SERVICES SAFEGUARDS
The policy with regard to reservation of posts and services under the State in terms of Article
16(4) of the Constitution of India continued for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
both in direct recruitment and promotions. Reservation for Socially and Educationally
Backward Classes was introduced with effect from 8-9-1993 as a part of implementation of the
Mandal Commission's recommendations. Efforts were intensified by the Government of India
to increase the representation of SC and ST in services under the Government of India, Public
Sector Enterprises and Nationalised / Public Sector Banks during the year under report by
launching a special drive to make good the shortfalls in various categories of posts through
recruitment and reserving vacancies to the maximum extent (50%) permissible under the
Supreme Court ruling on the matter.
On the attainment of Independence, instructions were issued on 21.9.47 providing for
reservation of 12.5% of vacancies for SCs in respect of recruitment made by open competition.
In case of recruitment otherwise than by open competition this percentage was fixed at
16.67%. After the Constitution was promulgated, MHA, in its Resolution of 13.9.50, provided
5 per cent reservation of STs apart from the percentage fixed for SCs already in force. The
1951 Census showed that the percentage of SCs in the total population was 15.05 per cent and
that of ST 6.31%. The percentages were not revised at that time as a comprehensive bill
revising the lists of SCs and STs was under consideration. The other reason for not revising the
percentage was that reservation had already been provided for SCs in posts filled otherwise
than by open competition to the extent of 16.66 per cent and instructions had also been issued
for following a regional and local percentage for Group C and Group D posts attracting
candidates from a locality or region. The 1961 Census revealed that the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes population in proportion to the Indian population stood at 14.64 per cent and
6.80 per cent respectively. Accordingly, the percentage of reservation for SCs and STs was
increased from 12.5% and 5% to 15 % and 7.5% respectively on 25.3.70. The 1971 Census did
not warrant any such review. The actual impact of 1981 Census figures on all India
percentages could not be known because the Census of 1981 could not be carried out in the
State of Assam. Same is true of 1991 Census as the Census of 1991 could not be held in the
State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Reservations have been extended to other modes of promotion in stages. In 1957, reservations
were provided for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in departmental competitive
examinations. Reservations in promotion by selection in Group C and Group D were provided
in 1963 and in the same year reservation in departmental competitive examination was limited
to Group C and D only. The position was slightly changed in 1968 when reservations in limited
departmental examination to Group B, C and D and promotion by selection to Group C and D
were subjected to a condition that element of direct recruitment should not exceed 50 per cent.
Reservation in promotion by seniority subject to fitness came in 1972 subject to the condition
that the element of direct recruitment does not exceed 50 per cent. In 1974, reservations in
promotion by selection from Group C to Group B, within Group B and from Group B to the
lowest rung of Group A were introduced provided the element of direct recruitment does not
exceed 50 per cent. The limitation of the direct recruitment not exceeding 50 per cent was
raised to 66.67% in 1976 and to 75% in 1989.
The Supreme Court had in the Indira Sawhney case permitted the reservation for the Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes in promotion to continue for a period of five years from 16.11.92.
Consequent to this judgment the Constitution was amended and Article 16(4A) was
incorporated. In pursuance of this Article, instructions have been issued on 13.8.97 to continue

E1-E2 CSS
the reservation in promotions for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the
Services/Posts under the Central Government beyond 15.11.97 till such time as the
representation of each of these categories in each cadre reaches the prescribed percentages.

PROCEDURAL AND MISCELLANEOUS SAFEGUARDS

1. Representation of SC/ST/OBC, Minorities and Women on Selection
Boards/Committees:
Instructions have been issued on 11.7.95 that wherever a Selection Committee/Board exists or
has to be constituted for making recruitment to ten of more vacancies in Group C or Group
D posts/services, it shall be mandatory to have one member belonging to SC/ST/OBC and
one member belonging to Minority Community in such Committees/Boards. Further one of the
Members of the Selection Committee/Board whether from the general category or from the
minority community or from SC/ST/OBC, should be a lady failing which a lady member
should be co-opted on the Committee/Board. It may also be ensured that where the number of
vacancies against which selection is to be made is less than ten, no effort should be spared in
finding a Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Other Backward Classes officer, a Minority
Community officer and a lady officer for inclusion in such Committees/Boards.
2.
Examination and interview boards

Whenever recruitment is made on the basis of competitive examinations, centres for such
examinations should be set up at all places where a sizable number of tribal candidates
appear at examination in addition to the usual centres of examinations.
Where selection is made by interview, the Recruitment Boards should be sent to places
where there is concentration of candidates belonging to Scheduled Tribes.
3.
Special training programmes
In pursuance of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committed on the Welfare of

Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the Ministries/Departments should draw up special
training programmes including in-service training programmes in which necessary training
could be provided to SC/ST candidates. The training progrmmes should be drawn up in such a
way that it should be possible for SC/ST candidates to derive the maximum advantage from
such training programmes. The Training division of the Department of Personnel and Training
will render technical assistance, if any, needed by the Ministries/Departments in drawing up
the training programmes and would also undertake periodical review of such training
programmes as and when required.
4.
Forwarding of applications for appointment elsewhere
Applications for employment elsewhere of temporary or permanent Central Government

servants belonging to SCs/STs should be readily forwarded except in very rare cases where
there may be compelling grounds of public interest for withholding such applications. The
withholding of applications should be an exception rather than a rule in the case of SC/ST
employees who should be afforded every facility for improving their prospects. In cases where
such applications are withheld and could not be forwarded due to compelling grounds of public
interest, they should be reported within a month to the Liaison Officer in the Administrative
Ministry/Department or in offices under the Head of Department.
5.
Selection of persons for posts abroad
BSNL India
E1-E2 CSS
Whenever a Ministry/Department, etc., makes selection of persons for posting in its units, etc.,

SCs/STs.
SC/ST employees are permitted to write to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes direct on matters relating to appointments against the reserved quota. It is
not necessary for them to seek prior permission of the concerned administrative
Ministries/Departments for sending their representations to the Commission.
9.
Reservation of Seats in Gram Panchayats

Article 243D of the constitution provide provision for the reservation of seats for SC
and ST in every Panchayat and the number of seats so reserved shall bear, as nearly as
may be, the same proportion to the total number of seats to be filled by direct election
in that Panchayat as the population of the Scheduled Castes in that Panchayat area.
The offices of the Chairpersons in the Panchayats at the village or any other level shall
be reserved for the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and women in such manner
as the Legislature of a State may, by law, provide.

