restore the posts which were actually surrendered. As a first step, these 5269 posts break-up as indicated against each Railway may be revived in the catering department. Restoration of posts as on 31.03.2003 will not require any money value from the vacancy bank because as per the instructions the surrendered money value was not to be credited to vacancy bank. In case any Railway has credited the amount in vacancy bank the same should be taken back for the restoration of the post.

(ii) Additional posts required, commensurate to present workload, beyond the sanctioned strength as on 31.03.2003, normal procedure of creation of posts may be followed in consultation with their Associate Finance.

(c) Original catering staff (who were on deemed deputation) who have returned from IRCTC and have already been redeployed in other departments and (d) Staff who are on deemed deputation to IRCTC and awaiting repatriation

(ii) In order to take the advantage of their past experience, option may be called for from the original catering staff who, at the time of formation of IRCTC, opted to remain in the Railways and have been redeployed in other departments after being declared surplus .
