RBE No. 41/2007: Promotion – JE-I (Signal)

No.E(NG)I-2007/PM8/1, dated 14.03.2007

Sub: Promotion of JE-I (Signal) pending completion of prescribed training.

1. The Staff Side in the form of DC-JCM have brought to the notice of this Ministry that even though found suitable for promotion, the employees working as JE-II (Signal) are not being promoted to JE-I (Signal) on the ground that the Administration has not been able to book them for undergoing the prescribed training course at IRISET, Secunderabad. While necessary instructions for conducting training courses to clear the backlog are being issued separately, the Board have decided that once a person has been found suitable for promotion as JE-I (Signal), his promotion should not be held up. However, since promotion on regular basis can take place only on passing the prescribed training, he may be promoted subject to the following conditions:-

(i) Promotion may be effected on ad-hoc basis pending completion of prescribed training;

(ii) Promotion will be treated as regular after they have passed the prescribed training course;

(iii) They would be reverted to the lower grade if they fail to pass the prescribed training course;

(iv) The above conditions should be clearly mentioned in the order of promoting the staff.

2. The ad-hoc promotions as above may be made up to 31.12.2007 or completion of training course, whichever is earlier.

3. However, Board desires that the Railways should do sufficient advance planning to nominate senior JE-II (Signal) likely to come up for promotion as JE-I (Signal) to the prescribed pre-promotional course strictly as per seniority so that a situation need not arise in future when an employee’s promotion has to be held up due to non-attendance of the prescribed pre-promotional course.
