No.E(NG)I-2018/DP/25, dated 31.01.2019

Sub: Tenure of Deputation of Non-gazetted staff of Railway in Railway PSUs and Autonomous Bodies – clarification regarding.

1. Kindly refer to Board’s letter of even number dated 30.10.2018 vide which DOPT’s OM No.2/6/2018-Estt.(Pay-II), dated 18.05.2018 circulated under Board’s letter No.F(E)II/2018/Dep./I(1)/1, dated 26.06.2018 (RBE No. 97/2018) specifying that the initial deputation tenure for Non-gazetted railway servants would henceforth be five years and advising PSUs to provide for the same by suitable amendment of Recruitment Rules.
2. Queries have been raised from some PSUs as to how the deputation tenure of non-gazetted Railway servants who are already on deputation (on 3 year initial tenure) should be treated. It is clarified that, in all such cases where non-gazetted Railway servants were sent on deputation as per prevailing terms and conditions, proposals for extension of deputation, wherever considered required, beyond 3rd year/ 4th year, should continue to be sent to Railway Board for approval of competent authority.
