RBE No. 63/2019: Promotion – Shunting Master – Onetime Dispensation
No.E(NG)I/2015/PM 1/11, dated 23.04.2019
Sub: Review of mode of promotion from “Selection” to “Non-selection” for the post of Shunting Master, Grade-I in GP Rs.4200 Level-6 and Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP 2400.
As the Railway administrations are aware in terms of instructions contained in Railway Board’s letter No.E(NG)I/2000/PM 2/4, dated 30.10.2001 (RBE No. 214/2001), the classification of posts in the category of Shunting Masters is as under:-
|
S.No. |
Category |
Classification |
|
1 |
Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP Rs.2400, Level-4 |
Selection |
|
2 |
Shunting Master, Grade-I in GP Rs.4200, Level-6 |
Non-Selection |
References have been received from Zonal Railways, expressing difficulty in filling up the post of Shunting Master, Grade-II by “selection” process due to educational qualification level and constraints in writing skill of the staff in the feeder categories. Both recognized Staff Federations (AIRF & NFIR) have raised this issue with the matter figuring in AIRF’s PNM agenda also in item nos.22/2015 and 57/2015.
The matter has been examined in consultation with the Traffic Directorate. To tide over this acute problem in most of the Railways, it has been decided that the vacancies in the posts of Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP Rs.2400, Level-4 may be filled up by Non-selection process as a onetime dispensation only. In the case of any ongoing selection to the post, Railways may decide at their level on continuing with the same or on adopting the “Non-selection” process as a onetime dispensation.
Please acknowledge receipt.
