Ref. ICF’s letter No. PB/S3E/61/5/PQ/Vol.IV dated 06.07.2023 and 02.11.2023.
One of the Production Units, namely ICF, vide above referred letter, has sought
clarification on the following points:-
- Whether, extending zone of consideration to 5 times the number of vacancies and alerting the PwBD employees whoever comes within the extended zone is correct or the demand of PwBD employee to extend the zone of consideration 5 times amongst the PwBD employees only to be considered.
- Whether PwBD employees are eligible for upper age relaxation in the Intermediate Apprentice Selection?
2. Regarding “a”, clarification has already been given through Railway Board’s circular RBE 131/2023. As regards “b”, the issue has been deliberated upon by the Board in consultation with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoP&T), and the clarification is as follows:
“There is no provision of age relaxation for PwBD employees appearing in departmental examinations.”
3. Please acknowledge the receipt
This disposes off ICF’s letter No. PB/S3E/61/5/PQ/Vol.IV dated 06.07.2023 and 02.11.2023.
