No.E(NG)II/2018/RR-I/13, 20.09.2018

Sub: Induction of Trackmen into other departments.

1. Para 179(XV) of IREM, Vol-I (Revised Edition – 1989) provides for induction/transfer of Trackman to Mechanical Engineering and Transportation (Power) Department, Traffic and Commercial Department and to the Works side of Engineering Department against 10% quota.
2. It is seen that the Railways have been experiencing difficulty in implementation of these instructions due to a reliever(s) not being readily available in the Engineering Department. This has been considered by the Board. In order to ensure viable implementation of these instructions, it has been decided that henceforth 10% of the proposed intake for recruitment in Level-1 (erstwhile Group-D) of all those departments where there is provision of induction of Trackman against 10% quota, will be clubbed to recruit equivalent number of Trackman in addition to the intake of Trackman decided for the Engineering Department.
3. Trackman in Engineering Department should be laterally transferred to those departments whose 10% vacancies have been clubbed and utilized for recruitment of Trackman. Other departments will be allowed to induce fresh personal for the residual 90% of vacancies and also to meet the requirement through fresh personal to the extent of deficiency not met through lateral transfer.
4. Terms and conditions of transfer of Trackman to the above departments against this 10% quota as contained in para 179(XV) of IREM, Vol-I (Revised Edition – 1989) remain unaltered with reduced age limit of 38 years [reduced vide Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-99/CFP/23(Vol.II), dated 14.11.2013 (RBE No. 121/2013)].
5. Applications for lateral transfer of Trackman to other departments should be called for department wise and applicants shortlisted on the basis of seniority based on the length of service. Separate applications should be submitted for each such notification. The complete list of applicants should be displayed and also placed on the web page of the division. It is reiterated that for transfer to other departments, a Trackman/ Gangmen should be suitable in all respects including possessing physical standards prescribed for recruitment to the department/ workshop.
