The East Punjab Government has had under consideration the 1 question of reservation of certain percentage of appointments to services in East Punjab for the Scheduled Castes. They have decided that:— (i) The Scheduled Castes, as defined in the Draft Consti tution of India, be given representation in service, according to their population. (ii) Pending the determination of the exact percentage of Scheduled Caste population in East Punjab, 15 per cent vacancies in all services be earmarked for Scheduled Caste candidates, provided suitable material for filling such appointments is available out of the Scheduled Caste candidates. (iii) It is to be clearly understood that the minimum quali fications prescribed for any post would not be lowered with a view to accommodating any Sche duled Caste candidate. This reservation of percentage of appointments for Scheduled Castes should be brought into force while making all new appoint ments jn your Department/Office. It will not apply to promotions which are to be governed by considerations of seniority and merits alone.

MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS

Resolution

New Delhi, the 13th September, 1950.

No. 42/21/49-NGS.—The policy of the Government of India in regard to communal representation in the services immediately before the coming into force of the new Constitution was that in appointments made by open competition 12^ per cent of the vacancies filled by direct recruitment were reserved for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes while in regard to posts and services for which recruitment was made otherwise than by compe tition the principal communities in the country were given appoint ments in proportion to their population. Certain reservations were also made for Anglo-Indians in services with which they had special past associations.

2. The Government of India have now reviewed their policy in this regard in the light of the provisions of the Consti tution of India which lay down inter-alia that with certain excep tions no discrimination shall be made in the matter of appoint ments to the services under the State on grounds of race, religion, caste, etc. The exceptions are that special provision shall be made for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in all services and for Anglo-Indians in those services which they had special reservation on the 14th August, 1947. Pending the determination of the figures of-population at the Census of 1951, the Government of India have decided to make the following reservations in 10 recruitment to posts and services under them :— (a) Scheduled Castes.—^The existing reservation of 12i per cent of vacancies filled by direct recruitment in favour of the Scheduled Castes will continue the case of recruitment to posts and services made on All-India basis, by open competition, /. e., through the Union Public Service Commission or by means of open competition tests held by any other authority. f Where recruitment is made otherwise than by open competition the reservation for Scheduled Castes will be 16i per cent, as at present.

(b) Scheduled Tribes.— Both in recruitment by open competition and in recruitment made otherwise than by open competition there will be a reserva tion in favour of members of Scheduled Tribes of 5 per cent of the vacancies filled by direct recruit ment. (c) Anglo-Indians.—The reservations which were in force .in favour of Anglo-Indians in the Railways 'S 9 Services, the Posts and Telegraphs Department, and -Y the Customs Department on the 14th August, 1947, will be continued subject to the provisions of Article 336 of the Constitution. 3. The reservations prescribed in the previous paragraph will apply in the case of recruitment made on All-India basis. Under the Constitution till citizens of India are eligible for consi deration for appointment to posts and services under the Central Government irrespective of their domicile or place of birth and there can be recruitment to any Central Service which is confined by rule to the inhabitants of any specified area. In practice, however, recruitment to Class I and Class II services and posts is likely to attract candidates from all over India and will be on a truly All-India basis, while for the majority of Class III and posts which are filled otherwise than through the Union Public Service Commission only those residing in the area or locality in which the office is located are likely to apply. In the latter Class of cases the percentages of reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes will be fixed by Government taking into account the popu lation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in that area. 11

4. (I) The orders regarding reservation of vacancies in favour of the various communities will not apply to recruitment by promotion which will continued to be made as heretofore irrespective of communal considerations on the basis of seniority and/or merits as the case may be.

(2) In all cases a minimum standard of qualifications will be prescribed and the reservations will be subject to the overall condition that candidates of the requisite communities possessing the prescribed qualifications and suitable in all respects for the appointment in question, arc forthcoming in sufficient numbers for the vacancies reserved for them.

(3) The maximum age limits prescribed for appointment to a service or post will be increased by three years in case of candi dates belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the fees prescribed for admission to any examination or selection will be reduced to one-fourth in their case.

(4) For the purposes of these orders, a person shall be held to be a member of the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes as the case may be, if he belongs to a Caste or a Tribe which under the Constitution ^'Scheduled Castes) order, 1950, or under the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) order, 1950, has been declared to be Scheduled Caste, or a Scheduled Tribe for the area in which he and/or his family ordinarily reside (s). Separate instructions will issue declaring the castes and tribes for the purpose of these orders in Part—C States and Part—D territories. (5) These orders are applicable to any services under the control of the Government of India including posts and servicei in States in Part—C of the First Schedule to the Constitution and will be deemed to have come into effect on the 26th January, 1950. (6) The orders contained in the Ministry of Home Affairs resolution No. 16/10/47-Estt., dated 21st August, 1947. Office Memo. No, 3I/93/47-Estt., dated the 22nd August, 1947, and other orders issued on the basis of those orders are hereby cancelled, 12

This formula envisages a system of appoint ment on the basis of blocks of 5 vacancies expressed in the following manner ;— ^ S plus O plus O plus O plus O is equal to 5 vacancies or one Block. 26

(S) stands foi a post reserved for members of Scheduled Castes and Tribes and (O) stands for a post open to all others). 3. It has further been decided that in case it is not possible to fill the first reserved vacancy by appointment of a member of the Scheduled Castes or Tribes, this vacancy may be filled by a non-Scheduled Caste/Tribe candidate, in consultation with the Chief Secretary (in Welfare and General Branch), as already stated in Punjab Government letter No. 3641-WG-51/1984, dated the 2nd June, I95I and the reservation should then be carried on from vacancy to vacancy in the same block until a suitable candidate for one vacancy in the block has been found. If all vacancies in the block are filled by non-Scheduled Castes/Tribes candidates in consultation with the Chief Secretary, due to lack of suitable Scheduled Castes/ Tribes candidates the vacancy should be carried over to the second blocks, which will in the circumstances read as follows ;—

"S plus S plus O plus O plus O" Here again, the reservation should be carried from vacancy to vacancy in the second block until it is possible to fill them. If, however, it is not possible to fill both the reserved vacancies in such a second block, then only one of the two reserved vacancies will be carried over to the third block. In other words not more than one reserved vacancy will be carried over from one block to the next in any case.

4. I am to request that these instructions should be followed strictly, in future, while filling new vacancies, and every effort should be made to fill ail reserved vacancies by appointment of suitable members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes.

Sir, I am directed to invite a reference to the instructions contained in Punjab Government letters No. 4368-WG-522/951, dated the 3rd April, 1950, and No. 4854-WG.52/4164, dated the 21st August, 1952, on the subject noted above, wherein it was stated that members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes, who are in service and otherwise qualified and suitable and against whom there are no complaints, should not ordinarily be brought under reduction or retrenched so long as their total strength does not exceed 15 per cent(now 19 per cent) and that cases of proposed retrenchment of members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes officials does not exceed 19% should be referred to Government before orders passed. Government have had these instructions under consideration and it has been found .that the present instructions allov^ the members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes In Government services a superior 23 daim over all other employees senior to them irrespective of the number of years that they may have been m service at the of any reduction or retrenchment. It has, therefore, b^n decided that in future a member of Scheduled Castes/Tribp in Go^^e^nment service will be entitled to this preference only vis-a-vi^- non- Scheduled Caste employees who are senior to him by not_ more than one year. In other words a member of the Scheduled Castes/ Tribesthough inhe mayGovernment be the junior service, most should employee not in the office/depart- rnent concerned, if at the time of the proposed retrenchment there are other temporary employees not more than one year senioi to the Scheduled Caste/Tribe employees concerned; in such a case the senior most non-Scheduled Caste/Tnbe employee senior to the Scheduled Caste/Tribe employee by not more than one year may be retrenched and the Scheduled Caste/Tnbe employee shou.d be retained. 2.

Subject ; Reservation of vacancies in State Government services for members of Backward Classes. T am directed to address you on the subject noted, above and to say, that as you are aware, at present 19 per cent ot 29

vacancies in the State Govemnlent services have been reserved lor members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes together, on the basis of their total population in the Punjab. Recently Govern ment reconsidered some socially'and economically Backward Castes in the Stale as 'Bickwa rd . Classes', These are mentioned in Punjab Government letters N0. 6961-WG-53/81398, dated the. 6th October, 1953, and constitute about 2 per cent of the total population of" 'the ~State. It was^also decided that members of these Backward Classes will be entitled to the same concessions as are enjoyed by members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes except for reservation of seats in the Ho use bfthe People and the Slate Legislature. Government have now decided that, on the basis of population, an additional?^ per cent jof vacancies in the State Government services should als j be reserved for members of the •Backward Classes' and that before vacancies reserved for Back- ward Classes are thrown open to others, they should first be offered to candidates of Schec uled Castes/Tribes, if available. In the "same way, before vaca notes meant for Scheduled Castes/ Tribes are thrown open to others owning to unavailability of suitable candidates, they shall be offered first'to the Backward Classes.

2. I am to add that the instructions contained in Punjab Government letter No. 9525-\/G_-S3/94440, dated the 8th De- cember, 1953, relating to the i idoption of Block system formula in the case of recruitment of Schet luled'Castes/Tribes shall also apply to the vacancies reserved for Bacjcward Classes.

GENERAL t

Subject.— Reservation of seats i; 1 Fducational, Technical and Professional institution for admission of members of Scheduled Castes,"S\ hcdiiled Tribes and Backward Classes.

I am directed lo address you c n the subject noted above and to say that at present 19 per cent of vacancies in the State 'Government services' have been eserved for members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes together Government have recently decided that a further 2 per centol'vacancies should be reserved for members of the Backward Class is. Experience has, however, shown that suitable candidates fron 1 Scheduled Castes/Tribes are not available for filling up the vacancies reserved for them, especially for technical posts. O nc ofj the leasons for their non-availability appears to be „thlat they are not able to secure admission to educational and lechn ical institutions in adequate numbers This is equally truci i n the case of the Backward Classes recently recognised.

