2. A question has been raised by one of the Railways whether consequent upon revision of minimum educational qualification from matriculation to 12th (+2 stage) or its equivalent examination with not less than 50% marks in aggregate, 50% marks should not be insisted upon in case of SC/ST/Ex-serviceman employees for promotion to the above categories in PB-1 Rs.5200-20200 GP Rs.1900/ GP Rs.2000 against 16-2/3% promotion quota or otherwise.
3. The matter has been considered by the Board. It has been decided that, while the fresh selection against 16-2/3 % promotion quota may be conducted as per the clause of revised qualification in case of SC/ST/Ex-servicemen too, the existing staff eligible otherwise as on 17.12.2014 (date on which the educational qualification has been revised) with the pre-revised qualification i.e. Matriculation may also be considered to be eligible to the selection for promotion against the state quota irrespective of the fact whether they are Gen/OBC/SC/ST/Ex-serviceman as per the extant procedure.
