No.E(NG)-II/99/RR-1/81, dated 21.03.2000

SC No.24 to MC No.32

Sub: Recruitment to Group – ‘D’ posts – Clarification regarding shadow panels.

The matter regarding formation of shadow panels for recruitment to group ‘D’ post has been under consideration of the Board. It has now been decided that while no Shadow panel should be formed, the shortfall due to the candidates offered appointment not turning up or candidates not being able to join due to their medical unfitness, may be made good by Railway Recruitment Boards making available to the Railways the additional candidates to the extent of shortfall by going down below in the merit list subject to the following conditions:-

(i)    Number of persons finally supplied and engaged should not exceed the number of persons initially placed in the panel and supplied to the Railways;

(ii)    Railways should return to RRBs papers of the candidates who had not responded or joined against which only an equal number should be sent by the RRBs to the Railways. However, in cases where candidates are being considered for appointment in alternative categories because of their medical unfitness in terms of Board’s letter No.99/E(RRB)/25/12, dated 20.08.1999 (RBE No.211/1999), a suitable advice may be sent to RRB concerned;

(iii)   Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribes candidates failing in medical test/ failing to join, should be replaced by SC/ST candidates only.
