No.E(NG)-2012/PM1/15, dated 30.08.2013

Sub: Promotion of Railway Employees – Consideration of ACRs.

Ref: PNM/NFIR Item No.35/2012 – Promotion of Railway Employees – Consideration of ACRs.

1. With reference to above mentioned PNM item, the said matter has been carefully considered by this Ministry and it has been decided that in order to avoid any ambiguity on the issue, average marks of the last two ACRs be taken into account for the purpose of ACR for the third year, where minimum residency period for promotion to the next higher grade is two years and the ACR for the third year is not available, so that all eligible candidates having rendered minimum two years of service are not deprived of being considered for selection to the next higher grade on the ground of non-availability of ACR for the third year. 

2. Accordingly, the Indian Railway Establishment Manual, Vol-I, may be amended as in the Advance Correction Slip No.226 enclosed.