Educational Safeguard
The importance of educational development of the weaker sections of the society was
recognized many decades ago by the Government of India and extended incentives and
concessions to these sections of society (now SCs and STs) vide the Government of
India Act, 1935. After independence and on the adoption of the Constitution,
safeguards were built into the administrative system through special provisions
incorporated in the Constitution.
The Articles which contain educational safeguards for SC & ST are 29(1), 46, 15(4),
and 350 A. Of these Articles 15(4) and 46 are more important in so far as educational
development is concerned. Article 46 included among the Directive Principles of State
Policy provides that the "State shall promote with special care the educational and
economic interests of the weaker sections of the people, and particularly of those
belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and shall protect them from
social injustice and from all forms of exploitation". This article did not give any power
to the Government to take or adopt any specific measure for educational development
of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Article 15 of the Constitution was,
therefore, amended through the Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1951 and Clause
4 added to it Article 15(4). This empowered the State to make special provisions for the
educational development of SC & ST and as a result the Government reserved seats for
SC & ST in educational institutions including technical and professional institutions
like medical and engineering colleges.
In response to the special obligation placed on the Government of India by Article
15(4) of the Constitution to make special provisions, the then Ministry of Education
(now Ministry of Human Resource Development) for the first time addressed letter on
23-11-1954 to the Chief Secretaries of all the State Governments suggesting that 20%
seats should be reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in educational
institutions with a provision of 5% relaxation in minimum qualifying marks for
admission wherever required. This was slightly modified in April, 1964, where a
distinct percentage of 15% for Scheduled Castes, and 5% for Scheduled Tribes was laid
down and was also made interchangeable. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
also came forward and separately issued letters to the Vice Chancellors of the
Universities having Medical Faculties to reserve 15% seats for Scheduled Castes and
5% for Scheduled Tribes with 5% relaxation in minimum qualifying marks for
admission to all post-graduate medical and Dental colleges.
The University Grants Commission had also issued guidelines to the Universities and
colleges under their respective control to ensure that the Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribe students were allowed due concession in the matter of admission in all
under graduate as well as post-graduate courses in the various streams. The percentage
of reservation for Scheduled Tribes was revised upwards from 5% to 7.5% in 1982. At
present the following percentage are allowed for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe
students in admission to the various undergraduate and post-graduate courses of
general; technical, medical and other professional education in the Universities and
colleges:
Scheduled Castes: 15%
Scheduled Tribes: 7.5%
Reservation for SC & ST is also available in the allotment of seats in general hostels.
In addition to the above safeguards for admission in educational institutions and
allotment of seats in general hostels, the Central and State Governments have initiated a
number of other measures like award of various types of scholarships / stipends /

opening of book banks for engineering and medical students, mid-day meals, books,
stationery and uniforms etc., (for primary school students) for development of
education among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Girls' hostels for SC & ST

This scheme was started in the Third Five Year Plan with the intention to enable SC /
ST girls students to pursue education at pre-matric and post-matric levels even at
places away from their homes which they otherwise would not have been able to do for
want of accommodation. This centrally sponsored scheme is implemented on 50:50
basis (100% in other UTs) for construction of hostel buildings, extension of existing
hostels for SC/ST girls studying in middle and higher levels of education. Central
assistance is also provided to the voluntary organizations Non-Govt. / Private
organizations only for the extension of hostels provided the organization is willing to
cover 10% of the total expenditure and remaining 90% in such cases is shareable
between the Central and State Government on 50:50 basis. In the capacity of 100
inmates, 10% of the seats are to be reserved for non-SC / ST students. The maintenance
of the hostels is the responsibility of the concerned States / UTs. They should have to
make adequate provisions in the budget. This would, also help in checking the high
drop-out rate among SC/ST women. This centrally sponsored scheme started in 198990 is implemented on the same pattern as that of girls hostels mentioned earlier.
National Overseas Scholarship For SC, ST And Other Students And Passage
Grants For Higher Studies Abroad
Scholarships under this scheme are provided to meritorious SC/ST, Denotified,
Nomadic and Semi-nomadic tribes, SC converts to other religion and the children of
landless Agricultural Labourers/Traditional Artisans for advanced degree and postdoctoral studies abroad. Passage grants are also provided to students who are in receipt
of a merit scholarship from a foreign Government or institution, in case such
scholarships does not include the costs of passage. 30 National overseas scholarships
and 9 passage grants are available each year.
Admissions Of SC/ST In Higher Education With Particular Reference To

Central Universities
It is a Constitutional obligation that the provisions of reservation for SC/ST as
embodied in the Constitution of India and the policy of the Government of India framed
in this regard from time to time for the up-liftment of these communities is followed in
the field of higher education also. With a view to meeting this requirement the UGC
which is an apex body had been bringing to the notice of the University Colleges and
the State Govts. the guidelines of the Government of India regarding reservation for
SC/ST in the matter of Universities and Colleges. The UGC was set up in 1956 by an
Act of Parliament for the promotion of University Education and determination and
maintenance of standards in teaching, examination and research. This was necessary
as the Constitution of India envisages that coordination of higher education is a central responsibility. The UGC functions as per provisions contained in its Act (UGC, Act
1956) and rules regulations framed as per the provisions in the Act.
In order to bring SC/ST to the main stream of life and see that they also get proper
representation in different courses of higher education being provided by the
Colleges/Universities including Central Universities UGC has been contributing
BSNL India
E1-E2 CSS
towards social equity and up-liftment of the underprivileged sections of society through
special schemes as well as specific provisions for these sections within regular
schemes.
Different percentage of reservations have been fixed for SC/ST in the Universities of
different States in accordance with the percentages of SC/ST population to the total
population of that state. The broad principal is that the reservation percentage for
SC/ST should not be less than their population percentage. In the case of Central
Universities, the percentage of reservation is 15% for SC and 7.5% for ST. It is implied
that all reserved seats according to the percentage of reservation fixed should be filled
up. There had been ample of guidelines issued by the UGC by following which it
would have been possible to fulfill reservation. However to put the matter on still
clearer and firmer basis the UGC issued revised guidelines for full implementation of
reservation in admission. These guidelines were issued by the Additional Secretary vide
his D. O. letter F-8-1093(SCT) dated 15th June, 1993 to fully cooperate and help in
bringing about complete success- in implementation of reservation policy in the
Universities. The revised guidelines are quite comprehensive and if implemented
properly, would go a long way in fulfilling the aspirations of the SC/ST to get higher
education in different streams.
In order to look at the actual representation of SC & ST students in different courses in
the Central Universities, efforts were made to collect information from the UGC. The
information pertains to six faculties i.e. Humanities and Social Sciences, Science
including Agricultural Sciences, Engineering Technology, Medical Sciences,
Professional Courses other than Medical and Engineering Technology and other
Courses for the year 1992-93. The information tabulated -and given at Table 1 gives a
very dismal picture of the representations of SC & ST students in the above mentioned
courses. Course wise breakup in respect of Jamia Milia Islamia and Banaras Hindu
University was not available and no information in respect of Indira Gandhi Open
University was made available to the UGC. Based on the information made available
by UGC it may be seen that representation of SCs in different courses ranged from
2.60% to 9.92% and in respect of STs it was 0.09% to 6.41%. Their representations are
nowhere close to 15% and 7.5% as prescribed in case of Central Universities. This is a
matter of serious concern and the concerned Universities, UGC and Ministry of Human
Resources Development should try to find out the causes of poor representation of these
communities in these courses. As mentioned earlier we shall have to ensure that intake
at primary, middle and secondary levels is increased and at the same time the dropout
and wastage at these levels are checked, and those promising among these communities
are picked up and placed in the public schools and they should be provided extra
coaching from lower levels so that they may compete with other students and their
representation may also increase in different courses. As mentioned earlier the
Centrally Sponsored scheme of up-gradation of merit of SC/ST should be fully
exploited in this regard. Besides the above mentioned scheme the concerned
Universities should also ensure that remedial courses meant for SC/ST students are
regularly continued and those universities which have not started these courses should
start without any further loss of time.

