Sub: Promotion process reforms – Amendment to Para 219(l) of IREM, Vol-I, Reprint Edition, 2009.

Attention is invited to Para 219(l) of IREM, Vol-I regarding modification of selection panel.
It has been observed that there is no uniformity in the practice being followed by the Zonal Railways/ Pus so far as this provision is concerned.
With a view to bring about uniformity in the procedure adopted on the Railways and to avoid delays in the selection procedure, it has been decided as follows:-
“Where a selection panel has been approved by ADRM in the division, a proposal for modification of panel may be approved by DRM as the authority next higher than the one that approved the panel.”
“Where a selection panel has been approved by DRM in the Division/ HOD in the Zonal Headquarter, a proposal for modification of panel may be approved by CHOD/ PHOD as the authority next higher than the one that approved the panel.”
The above provisions may be inserted as a Note below the existing Para 219(l) as per ACS No.257 enclose herewith.
