No. 23047250 E.mail 1D-meena.1964@gov in 1/3024389/2023 No. 36035/38/2022 Estt. (Res-I) Government of India Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Department of Personnel & Training Establishment (Res) Section ********* North Block, New Delhi Dated, the 23rd February, 2023 OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject- Reservation in promotion to Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBDs).-reg. The undersigned is directed to refer to OM, dated 17.2.2023, received from Ministry of Railways seeking clarification on DoPT OM dated 17.5.2022 regarding reservation in pronmotion to Persons with Benchmark Disabilities. In this regard, it is submitted that in compliance of directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, this Department issued OM No. dated 17.05.2022 2 36012/1/2020-Estt.(Res.-II),. providing detailed instructions regarding reservation in promotion to Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBDs) in posts and services of Central Government. Para 13 of DoPT OM dated 17.5.2022, inter-alia, provides as under: "In the event of non availability of candidates even in the extended zone, the vacancy shall not be filled and be carried forward to the subsequent year.... Therefore, unfilled vacancies in case of promotion under the PwBD 3. category are to be carried forward in the succeeding recruitment year. But, PwBD reservation is horizontal in nature (Para 14 of OM dated 17.5.2022) and it cut across vertical reservation and persons selected/promoted against the quota for PwBDs have to be placed in the appropriate category viz. SC/ST/Unreserved, depending upon the category to which they belong in the roster meant for SCs or STs. It is clear that until the PwBDs, are selected for promotion, it would not be possible to identify whether they belong to SC or ST or wil they be treated as unreserved. It is obvious that in case of unfilled vacancies for PwBDs, it is not possible to identify beforehand that how many vacancies for SCs, STs or UR will be carried forward to the subsequent recruitment year. Section 34(2) of the RPwD Act, 2016 does not provide for any mechanism how the unfilled vacancies for PwBDs will be carried forward to the subsequent year. 4. As in the case of promotion, if the PwBD candidates are not 36035/38/2022-Estt. (Res.-II) 3024389/2023 available for promotion in a particular recruitment year, same number of vacancies reserved for PwBDs shall not be dispensed with and shall be added to the succeeding recruitment year, by way of carrying forward of reservation. 5. This issues with the approval of Additional Secretary (Estt.) Encls.: As above.
