1.
On Initial
Recruitment:
Seniority of
candidates recruited through RRB/RRC is fixed based on the merit position obtained in the examination held at the end of the training
period.
Those who pass the
training exam in subsequent batches will rank juniors to those who pass the
training exam in earlier batches.
If candidates of
the same RRB panel are sent for training in different batches as per panel
position, their seniority after completion of training is fixed batch-wise.
If a candidate
higher up in the RRB panel is not sent for training in the appropriate batch
due to administrative reasons and sent for training in subsequent batch, he
will be assigned seniority based on the merit position obtained in the
examination held at the end of the training period.
If there is no initial training, the seniority is fixed based on the merit order of RRB/RRC examination. (Ex. Office Clerks)
2.
On promotion to
Selection posts:
Selection post
means, the vacancy in the post is filled by promoting a suitable employee from
the lower grade by conducting written test, viva-voce (if any) &
verification of records.
Non-selection post
means, the vacancy in the post is filled by promoting the senior most employee
in the lower grade only by verifying his service record.
The list showing
the names of selected employees for promotion to the selection post is called Selection Panel.
The list showing
the names of selected employees for promotion to the non-selection post is
called Select-list.
In the case of selection posts, seniority of promoted employees is fixed based on merit
position assigned to them in the panel after the selection. This is called panel position.
Employees of the
previous selection panel will be seniors to those of subsequent panels.
Employees who do not take promotion within the given time will rank juniors to those who take promotion earlier from the same panel and
subsequent panels.
3.
On promotion to
Non-selection posts:
In the case of non-selection posts, seniority of promoted employees is fixed based on the seniority position assigned to them in the lower grade.
Employees who do
not take promotion within the given time will rank juniors to those who take
promotion earlier from the same select list and subsequent select lists.
4.
Direct recruits Vs
Departmental Promotees:
If vacancies in
non-gazetted posts are to be filled both by promotions and by direct
recruitment through RRB, their seniority is fixed based on date of joining the working post without changing their inter-se-seniority
position of their respective groups.
In case candidates
of both the groups join on the same date, they will be given alternative positions
starting with promoters e.g. first promotees, second direct recruit, third promotee, forth direct recruit so on.
5.
Candidates of
equal merits:
When two or more
candidates have got the equal marks in the same selection/examination, their
seniority is determined by the date of birth i.e. the older will be the senior to the
younger.
6.
On Mutual Exchange
Transfer:
Transfer on mutual
exchange from one cadre, division or railway to another, both the employees
will retain their seniority at new place based on the length of service in the
grade or take the seniority of the employee with whom they have mutual
exchange, whichever is lower.
Example: Mr A of Hyd
division has taken mutual exchange transfer with Mr B of NED division. Mr A has
put in 10 years service in the present grade and Mr B 7 years. On joining the new place, Mr A will be given the seniority position of Mr B and Mr.B will be given seniority based on his 7 years service.
7.
Transfer on own
request:
On transfer from
one division / railway to another on own request, the transferred employee will
be placed in seniority list below the existing confirmed and officiating employees
in the relevant grade at new place of posting irrespective of his length of
service.
8.
Transfer on
Administrative Ground:
If an employee is
transferred from one seniority unit to another seniority unit on administrative
grounds, he will not lose his
seniority. He will be given
an appropriate position in new seniority unit based on the length of service
put in by him in the transferred grade.
9.
On absorption in
alternative post on Medical de-categorization:
Seniority of such
staff in an absorbed post will be fixed with reference to the length of service rendered by him in equivalent or corresponding grade or
higher grade.
10.
On imposition of
penalty of withholding of annual increment:
Employee will not lose his seniority.
11.
On imposition of
penalty of reduction of pay in the present grade:
Employee will not lose his seniority.
12.
On imposition of
penalty of reduction to lower grade for un-specified period or permanently:
Employee will lose his seniority in the grade from which he is reduced.
13.
On imposition of
penalty of reduction to lower grade for a specific period with loss of
seniority:
Employee will lose his seniority in the grade from which he is reduced to the
extent of the penalty period.
