Creation of posts: RBE No.183/1985 – Maintenance of New Assets

No.E(G)82/EC2-(Lt.IV), dated 27.06.1985

Sub: Economy in administration and non-plan expenditure – Creation of posts on the Railways – Maintenance of new assets.

The question with regard to the additional man power requirements for maintenance operation of AC Equipments in AC II Tier self-generating coaches has been carefully considered by this Ministry and, in partial modification of the clarification contained in part (c) under item (1) of  para 2 of Board’s letter No.E(G)82/EC/2-2, dated 12.07.1984, it has now been decided that the staff requirements on introduction of AC Coaches either in replacement or otherwise be worked out judiciously by reducing the number of staff deployed in the First Class coaches so replaced. To this extent, the above rolling stocks may be treated as ‘new assets’ for the purpose of requirement of staff in terms of Board’s aforesaid letter, subject to compliance of other instructions as contained therein, and the general ban orders contained in Board’s letter No.E(G)84/EC/2-1, dated 15.03.1984, as extended modified from time to time. The current ban orders are applicable even to the new assets and so the Board’s approval is required for creation of any posts on this account.

This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railway.