After taking into considerat ion ^the present conditions prevalent in various institutions, it IS felt that the policy of Government in this matter should t 2 to encourage members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes, to oiitain higher education while ensuri ng at the same time that educational standards are not lowt red.' It has. therefore, been decided that on the basis of their!pc pulation in the Punjab, 19 per cent of seats in educational tech licaljand professional institu- tions controlled by Government sHoi ild be reserved for members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and a fur ;her 2 per cent seats should be reserved for members of Back vardi Classes. The minimum qualifications, however, required of andidates for all these seats .should not be relaxed in favour ofm embers of Scheduled Castes/ Tribes and Backward Classes. 3 1

3. I am further to add that if a sufficient number of candidates from Scheduled Castes/Tribes is not available, the seats reserved for them before they are thrown open to others should be offered first to members of Backward Classes,- if available. In the same way, if a sufficient number of candidates of Backward Classes is not available the seats reserved for them should be V offered first to candidates of Scheduled Castes/Tribes. If, how ever, they are not available the seats may then be thrown open to other candidates.

No. 34447.WG-54/30205,

From Nawah Singh, Esquire, I.C.S., Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab, To All Heads of Departments etc.

Dated, Chandigarh, the 25th May 1954. Subject:—Representation of members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in services. Sir, T am directed to invite a reference to Punjab Government letter No. 9525-WG-53/94449. dated the 8th December, 1953, relating to the adoption of a block system for the recruitment of members of S.Cs. and S.Ts. in services. According to the instruc tions contained therein, the first vacancy of every block of five vacancies is to be reserved for members of the S.Cs. and S.Ts. but in case it is not possible to fill this reserved vacancy by appointing a Scheduled Caste/Tribe candidate, it can be filled up . by appointing a non-Scheduled Caste/Tribe candidate, after ob taining permission of the Chief Secretary in' the Welfare and General Branch, as laid down in para 5 of Punjab Government letter No. 3641-WG-51/I984, dated the 2nd June, 1951. Experience has, however,shown that the present procedure is cumbersome and a lot of time is wasted in correspondence by Departments which fail to secure a Scheduled Caste/Tribe candidate, in securing permission of the Chief Secretary in Welfare and General Branch to fill the post by appointment of a non-Scheduled Caste/Tribe Candidate. It has b«n noted that many short-term vacancies lapse in the course of this correspondence, and the efficiency of offices suffers meanwhile.

2. After careful consideration. Government have decided to relax the condition that Department must seek the permission of the Chief Secretary before appointing a non-Scheduled Caste/ Tribe candidate to a reserved post. All other conditions will remain as before. The outcome of this decision will be that. (I) in the case of temporary reserved vacancies, which arc to last for such a short term that they can be filled without reference to the 33

Subordinate Services Selection Board or the Public Service Commission, and (2) in the case of reserved posts carrying salary of less Rs. 50 which can be filled without a reference to the S.S.S. Board, the Head of the Department or other competent officer concerned may appoint a candidate not belonging to any Scheduled Caste/Tribe or Backward Class, if, after proper adver tisement and reference to the Employment Exchange as prescribed in P.G. letter No. 3641-WG-41-1948, dated the 2nd June, 1951, he is unable to find a suitable candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste/Tribe or Backward Classes. In the case of post to be filled through the Subordinate Services Selection Board or the Public Service Commission it may be laid down in respect of reserved vacancies that if a suitable candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste/Tribe or Backward Class is not available, the reserved vacancy will be thrown open to all others.

3. The procedure regarding carry-over of reservations from one post to another and from one block to the next will continue as stated in P.G. letter No. 9525-WG-53/94449, dated the 8th December, 1953. All other instructions of Government regarding reservation in services should be strictly followed.

GAZETTE Subject—Procedure to be followed in selection of Officers/ Officials for promotion to higher posts—Greater emphasis on merit than on seniority.

Sir, 1 am directed to refer to the correspondence resting with Punjab Government letter No. 2334-51/1-2152, dated the 6th April, 1951, regarding the maintenance of Ranking lists for the purpose of promotion and to state that the question of laying greater emphasis on merit rather than seniority has been engaging the attention of Government for some time past. Although theoretically, the principle is recognised that pro motion to selection posts implies a conscious act of selection, Government are convinced that, in practice, promotion is primarily made not on the basis of merit baton the basis of seniority-cum-fitness. It cannot be ignored the selection for 'the purpose ot promotion also affords chances of abuse and therefore, some method has to be found which would safe guard against this. It is also necessary to ensure that, in an effort to widen the scope of eligibility for promotion to higher posts immature Officers/Officials are not included and due weight is given to experience. ^ Taking all the above-mentioned points into consideration, it has been decided to adopt the following revised procedure, for selecting Officers/Officials for promotion to selection posts :— (i) A standard of required minimum experience in respect of each kind of higher post should be laid 40

down in terms of years of service in consultation with the Public Service Commission/Subordinate Services Selection Board, except in cases, where a reference to the Commission/Board is not under the rules, required for making such appoint ments. (ii) A list should then be drawn up of oflicers/officials possessing the requisite minimum length of service as laid down above. (iii) Out of the lists so prepared, selection for filling the vacancies which may have arisen, will be con fined to first three candidates for each vacancy. For eveiy vacancy a slab of three suitable Officers/ Officials is to be formed and unless a junior among them happens to be of exceptional merit and suit ability, the senior most will be selected. This does not mean that after selection has been made the other two become unsuitable. For the next vacancy another slab of three will be formed and the two who were not selected for the first vacancy will necessarily have to be included in that slab. It is quite possible that one of them may be selected for the second vacancy. In effect, therefore, after one slab has been formed for the first vacancy, every subsequent slab will necessarily contain two candidates of the slab preceding it.

(iv) The criteria to be observed for making that final selection of Officers/Officials for the vacancies in question will be :—

(a) An officer known to be dishonest will not be promoted. For the rest, each Officer/Official would have to be judged on the basis of ability, industry, personality and bearing experience and aptitude. It is difficult to lay down generally what importance should be attached to each of these qualities. This would have to depend on the nature of the posts in question. 41

(b) While making selection for purpose of promo tion to higher selection posts out of the three suitable candidates for each- post, seniority would . be ignored only in favour of that junior candidate who is considered to be of V exceptional merit. No selection committee need be formed or a written test or an inter view need be introduced for the purposes of selection. 3. In respect of selection to gazetted posts, appeals against non-selection will be disposed of by the Council of Ministers, if they lie to Government. In other cases, where no appeals lie, or where the appeal lies to an authority subordinate to' Government a representation against rejection of the aj)peal ' by' the latter authority for non-selection will also lie to the Council of Ministers. Tile period for such appeals representations to the Council of Ministers shall be one month from the date pf the receipt of the orders represented against. Tliese appeals/representations will normally be disposed of by the Council of Ministers within two months of their receipt. It will not be necessary for the Council of Ministers to consult the Public Service Commission in these cases.

The following procedure in putting up. the case to . the Council of Ministers would be followed. The memorandum, will in addition to the facts of the case, describe the history of service of the Officers/Officials concerned .and also include summary of their personal fijes. The personal files of the Officers/Ofiicials c.oncemed would also be made available to die Council of Ministers for reference, if necessary. The Administrative Secretary, will put up such memoranda through the Chief Secretary, in the Gazette Branch, who would examine ilie case and make such revisions in the draft a!s "may be necessary with a view to erisuririg'thal the case of the represenling officer does not go by default. 4. It is intented that the new principles to be adopted for the selection of Officers/Officials should apply to all" post.s to" be filled by selection, whether ^ithin'the'cadre .of the same service or from one service' to aho'ther even if consultation \vilh the Public'-' Service Commission/Subordinate Services Selection Board, as the case 'may be, is,required. Where a r i t •' • t" r ; <■' ' *• Ir h 42 reference to the Commission/Board is' required under the rules, a list containing the names of Officers/Officials with the requisiie minimum length of service, weeding out the unsuit- ables should be prepared and forwarded to the Commission/ Board keeping in view the fact that if there is one vacancy, three names; if two, four names and if three, five names and so on are recommended. In doing so, the character rolls ii>f the ^ officers recommended and also of those with the pres- Qtibed minimum length of service who are not recommeded, will be forwarded to the Commission/Board.

5. These instructions supersede all previous instructions, If any, on the subject and shall come into force with immediate effect. They should be brought to the notice of all concerned for information and guidance.

Youri faithfully,

«r, 1 am directed to address you on the subject noted above and to say that it has been observed that candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes are not being appointed to the posts reserved for them on the plea that suitable candidate belonging to these classes are gene< rany,^ot available.

non-Scheduled Caste candidates with higher qualifications are taken in preference to Scheduled Caste candidates, although the latter have the advertised qualifications, with the result that the percentage fixed for their entry into service, i. e., 2 per cent is not reached in most of the Departments. In order to ensure that candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes, . Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes get their due share ^ in services, I am directed to request that the candidates belong ing to these classes possessing the minimum prescribed qualifications should not be rejected in favour of non-Scheduled Caste candidates having higher qualifications.

GENERAL Subject Representation of members of the Scheduled, Castes Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes in services in Punjab.

