No.E(NG)I-2022/CFP/3, dated 25.05.2022

Sub: Age relaxation to serving SC & ST categories employees in Level-1 (erstwhile Group ‘D’) for filling up 40% induction quota in Mechanical Workshops.

As the Railways are aware, in terms of extant rules/ instructions, 40% of the vacancies in Pay Level-1 (erstwhile Group ‘D’) in Mechanical Workshops should be filled from amongst volunteers from other departments who may like to come over to the workshop cadre on bottom seniority. The staff of other departments who are inducted in workshops should not be more than 33 years of age.

A proposal for relaxation of 5 years in upper age limit to SC/ST employees in Level-1 for induction inside the workshop against 40% quota was under consideration. Matter has been examined in consultation with concerned Directorates. Competent authority has decided that relaxation of 5 years in upper age to SC/ST serving employees may be granted for filling up the 40% induction quota in Workshops.
