CHAPTER V  

PERCENTAGE OF POSTS FIXED FOR VARIOUS CATEGORIES  

501 Unless a deviation is specifically permitted by the Railway Board in any-particular case, the non-gazetted posts in the following categories on Railways have been distributed in the  various grades in the percentages indicated against each :—    

Note 1.—The percentage-fixed in each-case-shall apply equally to the permanent  as well as the temporary strength of the cadre. It should, however, be applied separately to  permanent and temporary posts.  

Note 2.—The percentage will apply to all the posts in question on the Railway as a whole and  not   separately   to  each  promotion unit So long-as staff in groups with lower percentage of higher grade posts have some avenue of coming on to groups with   a   larger percentage of Higher   grade posts, the overall Percentage may be applied   to  grouped channels  of    promotion,  the percentage in separate channels being varied within narrow limits.  

Note 3.—In cases where justification does not exist on the basis of duties and responsibilities for upgrading up to the specified percentage, the upgrading should be carried out up to the specific percentage and in such cases where  a maximum and minimum percentage has been fixed, the upgrading should be carried   out   up to   the  minimum percentage.
