OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Reservation in promotion – Treatment of SC/ST candidates promoted on their own merit.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Departmentโ€™s O.M.No.36028/17/2001-Estt. (Res) dated 11’h July, 2002 which clarified that 80 ST candidates appointed by promotion on their own merit and not owing to reservation or relaxation of qualifications will be adjusted against un-reserved points of the reservation roster and not against reserved points. It was subsequently clarified by this Departmentโ€™s O.M. No.36028/17/2001-Estt. (Res) dated 31.1.2005 that the above referred O.M. took effect from 11.7.2002 and that concept of own merit did not apply to the promotions made by non-selection method.
2. Central Administration Tribunal, Madras Bench in O.A. No.900/2005 (S. Kalugasalamoorthy v/s. Union of India & Others] has set aside the OM. No.36028/17/2001-Estt. (Res) dated 31.1.2005 and held that when a person is selected on the basis of his own seniority. the scope of considering and counting him against quota reserved for SCs does not arise.

3. The matter has been examined in the light of the above referred judgments and it has been decided to withdraw O.M. No. 36028/17/2001-Estt. (Res) dated 31.1.2005 referred to above.

    Is the stay in promotion of reserved category candidates to unreserved post also valid for adhoc promotion?
    Looking for some DoPT guidelines stating the same.

  • srinivas 8 years ago

    with reservations in promotions SCST people are occupying Unreserved posts also.Again these UR vacancies are going for recruitment as backlog vacancies.Till date more than 6 lakhs jobs of OBC and OCs were taken away by SC ST students.So for the next 15 years no recruitment for SC ST should be made.ALL OBC and OC students please wake up.

  • Reservation was introduced by Dr. Ambedkar for upliftment of SC/ST that too for one generation. It was politicised by Madam Indra Gandhi. Now Iam 69 and even now reservation is there. Is it true that even now the SC/ST are working as scavangers and sweepers. There is no SC/ST in the Hogh Echlon posts? First it was SC/ST. Then it was BC and MBC and then caste based. When it will end?
