NO.E(NG)I-2008/PM1/14            New Delhi, dated 10.06.2011

(As per Standard List)

Sub:- Ad-hoc promotion of staff in Construction and other projects.

   According to extant procedure, Construction/projects are treated as extension of the cadre of posts in the Railway/Division in the jurisdiction of which Such projects are located and all their requirements are being taken care of by Open Line Administration. Since all such posts are already being taken into account for extending promotion to staff against such posts, there is hardly any post(s) against which such adhoc promotion could be given.

   2. The matter, has been considered afresh by the Board and it has been decided that in order to avoid unintended benefit to the junior employees working, in Construction Organisation, the ad-hoc promotions in Construction Organisation should be restricted and instructions in this regard as contained in Boards letter NO.E-(NG)1-97/PM1/30 dated 27.03.1998 read with para 216A of IREM, Vol-I, 1989 should be strictly adhered to. In no case, second ad-hoc promotion should be allowed under any circumstances.

   3. It has also been decided that henceforth all promotions shall be done with the approval of the Cadre Controlling authority who is competent to issue regular promotions. The need for ad-hoc promotion should be personally approved by the Cadre Controlling Authority of the Open Line before any such ad-hoc promotion is granted by Construction Organisation.
