Dear Sir,

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No.E(NG)-II/2009/RR-1/10/Pt. dated 09.12.2010 and 5.1.2011

   The Railway Board vide their letter under reference have circulated guidelines in respect of minimum educational qualification for appointment in erstwhile Group `D’ posts, wherein it has been stipulated that minimum recruitment qualification shall be 10th Pass/ITI or equivalent. This educational qualification shall be equally applicable for appointment on compassionate ground. The Board have further issued instructions vide their letter dated 5.1.2011 that the cases of compassionate appointment which are not finalized by31.03.2011 due to any reason, in those cases also, the above noted condition of minimum educational qualification shall apply, irrespective of death of the deceased employee.

   In this connection, attention of the Railway Board is invited towards the cases which could not be finalized because of lethargy, inordinate delay in finalization of enquiry by the concerned Sectional Welfare Inspectors or other administrative delay by 31.03.2011. In such cases, the wards who are not in possession of educational qualification of High School/ITI or equivalent shall be deprived of appointment on compassionate ground without any fault of them.

   An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.