Sir,

it has come to the notice of Government that the instuc- lions issued from time to time regarding the reservation of vacancies for members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes are not observed properly and the formula of rotation prescribed is misinterpreted in many cases. With a view to avoid any confusion the position is further explained below :—

(a) The percentage of reservation in services for members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes is 19 per cent on the basis of their totak population in the Pnnjab. In, addition to this, 2 per cent of vacancies have been reserved for members of Backward Classes recognised by Government from time to time. The instructions further enjoin that before vacancies reserved for Backward Classes arc thrown open to others, they should first be offered to candidates of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, if available. In the same 45

way, before vacancies meant for'Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are thrown open to others owing to non-availability of suitable candidates, they should be offered first to Backward Classes. (Punjab t/ Government letter No. 1945-WG-.'^4/17246, dated the the 17th Marchi 1954).

(b) With a view to ensuring due reprosenfation of members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes in Government services, a block system of recruitment based on. a formula of rotation was prescribed in December, 1953. This formula envisages a system of appointment on the basis of block of five vacancies explained in the following manner.

S4-0 +0-4-0-[-0=5 vacancies orone block.

(S stands for a post reserved for members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Clashes ; and 'O' stands for a post open to all others).

"According to the formula the first vacancy must be reserved for a member of the Scheduled Castes, Sche duled Tribes and Backward Classes irrespective of his position inter se the other candidates and the remaining four vacancies for others. In case it is not possible to fill the first reserved vacancy by appointment of a member of the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Backward Classes this vacancy may be filled by a candidate other than that belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes and the reservation should then be carried on from vacancy to vacancy in the same block until a suitable candidate for one vacancy in the block has been found. If all vacancies in the block are filled by non-Scheduled Castes/Tribes, etc., due to lack of .suitable candidates the vacancy should be carried over to the second block. The reservation should be carried from vacancy to vacancy in efich block until it is possible to fill it by a member of "5 >

Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribe and Backward Class candidate.

term that they can be filled without reference to the Subordinate Services Selection Board or the Public Service Commission and reserved posts carrying a salary of less than Rs. 50, which can be filled without reference to the Subordinate Services Selection Board, k if after proper advertisement and reference to the Employment Exchanges as prescribed in Punjab Government letter No. 3641-WG-51/1948, dated the 2nd June. 1951, they are unable to find a suitable candidate belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes. In the case of posts to be filled through the Subordinate. Services Selection Board or the Public Service Commission, it has been laid down in respect of reserved vacancies that if a suitable candidate belonging to Scheduled Castw, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, is not available the reserved vacancy will be thrown open to all others.

(d) The minimum qualification prescribed for any post are not to be lowered with a view to accommodating any Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes candidate. The candidates belonging to these Castes possessing the minimum prescribed qualification should not be rejected in favour of non-Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes candi dates having higher qualifications. (Punjab Govern ment letter No. 21609-WG-56/66979, dated the Ist/lOth September, 1956).

(c) The reservation of percentage of appointment for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes is applicable to new appointments and not to promotions which are to be governed by considcratiom of seniority and merit alone.

(f) Members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, who are in service and are otherwise qualified and suitable and against whom there are no complaints should not ordinarily be brought under reduction or retrenchment so long as their total strength does not exceed the prescribec' 48

limit. No retrenchment should be made without first obtaining the orders df the Chief Secretary in the Welfare and 'General Branch. (Punjab Government letter No. 4368-PG-50/2951,' dated the • 3rd April, 1950, 'and No. 4153-WG-51/2409, dated the 20th June, 1951 and No. 4854-WG'-52/4164, dated the 2Ist August, 1952.

It may, however, be made clear that a member of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes in Government service will be entitled to this preference only when a non-Scheduled Caste employee is senior ■ to him by not more than one year. In other words a member ofScheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes in Government service should not be retrenched, even ^though he may be junior-most employee in the office or department' boricerned, if at the time of the proposed'retrenchment there' are other temporary employees not more than one year senior to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Back ward Classes employees concerned.. In such a case, the junior most non-Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes • an.d Backward Classes employee;,senior^to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and . Backward Classes employee by not more than one year may be retrenched and the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes employee should be retained. (Punjab Govcrntjient letter No. 3555-WG-53/94027, dated the 14th December, 1953). (g) To encourage members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes to, obtain higher education, 19 per cent of seats in educational, technical and pro fessional institution, controlled by Government should ,be reserved for mepibers pf these classes, and a further 2 per cen.t seat, should be rpserved for members of the Backward Classes. The minimum qualifications, however, required for candidates for these seats should not, however, bq relaxed in' favour of menibers of Scheduled Caste.< , SclVeduled Tfibes and Backward Classes. If a' suffifcicr^t nVimber of'candidates from Scheduled Cai^tes, ScKcfl.ulod Tribes are not available tl;ie sedts 'reserved'fp'r'tliem. bbfore th^' are thrown 49

open to Others, should be offered first to the members of the Backward Classes if available. In the same way, if a sufficient number of candidates of Backward Classes is not available, the seats reserved for them should be offered first to candidates of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. If, however, they are not available, the seats may thus be thrown open to other candidates. (Punjab Government letter No I 1946-WG-54/I7248, dated the I7th March, 1954). 0i

(h) The instructions regarding block-system are also applicable to vacancies to be filled by transfer. (Punjab Government Memo No. 1649-WG-54/23802, dated the 28lh April, 1954). A block register should be mainiained for each and every cadre so that while making recruitment to solitary posts, the block-system is observed. (Punjab. Government letter No. 10067- \VG-.''6/48349, dated the llth/18th June, 1956).

(i) The half-yearly returns prescribed in Punjab Govern ment Memorandum No. 6807-WG-51/3743, dated the 26th September, 1951, should continue to be submitted as usual through the Administrative Secretary concerned.

2. I am to request that these instructions should be followed strictly, in future, while filling new vacancies, and every effort should be made to fill all reserved vacancies by appointment of suitable members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes.

Sir, I am directed to say that the instructions issued,—vide Punjab Government letter No. 13237-WG-II-58/9630, dated the 15th October, 1958, on the subject noted above, may please be treated as cancelled. On reconsideration Government have decided that the following method should be followed for the filling up of the reserved vacancies as between the Scheduled Castes/ Tribes and the Backward Classes ;— (i) As laid down in the Punjab Government letter No. 28400-WG-S-56/8090, dated 9th November, 1956 the first vacancy in each block of 5 vacancies must be reserved for members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes irrespective of his position inter se the other according to this formula out of 100 vacancies those occuring at the following numbers are to be treated as reserved .— l_6_ll_I6—2!-26—31—36 41—46—51—56—61—66 _71—76—81-86-91—96—. This number comes to only 20 whereas according to the reservation it should be 21. It has, therefore, been decided that the 27th vacancy should also be treated as reserved. This will mean that in the 6th block there will be two reserved vacancies i.e. the 26th and the 27th. 56

It has further been decided that.—

(ii) Out of the above 21 vacancies to be filled out of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes candidates, vacancies at serial Nos. 26 and 76 should be filled from amongst the Backward Classes candidates whereas the remaining 19 vacancies should be filled from amongst the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes candidates.

(iii) Previous instructions of the Government regarding carrying over of the reserved vacancies from one block to the other as also on other points should be follow ed strictly. (iv) The percentage of reservation being very small it is likely that at the particular time when the 26th or the 76th vacancy occurs there is no suitable Backward Class candidates available. In such a case the vacancy can be filled from amongst the Scheduled Caste candi dates. The next reserved vacancy should then be given to a suitable Backward Class candidate. This pro- ^ cedure can be continued, (only in respect of the reserved vacancies) till the turn for the next vacancy reserved for Backward Class candidate comes. To be more specific in case a suitable Backward Class candidate is not available for the 26th vacancy, a Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes candidates should be appointed to it and the earliest one out of the 27th or 31st or 36ih or 7Ist vacancy should be given to a Back ward Class candidate as soon as a suitable one becomes available. If no such candidate is available till 71st vacancy then it should no longer be carried over and only the 26th vacancy already reserved for Backward Class candidate will be available to them.

In this connection, it is pointed out that where as Caste Pasi IS included in the Scheduled Castes, Khatris too have got a sub-caste named Passi. An instance has come to the notice of the Government where a Passi (Khatri) has availed of some educational concessions to which, as a matter of fact, he was' not entitled to. All Gazetted Officials are requested to ensure that a certificate of Caste IS issued to the right persons. You are further requested to examine the cases of those Government servants whose Caste is Passi (Khatri) to see whether any of them has claimed the concession being enjoyed by the Scheduled Caste Pasis.

A few instances have, however, come to the notice of Government where candidates who did not belong to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes managed to get certificates to the effect that they belonged to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes. To check this tendency it has been decided that the issuing authorities may, in the absence of solid proof, and for their satisfacation ask the candidates to produce affidavits about the caste or class to which they belong.

3. I am, therefore, to request that all the Gazetted Ofiicers should ensure, by adopting the aforesaid means, if nece ssary, that these certificates are issued to the right persons only.

I am directed to say that for some time back the question of grant of travelling allowance to Scheduled Castcs/Scheduiei Tribes candidates called for interview and written tests in con nection with their appointment to posts under Government has been engaging the attention of Government. The Governor of Punjab has been pleased to decide that when Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes candidates are called for interview for appoint ment to Class III and Class IV advertised posts, the recruiting authority other than the Punjab Public Service Commission may allow such candidates single 3rd Class rail fares, chargeable by Passenger train, by the shortest route from the railway station nearest to their normal place of residence or from which they actually performed the journey whichever is nearer to the place of interview and back to the same station, provided the distance travelled by rail each way exceeds fifty miles. No extra charges if any, incurred for reserving seat/sleeping berth in the train will, however, be reimbursed to the candidates. As regards the road journeys between stations not connected by rail, the recruiting authority may allow such candidates actual bus fares arc road mileage at the lowest rate for Government servants as admissible under Punjab Civil Services Rules Volume III (T.A. Rules), whichever is less, provided the distance covered by road is more than 20 miles each way. Candidates called for written tests on the basis of which appointments to such Class III-and Class IV advertised posts are made shall also be paid T.A. accordingly. Such candidates will however, be entitled to T.A. subject to 61- the condition that the written teat and any interview that may also be necessary is held at one and the same station and on the same or adjacent days so that the candidate gets travelling allowance for only one journey to and from the place of sele ction. ' 24. It hai further been decided that the orders mentioned above will apply to the candidates of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes called through the Employment Exchanges for interview/ written test for appointment to Class III and Class IV advertised posts.

