RBE No.12/1991: Master Circular No.20: Substitutes – Definition – Appointment – Benefits – Regularization – Break in Service
No.E(NG)II/90/SB/Master Circular, dated 29.01.1991
MC No. 20 (Substitutes)
Sub: Substitutes.
1. Instructions on the subject “Substitutes” are contained in Chapter-23(A)(ii) of IREM, 1968 and also in various letters and circulars issued from time to time from Railway Board. The question of issue of consolidated instructions has been engaging the attention of the Railway Board for quite some time. It has now been decided by them to issue a consolidated instructions in the form of a Master Circular on the subject “substitutes” as below for the information and guidance of all concerned.
2. Definition:
“Substitutes” refer to persons engaged in Indian Railway Establishments on regular scale of pay and allowances applicable to posts falling vacant because of absence on leave or otherwise of permanent or temporary Railway Servants and which cannot be kept vacant.
[No.E(NG)65/LR 1/1, dated 01.09.1965]
3. Circumstances under which “Substitutes” can be appointed:
Ordinarily, there should be no occasion to engage “Substitutes” having regard to the fact that practically in all categories of Railway Servants leave reserve has been provided for. Occasions may, however arise when owing to an abnormally high rate of absence, the leave reserve may become inadequate or ineffective, e.g., heavy sickness etc. or where leave reserves is available but is not possible to provide the same say, at wayside station. On such locations, it may become absolutely necessary to engage substitute even in vacancies of short duration as otherwise the Railway services may be adversely affected.
3.1 Substitutes should, as far as possible, be drawn from a panel of suitable candidate selected for Group ‘C’ (Class III) and Group ‘D’ (Class IV) posts and should be engaged up to the age of 28 years only, subject to observations made above, only in the following circumstances:
(i) Against regular vacancies of unskilled and other categories of Group ‘D’ (Class IV) staff requiring replacement for which arrangements cannot be made within the existing leave reserve.
(ii) Against a chain vacancy in the lower category of Group ‘D’ (Class IV) staff arising out of the incumbent in a higher Group ‘D’ (Class IV) category being on leave, where it is not possible to fill the post from within the existing leave reserve and when otherwise the Railway service will be affected.
(iii) Appointment of substitute school teachers on ad-hoc basis on the Railways should normally be avoided and where it becomes inescapable, it should be for short periods and that too with the personal and prior approval of the General Manager.
Adequate panel has to be maintained to fill regular vacancies of teachers and adequate waiting list for appointing substitute teachers there from so that the tail end of the panel can be treated as a waiting list for the purpose. Therefore, there should be no separate panel (waiting list) for substitute teachers. In cases where due to any compelling reasons of waiting list is not available or the wait listed candidates is not forthcoming and the post cannot be left unfilled till a regular in incumbent is available, the post may be temporarily manned by recruiting a substitute, who should be selected through a procedure of calling for applications locally and making a selection from out of these applications. Such an arrangement should not be extended beyond six months within which time a regular panel for appointing substitute teachers should be formed.
(iv) Substitutes in the lowest grade may be engaged to fill vacancies arising on account of the Railway Territorial Army Unit personal called up by the Army for training or for military duty in emergency of 30 days duration or more.
(v) Against vacancies in other circumstances specified by the Railway Board from time to time.
Note:
(1) The phrase “as far as possible” occurring at the beginning of this para is not intended to confer unfettered discretion to appoint substitutes from outside. Substitutes should be appointed only from the panel. However, in special circumstances persons not in panel may be appointed but this should be for a very short period and only in urgent cases.
(2) Persons proposed to be appointed as substitutes are to be clearly warned that their appointment is only as substitutes and services will be terminated immediately on return of the persons on leave or regular selected candidate becomes available.

