(a) the circumstances when the regular employees of Central Government are declared surplus and are not being reinstated in their present scales in the vacancies of same scale in other Central Government departments in particular States or district; and 

(a) & (b): The Central Government employees are rendered surplus as a result of administrative and financial reforms, transfer of an activity to a State Govt., Public Sector Undertaking or studies of work measurement, abolition or winding up of an organization of the Central Government etc. Surplus Cell of Department of Personnel and Training makes efforts to redeploy surplus staff keeping in view their substantive grade pay, suitability etc. in the same state in which they were working at the time of being declared surplus on availability of suitable vacancies. 

Though normally the effort is made to redeploy the low paid employees belonging to Grade ‘C’ (upto Grade Pay of Rs.4200/-) in the same State in which they are working at the time of being declared surplus, it, however, may be necessary to redeploy them in other States if no suitable vacancies are reported to the Surplus Cell at the relevant time.
