Sub: Reservation in upgradation of pay structure of certain cadres - clarification
Ref: PCVII/2019/RSRP/3 dated 17.11.2022 & 01.12.2022

References are being received from Zonal Railways seeking clarifications on
letters referred above, whether Reservation is applicable in case of upgradation and
cadre restructuring. The matter has been thoroughly examined in view of the judgment
of Hon’ble Supreme Court in CA No.6934-6946 of 2005 in Union of India vs. Pushparani
& others on 29.07.2008 in similar matters and clarified as under:

Upgradation of posts (functional or otherwise) due to stagnation resulting in

cadre review:

1. In case of Mass Upgradation, where a grade of whole cadre is upgraded from
existing grade to higher grade and where all the incumbents are placed in higher
grade, without creation of new posts, reservation shall not be applicable.

2. However, in cases, where a portion of the sanctioned cadre strength is upgraded
to an existing higher grade in that category or a new higher grade, resulting in
increase in number of posts, then the reservation is to be applied to parted

strength in lower grade as well as upgraded strength.

3. Accordingly instructions issued regarding application of reservation as per
extant rules vide reference cited would hold good.

This disposes off references received from RCF/Kapurthala, South Western
Railway and Eastern Railway vide letter nos. 2022-E/RCF/SCT&OBC/RES/RB dt.
18.04.2023, SWR/P.135/1/Upgradation/Ch.S&WI dt. 13.04.2023 & E.839/ Upgradation/