To All Heads of Departments, Commissioners of Divisions, Deputy Commissioners and the District & Sessions Judges in the Punjab and the Registrar, High Court, Punjab. Dated Chandigarh, the 6th March, 1961. Subject:—Representation of members of Scheduled Castes/ Tribes and Backward Classes, in service in Punjab. Sir, I am directed to refer to Punjab Government letter No. 28400-WG-S-56/8090, dated the 9lh November, 1956, wherein it is stated that with a view to ensuring due represeotation to members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes in Government service recruitment on a Block System based on a formula of rotation is to be made and that the first vacancy is to be reserved for a member belonging to these Castes/Classes irrespective of his position inter se the other candidate and the remaining four vacancies for others. The instructions further enjoin that in case it is not pxissible to fill the first reserved vacancy by appointment of a candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste/Tribe or Backward Classes, this vacancy may be filled by a candidate other^than the one belonging to Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Backward Classes and the reservation be carried on from 62 vacancy to vacancy in the same block until a suitable candidate for the vacancy in the block has been found. According to the existing practice, if the services of a Government servant belong ing to Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Backward Classes are termi nated, the resultant vacancy is included in the normal pool of vacancies and is filled up in accordance with the Block System. It has been observed that in this way, the underlying idea of giving due representation to members of Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Backward Classes is not achieved. With a view to safeguard the interests of the members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes it has been decided that if the services of a Government Servant belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes or Backward Classes are terminated the resultant vacancy should not be included in tlie normal pool of vacancies to be filled in accor dance with the Block System but should be filled upon an adhoc basis from the candidates belonging to these castes and classes. In oiher wards the intention is that the posts vacated by members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes should remain earmarked and be filled up by members belonging to these Classes. 2. There will not be any practical difficulty in finding suit able candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Back ward Classes in so far as non-technical posts are concerned. However, for the technical posts and those requiring specialised training or qualifications, suitable personnel possessing requisite experience and qualifications may not be available. Therefore, in order to avoid any administrative inconvenience be keeping these posts in abeyance for an indefinite period, such posts may be filled up by candidates other than those belonging to Scheduled Castes/iribcs and Backward Classes on the condition that when ever suitable persons belonging to such Castes/Classes are available and there is need for filling up a new vacancy, the members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes should be given their earlier quota for making up their deficiency arisen out of non-availability of their Technical persons at that time. 3- The receipt of this communication may please be acknow ledged.

Sir, I am directed to_ say that since the declaration of National emergency the question of effecting the maximum possible expenditure has been under the consideration of the State Government and they have come to the conclusion that m spite of the measures taken in this connection departments _ arc carrying an excess of ministerial moreetficientmf.rl Jrr conductreduced of work, in the Government interest of alsoeconomy considers as well that as emergency requires that the Government employees should make strenuous efiorts and exert themselves more to increase the hithertofore.mrhL^r They areand further above theof the work view load that norms an prescribedessential step towards streamlining of the present procedures would"?be the general adoption of the single file system between the Heads -.Ir? Administrative Secretaries. It lias the tollowing^ lines decided ;— now that action should be taken on' I; Existing Staff—

0. the Heads ofMinisterial Departments staff (including in the Secretariat the offices and of theDivisional offices Engineers) both on the Plan and Non- subjectr, h?J fto the exceptions indicated belowper cent on an flr/-/ioc basis (i) This reduction should be worked out on the basis of the sanctioned strength as it stood on the 1st of November, 1962, as well as of posts sanctioned after the i St November, 1962. Whether for work connec ted with the Emergency or otherwise and will include the reduction made since the 1st November, 1962 m pursuance of the campaign for economy 15 per cent 69

reduction it has to be added and has been laid down as the minimum and in case greater reduction IS possible in any department this should be effected accordingly by the Department concerned. (ii) No reduction will, however, be made in the case of members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes % and Backward Classes and they will not be retrench ed or reverted to lower-position, in pursuance of the present economy measures. The extent of over all reduction (15 per cent) would as a result, be less by the number of the posts held by the member of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes. Moreover, if any member of these castes etc. have already been retrenched or reverted because of the economy measures adopted since the 1st November, 1962 they should be restorted to their original posts. (iii) The reduction of 15 per cent need not, unless, it is feasible, be applied to supporting staff like steno- typists/stenographers, Personal Assistants, etc. as their strength is determined on the basis of the number of officers and branches. (iv) There will be no reduction in the strength of Assistant, section officers in the Secretariat. (v) In respect of Superintendents, Deputy Superinten dents etc., the norm regarding the number of offici als to be supervised by them will remain unchanged as per example Superintendent in the Secretariat will continue to superwise 5 to 7 Assistants as before. Consequential adjustments to that extent may be carried out immediately.

(vi) The aforesaid reduction of 15 per cent should be given effect to from 1st April, 1963, the precise ex tent being approved by the Finance Department.

-h (vii) The Heads of Departments should also examine immediately the possibility of reduction in the strength r

70 oftheir subordinate offices and send their report to the Chief Secretary in the Emergency Branch withm one month of the receipt of this letter. n. Retrenchment and Re-absorption— (i) The reversions or retrenchments which may be nes- cessary as a result of the reduction in the strength of the staff should be carried out strictly on the basis of seniority namely, the junior most person in any particular organisation should be reverted or consider ed surplus as the case may be subject to the provision of para 2 (ii) above. (ii) The services of temporary officials rendered sur plus as a result of the proposed reduction should be dispensed with straightway after giving them the usual notice and an intimation about their retrench ment should be sent to the Public Service Commis- Services Selection Board, as well the Chief Secretary within a fortnight. (iii) In the case of permanent staff the pay and grade ad missible to them in their substantive capacity will on re-absorption have to be protected. The perma nent staff which becomes surplus (even after adjust ments on substantive posts against which they hold a hen) shield be allowed to continue under inti mation to Commission/Board as well as the Chief Secretary within a fortnight. (iv) It is intended that retrenched staff should be given preference in absorption in new posts. For filiine all nevy vacancies whether through Public Service Commission, or the Subordinate Service Selection Board, the first priority therefrom be given to the permanent officials who are rendered surplus bv the continuance of emergency to the various offices pending absorption. The second priority will be given to retrenched temporary officials; The Chief Secretary s office will co-ordinate this work and when any vacancy has been filled, directly or through the A. Public Service Commission/Subordinate Services 71 Selection Board, that office should be informed. r III. Work-load for Additional Staff. 4. (i) For future additional staff the norm obtaining in the different departments in respect of receipts per day to be dealt with by each Assistant/dealing hand should be deemed to have been increased by 50 percent subject to the conditionihat receipts requir ing less than five minutes to deal with should not be counted. This means that for calculating addi tional staff, an assistant in the Secretariat who was previously expected to dispose of 8 fresh receipts per day would now be required to dispose of 12 fresh receipts per day, the receipts requiring less than five minutes to deal with not being included in these 12 receipts. (ii) The existing staff will also have to give the increased out turn referred to above before additional staff can be sanctioned.

(iii) The Assistant Section Officers in the Secretariat will be required to deal with 18 receipts per day excluding receipts which can be disposed of in less than five minutes. IV Single File System (i) Government have decided that as a basic principle the single file system should be fully adopted between the Head of Department and the Administrative Secretary. Any exception, which is considered to be absolutely essential should be determined by the Administrative Secretary concerned in consultation with the Chief Secretary. For this purpose a list of essential exceptions should be drawn up immediately by the Administrative Secretary and referred to the Chief Secretary within a fortnight. (ii) The switch over to single file system is also to be given effect to from 1st April, 1963 in respect of 72 Departments whose heads are located at Chandigarh. As regards other Heads of Departments, arrange ment should be made to shift their offices to Chandi garh as far as possible. (iii) Any reduction in staff in the Secretariat which is feasible \' on account of adoption of single file system should be effected over and above the ad-hoc reduction of 15 per cent specified in para (ii) above. (iv) The retrenchment of staff and its consequential re- absorption should be effected in accordance with the producer laid down in para 3. The reduction so effec ted should be intimated to the Chief Secretary within one month of the receipt of this letter. (v) Lastly, it has also been decided that the entire posi tion should be reviewed after six months in order to consider \yhether any changes or modifications are ! necessary in regard to any of the items specified in this letter. (vi) The receipt of this communication may please to be acknowledged.

Sir, With reference to your letter No. 72/P&G/63/23716, dated the I8th May, 1963, on tlis subject noted above, I am directed to state that although the State Government have agreed to the adoption of economic criterian other than caste for the classifica tion of the people of the State, as Backward Class yet they have reserved witli them the right of declaring of any class/commu nity as'Backward' from time to time on the basis of their social backwardness. In their case the ceiling of the annual income would be Rs. 1,800 per annum. Therefore, these classes would be entitled to the benefits allowed to Backward Classes, from the dates they are declared 'Backward'. Further the classes/com munities declared as 'Backward' by the Government so far, would continue to be treated as such provided their family income does not exceed Rs. 1,800 per annum.

2. The candidates who want to a^il of the concessions admissible to 'Backward Classes' should be required to produce affidavits in the forms given in Annexure I & II.

