1. Vide Board’s letter of even number dated 25.03.2021 (RBE No.24/2021), GMs were advised to explore the possibilities of redistribution of posts at their end taking into account existing vacancies on the Railways, in terms of SOP 2018. This interim arrangement for redistribution of posts was made for a period of one year till 24.03.2022. Subsequently, vide Board’s letter of even number dated 14.01.2022 (RBE No.08/2022), this interim arrangement was extended for one more year beyond 24.03.2022.
2. In this regard, references have been received from a few Railways requesting for reconsidering the above instructions and removing restriction of time limit and also permitting redistribution across the grades.

The matter has accordingly been examined in Board’s office and it has been decided that Railway may explore the possibilities of redistribution of posts at their end taking into account existing vacancies on the Railways, in terms of SOP 2018, superseding the instructions issued vide reference above.
