RBE No. 02/2007: Selection – Loco Inspectors

No.E(P&A)II-2006/RS-21, dated 03.01.2007

Sub: Filling up of posts of Loco Inspectors.

1. One of the Zonal Railways has brought to the notice of the Board that the clarification contained in this office letter No.E(P&A)II-2005/RS-24, dated 01.12.2005 (RBE No. 206/2005) has led to a situation where medically de-categorized drivers have become eligible to be absorbed as the Loco Inspectors without undergoing the selection process prescribed for this post, whereas the medically fit drivers have to undergo the selection process.
2. The matter has been examined in detail by the Board and it is revealed that it is not in the administrative interest to absorb medically de-categorized drivers as the Loco Inspectors without their undergoing the prescribed selection process. The instructions contained in the letter dated 01.12.2005 (RBE No. 206/2005), ibid, are, therefore, withdrawn with immediate effect. It has also been decided that henceforth, drivers medically de-categorized up to the level ‘A-3’, shall have to undergo the selection process prescribed for the post of Loco Inspectors, as applicable to the medically fit drivers. In such cases, there would not be any necessity of going through the process of the screening committee applicable under the scheme of absorption in alternative employment of medically de-categorized staff. It has further been decided that selection process, if any, for the post of Loco Inspector in terms of the instructions contained in the letter dated 01.12.2005 (RBE No. 206/2005), ibid, would required to be conducted afresh in accordance with these revised instructions.
