RBE No. 61/2015: Alternative appointments – Medically unfit – RPF/RPSF staff

No.E(NG)I-2015/RE-3/2, dated 12.06.2015

Sub: Absorption of medically unfit staff of RPF/RPSF in Alternative post – Regarding.

1. A question as to how the medically incapacitated staff of Railway Protection Force/ Railway Protection Special Force may be absorbed in alternative jobs in other departments of the Zonal Railways has been under consideration of Railway Board.
2. Attention in this connection is invited to Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-88/RE-3/2, dated 18.01.1989 (RBE No. 22/1989) which provide that medically unfit RPF/RPSF staff may be first considered for absorption in ministerial post in their own department. The Committee constituted for considering such alternative appointments shall include an officer of the Personnel Department. In case no suitable posts so accommodate them in RPF department are available, they may be considered for adoption in alternative posts in other departments of the Railways within the framework of the provisions contained in Chapter XII of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual, Vol-I, Revised Edition-1989, First Re-print Edition-2009. Similarly, when staff of other departments are medically de-categorized, they will also be considered for absorption against suitable post in their own department at the outset and in case no post are available therein then such staff will be considered against Ministerial post in the RPF department, if such post are available in that department.
3. The matter has been considered by the Board. It is reiterated that the above instructions/ procedure may be followed scrupulously in order to maintain the uniformity on all the Zonal Railways.
