Reservation is post based. Not on
vacancy bases.
Example for Post Based
Reservation:
Sanctioned posts = 100
Reservation for SC = 100 x 15% =
15
Reservation for ST = 100 x 7.5% =
7.5 ( ie 8 )
Reservation for OBC = 100 x 27%
= 27
Total reservation = 50 (15+8+27)
Un-reserved posts = 50
Available SC employees on roll =
10
Available ST employees on roll = 5
Available OBC employees on roll =
20
Available UR = 40
Total available on roll = 75
(10+5+20+40)
Vacancies = 25 (100-75)
SC requirement = 15 -10
= 5
ST requirement =
8- 5 = 3
OBC requirement = 27-20 = 7
UR requirement = 50
-40 = 10
Category wise requirement =
5+3+7+10 = 25
Note: Un-reserved vacancies means ‘
No reservation’ for these posts. They are filled on merit or on seniority.
Anybody ie SC / ST /OBC / UR who is in merit or in senior can be appointed
against unreserved vacancies.
20.
The total reservation for all
categories should not exceed 50% in each cadre. Cadre means grade/Level. For
example Jr Clerks, Sr Clerks, OS & Ch OS are four separate cadres for the
purpose of reservations in clerical cadres.
21.
In direct recruitment, the reserved
category candidates who are selected on the same standard as applied to General
Candidates will not be adjusted against reserved vacancies.
22.
Only when he/she avails the
relaxations in age limit, experience, qualification, permitted number of
chances etc will be adjusted against reserved vacancies.
23.
Separate rosters registers should
be maintained for DR, Promotion, LDCE and GDCE.
24.
Reservation rules are not
applicable to deputation.
25.
No reservation for single post
cadre. The vacancy should be filled by seniority or merit as the case may be.
26.
The unfilled posts of SC/ST/OBC should
not be de-reserved. ( i.e. should not be converted to UR)
27.
Such posts should be carried
forward to next recruitment year. The same rule applies to promotions also.
28.
However, posts can be exchanged
between SC and ST if the vacancy could be filled due to non-availability of
candidates of that particular community ( ie SC or ST) in the third recruitment
year.
29.
At any given point of time, the
rule of maximum 50% quota should be followed on the cadre as a whole and not on
the basis of individual recruitment where it may happen that all posts may fall
to the share of either SC or ST or OBC due to carry forward rule for unfilled
vacancies.
30.
The candidate appointed on
compassionate grounds should be shown against the appropriate roster point as
per his community i.e SC against SC, ST against ST, OBC against OBC and UR
against UR.
31.
The employees who are rendered
surplus and absorbed in alternative posts should be shown against the
appropriate roster point as per his community ie SC against SC, ST against ST,
and UR against UR. If there is no SC/ST point vacant, such surplus staff should
be booked against the UR point because we should keep the surplus staff waiting
for an alternative appointment for want of SC/ST vacancy.
32.
The candidates who are appointed
against Sports/Cultural/Scouts & Guides quota should not be shown against
SC/ST/OBC reservation points because their selection for appointment is purely
on merit in their respective fields.
33.
In PBR system if a vacancy arises
in the cadre due to Transfer/Promotion/Retirement/Death etc of SC/ST/OBC
employee, that vacancy should be filled only by SC/ST/OBC candidate/employee.
