New Systems of Recruitment in Railways
To reduce the time gap to fill up the vacancies in Railways, systems of ‘Online Applications’ and ‘Computer Based Tests’ (CBTs) in recruitment for Group ‘C’ and erstwhile Group ‘D’ posts, have been introduced through a series of pilot projects. Under this system, examination for 54 categories of Senior Section Engineers (SSEs) and Junior Engineers (JEs) have been conducted successfully in 2015. Based on the success of Computer Based Tests for SSEs and JEs, CBTs have also been conducted in three more subsequent examinations i.e. Special Recruitment Drive (SRD) for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) for Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) Under-Graduate Level, NTPC Graduate Level posts and another SRD for PWDs for erstwhile Group ‘D’ posts.
This Press Release is based on the information given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Rajen Gohain in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on 10.08.2016 (Wednesday).

categories- Lists of posts identified suitable for them.
Attention is invited to this Ministry’s letter number E(NG)II/2006/LG-5/4 dated7.03.2008, circulating therewith the department-wise lists of posts identified suitable for Physically Handicapped persons in Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ categories on the Railways. This list of posts was based on the list circulated by M/o Social Justice & Empowerment (MOSJ&E), vide their notification No. 16-25/99.NI.I dated 31.5.2001.
Superseding their list ibid, MOSJ&E have come out with another list in detail, videtheir notifications No. 16-70/2004-DDIII dated 18.1.2007, 15.3.2007 and 22.3.2007, to give effect to 3% reservation to the persons with disabilities.Accordingly, based on the above, department-wise posts suitable for persons with disabilities, is enclosed for information and strict compliance. This list is not exhaustive and Railway administrations are free to identify more posts (not included in the enclosed list) locally, so that more persons with disabilities can be provided employment opportunities on the Railways. The list is provisional, since this Ministry has approached MOSJ&E for requisite exemption of certain categories/posts, from the purview of identified categories. The final list shall, therefore, be issued after finalization/disposal of the matter by MOSJ&E. While undertaking recruitments, the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, may be scrupulously followed, i.e. posts should be reserved for disabled persons on the basis of computation done taking into account the total number of vacancies arising both in identified and unidentified posts. It would not suffice by merely mentioning that post (s) is/ are suitable for disabled persons. Clear break-up of vacancies among the various categories of disabilities, would also need to be indicated in the indents/notifications issued.

MACP on Promotional Hierarchy – Associations Demand for Withdrawal of SLP from Supreme Court
MACP on Promotional Hierarchy – Associations Demand for Withdrawal of SLP from Supreme Court
Mr. SK. Mann President, National Head Quarters Confederation of Defence Recognised Associations (CDRA) has written a letter to the Prime Minister of India, regarding MACP on Promotional Hierarchy.
MACP on Promotional Hierarchy – MACP Scheme on Grade pay basis instead of the promotional hierarchy as it was in ACPS, resulting into the great detriment and huge financial and terminal benefit loss to the employees.
Mr. SK. Mann President, National Head Quarters Confederation of Defence Recognised Associations (CDRA) has written a letter to the Prime Minister of India, regarding MACP on Promotional Hierarchy. here are the quotes :
1. With profound regards we on behalf of more than 50 recognized associations functioning in various directorates of MoD request your honour for redressal of our genuine and justified grievances with regard to the injustice about the financial up-gradation under MACP Scheme inflicted upon the weaker section of the subordinate employees by the Govt of India during 2009 quite wrongly and against all the canon of justice. During the regime of NDA Govt. heated by the then Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihar Vajpayee Ji an ACP Scheme to the employees of group B. C & D was granted in the form of two financial up-gradations in the promotional hierarchy after completion of 12 & 24 years service as a ‘safety net’ to deal with the problem of genuine stagnation due to inadequate promotional avenues. Alas! The above just and genuine scheme was ruthlessly distorted and destroyed during 2009 by the then UPA Govt by converting it into the MACP Scheme on Grade pay basis instead of the promotional hierarchy as it was in ACPS, resulting into the great detriment and huge financial and terminal benefit loss to the employees.
2. It is submitted with respect that the said scheme of MACPs was switched over from existing ACPS without having any consideration of anomalous consequences and awful repercussions in the matter of financial discriminations. With a view to further clarify the anomaly of this scheme it would be imperative to quote an example here that a Junior Engineer in MES who complete his 24 years service on 31-08-2008 shall be granted the 2rd up-gradation in pay scale of Executive Engineers i.e. in the PB-3 (15600-39100) + Grade Pay 6600/- in the erstwhile ACPs, where as the another Junior Engineers having completed the 30 years on 01-09-2008 is eligible for 3rd up-gradation in PB-2 (9300-34800) + Grade Pay 5400/- under the modified ACPs resulting in huge loss at least Rs. 20,000/- per month even after putting 6 years extra period of his services. Subsequently these anomalous and unjust projections were consequently brought into the notice of the authorities and persuaded vigorously but all in vain despite their admission about the said anomalies.
3. Finding no way out, the employees from different departments of Central Govt including MoD sought for the legal intervention by filing the petitions in the Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh, New Delhi, Guwahati, Calcutta and Ernakulum etc. Wherein all the judgments were in favour of the employees directing the respondents to grants the MACPs in promotional hierarchy. In the appeals filed by the Govt. in the Hon’ble High Courts the orders of the various CAT stands upheld Unfortunately, the Govt. further preferred to file the SLPs in the Hon’ble Supreme Court against the orders of the Hon’ble High Courts admittedly, the Hon’ble Supreme Court would take a considerable time to deliver its judgment on the said SLPs. Such delay to deliver the justice shall adversely affect a large chunk of the poor employees who are not in position to contest the case in Supreme Court owing to their financial constraints. In this context it is pertinent to mention here that the Hon’ble Supreme Court opined that in case of service matters where the High Courts and benches of CAT delivered the judgements in favour of the employees, no appeal in the Supreme Court by the Govt. is desirable.
4. We would also like to draw your kind attention to the fact that earlier the status of CAT remained equal to High Court and an employee had to contest his case at two stages only i.e. in CAT and then in Hon’ble Supreme Court but later on the channel contesting the case became CAT then High Court and then further Hon’ble Supreme Court. Therefore the opinion of Hon’ble Supreme Court that way is quite genuine.
5. In view of the above mentioned circumstances we pray before your esteemed authority to kindly be graciously pleased to direct the concerned department of Govt, of India for withdrawal of SLPs from the Hon’ble Supreme Court in order to provide the relief to the weaker sections of the society and to meet the ends of justice as a special case. We do hope that your kind action in the matter will certainly bring the good days for the subordinate employees of the Central Govt.
yours faithfully

