Creation of Posts: RBE No.182/1985 – Running Staff

No.E(G)85 EC 2/10, dated 27.06.1985

Sub: Economy in Administration and non-plan expenditure – Creation of posts of running staff on the Railways.

1. Reference instructions contained under item (5) of para 2 of this Ministry’s letter No.E(G)82/EC 2-2, dated 12.07.1984.

2. A question has been raised whether the powers for creation of posts of running staff vest in the Railway Administrations, or such cases also should be referred to the Ministry of Railways.

3. The Ministry of Railways would like to point out, in this connection, that on the basis of the six monthly review referred to in item (5) para 2 of this Ministry’s letter dated 12.07.1984 cited above and depending upon the situation, there could be creation as well as surrender of posts of running staff. The Ministry, therefore, wish to clarify that Railway Administrations themselves can take action in terms of the provisions referred to above and such cases need not be referred to this Ministry. In other words, on the basis of six monthly review, posts of running staff can be created or surrendered, as the case may be, subject to observance of the stipulations in the said item, in their true spirit and the current ban restrictions would not be attracted.

4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.
