Bank of Surplus Posts

Bank of Surplus Posts 

To keep a proper accountal of surplus posts and their utilisation, the Railway Board have decided that a Bank of surplus posts should be maintained by each Railway as under: - 

(a). The bank of surplus posts will be operative from 01.04.1987 and earlier bank net credit may be added as an opening balance of the new account as on mat date; 

(b). All posts (excluding posts which were/are created for specific short term purpose e.g. those created for summer rush) identified as surplus and surrendered on or after 01.04.1987 will be credited to this Bank; 

(c). Matching surrender already reckoned for creation of posts after 01.04.1987 (including opening balance from the previous balance) and surrenders to be made in future, will be debited to the balance in the bank; 

(d). The account in this bank will be maintained department-wise and grade-wise, though for matching surrender posts can be drawn from this bank irrespective of the department to which they pertain; and 

(e). The accountal of the bank will be maintained by the CPO (as per practice on the individual Railway) under the overall supervision of the Addl. G.M. (Exp. Control). 

Note: In every proposal for the creation of posts, the CPO will indicate the availability of surplus posts in the Bank.
