2. The aforesaid scheme has been reviewed and it has now been decided to extend the scheme of engagement of Ex-servicemen on contract basis against the existing vacancies for a further period of one year beyond 01.10.2023 i.e. up to 30.09.2024 as per extant terms and conditions. Engagement should be made in the category of Gateman only. The Railway wise quota of such engagement shall be limited to 15,364 (fifteen thousand three sixty four only) numbers as indicated in the enclosed “Annexure”. Since the actual requirement at each railway is a dynamic figure dependent on the results of recruitment exercises, etc, the number of Gatemen indicated in “Annexure” should be treated as a ceiling and reviewed as per actual requirement and need.
3. It may be ensured that the engagement of Ex-servicemen as Gatemen on contract basis is mandatorily done through GeM only.
It is reiterated that the above engagements should be phased out gradually with the joinJng of regular employees. This should be closely monitored at zonal level.
