As mentioned in the Board’s letter that, office bearers ofr Sc/ST Railway Employees Association are sometimes being subject to transfers without valid grounds, which adversely effects smooth functioning of the Association.

It was desired vide Board’s letter No. 89-E(SCT)I/29/5 DATED 08-11-89 that, in the matter of postings/placements of officers/staff, no discrimination should be shown against those belonging to SC/ST and it should be ensured that incidents of harassment of SC/ST officers and discriminatory treatment against them do not occur. Wherein, it was also advised that transfer of elected office bearers of SC/ST Railway Employees Associations in the same grade not generally be resorted to in ordinary situations.

However, whenever such transfers are considered essential, the controlling authority may satisfy himself that the same is appropriately warranted according to the administrative needs. In such cases, the concerned Liaison Officer for SCs/STs may be appraised of the circumstances, under which such transfers have been ordered. This will enable the Liaison Officer to explain the background of a transfer to the office-bearers of the Association, if any representation against transfer of office-bearer of SC/ST Association is received.

This issues with the approval of the Competent authority.

Please acknowledge the receipt.
