RBE No.333/1985 Confidential Report – Reviewing Authority for NG Staff

No.E(NG)I-85-CR/5, dated 09.12.1985

Sub: Confidential Report of Non-gazetted Staff.

1.     Reference Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-82-CR-1, dated 20.03.1982 wherein it was laid down that Confidential Reports of staff in grade Rs.550-750 and above should be countersigned and accepted by the Additional DRMs instead of the Divisional Railway Managers.

Similarly Section II of the Confidential Reports of the staff in grades Rs.550-750 and above may also be reviewed by the Additional Divisional Railway Manager instead of the Divisional Railway Manager.

2.     These instructions have since been reviewed in the light of observations made by one of the Railways, that under these instructions, DRMs do not have any say in the performance appraisal of the staff in question.

After careful consideration, the Department of Railways have since been decided that in regard to the staff in grade Rs.700-900 and above the General Managers may lay down whether their Confidential Reports will be seen and countersigned by the DRM. General Managers may exercise discretion in this regard as warranted on their respective systems.