Miscellaneous Complaints
The Commission has also been receiving complaints of miscellaneous nature which do not
involve breach of any particular safeguard or right of SC/ST under the Constitution, a law or an
order of the Government but where the Complainants feel harassed or inconvenienced or seek
help.
BSNL India
E1-E2 CSS
During 1993-94, the Commission received about three hundred petitions containing complaints
of miscellaneous nature. These petitions included cases of requests for providing financial
assistance for community services, extension of welfare schemes and some problems faced by
individuals belonging to SC/ST like non payment of their dues, denying facilities meant for
SC/ST people, etc.
a.
Nineteen cases were received which sought financial assistance. Most of these
cases related to matters like construction of houses, providing financial assistance to
SC/ST, compensation due to loss of property in fire, help for higher education, training
courses, establishment of village or small scale industries, etc. All cases have been
taken up with the concerned authorities for taking necessary action. In addition to this
fourteen cases relating to community services were received in the Commission, out of
which five cases relate to activities of Societies, cleanliness and providing basic
facilities to SC/ST. Cases have been taken up with the concerned authorities. In many
cases replies are awaited. Four cases related to digging of tubewells for SC/ST, hospital
facilities, establishing of rest-houses and developmental problems of SC/ST.
b.
Cases regarding welfare schemes of SC / ST were also received in the

Commission from SC / ST representationists of various States / UTs. In many of these
cases, the representation was regarding waiver of loan or enhancement of loan limit.
These cases have also been taken up with the concerned authorities. In one case the
concerned authority informed that the petitioner was not entitled to waiver of loan. In
another case regarding enhancement of loan limit, the Commission did not take any
action as the petitioner had requested the Commission to approach the bank authorities
for enhancement of bank loan, which the Commission feels, is outside its working area.
c.
A case regarding penalty imposed on a Scheduled Caste L.P.G. dealer was

received. The case was taken up with the principal, i.e., M/s Bharat Petroleum Ltd. The
Company informed that the dealer was involved in malpractices and was issuing
irregular unauthorised gas connections and that was the reason why penalty was
imposed. The Commission did not find any reason to pursue the matter further.
Other cases received were regarding such matters as providing electricity
connections and allotment of land, etc., to persons belonging to SC/ST. The requests
have been taken up with the concerned authorities for suitable action although they are
not cases of violation of any safeguard or right.
Four cases regarding illegal and forceful occupation of shops of SC persons by
higher caste people were received. Out of these four cases one was sub-judice. Other
cases were referred to concerned authorities for suitable action.
The Commission received 22 petitions regarding general problems of SC/ST.
Most of the cases were regarding alleged harassment of SC/ST over different matters
such as non-payment of salaries, some demands of SC/ST and developmental problems,
etc. All the cases were referred to State Governments or the authorities concerned for
suitable action except for one case which did not fall under the purview of this
Commission. Final replies in the above cases are still awaited.
Two petitions regarding provision of better drinking water facilities to SC/ST
were also received. Both the cases were taken up with concerned authorities for suitable
action.
A case regarding death of tribals in Madhya Pradesh allegedly due to malaria
was received in this Commission. It could not be established that the deaths had
occurred due to malaria but were caused by different ailments and old age. However,
the State Government has been advised to take up concerted programmes for these

regarding removal of a liquor godown. The concerned District Magistrate was
requested to take necessary action in the matter.
A complaint was received regarding cheating of a SC person on the pretext of
giving employment to his daughter. The petitioner was advised to approach the local
police.
Maintenance of cleanliness in a SC basti was the subject matter of another
petition received. The District Collector was requested to take suitable action.
Case regarding cancellation of traveling agency belonging to a SC person was
received. The matter was taken up with the concerned authority (Indian Airlines) and it
was found that the petitioner himself was involved in malpractices and had no prima
facie case for the Commission to take any further action.
Preference in allotment of Distributive agencies/dealership for petroleum products

