(as per standard list)
Sub: Guideline for providing various facilities including allowing scribe to person with disabilities at the time of departmental examination.
Reference Board’s letter of even number dated 01.09.2014 on the above subject which provides that the various facilities including scribes to persons with disabilities as laid down in Railway Boards letters No. E(NG)II/2006/RC-2/13 dated 17.09.2007, 18.02.2011, 27.04.2017, 25.09.2013 and 19.12.2013, for direct recruitment, may be made applicable for departmental examinations also, wherever circumstances so warrant.
A doubt has been raised by one Zonal Railway as to whether the facility of scribe for departmental examination is restricted to persons recruited against 3% PwD quota or it can also be extended to persons who have been certified disabled by a Railway Doctor due to disability during service. If yes, whether the facility is available for promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ also, in addition to promotions within Group ‘C’.
The matter has been examined in consultation with the Management Services Dte., and it is clarified that the instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number dated 01.09.2014 ibid is also applicable to persons who have attained the disability while in service, for appearing in all departmental examinations both within Group ‘C’ and from Group ‘C’ to Gazetted categories.

COMMENTS
Kindly look at both guidelines for Scribes for the person with disability.
Other than these two guidelines/proformas there are no other guidelines/proformos available for Scribes at present . The first guidelines/proforma F. No. 34-02/2015-DD-III Dt. 29 August 2018

which is for benchmark)disabilities only mentions physical disability or physical limitation ,not mental disability or mental limitation, and it seems that it is not for persons whith mental disability . The second guidelines F. No. 29-6/2019-DD-III Dt. 10 August 2022

Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment
Department of Empowerment of of Persons ·with Disabilities (Divyangjan)proforma which is for non benchmark disabilities, mentions all types of disabilities inclusive of physical and mental disability . Now the question which arises is that the person with benchmark mental disability comes under which guideline/proforma for availing Scribe .
Kindly help these people to get justice since mentally disabled are the most deprived, vulnerable and downtrodden section of the society and are unable to raise their voices against discrimination.