Seventh pay commission to give more benefits to Group C and D employees
Seventh pay commission to give more benefits to Group C and D employees
New Delhi: Low-income employees are set for more pay bump after the Seventh Pay Commission recommendation to increase for those earning basic salary of up to Grade Pay Rs 4600 a month.
The move, which works out to be at least a 40 per cent pay rise, could benefit at least all non-gazetted employees, if the central government follow the recommendations.
An official with the Commission said that the Seventh Pay Commission is likely to recognize the non-gazetted employees with upgrading skills for increasing their productivity to hike maximum pay.
Seventh Pay Commission wants to focus on Low-pay employees to give them hike pay that they are the most vulnerable group and should continue to benefit from nation’s growth,” he said.
After making the recommendation, it is noted that the all non-gazetted employees who earn a basic monthly salary with grade pay Rs 46,00 and below, will get at around 40 per hike from next year, the official added
He said the aim is to encourage pay hike which will be sustainable, and will urge to central government to focus on helping workers to deepen their skills and to raise productivity.
“Real pay hikes should be in line with productivity growth over the long term,” the official said.
The official added that higher officers can be given hike pay taking into account their performance, prospects and sustainability.
Besides pay hikes, the Seventh Pay Commission is likely to recommend to hike medical benefits, House rent allowance, transport allowance and other allowances for central government employees.
The Seventh Pay Commission, headed by Justice A K Mathur, was appointed by the previous UPA government in February 2014 for 18 months. Its terms was extended in August 2015 by four months till December 31, 2015. The recommendations of the commission would be implemented from January 1, 2016.
The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and often these are adopted by states after some modifications.
As part of the exercise, the Commission holds discussions with various stakeholders, including organisations, federations, groups representing civil employees as well as Defence services.

No Interviews for Central Government Group D,C,B Category (Non-Gazetted) Posts
No Interviews for Central Government Group D,C,B Category (Non-Gazetted) Posts
Prime Minister Narendra Modi broad stroked a gamut of issues encompassing policy and administrative measures, and his forthcoming visit to the UK during which he would inaugurate BR Ambedkar House in London, but conspicuously skipped mention of Dadri and Faridabad incidents during his customary radio programme "Mann Ki Baat" today.
Modi said the Centre would launch Gold Monetisation Scheme, Sovereign Gold Bonds and gold coins of five gm and 10 gm denominations with Ashok Chakra inscribed on them on the eve of Diwali. He said the government would also do away with the system of interviews for appointments with group D, C and B category (non-gazetted) Central Government posts from January 1, next year.
Modi said gold-related schemes would give impetus to the country's economy, besides ensuring subscribers with assured dividends on their gold assets.
"In our country gold has, in a way, become part of social life. Gold is considered to be a medium of economic security. Gold is considered to be the key during critical times…I do not think anyone can reduce attachment towards gold. But it does not behove to store gold as dead-money in today's times. Gold can become powerful…," Modi said. Under the scheme, banks will give monetary interest on the market value of gold deposited with it.
Interviews for recruitment at lower levels in governments, he said, were a source of corruption. "The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D, C and B non-gazetted posts in Centre. It will come into effect from January 1, 2016," Modi said.
Announcement kicks up row
Narendra Modi's no-interview announcement drew accusations of violation of the model code for elections and attempts at putting an end to the reservation policy. Bihar's anti-BJP grand alliance alleged that Modi's announcement would also lead to "effective implementation" of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call for a review of quotas. — PTI