This concession was further extended in resnect of examination conducted by the Board. 2. A question arose whether the application/examination fee concession allowed by the State Government to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes was admissible to mem bers of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes of all ^3 States in the country or to persons residing in the State of Punjab alone. The matter has been considered by the Govern ment and it has been decided that the concession allowed by the State Government to Scheduled Castes/Tribes will be admissible to Scheduled Castes/Tribes belonging to all the States in the country but the concessions to Backward Classes is admiss^le in the case of members of the Backward Classes of the Punjab State alone.

Subject :—Economy in expenditure-reduction in Ministerial Staff etc.-

I am directed to invite a reference to Punjab Government Finance Department Circular letter No. 2295-B&C-63/283I, dated the 22nd March, 1963, on the subject noted, above, and to say that a question has arisen as to whether on repromotion the employees who were reverted as a result of the economy measures should rank junior to the members belonging to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, who were allowed protection, vide para2.11 (of these instructions notwithstanding the fact that the former were senior to the latter before their reversion.)

2. The matter has been examined and it has been decided that the officials, who were reverted as a result of the implementa tion of the instructions referred to above, and who were senior to the members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, should be restored their original seniority on subsequent promotion. The intention behind the protection provided to the members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes was to prevent them from reversion etc. and it would not be equitable that they should also be allowed the benefit of added seniority in the promoted rank. 82

Sir, I am directed to invite a reference to Punjab Government letter No. 6486-5^0-11-63/19193, dated the 12th September, 19^3, wherein provision for reservation of ten per cent of th3 higher posts to be filled by promotion for the members of Scheduled Castes and other Backward Classes had been made.

2. Government have since then been receiving references from several quarters seeking clarification in regard to the implementation of the said decision. After careful considera tion of the matter, it has now been decided that:—

(a) The said decision should be applied to all promotion posts already vacant on 12th September, 1963, or falling vacant thereafter. (b) The reservation should not imply that 10 per cent of the total posts reserved for promotion in any cadre have to be filled by Scheduled Castes personnel in the sense that all existing/future vacancies will be filled up by Scheduled Castes Tribes and other Backward Classes candidates until their share in higher services comes upto 10 per cent. (c) This provision of reservation applies to all State services including Class I, II, III and IV posts, the only exception being All India Services. (d) This reservation should apply even in the case of short term leave vacancies unless it is likely to involve unnecessary dislocation of work in different offices and avoidable expenditure and inconvenience due to mid-year transfers etc. (e) So far as Scheduled Castes/Tribes are concerned the very first vacancy existing on/arising after the 12th September, 1963 should be treated as reserved for them and only, if no official is available for promotion against the vacancy reserved for them in. the first block of 10 vacancies a candidate belonging to other Backward Classes may be selected in preference to the 85 remaining officials against one such post only out of one hundred since the reservation for other Backward Classes may not exceed 1 per cent. However, if Scheduled Castes/Tribes candidates are available to liil one out of every ten vacancies, the specific reservation in favour of other Backward Classes should be the 51st vacancy. {iifOne reserved vacancy should be carried over to the ^ next blockUIVVIV of ten vacancies...... in case- - it cannot<-ri be'P filled up wiihin any block of ten posts, thus, it no Scheduled Castes/Tribes/Backward Classes candidate is promoted against any of the first 10 vacancies the number of vacancies available to such candidates in the following block be two. (g) In case an out of turn promotion has alr-eady been given to a candidate belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes or Backward Classes against a rese rved vacancy and then in the same block it happened to be the turn of a candidate belonging to the said Castes/Classes for promotion, such candidate should not be ignored on the ground that 10 per cent reser vation has already been exhausted. 2. The receipt of this communication may please be acknowledged.

Subject.—Reservation of seats in Educational/Technical and ■t' Professional Institutions for Admission to members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes. Sir, I am directed to invite a reference to Punjab Governmentletter No. 1946-WG/54/I7248, dated the 17th March, 1954, on the subject cited above and to say that at present 19 percent of seats in educational/technical and professional instit- lons controlled by Government are reserved for members of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes and further 2 per cent seats are reserved for members of other Backward Classes. The j . reservation of 19 per cent of seats for Scheduled Castes/Sche- 7^ duled Tribes was based on the percentage of their population ' v«-a-vw the total population of the State

• 2. According to the latest Census figures, the population of the Scheduled Castes has registered an increase, of one per cent vis-a-vis the total population of the State in that they now form 20 per cent (instead of 19 per cent) of the total popula- ' lion of Punjab. As such, it has been decided that reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes/Schcdulded Tribes in the Educational/ Technical/Professional institutions should be raised from 19 per cent to 20 per cent. The position will, therefore, be as follows:— ' (1) 20 percent of seats in educational, technical and professional institutions controlled by Government will be reserved for members of Scheduled Castes . and Scheduled Tribes. (2) A further 2 per cent of these seats will continue to be reserved for the members of the other Backward Glasses. . . 87 (3) Minimum qualifications required of all these vacancies will as heretofore, relaxed in favour of members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes. K (4) If a sufficient number of candidates from Scheduled ^ ^ Castes and Scheduled Tribes ^ vacancies reserved for them, as heretofore, will be offered first to candidates of other Backward Classes if avilable, and vice-versa, before throwing I them open to other candidates.

Sir, - I am directed to invite reference to letter No. 10i81-4WGI-63/795, dated the 14th January, iy04, on the subject noted above. 88

2. Your attention is invited to sub-paras 2 (e) (f) and (g) in which a mention has been made of the block of 10 vacancies in the promoted cadre and it has been laid down that the first Vdcancy existing on or arising after the 12th September, 1963, when instructions were circulated on the subject, vide Punjab Government letter No. 6485-5GW1I-63/I9I93, should be considered as reserved vacancy for the Officers/Official belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes. The mention of this block of 10 vacancies has been made with a view to ensure 10 per cent reservation of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes in the promoted cadre as also to specifying the number of vacancy which has to be considered as reserved for them. This should not be interpreted lo mean that an ojficerf official belonging to Scheduled CastesjTribes and Backward Classes must fall in the first 10 candidates invariably to be eligible to the first reserved vacancy in the block. The reservaiion for the members of these classes is governed bv the policy letter issued on the I2th September, 1963, mentioned above. It states that subject to the conditions that the person to be considered must possess the minimum necessary qualification and he should have at least a satisfactory record of service, an Officer/Official belonging to these classes shall be able to draw benefit out of this special reservation for these classes.

3. To illustrate the above point, if there is no official of the Scheduled Castes placed at a position say 73rd in the list prepared for piomotion to the higher posts and a vacancy arises therein, he would have precedence over the other 72 officials to benefit out of the first vacancy that occurs on or after 12 September, 1963. His turn would not be withheld merely for the faet that his number on the select list is not in the first ten.

Sir, I am directed to refer to you to the subject noted above and to say that if has been brought to the notice"of the Govern ment in the Welf^are Department that since the issue of Punjab Government letter No. 6486-5WGII-63/19193, dated the 12th September, 1963, some of the departments have changed their departmental rules for promotion from one post to another.

Copy of letter No. 11394—4WGI—63/11241,dated 18th June, 1964 from the Secretary to Government, Punjab, Scbedulel Castes and Backward Classes Department to all Heads of Departments etc. etc. Subject—Classification of certain Classes of people as Backward • Classes, other than the Scheduled Castes ani Scheduled Tribes—Definition of the term Tainily'. I am directed to say that consequent upon the issue of instructions contained in P.G. letter No. .2662-5WGU-63/ 6934, dated the 20th April, 1963, on the subject noted above, a question has arisen as to what should be the definition of a family, as used in the aforesaid communication for the purpose of determining as to whether a particular individual is entitled to claim concessions admissible to Backward Classes,

2. Hie point has been examined and it has been decided that the term 'family* in this context should mean an indivi dual's wife, legitimate children and step-children risiding wlffi and wholly dependent upon him. It would include in addition, parents, sisters and minor brothers, if risiding with and wholly dependent upon him. Family would not include an adopted mother, itep-mother and such other adventitious dependents. .• * . \ I . "' 3. To confirm to the economic criteria forming basis of backwardness an individual who could not be treated as a 99 member of an economically backward family before getting an independent employment cannot - become economically backward by virtue of the said employment on account of his emoluments being less than the prescribed limit, that is in other words, he cannot be treated as a separate head of' the family merely on account of becoming an earning member instead of purely a dependent member of a family. The position will, however, be different, if on account of a person's marriage or otherwise he orfshesets up a separate home and is no longer a part of the former house-hold. In that case that person would be regarded as a distinct head of family and may get any benefits of being economically backward when his or her income is below the prescribed limit.

4. The person who belongs to a Backward Class on account of his income being below Rs. 1,000 per annum or to a Backward Caste when his income does not exceed Rs. 1,800 per annum would cease to enjoy the concessions admissible to Backward Classes on income basis when his' son, or daughter gets some gainful employment to supplement the earnings of the family group resulting in the income going beyond the pres cribed limit. If, however, the son, daughter sets up a separate home due to marriage or otherwise that persons would be treated as a distinct head of family and both he/she and the family left by him/her would be entitled to the benefits accruing on account of economic criterion for the- socially backward classes.

.I am directed to state that instances have repeatedly come to notice of the Government where persons who do not actually belong to the Scheduled Castes or the Scheduled Tribes manage to get certificate to the effect that they belong to these castes or tribes and thus get the benefits admissible to theiScheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. Such instances have occurred both in, the case o.P appointments to vacancies reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Government services as also in the matter of grant of post-matric scholarships to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. 2. It)will be appreciated that this is an, unsatisfactory state of affairs and that the position has to b.e improved. Whenever a non-Scheduled Castes or non-Scheduled Tribes person gets the benefits intended.for one belonging to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe, he not only receives an undeserved facility but, what is worse, thereby keeps out a genuine Schedu led Castes or Scheduled Tribes candidate (who really deserves that facility) from making use or the facility meant for him. 3.

