Creation of Posts: RBE No.24/2021 – Non-Gazetted Safety Posts

No.E(MPP)/2021/1/13, dated 25.03.2021

Sub: Creation of Non-Gazetted Safety Posts.

Ref:  GM/SCR letter No.SCR/P-HQ/39/HQrs Bank/Policy, dated 14.12.2020.

1. GM/SCR vide his letter addressed to the Chairman Railway Board has mentioned that proposals for creations of posts have been withheld on account of instructions issued by Ministry Finance and circulated vide Board’s letter No.2015-B-235, dated 10.09.2020. Further, the request for continuation of the earlier process of creation has been made.

2. The matter has been considered by Board and it has been decided that in view of Department of Expenditure (DoE) letter, creation of posts will require the approval of DoE. However, GMs may explore the possibilities of redistribution of posts at their end taking into account existing vacancies on the Railways, in terms of SOP 2018, wherein full powers have been delegated regarding “variation and redistribution of non-gazetted posts within the sanctioned strength of the grade” as well as “Transfer of posts and grades”. This interim arrangement for redistribution of posts may be made for a period of one year in consultation with PCPOs & PFAs, where after the posts would stand restored to the concerned department.

3. This disposes of GM/SCR’s proposal under reference and also all the proposals received from Railways/ PUs for creation of posts in Board office.

4. This issues with the approval of Board (CRB & MF).

Please acknowledge receipt.
