No.E(NG)II/84/RG 3/8, dated 20.04.1985
Sub: Voluntary/ Mobile Booking Clerks on the Railways.
The question of absorption of Voluntary/ Mobile Booking Clerks in regular employment on Railways through screening by a Departmental Committee was discussed by the NFIR during the PNM meeting held with the Board on 23rd and 24thDecember, 1981.
After taking into account all aspects of the case, the Ministry of Railways had decided vide their letter No.E(NG)II/77 RC 1/80, dtd. 21.04.1982 that Voluntary/ Mobile Booking Clerks who had been engaged on the various railways on certain rates of honorarium per hour or per day might be considered by the Railways for absorption against regular vacancies provided they had the minimum qualifications required for direct recruits and had put in a minimum of three years of service as Voluntary/ Mobile Booking Clerks.
The screening for their absorption was to be done by Committee of officers including the Chairman or a Member of the Railway Recruitment Board concerned.
Representations have been received in this Ministry that the absorption in regular employment of Voluntary/Mobile Booking Clerks who were engaged as such prior to 14.08.1981 and who have since completed three years’ service should also be considered.
Accordingly, the matter has been examined and it has been decided that the Voluntary/Mobile Booking Clerk who were engaged prior to 14.08.1981 may also be considered for regular absorption against regular vacancies on the same terms and conditions as stipulated in Ministry’s letter No.E(NG)II/77/RC 1/80, dated 21.04.1982 except that to be eligible for screening candidate should inter alia be within the prescribed age limit after taking into account the total period of his engagement as Voluntary/Mobile Booking Clerks.