Article 46 included among the Directive Principles of State policy provides: "The State
shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker
sections of the people, and in particular, of the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled
Tribes, and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation".
Article 15(4) empowers the State to make any special provision for the advancement of
any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes.
Efforts made in the country for the development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes have not resulted in bringing about substantial improvement in their economic
condition primarily on account of the enormity of the problem. One such area of
support is in the matter of providing dealerships to them in the commodities over which
the State exercise control.
Reservation of 25% in dealerships for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes was
introduced by then Ministry of Petroleum, Chemicals and Fertilizers in September,
1977. From September 1977 to June 1980 advertisements for dealership were common
for all categories with preference to applicants belonging to Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes, subject to other things being equal. Guidelines were revised by the
Ministry in June, 1980 and it was desired that locations for new dealerships to be
allotted to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe persons may be predetermined by the
industry and a roster maintained State wise. There are four Public Sector Corporations
engaged in Petroleum activities, viz; Indian Oil Corporation Ltd; Hindustan Petroleum
Corporation Ltd; Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd; and Indo-Burma Petroleum Ltd.
These four Corporations allot the dealership/distributive agencies for petrol, diesel,
Superior Kerosine Oil and L.P.G. etc. 25% of all these dealerships are reserved for
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Further keeping in view of the fact that the majority population in Arunachal Pradesh,
Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram belong to Scheduled Tribes, the percentage
reservation of dealerships etc. for Scheduled Tribes in these
The Indian oil Corporation began implementing reservation orders from the year 1974
for all their agencies/dealership excepting 'B' site retail outlets i.e. dealer owned and
dealer-operated outlets. Other companies were nationalised later and reservation in
dealership allotment was made effective in respect of these companies only from 23-977.
The Government has accepted reservation in allotment of quotas in dealership in
petroleum products. In this regard the first step would be to ensure that these
BSNL India
E1-E2 CSS
opportunities are brought to the notice of aspirants SC & ST who are actually potential
beneficiaries. It will also be necessary to suitably modify the terms and conditions of
the agency which may vary from one area to another depending on the general
socioeconomic conditions in each case so that adequate number of potential candidates
come forward to take up the agencies. Particularly in the more backward areas even the
relaxed conditions may be quite stiff. Therefore, to workout a system of assistance
directly or in collaboration with other institutions to enable those who do not have their
own resources to come into this business. When any individual SC/ST may take any
agency he must be helped to stabilise himself in the area which is unknown to him. The
above mentioned steps are taken and carefully looked after by the
institution/Government. In this way the constitutional obligation has been fully
discharged.
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has issued letter to four PSUs saying that
reservation will be provided to the members of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes in
the matter of engaging road transport trucks for movement of all petroleum products
such as LPG, HS/HSD, BKO, Lubes etc. in bulk or packed by the Public Sector Oil
Companies. The percentage of reservation will be 15% and 7 1/2% for Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively on all India basis. The Scheduled
Caste./Scheduled Tribe members should, however, fulfill all tender conditions and they
will not be eligible for any price preference or relaxation of standards. If adequate
number of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates are not available in any
particular year the unfilled quota may be allotted to the unreserved categories in that
year. However, the unfilled quota may be carried forward to the next tender also and
offered to Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates. If the quota of the previous
tender is not filled even in the next tender, the unfilled quota of the previous tender may
be de-reserved and allotted to general categories. This reservation policy was to be
made operative w.e.f. 18.8.1994 and was to be made applicable to all future cases
where new transportation agreements have to be concluded by the oil companies.
Eleven representations were received regarding allotment of dealership/agencies for
L.P.G. in the Commission. In seven cases requests were made by the representationists
that their cases may be recommended by the Commission or the Commission
recommend for grant of dealership. It does not come within the purview of the
Commission to recommend cases for dealership agencies without any specific and valid
grounds of violation/deprivation of economic or any type of safeguards for SC/ST. Four
cases have been taken up with the authorities.

RESERVATION ROSTER GUIDELINES
To give proper effect to the percentages of reservation prescribed by the Govt. of India for
SCs, STs and OBCs every appointing authority shall treat the vacancies as reserved or
unreserved according to the respective reservation rosters. Initially the vacancy-based rosters
were prescribed I order to implement the Govt. Policy on reservation of jobs for the SCs, STs
and the OBCs. Each vacancy was treated as reserved or unreserved as per the roster point on
which it fell. The application of the percentages of reservation through the vacancy-based
roster was called into question before courts. The constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in
the case of R.K. Sabharwal Vs State of Punjab as well as J.C.Malik vs. Ministry of
Railways, held in 1995 that the reservation of jobs for the backward classes i.e. SC, ST and
OBC should apply to posts and not to vacancies. Accordingly the vacancy-based rosters were
replaced by the Govt. of India by post-based rosters with effect form 02.07.1997, as per details
below:
1. Recruitment made on all India basis by open / written competitive examination the 200
point roster (refer DoPT Order No. 36012/2/96/Estt (Res), dated 2nd July, 1997).
2. Recruitment made on all India basis otherwise than by open / written competitive
examination in the 120 point roster (refer DoPT Order No. 36012/2/96-Estt (Res), dated
2nd July, 1997).
3. Recruitment of Group C and D posts attracting candidates form a locality or region
through Employment Exchange according to 100 point roster (refer DoPT Order No.
36012/2/96-Estt (Res), dated 2nd July, 1997).
4. Posts filled by promotion to which reservation orders apply, in the 200 points roster (refer
DoPT Order No. 36012/2/96-Estt (Res), dated 2nd July, 1997).
The Post-based roster would be prepared on the following principles:
1. Since reservation for OBCs does not apply to promotions, there shall be separate rosters
for direct recruitment and for promotions.
2. The number of points in the roster shall be equal to the number of posts in the cadre. In
case there is any increase or decrease in the cadre strength in future, the rosters shall be
expanded / contracted correspondingly.
3. Cadre for the purpose of a roster shall mean a particular grade and shall comprise the
number of posts to be filled by a particular mode of recruitment in terms of the applicable
recruitment rules. Thus in a cadre of say 200 points, where the recruitment rules prescribed a
ratio of 50:50 for direct recruitment and promotion, two rosters one for direct recruitment and
one for promotion (when reservation in promotion applies) each comprising 100 points shall
be drawn up on the lines of the respective model rosters.
4. Since reservation does not apply to transfer on deputation/transfer, where the
recruitment rules prescribe a percentage of post to be filled by this methods , such posts shall
be excluded while preparing the roster.
5. In small cadres of up to 13 posts, the method prescribed for preparation of rosters does
not permit reservation to be made for all the three categories. In such cases, the administrative
Ministries/Department may consider grouping of posts in different cadres as prescribed in
MHA OM No. 4221/49-NGS dated 28.01.1952 and subsequent orders reproduced at pages 70
to 74 of the Brochure on Reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (8th Edition)
and prepare common rosters for such groups. In the event it is not possible to resort to such
grouping the rotational rosters for cadre strength upto 13 posts may be followed.
6. At the stage of initial operation of roster with effect from 02.07.97, it will be necessary
to adjust the existing appointments in the roster. This will also help in identifying the
BSNL India
E1-E2 CSS
excesses/shortages, if any, in respective categories in the cadre. This may be done starting
from the earliest appointments and making an appropriate remark utilized by
SC/ST/OBC/GEN, as the case may be against each point in the rosters as explained in the
explanatory notes reproduced below. In making these adjustments, appointments of
candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBCs which were made on merit (and not due to reservation)
are not be counted towards reservation. In other words, they are to be treated as general
category appointments. SC/ST candidates appointed on their own merit (by Direct
Recruitment or Promotion) and adjusted against unreserved points will retain their status of
SC/ST/OBC and will be eligible to get unreserved benefit of reservation in future or further
promotions, if any. 50% limit on reservation will be computed by excluding such reserved
category candidates who are appointed / promoted on their own merit without violating any
relaxation/concession or against unreserved points/vacancies.
7. Excess, if any, would be adjusted through future appointments and the existing
appointments would not be disturbed.
The principles of operating these rosters as explained in the detailed instructions have been
reproduced below:

