(iii) The existing rules and orders in regard to reservation for SC/ST will continue to apply while filling up additional vacancies in the higher grades arising as a result of restructuring orders contained in Ministry’s letter No.PC-IV-86/Imp/30, dated 18.06.1987 (RBE No.158/1987).

(vi) While pinpointing of posts in grade Rs.1640-2900 and Rs.2000-3200 is left to the local Administrations with a view to allowing them flexibility in this regard, as far as possible routine nature of responsibility may be assigned to incumbents in the lower grade.
(vii) Creation of posts in future wherever sanctioned as per the extant procedure, will be in the lower grade and distribution of posts in the prescribed ratio in these two grades will be done on the basis of half yearly reviews to be undertaken by the Railway Administrations etc.