It has been observed that in certain cases DeDarfmentnl promotion mfer^ alia depends on qualifying in some presSed test (e.g,) post or an Assistant is filled up as a result of a t?st of 10 G * the Clerks conducted by the S.S.S. Board. ;For appearing in these tests, candidates are recommended on the basis of senior!- ty after completing a minimum number of years of service accord ing to the provisions in the service rules. It may be that in certain cases there are no candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes, who could be re- commended for taking up this test on the basis of seniority. The obvious consequence would be that the reserved vacancy Jt would be left unfilled for want of duly qualified official belong ing to these backward classes.

# 3. With a view, therefore, to removing such difficulty, it is ^ hereby laid down that the various Departments should recom mend twice the number of candidates for a single post reserved exclusively for official belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes even though they do not come within the seniority of the total number of officials who have to be re- •• commended for a particular test, provided the minimum qualifi cations and experience required for eligibility to take up the test and are not relaxed in any case.

From The Economic and Statistical Adviser, Punjab. U. O. No. 17282-ESAa)-64/733, dated 19th August, 1964. Subject.—Declaration of certain Classes as Backward Classes reservation of seats in Departmental promotions to the members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes. 1. E.S.A. has sought,—vide PUC, Government clarification .on the following two points.— (i) Whether pro/or/wa promotion in absentia given to a Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Backward Classes candidate against 10 per cent posts reserved for departmental pro motion for thes^ castes over the head of other govern ment ser/ants neets the required reservation of 10 per cent posts in d^artmental promotions or physical appointn ent of sdch a person to reservation post is required. E.^/y. is of the view that this reservation means actual Appointment of such a person with neces sary quali^ations.- (ii) Whetherjlmembers of all Backward Classes contained in the Sdjiedule of Backward Classes to our Constitu ■7^ tion or the Classes subsequently declared Backward Classes by .the State Government are entitled to these benefits if the income of the family exceeds Rs. 1,800- per annum. 2. Relevant instructions of Punjab Government regarding reservation for members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes in promotion cases maybe seen at G/11-15. 109

It is not clear whether or not the proforma promotion given X to a Scheduled Caste/Tribe candidate against reserved posts meets the requirement of 10 per cent reservation for such candi dates, but office is of the view that proforma promotion given ir in such cases should be considered as to meet the requirement of reservation, for in such cases such a candidate would rank senior to the candidates who might be otherwise senior to him simply because of this reservation. It does not matter whether he actually joins on the post to which he is promoted or remai ned on deputation on some other service.

3. As regards the other point raised by E.S.A. it may be stated that the condition of annual family income of Rs. 1,800 per annum applied to only those classes which have been declared Backward by the Punjab Government and does not apply to the Scheduled Castes/Tribes which are recognised by our Constitu tion, and facilities meant for them irrespective of their family income.

« Subject,—Reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes/Tribes in Technical, Educational and Professional Institutions. I am directed to refer to P.O. letter No. 1637-WGI-ASOII- 64/4289, dated the 6th/13th March, 1964, on the Subject cited above and to convey the following clarifications and decisions of the State Government for necessary implementation : (i) 20 per cent reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be collective for them with- * out any distinct percentage inter se between them. There is 2 per cent separate reservation for other Back ward Classes. Before the quota for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is thrown open to others for want of adequate number of candidates from these castes and tribes, it shall be in the first instance, offered, for students belonging to other Backward Classes and vice versa. It will be only if the requisite number of students is not available for filling the quota of reserved vacancies from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes, that the unutilized seats will be added to the general pool of vacancies to be filled ex clusively on merit. (ii) It is understood that there is minimum qualifying standard for admission to various institutions. Students belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes should be eligible for admission to the reserved seats if they attain this minimum standards without any reference to the gap between their marks and the marks of the last person admitted to the open seats.

(iii) Where admission are restricted to candidates who obtain a certain minimum percentage of marks and not merely the passing of a certain examination, there should be a 5 per cent reduction in marks for the Scheduled Ill

Castes and Scheduled Tribes provided that the lower percentage prescribed does not fall below the minimum required to pass the qualifying examination. These instructions were issued in 1955 for a period of 5 years. It has been decided that this should be continued till ir further revision.

(iv) According to the existing instructions, maximum age limit in respect of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, other Backward Classes and Vimukat Jatis for admission to these institutions has been raised by 3 years in case where such a maximum has been prescribed. The Stains quo has to continue.

Circular letter No. 6261/ WG-53/62307, dated 21st August, 1953, it was, inter alia, laid down that the concessions regarding reservation in Government services available to Scheduled Castes/Tribes will also be allowed to the members of these Backward Classes. The extent of this reservation was further prescribed,—vide P. G. Order No. I945-WG-54/17246, dated 17th March, 1954, at 2% in the vacancies at the time of recruitment in various services under the State Government. As Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes were treated as one category as opposed to other generally, it was enjoined that before a reserved vacancy was thrown open to others, it was to be 112 offered to a candidate of the Backward Classes in case none from the Scheduled Castes/Tribes was available at his turn and vice versa. 2. With a view to ensuring that due-reservations were made for the Scheduled Castes/Tribes in recruitment to Government services, the position of each reserved vacancy was assigned to them vis-a-vis Backward Classes, vide Government Circulars issued from time, to time. Thus, in a set of 100 vacancies the first one in a block of 5 was directed to be reserved for the members of Scheduled Castes Tribes and the 27th and 77th for Backward Classes. So far as adjustment of reserved vacancies of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes inter se is concerned, it was laid down that if at a particular position, a candidate belonging to a particular class was not available, the vacancy was to be offered to the candidate of the other class and at the actual turn of the latter, the reservation was due to be considered for the former category. If the reserved vacancy could not be filled up in this way,- it was to be carried over from block to block,, not more than reserved vacancy being carried over in all to the succeeding block.

3. Consequent upon the adoption of economic criterion for backwardness,it was noticed that the above concession worked in favour of the Backward' Classes to a far greater extent than it was anticipated. The percentage of Scheduled Castes/Tribes in services did not record any appreciable increase during the last decade or so, whereas the backward classes comparatively gained out of this concession in a larger number than was warranted by the popula tion figures of backward classes determined by caste alone. No periods having been laid dowri for the determination of percentages up to the reservation for each category of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, the various, departments in the past, in fact, granted benefit to. members of Backward Classes as and when-a reserved vacancy arose for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and none belonging to such Castes/Tribes was available.

4. With a-view to ensuring that the percentage of reserved vacancies for Scheduled Castes/Tribes does not suffer on account of absorption-of members of other Backward Classes in. the posts reserved for Scheduled Castes/Tribes, the preference over others generally given to Backward Classes in the event of non-availability 113

of Scheduled Castes/Tribes against a reserved vacancy for them and vice versa is hereby withdrawn. It has been further decided that if a reserved vacancy is not filled by a candidate belonging to the particular category for which reservation is made, it would either be carried forward to the next block in accordance with He current instructions and if that is not possible, it would be thrown open to others generally.

Reservation for the members of Sheduled Castes/ Tribes and Backward Classes in promotion. Will the Secretary to Gevernment, Punjab, Scheduled Castes/ Backward Classes Department please refer to the Subject cit.d abo\e ? 2. Tt was decided,—v/We P.G. letter No. 6486-5 WGII-63/ 19193, dated 12th September, 1963 that except in All-India Services, 10 percent of the higher posts to be hi ed by promotion should be reserved tor the members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes. Statistical Organisation, ,the first vacancy after September, 1963 of the District Statistical Officer/Research Officer in the scale of Rs. 250/630 was offered to a member of the Scheduled Caste, who was given prof>rma promotion Since then there have been six such vacancies of District Statis tical Officer/Research Officers which were earmarked for appointment by promotion. Against these Assistant/Scrutiny Inspectors were promoted and three Technical Assistants/Scrutiny Inspectors were given Proforma promotion. Now one of the Technical Assistants vyho -is a member of the Scheduled Caste has represented that the P. G. instructions dated 12th September 1963 the next vacancy of District Statistical Officer/Research ^ ved for the members of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, as nine Technical Assistants/Scrutiny Ins pectors (including 3 who have been given proforma promotion) have already been promoted as District Statistical Opc®rs/ Research Officers. His representation has been considered and it has been observed that P. G. instructions m question provide for the first vacancy in a block of 10 vacancies to be reserved for the members of Scheduled Caste, Schedul^ed Jribes and Backward Classes. It is not clear who as to whether or not the Technical Assistants/Scrutiny Inspectors who were given proforma promotion against these posts are also to dered to have been promoted against vacancies and m the case 120 • - of the type referred to above the next vacancy is required to be reserved for members of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe and Backward Classes or a vacancy is to be reserved for - members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes only after 9 Technical Assistants/Scrutiny Inspectors ' have actually been promoted against vacancies. Since the ^ P. G. instructions are not clear on this point, he is requested that the position may be clarified for guidance. •

2. The Advocate-General, Punjab, who was consulted in the matter has recorded the following with which this deoart- mcnt agrees :— ^ "In view of the clear pronouncement of the Supreme Court in A.I.R. 1963 S. C. 649 reservation in services to the Backward Classes on the basis of caste alone will not be permissible. If apart from caste other consideiations are also taken into consideration then It may be permissible. The order should, therefore be so framed that caste alone should not be the basis."

authorities.

Sir, 124 posts reserved for Scheduled Castes etc. to the nearest Employ ment Exchange in the prescribed form reproduced below:— (i) Name of the office with headquarters. (ii) Name of the post (whether temporary or permanent). (iii) Place of appointment, (iv) Scale of pay. (v) Minimum educational qualifications required. (vi) Other qualifications!