As hitherto, those rosters are only an aid to determine the entitlement of different
categories with regard to the quota prescribed for them. They are not to determine
seniority.
The model rosters have been drawn up keeping in mind two fundamental principles i.e.
the reservation for the entitled categories is to be kept within the prescribed percentage
of reservation and the reservation should in no case exceed 50% of the cadre.
There should be separate rosters for direct recruitment and for promotion where
reservation in promotion applies.
The number of points in each roster shall be equal to the number of posts in a cadre.
While cadre is generally to be construed as the number of posts in a particular grade,
for the purpose of preparation of roster, it shall comprise posts required to be filled by a
particular mode of recruitment in terms of the applicable recruitment rules. To illustrate
in a cadre comprising 200 posts, where the recruitment rules prescribe a ratio of 50:50
for direct recruitment and promotions the roster for direct recruitment shall have 100
points and that for promotion also shall have 100 points. thus making a total of 200.
As indicated in the model roster, the method for making a roster is to multiply each post
by the prescribed percentage of reservation for the different reserved categories. The
point at which the multiple for a community obtains a complete number or oversteps
the number is to be reserved for that community while taking care to evenly space out
the different reserved categories. Thus, at point no. 15, in the roster at Annexure-II both
OBC and SC gets entitled. However, since earlier reserved point has gone to OBC,
point No. 15 has been reserved for SC and point no. 16 for OBC.
Since reservation does not apply to transfer/transfer on deputation, where rules
prescribed a percentage of posts to be filled by this method, the corresponding
proportion of posts should be excluded while drawing up rosters.
It would be noted that at the end of the roster squeezing has been done for the
reserved categories to reach the number of posts to be reserved for them without
violating the 50% limits laid down by the Courts, While drawing up rosters, the cadre
controlling authorities should similarly Squeeze the last point of the roster. Such
squeezing may not, however be done where it would violate the rule of 50%.
Whenever there is any increase or decrease in the cadre strength the roster shall be
correspondingly expanded or contracted. The same will also apply whenever there is a

change in recruitment rules, which affects the proportion of posts to be filled by a

particular mode of recruitment.
The roster is to be operated on the principle of replacement and not as a running
account as hitherto. In other works the points, at which reservation for different
categories applied are fixed as per the roster and
vacancies caused by retirement etc. of persons occupying those points shall be filled by
appointment of persons of the respective categories.
While operating the roster, person belonging to communities for whom reservation has
been made, but who are appointed on merit and not owing to reservation, should not be
shown against reserved points. They will occupy the unreserved points.
In case of all cadres (up to 13 posts) all the posts shall be earmarked on the same
pattern as in the model post based rosters. Initial recruitment against these posts shall be
by the category for which the post is earmarked. Replacement of incumbents of posts
shall be by rotation as shown horizontal against the cadre strength as applicable. While
operating the relevant roster, care will have to be taken to ensure that on no occasion
the percentage of reserved category candidates exceed 50%. If such a situation occurs
at any time, the relevant reserved point occurring, as a result of rotation will be skipped.
At the point of initial operation of the roster, it will be necessary to determine the actual
representation of the incumbents belonging to different categories in a cadre vis--vis
the points earmarked for each category viz. SC/ST/OBC and General in the roster. This
may be done by plotting the appointments made against each point of roster starting
with the earliest appointee. Thus, if the earlier appointee in the cadre happens to be a
candidate belonging to the Schedule Castes, against point no. 1 of the roster, the
remarks utilized by SC shall be entered. If the next appointee is a general category
candidate, the remark utilized by general category shall be made against point no. 2
and so on and so forth till all appointments are adjusted in the respective rosters. In
making adjustments, SC/ST/OBC candidates on merit, shall be treated as general
category candidates.
After completing the adjustment as indicated above, a tally should be made to
determine the actual percentages of representation of appointees belonging to the
different categories in the cadre. If there is an excess representation of any of the
reserved categories, or if the total representation of the reserved categories exceeds
50%, it shall be adjusted in the future recruitment. Vacancies arising from retirement
etc. of candidates belonging to such categories shall be filled by appointment of
candidates belonging to the categories to which the relevant roster points, against which
the excess occur, belong.
Since recruitment is generally vacancy based, it may happen that the actual number of
promotes and direct recruits in the cadre does not correspond to the number of points
earmarked in the respective reservation roster. For the purpose of calculations of
representation of reserved category in a cadre, total of promotes and direct recruits may
be taken. Rectification of the representation as per prescribed percentage
by the
prescribed mode of recruitment at the earliest possible should, however, be the goal.

Initial Operation.
1.
At the point of initial operation of the roster, it will be necessary to determine
the actual representation of the incumbents belonging to different categories in a cadre
vis--vis the points earmarked for each category viz., SC/ST/OBC and General in the
roster. This may be done by plotting the appointments made against each point of roster
starting with the earliest appointee. Thus, if the earlier appointee in the cadre happens
to be a candidate belonging to the Schedule Castes, against point No. 1 of the roster, the
remark utilized by SC shall be entered. If the next appointee is a general category
candidate, the remark utilized by general category shall be made against point No. 2:
and so on and so forth till all appointments are adjusted in the respective rosters, In
making these adjustments, SC/ST/OBC candidates on merit, in direct recruitment, shall
be treated as general category candidates.
2.
After completing the adjustment as indicated above, a tally should be made to
determine the actual percentages of representation of appointees belonging to the
different categories in the cadre. If the are an excess representation of any of the
reserved categories, or if the total representation of the reserved categories exceeds
50%, it shall be adjusted in the future recruitment. Vacancies arising from retirement,
etc, of candidates belonging to such categories shall be filled by appointment of
candidates belonging to the categories to which the relevant roster points, against which
the excesses occur, belong.
3.
Since recruitment is generally vacancy-based, it may happen that the actual
number of promotees and direct recruits in the cadre does not correspond to the number
of posts earmarked in the respective reservation roster. For the purpose of calculations
of representation of reserved category in a cadre, total of promotees and direct recruits
may be taken. Rectification of the representation as per prescribed percentage by the
prescribed mode of recruitment at the earliest possible should however be the goal.

