Selection: RBE No.71/2022 – Nomination of PHODs in DPC

No.E(GP)2001/2/32, dated 21.06.2022

Sub: Nomination of PHODs in the DPC constituted for Selection to Group ‘B’ Posts.

In terms of provisions content in Para 202.1 of IREM, Vol.I, the Selection Committee for promotion to Group ‘B’ posts should consists of 3 Heads of Department or Additional Heads of Department or as has been provided for in the relevant Recruitment Rules. In terms of the Recruitment Rules for promotion to Group ‘B’ posts, Group ‘B’ Departmental Promotion Committee are generally headed by the PHOD of the concerned Department. However, recently a few instances have come to light where PHOD of the concerned Department is not available for nomination as a Member of the DPC due to some compelling circumstances like his name being figuring in the “Agreed list” etc. Therefore, Board has now decided that in the eventuality of non-availability of PHOD of the concerned Department due to some compelling reasons, G.M. may appoint any other HAG/ SAG officer available in the said Department as a member of the DPC. However, in view of their unavailability also, the GM in consultation with the GM of the other Railway/ Production Unit may nominate PHOD of the concerned department for co-opting him as a Member of the DPC for promotion to Group ‘B’ posts.