(vii) Remarks. They were also advised to approach the District Employ ment Exchanges to suggest suitable names from their own registers, in the event of failure of Local Employment Exchange to recommend any suitable candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes. The underlying object in issuing these instructions was that no efforts should be spared to find suitable Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes candidates lest the reserved vacancies might remain unavailed of by them. 2. It has, however, been brought to the notice of the Government that in the requisition forms sent to the Employ ment Exchanges most of the departments/offices omit to men tion the number of vacancies earmarked for members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes and in consequence names of such persons are not recommended by Employment Exchanges. As a result most of the vacancies which could manned by members of such Castes/Tribes/Classes according to the prescribed percentage are lost even those who have had adequate education and training remain unemployed and deprived of the benefit of reservation in services provided by Government. Such tendency on the part of defaulting departments/offices and particularly by district level authorities most undesirable and need be curbed down in the interest of justice and equitable treatment to these backward classes of citizens in the State. 125

3. It is, therefore, urged that all recruiting authorities in general and all district officers in particular should please indicate invariably all reserved vacancies in all of their requisi tions of staff sent to local or district Employment Exchanges so that suitable Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes candidates should be recommended by them even in the case of temporary and short-term vacancies. 4. Please acknowledge receipt.

« Subject:—Reservation in services for members of Sche- , duled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes— Measures for the removal of unemployment among the educated and technically trained members of • such castes/tribes/class. "■

Sir,

I am directed to say that it has been brought to the notice of Government that there are a number of Scheduled Castes/ Tribes and other Backward Classes youth who have had adequate education and technical training but are still un employed for want of timely information and the means to keep themselves aware of the jobs available to them. This * " might be due to their poverty In not being able to purchase newspapers or visit various recruiting centres including employment exchanges or to their staying in the outskirts of urban and suburban areas or in the interior in countryside. The result has been that generally the intake of these classes falls short of the vacancies reserved for them. It, therefore, i appears necessary to take steps to co-ordinate the activities of the various recruiting agencies with a view to ensure better employment for these youngmen.

2. To achieve the above objective, it is necessary that the field staff of the Welfare Department should give postive h)lp. It has, therefore been decided that the following steps should be immediately taken— >•-

(i) You should keep yourself well informed of the vacan cies at District/Tehsil level by establishing necessary liaison with the varions departments and officers, private and public undertakings, employment ex changes and bodies etc. • (li) On the other hand, you should establish, personal contact with the unemployed youth among Sche- -^1 duled Castes, Tribes and other Backward Classes. ■ It would not be difficult because the number of such persons is extremely limited in a District/ Tehsii. 137

(iii) After the above steps have been taken, it would only be a matter of conveying necessary timely information to the persons concerned about the \ _ vacancies that come to your notice. This will . mean setting up of small service cell in every Tehsil and District Welfare Office. 3. This communication may be acknowledged and com- *" pliance with these instructions may be strictly ensured. Review of the working of this system should be held every six months.

Yours faithfully,

Reference letter No. 1016-4WGI-66, dated the 16th February, 1966, on the subject noted above. 139

2. Vide letter under reference Government have decided that the members of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and backward classes who are in service and are otherwise quali fied suitable and against whom there are no complaints, should not be reduced in rank or retrenched as long as their total strength does not exceed the prescribed limits of reservation in a cadre.

3. The cadre strength of Patvvaris in this district is 255. Therefore, in the matter of retrenchment protection can bo given to 51 members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and to 5 members of Backward Classes. While the number of Patwaris belonging to Backward Classes is more than 5, the number of those belong ing to Scheduled Castes/Tribes is less than 51. It may kindly be advised whether protection in the matter of retrenchment can be given to the excess number of members belonging to Backward Classes against the quota reserved for members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes. 4. As retrenchment of Patwaris is taking place on a large T scale in this district, it is requested that advice in the matter may kindly be conveyed immediately.

Dated Chandigarh, the 25th May, 1966. 5w6yecr.-Reservation in matter of appointjnents and pro motion in services for the members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes in public sector undertakings and other autonomous bodies.

Sir, As you know under clause 4 of Article 16 of the Consli- tution of India, it is within the competence of the Stale 149

Government to make any provision for the reservation of appoint ments for posts in favour of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion of the State Government, is not ade quately represented in the services. Reservations have accordingly, been made in services in the State for these backward classes. At the initial stage of recruitment 20 per cent has been laid down for scheduled castes/tribes and 2 per cent for other backward classes determined socially and economically and at the time of promotion in services, the relevant reservation is to the extent of 10 per cent—9 per cent for scheduled castes/tribes and 1 per cent for other backward classes. 2: Government have been - considering the proposi tion for promulgating these reservations in public sector undertakings a\d other autonomous bodies. For the reason that employment under the corporations and autonomous bodies is not employment under the State, the Government could not lay down any reservation. But it is both appropriate and desirable if the corporations and autonomous bodies are requested to make reservations for scheduled castes/tribes and other backward classes in the.same manner as has been done in the services in the State. It is relevant to point out here that the Government of India, on the recommendations of Central Advisory Board of Harijans Welfare have already advised the various Central Ministries to ensure that public sector undertakings and autonomous bodies lay down reservations for the backward classes in services.

3. The State Government have certain public sector under takings, such as Poultry Corporation, Smnll Scale Industries Corporation, Punjab Financial Corporation, Punjab State Irons Limited, Sugar Co-operative Mills etc. All these undertakings provide growing opportunities for employment. It is important that as in the case of employment in State Services, the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Classes should also be given a fair share of appointment, in these undertakings. 4. I am, therefore, desired to request you to impress upon the managements concerned to follow Government instructions in the matter of reservation, both at the time of initial recruitment and also in promotion in their services. I am further to request you that you may inform this end of the action taken and ask the iuanagements concerned to keep this end informed about the reservations effected. 150

Kindly refer to Punjab Government circular No. 1016-4WGI/ 66, dated 16th February, 1966, on the above subject, for proper , interpretation of instructions laid down therein, the following further elucidation is offered :

Any Scheduled Caste employees working in short-term vacancy which occurs as a result of the occupant having-proceeded on leave or on deputation will on letter's return make way for him. ' -

It is understood that in certain departments posts are created on temporary basis for a limited period and the term is extended from year to year. In such cases the scheduled castes employees ' once promoted are to be given protection only till as such time as these temporary posts last.

In certain departments ad-hoc posts are created for.a limited period for a specific assignment. Some time these posts are ex tended from year to year basis or till such time as such time as the assignment is completed, tn such cases also Scheduled Castejs ^ who have been promoted shall be given protection against retre nchment till such as time the ad-hoc posts continue in the depart ment.

The following illustrations may further be of use— V ^' (i) 'A' member of Scheduled Castes employees is pro moted as a Superintendent in the leave arrangement of 'B' a non-Scheduled Caste employees who has pro- • ceeded on leave for a period of say 2-3 months. No - protection to 'A' will be given and he shall have to —^ vacate the post when 'B' comes. . (ii) "A' Temporary post of Assistant is created for a limited period of 2-3 months to clear the arrears in an office. •' ■ 157

A Scheduled Caste employee if promoted against that post'shall have to be reverted to his original post, on completion of the work. V (iii) In certain departments a number of posts are created on ad'hoc basis for a limited period. In such cases the Scheduled Caste employees shall continue to get !' concession of protection till such time the ad-hoc posts continue in the department.

To All Heads of Departments, Registrar, Punjab High Court. Commissioners of Divisions, and Deputy Commissioners and District and Sessions Judges in the Punjab.

Dated ; Chandigarh, the 3rd August, 1966. Subject :—Representation of members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes in services in Punjab.

Sir, Kindly refer to the instructions contained in Punjab Govern ment circular letter No. 28400-WG.S-56/8090, dated the 9th Novem- ber, 1956, on the above . subject, wherein the rule of "carry over" had been evolved. According to this rule, if it is not W possible to fill the first reserved vacancy by appointment of ^' a member of Scheduled Castes, etc., the reservation should be carried over from vacancy to vacancy in the same block or if necessary to the succeeding block, not more than one vacancy being so carried forward. 158

2 Kindly also refer to Government circular letter No. won—13 (29)-61/5598, dated 6th March, I96I, wherein it "was further laid down that if the service of a Government servant belonging to Scheduled Castes, etc., is terminated, the resultant vacancy should be filled up on ad-hoc basis from candidates being in these castes. These instructions gave rise to what is known as '^ad-hoc appointment formula" to safeguard the inter ests of Scheduled Castes, etc., in the reserved vacancies.

3. The two sets of instructions mentioned above were recently challenged in Civil Writ No. 3063 of 1965 before the High Court of Judicature, Punjab, Chandigarh. Whereas these have been found to be in order, their applicability is circumscribed by the Court's ruling to the extent that with the application of the two formula, the reserved percentage of vacancies" for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes should not exceed 50 per cent of the total vacancies.

4. I am, therefore, to convey that the Government instruc tions issued,—vide aforesaid communication, dated 6th March, 1961, stands modified to the extent that the number of ad-hoc vacancies which give rise to an excess of reservation beyond 50 per cent should be considered as unreserved vacancies.

2. Government have since been receiving references from several quarters seeking clarificat ions on some basic points which cropped up as a result of a :tual implemention of the said policy. After careful consideraticim of the matter the Government have decided to fall completely in line with the policy obtaining in Government of India. On the basis of policy of Government of India, the following decisions are laid down. (1) Class I and II appointments

(a) There will be no reserv ition for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and other Backward Ci asses in appointments made by promotion to a Class II or a higher service or post whether on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness, selection or competitive examinatio n limited to departmental candidates.