Reservation for OBCs was introduced in

1993 only, the prescribed percentage of
OBCs has not been reached yet. Hence it
is prescribed that the new roster can be
brought into effect only after prescribed
percentage is reached in the case of
OBCs.
When it is prescribed that vacancies will

be filled 50-50% in respect of direct and
promotion quota and such recruitment is
to be vacancy-based. There are in- stances
where number of posts filled up by direct
recruitment gets vacated as a result of
direct recruits finding jobs elsewhere. As
per the present practice, such vacancies
are to be divided on 50-50% basis
amongst the direct recruitment and
promotion categories. If such a practice is
adopted the direct recruitment roster will
get shrunk while promotees will have
more numbers. It is, therefore, for
clarification whether the vacancies to be
announced under each category should be
based on number of posts remaining
unfilled in each category of the roster or
present practice should continue not with
standing the disparity.
As there is no running account based on
the vacancies, there appears to be no need
for carry forward points from one year to
another, no cycle of points and, therefore,
no need for a summary at the end of the
year.

the total of the reserved in the representation,

For OTBP / BCR, there will he no need to

other case [Writ Petition (Civil) No. 930 of 1900] the Govt. of India appointed an Expert
Committee to recommend the criteria for exclusion of the socially advanced persons/sections from
the benefit of reservation for Other Backward Classes in Civil posts and service under the Govt. of
India.
3. Consequent to the consideration of the Expert Committees recommendation orders are issued
as following :(a)
27% (twenty seven percent) of the vacancies in civil posts and service under the Govt. of
India to be filled through direct recruitment shall be reserved for the Other Backward

Classes. Detailed instruction relating to the procedure to be followed for enforcing
reservation will be issued Separately.
(b)
Candidates belonging to OBCs recruited on the basis of merit in an open competition on

the same standard prescribed for the general candidates shall not be adjusted against the
reservation quota of 27%. (See Clarification below)
(c)
(i) The aforesaid reservation shall not apply to persons/sections mentioned in Column 3 of
the Schedule to this office memorandum. (See Appendix-1)
(ii) The rule of exclusion will not apply to persons working as artisans or engaged in
hereditary occupations, calling. A list of such occupations, calling will be issued separately
by the Ministry of Welfare.
(d)
The OBCs for the purpose of the aforesaid reservations would comprises, in the first phase,
the castes and communities which are common to both the lists in the report of the Mandal
Commission and the State Government lists. A list of such castes and communities is being
issued separately by the Ministry of Welfare. [See Appendix--2]
(e)
The aforesaid reservation shall take immediate effect.***
4.
Similar instructions in respect of Public Sector Undertaking and Financial Institution
including Public Sector Banks were issued by the Department of Public Enterprises and by the
Ministry of Finance respectively, effective from the date of this office memorandum.
The above-said instructions relating to reservations for OBCs have been extended to
Autonomous Bodies, Statutory and Semi-Government Bodies and Voluntary Agencies receiving
grants from Government.
Clarification-- How the OBCs are to be assessed in relation to general candidate and how their
reserved quota are required to be filled?
Normally for any recruitment or selection, basic minimum standards are fixed. In the case of
competitive examination, merit lists are drawn, subject to fulfillment of this basic minimum
standards and candidates are appointed to the extent of the number of vacancies. The cut-off point
for the preparation of this general merit list is normally well above basic minimum standard. In the
process, not all the candidates who have obtained the basic minimum standard prescribed are
appointed to the service/posts in question. while the OBCs candidates who come in the general
merit list will not be adjusted against the reserved quota, those OBCs candidates who could not
come in the merit list but have obtained the basic minimum standards can be appointed against the
reserved vacancies.
A similar procedure is also required to be followed in the case of recruitment other than by open
competition. It will be up to the recruiting authorities to prescribed a basic minimum standard in
respect of any examination/selection.

authorities who are notified as competent to certify OBCs status should also be authorized
to certify that a candidate does not belong to the Creamy Layer. It is therefore, requested
that instructions may be issued to the District Authorities under your control o verify and
issue the necessary certificate to the candidates regarding his OBCs status as well as

the existing Government of India order, total reservation for SC/ST/Physically handicapped
person/Ex servicemen together with carry forward reservation and compassionate appointment
should not exceed 50% of the available vacancies in any particular year.

total vacancies.
As regards reservation for physically handicapped persons within 50% limit, the procedure

The matter relating to Ex-serviceman is under consideration of Government of India. Till the time
it is decided, their reservation within 50% limit is to be governed by Rule 4[1] of the Exservicemen [Re-employment in Central Civil Services and Posts] Rules, 1979, issued under G.I.,
M.H.A., D.P. and A.R., Notification No 39016/10/79-Estt. [C], dated 15-12-1979.
50% limit in compassionate appointment is to be regulated in accordance with the instructions
contained in Headquarters Office Circular No NGE/5/86 issued under No 61-N. 3/52/84/Zone-3,
dated 28-1-1986, i.e., the percentage of vacancies against which compassionate appointment could
be made should be determined after deducting from 50% the percentage of vacancies reserved for
SC/ST/OBC/Physical handicapped and Ex-servicemen. [See Section 6]

Validity period of OBC certificate and verification of Community and

non-creamy layer status of OBC candidates.
A question has arisen about the validity period of certificates issued to the candidates belonging to
other backward classes for the purpose of reservation in services. The OBC certificate consists of
two parts first part indicates that the concerned person belongs to a community listed as OBC
and the second part indicates that the candidate does not fall in the creamy layer. While the OBC
status of a candidate may change only when the community of the concerned candidate is removed
from the OBC list, his/her creamy layer status may change any time. In view of it, it is not possible
to determine a fixed validity period for the OBC certificate.
2. Every candidate seeking reservation as OBC is required to submit a certificate regarding his/her
OBC status and non-creamy layer status issued by an authority mentioned in Department of
Personnel and Training Office Memorandum No.36012/22/93-Estt.(SCT) dated 15.11.1993. The
OBC status and /or non-creamy layer status of the candidate, as pointed out in para above, may
change after issue of the certificate making him/her ineligible for reservation. In order to ensure
that candidates not eligible to get reservation do not seek reservation, a declaration, in addition to
certificate issued by the competent authority, may be obtained from the candidates seeking
reservation as OBCs in the following format:
BSNL India