5. Screening of the substitutes for their absorption in regular service:
5.1 Substitutes, who have acquired temporary status, should be screened by a Screening Committee and not by selection Boards, constituted for this purpose before being absorbed in regular Group ‘C’ (Class III) and Group ‘D’ (Class IV) posts.
Such a Screening Committee should consist of at least three members, one of whom should belong to the SC/ST Communities and other to minority communities.
[No.E(NG)II/83/RR-1/7, dated 01.06.1983]
5.1 A Screening/ empanelment of Casual Labour/ Substitutes for the purpose of absorption in regular employment be restricted to only those who are in the current casual labour/ substitutes Registers except such of them as are absent on two occasions when called for such screening. For this purpose the said ‘Register’ should be maintained in duplicate.
5.2 Though no roster is required to be maintained, still the intake of SC/ST while engaging substitute against each individual category in the various departments should not be below the prescribed percentage of reservation in favour of the two communities.
5.3 The Screening Committee should make good the shortfall, if any, by resorting to direct recruitment from the open market in each Group ‘D’ (Class IV) category before the panel in published. Ordinarily, the question of shortfall in non-technical categories should not rise.
5.4 So far as technical categories in Group ‘D’ (Class IV) are concerned, if there is any shortfall in the matter should be reported to the Railway Board with the detailed remarks giving reasons for shortfall and also the steps taken by the Railway Administration to make good the shortfall.
5.5 Screening of substitutes for absorption in regular employment may be made by Screening Committee with reference to the vacancies available at present and the vacancies likely to arise due to normal wastage up to the end of next one year and available for absorption of Casual Labour. The number to be called for screening will continue to the number assessed in the aforesaid manner plus 25% thereof. In other words, the number to be kept in the panel should be the number assessed, although 25% more are called to cater against the absentees in terms of Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/79/CL/2, dated 03.03.1982.
[No.E(NG)II/88/CL/18, dated 01.11.1988 (RBE No. 250/1988)]
5.6 As long as it is established from records that the substitutes have been enrolled within the age limit, relaxation at the time of actual absorption should be automatic.
5.7 In old cases where the age limit not observed, relaxation of age at the time of regular absorption should be considered sympathetically. CPOs/ DRMs are empowered to grant such relaxation in hard cases.
5.8 In the cases of vacancies in the Elec./Mech. and S&T Departments, substitute will be eligible for absorption in regular employment only if they have the minimum educational qualification of ITI or they are Course Completed Act Apprentices.
5.9 Subject to what is stated in para 5.8 Above and with exceptions like compassionate appointment, recruitment to Diesel/ Elec. Loco Sheds and workshop etc. all Group ‘D’ (Class IV) vacancies that may become available upto 30.12.1989 or till further instructions in the matter are issued, whichever is earlier, will be filled by the screening and empanelment of substitutes.
5.10 When called for screening, substitutes will be issued passes for their journeys and the period treated as duty.
5.11 Gaps which may occur in service of Substitutes between two engagements should be ignored for the purpose of temporary status on completion of four months service, and in case of Teachers, on completion of 3 months’ service.
[No.E(NG)II/82/SB/8, dated 06.01.1983 & 12.03.1983]
5.12 The practice of entrusting establishment work to the casual labour/ substitutes Khalasis in executive offices wherever exists, should be stopped forthwith and they should be utilized only on the work, they are meant for.

6. Date of appointment:
The date of appointment of a substitute to be recorded in the service book against the column “date of appointment” should be the date on which he/she attains temporary status after a continuous service of four months if the same is followed by his/her regular absorption. Otherwise, it should be the date on which he/she is regularly appointed/ absorbed.
This applies to substitute teachers also who attains the temporary status after a continuous service of three months only.
7. Break in Service:
The following cases of absence will not be considered as “break in service” for determining the four months continuous service for the purpose of absorption in regular employment:
(a) The periods of absence of a substitute who is under medical treatment with injury sustained on duty covered by the provisions of Workmen’s Compensation Act,
(b) Authorized absence not exceeding 20 days during the preceding six months.
Note:
(a) The term “authorized absence” for the purpose covers permission granted by the supervisory Official in-charge to be away from the work for the period specified.
(b) Un-authorized absence or stoppage of work will be treated as break in continuity of employment.
(c) Days of rest even under HOER or under the statutory enactments and the days on which the establishment employing the substitutes remains closed will not be counted against the limit of 20 days authorized absence, and
(d) Period involved in the journeys for joining the post on transfer from one station to another or within the same stations itself but not exceeding in any case, normal period of joining time permissible under the Rules.
(e) The recommendations of the Task Force on Vigilance regarding the observance of rules to avoid artificial breaks in service of Casual Labour/ substitute should be ensured and responsibility in the manner matter should be fixed on the concerned Senior Subordinate/ Officer.

8. Re-engagement of Substitutes:
8.1 Substitutes who have been discharged during the strike of 1974, and have not been re-employed will be re-engaged against future requirements in the order of priority on the basis of their total periods of service prior to their discharge.
8.2 When forming panels, substitutes in question should be allotted seniority by reckoning their previous spells of employment and on the basis of such cumulative aggregate service.
8.3 The substitutes who have not been engaged so far will also be considered based on the length of their employment prior to their discharge.
8.4 The substitutes in question will not be subject to any additional disability for the purpose of any limit on account of their break in service.
8.5 Substitutes who worked during the 1974 strike and are continuing as such should be given protection at the time of retrenchment. Those who were engaged after the strike was over would not be eligible for any special consideration.
8.6 In the case of retrenchment of substitutes the rule “last come first go” may not be applied but the reasons for same have to be recorded by the Railway.

9. Service Register:
9.1 In view of economy measures and ban on recruitment, no fresh face of substitutes should be engaged without the prior personal approval of the General Manager concerned.
9.2 It is not, however, the intention that the services of the existing substitutes should be dispensed with merely because of the Railway Board’s ban orders.
9.3 A register should be maintained for recording the name of all “Substitutes” whenever employed according to the Unit of recruitment, e.g., Divisions/ Workshops etc. strictly in the order of their up employment at the time of their initial engagement. The names of such of those Casual Labour/ Substitute who were discharged from employment at any time after January, 1981 on completion of work or for want of further productive work, can continue to be born on the Live Casual Labour Register.
[No.E(NG)II/78/CL/2, dated 25.04.1986 (RBE No.82/1986)]
9.4 If a substitute who was earlier discharged from service on completion of work or on return of the person against whose post he/she was engaged as substitute has not booked again in the preceding two complete calendar years, his/her name should be struck off the register.
9.5 If the substitute retrenched on completion of work or return of the person against whom post he/she was working does not accept subsequent offer made on availability of a vacancy, he/she loses the benefit of the previous spell of employment as such.
9.6 The register should be reviewed and updated annually. The register should be scrutinized by a senior Gazetted Officer preferably both at the beginning and closing of the year and also sign the register in token of scrutiny.
