Both the Federations ( AIRF/NFIR) had advised that Railways are facing difficulty in implementing the instructions contained in item 2 of Board's letter ibid regarding " only those temporary posts which are in operation for atleast three years may also be taken into account for the purpose of applying revised percentage" and requested Board to amend this clause.

In view of the above, the matter has been reviewed by the Ministry of Railways ( Railway Board) and it has been decided that existing instructions contained in item 2 of Board's letter PC-I11/2013/CRC/4 dated 8.10.2013 RBE No.102/2013),may be revised as follows:-

Item	Existing instruction	Modified instruction

Only those temporary posts which are in operation for atleast three years may also be taken into account for the purpose of applying revised percentage. This will be subject to certification that these posts are meant for regular activities which will continue and not for any sporadic requirements. -	These orders will be applicable to the permanent regular cadres ( excluding surplus & supernumerary posts) of the Open Line establishments including Workshops, Production Units, RDSO and Centralized Training Institutes. Temporary posts may be taken into account for the purpose of cadre restructuring subject to certification that these posts are meant for regular activities which will continue and not for any sporadic requirements. In the event of any temporary posts so reckoned being surrendered within a period of three years of their original creation, percentage distribution of posts in the cadre would also be suitably re-adjusted, not later than the time of the first subsequent annual review.

This issues with the approval of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