Page 47
E1-E2 CSS
"I,___________________son/daughter of Shri _________________________resident of village
/town/city_________________district ______________state _________________ hereby declare
that I belong to the _____________________community which is recognized as a backward class
by the Government of India for purpose of reservation in services as per orders contained in
Department of Personnel and Training Office Memorandum No.36012/22/93-Estt.(SCT) dated
8.9.1993. It is also declared that I do not belong to persons/sections (Creamy Layer) mentioned in
Column 3 of the Schedule to the above referred Office Memorandum dated 8.9.1993."
3. The appointing authority, before appointing a person seeking appointment on the basis of
reservation to OBCs should verify the veracity of the community certificate submitted by the
candidate and also the fact that he/she does not fall in creamy layer on the crucial date. The crucial
date for this purpose may be treated as the closing date for receipt of applications for the post
except incases where crucial date is fixed otherwise.
4. It was decided vide this Departments Office Memorandum No.36033/9/95-Estt.(SCT) dated
10.5.1995 that in case of appointments against vacancies reserved for OBCs a clause in the offer of
appointment would be inserted to the effect that appointment will be provisional and subject to
verification of the community certificate. Since reservation is available only to such OBC
candidates who do not fall in the creamy layer, it is necessary that the clause inserted in the offer
of appointment should be modified so as to take care of creamy layer status of the candidate also.
It is, therefore, decided that the following modified clause may be included in the offer of
appointment in place of clause prescribed vide Office Memorandum dated 10.5.1995:
"The appointment is provisional and is subject to the community certificate being verified through
the proper channels. If the verification reveals that the claim of the candidate to belong to Other
Backward Classes or not to belong to creamy layer is false, his/her services will be terminated
forthwith without assigning any further reasons and without prejudice to such further action as
may be taken under the provisions of Indian Panel Code for production of false certificates."

E1-E2 CSS
also holding equivalent or comparable posts and positions under private employment. The creamy
layer status of the sons and daughters of employees of organizations where evaluation of the posts
on equivalent or comparable basis has not been made is determined on the basis of
Income/Wealth Test given in the Schedule. The Income/Wealth Test prescribes that the sons and
daughters of persons having gross annual income of Rs.2.5 lakh or above or possessing wealth
above the exemption limit as prescribed in the Wealth Tax Act for a period of three consecutive
years would be treated to fall in creamy layer. An explanation is given below the Income/Wealth
Test which provides that income from salaries or agricultural land shall not be clubbed.
4. Following questions have been raised from time to time about the application of the above
provisions to determine creamy layer:
(i) Will the sons and daughters of parents either of whom or both of whom are directly recruited
Class I/Group A officer(s) and such parent(s) dies/die or suffers/suffer permanent incapacitation

3.
4.
In the matter of qualifying marks/standards of evaluation of performances are

to be made in favour of candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes and
the Scheduled Tribes while considering them for promotion.
The validity of such lower qualifying marks/lesser standards of evaluation was called
into question in court in the context of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case
of Indira Sawhney Vs. Union of India. The Supreme Court, in the case S. Vinod
Kumar Vs: Union of India 1996 (8) S.C.6431 has he4ld that the provision for lower
qualifying marks/lesser level of evaluation, in the matter of promotion, provides for
candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes under
Government Instruction, is not permissible under Article 16(4) in view of the
command contained in Article 335 of the Constitution. The Court has further
observed that even if it is assumed for the sake of argument that reservation is
permitted by Article 16(4) the matter of promotion, a provision for lower qualifying
marks or lesser level of evaluation is not permissible in the matter of promotion, by
virtue of Article 335. The Court also held that the protection for reservation for five
years, given by the Supreme Court vide Para 829of the judgment in India Sawhneys
case, did not save the provision for lower qualifying marks/lesser level of evaluation.
It has accordingly been decided to withdraw the instruction contained in the
Departments
O.M.No.8/12/69
Estt
(SCR)
dated
23/12/70
and
O.M.No.36021/10/76 Estt(SCT) dated 21/11/1977.in so far these provide for lower
qualifying marks for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates in department
qualifying/competitive examination for promotion. Similarly the relevant portions of
Para 6.3.2 of the DPC guidelines circulated wide this Departments
O.M.No.2101/5/86-Estt(D) dt: 10-04-1989,to the extent that they provide for
consideration of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates without reference to
merit and the prescribed beach mark are hereby rescinded.
It is clarified that the and the effect of these instruction is that henceforth there shall
be no separable standard of evaluation for candidates of the Scheduled
Castes/Scheduled Tribes or promotion, and assessment of all candidates of the
Government, Which provide for lower qualifying marks/lesser standard of evaluation
matter of promotion for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled
Tribes, may also be treated as having been modified to this extent.

to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates on the same basis
on promotions made through department competitive examinations
and in departmental conformation examination where such

for conformation. The matter has been carefully considered and it has
been decided has that in promotions made through such examinations,
Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates who have not acquired
the general qualifying standard in such examination could also be
considered for promotion confirmation provided they are not found
unfit for such promotions confirmation. In other words, the qualifying
standard in these examination could be relaxed in favour Scheduled
Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates in keeping with the above
criterion.

Sub: 27% Reservation for other Backward Classes in Civil Posts / Service.
4. In a multiple undulating society like ours, early achievement of the objective of social justice
as enshrined in the Constitution is a must. The Second Backward Classes Commission, called
the MANDAL COMMSSION was established by the then Govt. with this purpose in view,
which submitted its report to the Govt. of India on 31/12/1980.
5. Government have carefully considered the report and the recommendation of the Commission
in the present context regarding the benefits to be extended to the Socially and educationally
Backward Classes as opined by the Commission and are of the clear view that at the outset
certain weight age has to be provide to such classes in the services of the Union and their
public Undertakings.
Following the Supreme Court judgment in the Indira Sawhnev and other V. Union of India and
other case [Writ Petition (Civil) No. 930 of 1900] the Govt. of India appointed an Expert
Committee to recommend the criteria for exclusion of the socially advanced persons/sections from
the benefit of reservation for Other Backward Classes in Civil posts and service under the Govt. of
India.
6. Consequent to the consideration of the Expert Committees recommendation orders are issued
as following :(a)
27% (twenty seven percent) of the vacancies in civil posts and service under the Govt. of
India to be filled through direct recruitment shall be reserved for the Other Backward
Classes. Detailed instruction relating to the procedure to be followed for enforcing
reservation will be issued Separately.
(b)

the same standard prescribed for the general candidates shall not be adjusted against the
reservation quota of 27%. (See Clarification below)

Similar instructions in respect of Public Sector Undertaking and Financial Institution
including Public Sector Banks were issued by the Department of Public Enterprises and by the
Ministry of Finance respectively, effective from the date of this office memorandum.
The above-said instructions relating to reservations for OBCs have been extended to
Autonomous Bodies, Statutory and Semi-Government Bodies and Voluntary Agencies receiving
grants from Government.
Clarification-- How the OBCs are to be assessed in relation to general candidate and how their
reserved quota are required to be filled?
Normally for any recruitment or selection, basic minimum standards are fixed. In the case of
competitive examination, merit lists are drawn, subject to fulfillment of this basic minimum
standards and candidates are appointed to the extent of the number of vacancies. The cut-off point
for the preparation of this general merit list is normally well above basic minimum standard. In the
process, not all the candidates who have obtained the basic minimum standard prescribed are
appointed to the service/posts in question. while the OBCs candidates who come in the general
merit list will not be adjusted against the reserved quota, those OBCs candidates who could not
come in the merit list but have obtained the basic minimum standards can be appointed against the
reserved vacancies.
A similar procedure is also required to be followed in the case of recruitment other than by open
competition. It will be up to the recruiting authorities to prescribed a basic minimum standard in
respect of any examination/selection.

Principles for making & operating post based rosters.

ANNEXURE-I TO O.M.No. 36012/2/96-Estt.(Res) Dated 02-07-1997
EXPLANATORY NOTES :1. As hitherto, these rosters are only an aid to determine the entitlement of different categories
with regard to the quota reserved for them. They are not to determine seniority.
2. The model rosters have been drawn up keeping in mind two fundamental principles the
reservation for the entitled categories is to be kept within the prescribed percentage of
reservation and the total reservation should in no case exceed 50% of the cadre.
3. There should be separate rosters for direct recruitment and for promotions where
4. The number of points in each roster shall be equal to the number of posts in a cadre.
5. While cadre is generally to be construed as the number of posts in a particular grade, for
the purpose of preparation of roster, it shall comprise posts required to be filled by a
particular mode of recruitment in terms of the applicable recruitment rules. To illustrate, in
a cadre comprising 200 posts, where the recruitment rules prescribe a ration of 50:50 for
direct recruitment and promotions, the roster for direct recruitment shall have 100 points
and that for promotion shall have 100 points thus making a total of 200.
6. As indicated in the model, roster, the method for making a roster is to multiply each post
by the prescribed percentages of reservation for the different reserved categories. The point
at which the multiple for a community obtains a complete number or oversteps the number
is to be reserved for that community while taking care to evenly space out the different
reserved categories. Thus, at point no. 15, in the roster at Annexure-II both OBC and SC
get entitled. However, since earlier reserved point has gone to OBC, point no. 15 has been
reserved for SC and point No. 16 for OBC.
7. Since reservation does not apply to transfer/transfer on deputation, where rules prescribe a
percentage of posts to be filled by this method, the corresponding proportion of posts
should be excluded while drawing u the rosters.
8. It would be noted that at the end of the roster, squeezing has been done for the reserved
categories to reach the number of posts to be reserved for them without violating the 50%
limit laid down by the Courts. While drawing up rosters, the cadre controlling authorities
should similarly squeeze the last points of the roster. Such squeezing may not, however,
be down where it would violate the rule of 50%.
9. Whenever there is any increase or decrease in the cadre strength, the roster shall be
change in recruitment rules which affects the proportion of posts to be filled by a particular
mode of recruitment.
10. The roster is to be operated on the principle of replacement and not as a running account
as hitherto. In other words, the points a which reservation for different categories applies
BSNL India

Page 73
E1-E2 CSS
are fixed as per the roster and vacancies caused by retirement etc. of persons occupying
those points shall be filled by appointment of persons of the respective categories.
11. While operating the roster, persons belonging to communities for whom reservation has
been made, but who are appointed on merit and not owing to reservation, should not be
shown against reserved points. They will occupy the unreserved points.
12. In the case of small cadres (up to 13 posts), all the posts shall be earmarked on the same
pattern as in the model post-based rosters. Initial recruitment against these posts shall be by
the category for which the post is earmarked. Replacement of incumbents of posts shall be
by rotation as shown horizontally against the cadre strength as applicable. While operating
the relevant roster, care will have to be taken to ensure that on no occasion the percentage
of reserved category candidates exceed 50%. If such a situation occurs at any time, the
relevant reserved point occurring as a result of rotation will be skipped.
INITIAL OPERATION
1. At the point of initial operation of the roster, it will be necessary to determine the actual
representation of the incumbents belong to different categories in a cadre vis--vis the
points earmarked for each category viz. SC/ST/OBC and General in the roster. This may be
done by plotting the appointments made against each point of roster starting with the
earliest appointee. Thus, if the earlier appointee in the cadre happens to be a candidate
belong to the Scheduled Castes, against point No. 1 of the roster, the remark utilized by
SC shall be entered. If the next appointee is a general category candidate, the remark
utilized by general category shall be made against point No.2 and so on and forth till all
appointments are adjusted in the respective roster. In making these adjustments,
SC/ST/OBC candidates on merit, in direct recruitment, shall be treated as general category
candidates.
2. After completing the adjustment as indicated above, a tally should be made to determine
the actual percentages of representation of appointees belong to the different categories in
the cadre. If there is an excess representation of any of the reserved categories, or if the
total representation of the reserved categories exceeds 50%, it shall be adjusted in the
future recruitment. Vacancies arising from retirement etc. of candidates belonging to such
categories shall be filled by appointment of candidates belonging to the categories to which
the relevant roster points, against which the excesses occur, belong.
3. Since recruitment is generally vacancy based, it may happen that the actual number of
promotees and direct recruits in the cadre does not correspond to the number of posts
earmarked in the respective reservation roster. For the purpose of calculations of
representation of reserved category in a cadre, total of promotees and direct recruits may be
taken. Rectification of the representation as per prescribed percentage by the prescribed
mode of recruitment at the earliest possible should however be the goal.