(b) In the case of promotio iis made in or to Class I or II on the basis of seniorit subject to fitness cases involving 16Q

supersession of Scheduled Castes/Tribes Officers should be submitted for prior approval of the Minister concerned. (2) Class III and Class IV appointments : A

(a) In the case of Chiss III and Class IV appointments, in grades or services to which there is no direct recruitment, there will be reservationj, at 20 per cent for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and 2 per cent for Backward Classes in promotions made by (i)jSelectioii or (ii) on the results of competitive examinations limited to departmental candidates. Where, hovVever, there is direct recruitment the existing percentage of reservation at the time of recruitment will continu4.

(b) List of Scheduled Cast es/Tribcs and Backward Classes officials should be drawi up to fill the reserved vacancies, officials belonging to hese classes will be adjudged separately, and not al ong with other officials and if they are suitable for pv omotion, they should be included in the list irrespective of their merit as compared to that of other officials. Prom otions against reserved vacancies will, however, continue o be subject to the conditions of minimum necessary qual ifications and satisfactory record of service.

(c) Cases involving superset sion of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes, \ i/ill be reported within a month to the Minister concerne d for information. (3) Appointments to posts for con ducting Research

It is considered that in appj pintments for conducting research or organising, guiding and direljctini research there may be a great deal of difference between the best person available and the one who only possesses thej prescribed minimum qualifica- tions. It is desirable to look fo| Ir the persons with the highest talents and accomplishments rat! Iher than be content with those who may be just adequate. Tl)ae number of such posts is not so large to affect the interef[sts of a considerable number of persons belonging to the Schedi lied Castes/Tribes and Backward 161

Classses. On the other hand, the nature of work is such that if it is done conspicuously well, scientific progress and development of the country will be accelerated. It has, therefore, been deci ded that reservation both at the time of recruitment and at the time of promotions (20 percent for Schedule! Castes/Tribes, 2 per cent for Backward Classes) will not apply in the case of appointments to posts for conducting research or organising, guiding and directing research.

(4) Roster ;

(a) To give proper effect to ihe reservations prescribed every appointment authority will treat vacancies as reserved or unreserved according to model roster laid down in the Punjab Government circular letter No. 2360- 4WGI-64/4860, dated the 24th March, 1964. The roster will be maintained in the form of running account year to year. For example, if promotion in a year stops at point 6 of a cycle promotion in the follow ing year will begin at point 7. (b) If there are only two vacancies to be filled on a particular oxasion, not more than one may be treated as reserved and if there be only one vacancy it should be treated as unreserved. If on this account, a reserved, point is treated as unreserved, the reservation may be carried forward to the subsequent two recruitment years. Thus, where the cadre strength is small say less than 5 and there is one post to be filled by promotion, it need not be treated as reserved but if on this account a reser ved point is treated as unreserved the reservation may be carried forward to the subsequent two recruitment years.

-i-1 3. The officials belonging to Backward Classes will cease to be eligible for reservation in promotion when the annual in come of their family exceeds the prescribed limit of Rs. 1,000 (in case of Backward Classes determined on economic criterion) and Rs. 1,800(in case of socially Backward Classes declared by t Government). 4 The above decisions take effect from the date of issue of these orders. Promotions already made in accordance with 162 the instructions-in-force prior to the issue of these orders, will not be disturbed. The pending cases may be decided immediately in accordance with these instructions.

5. You are requested to bring the above decisions to the notice of all concerned.

The receipt of this communication may kindly be acknow ledged. Yours faithfully, (Sdf-) D. N. DHIR.

2. Class III and Class IV appointments ; *

(a) In the case of Class III and Class IV appointments in grades of services to which there is no direct recruitment » whatever, there will be reservation of vacancies at 20% for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and 2% for Backward Classes 163

in promotions made by (i) selection or (ii) on the results of competitive examinations limited to departmental candidates. ^ (b) Lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes officials should be drawn up separately to fill the reserved vacan cies. Officials belonging to these classes will be adjudged separately and not alongwith other officials, and if they are suitable for promotion, they should be included in the list irrespective of their merit as compared to that of the other officials. Promotions against reserved vacancies will continue to be subject to the candidates satisfying the prescribed minimum standards. (c) There will be no reservation in appointments made by promotion on the basis of seniority subject to fitness but cases involving supersession of Scheduled Castes/Tribes officials, if any, will be reponed within a month to the Minister or Deputy Minister concerned for information. (2) You are requested to bring the above decisions to the T notice of all concerned for strict compliance. (3) The receipt of this communication may kindly be ackno wledged.

(b) "There will be no reservation in appointments made by promotion on the basis of seniority subject to fitness.

2. Government have under consideration and question of modifying the above instructions so that there should be reservation of vacancies irrespective of the fact whether promotion is made by a selection or on the results of the competitive examination or on the basis of seniority subject to litness, and whether or not there is a provision for direct recruitment. Government have, therefore, decided that pending decision of the said policy question no rever sion of members belonging to Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Back-, ward Classes should be effected, till further orders, from the posts of which they have been promoted against reserved vacancies although under the relevant service rules, promotions were required to be made on the basis of seniority subject to fitness and for that matter there should have been no such reservation.

.'Subject Reservation for the members of Scheduled' Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes, in promotion cases.

Sir, I am directed to invite a reference to^ the instructions^ -contained in Haryana Government circular letter No: 2480-SW & BC-67/22979, dated the 10th August, 1967, on the Subject ■cited above and to state that reservation is provided in promotion cases in Class HI and Class IV services to the extent of 20 % for the members of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and 2% for the inembers of Backward Classes. In order to .ensure their proper representati on in these services, in a lot of 100 vacancies/posts those ' occuring at serial numbers mentioned below would fall to the share of "the Scheduled Caste/Tribes and Backward Classes :— 1-6-11-16-21-26-27 (B.C.)-31-36-4l-46-51-56-6I-66-71-76-77(B.C.)- 81-86-91-96, as laid down in the joint Punjab Government circular letter No. 2360-4WG-I-64/4860, dated the 24th March, 1964. These instructions provide one vacancy, in a block of 5 vacancies so as to ensure an overall representation of 22 per cent for these -classes. 213

2. One of the Departments has sought clarification on •some points which are mentioned below. The same have been carefully considered and the necessary elucidation thereto is given > .against each in annotated form Point raised Clarifications (i) If an eligible' Scheduled It is clarified that in case • Castes/Tribes and Backward an eligible Scheduled Classes candidate in' a block Caste/Tribe and Backward of 5 vacancies, say for instance Classes candidate is not in 2nd block commencing from available to fill up the 6 to 10 is not available' for the 6th first reserved vacancy • vacancy and he' becomes- eligible than it may be filled in when the subsequent vacancy in by a candidate other the same'block'arises, should he be than that belonging to given the vacancy at that point the aforesaid Classes and or should this vacancybfe' carried the reservation should overto the third block' commen then be carried on from cing from 11 to 15 orto put it in vacancy to vacancy in a simple'way, for" instance if an the same block as men eligible Scheduled- Caste/Tribe tioned in para 1(b) of candidate-for the' 6th' vacancy letter No. 28400-WG-56/ in the2nd' block is not' available 8090, dated 9-11-1956 and such Scheduled- Castes/ until an eligible can Tribes candidate becomes eligible didate belonging to these when'the 7th' or'8th vacancy has classes for one vacancy in occurred, should he be- given the the block has been very vacancy at which stage he found. If all vacancies becomes eligible or should this in the block are filled up vacancy be carried over to the third by non-Scheduled Castes/ .block ? Tribes/Backward Classes due to lack of eligible candidate from these - classes, the vacancy should thereafter be carried over to the next bloclj! The reservati^ sho^ be cajri^ from vacancy to vacancv in eacH block until it is possible to fill it by a 214

member of Scheduled Caste./ Tribe / Backward Classes,candidate. Thus, if an. eligible candidate belonging to these clas ses;is not available for the 6th vacancy in the 2nd!block and.an eligi ble candidate, of these classes becomes • avail able for the 7th or 8th vacancy it should" be given to him in, lieu of 6th, reserved vacancy. His seriiority, however, win commence from the date he joins the ' 7th or'8th vacancy and not from the 6Ur reserved vacancy: On" the. other hand'^such "vhcancy in a. block ; can be carried over-tothe- next block only ,if an eligible candi date"! bel onging. to Sche duled Caste/Tribe, "and Backward-Classes is not available forifie reserved vacancy m that block. \ (ii) Whether an eligible Reservation in promo-- Scheduled Caste/Tribe and Back tion is provided under ward Class candidate can avail Article 16 (4) of the himself 'of the advantage of Constitution of India. reservation for promotion at This Article empowers every stage of promotion ? the State Go'vernmeht to give due representation to the Backward Classes of citizens which include Scheduled Castes /Tribes and Backward Classes, in posts and services. 215

It may be added that the Haryana Subordinate Services- Selection Board and the other authorities concerned have already concurred in the propo.saI and the approval of the Council of Ministers has also been accorded in respect of it. No further reference to any other authority is, therefore, necessary and the Administrative Departments may proceed to effect the amendment themselves^ without loss of time with intimation to the Chief Secretary in General Services-II Branch. 2. The receipt of this letter may please be acknowledged. English version of letter No. 5874-S\V.l-71/21351-413, dated the 10th December, 1971. ^ Subject :— Reservation for the members of Scheduled Castes,. Tribes and Backward Classes in promotion posts.

I am directed to refer to Harvana Government instructions contained in circular letter No; 4236-4SW & BC-67/30119, dated the 11th October, 1967 and in circular letter No. 2480-SW&BC-67/ 22979, dated the 10th August, 1967 (copies enclosed for ready reference) and to say tliat after further consideration, Government have decided to issue clarification of Government policy on the above subject. 225

2. The Government, therefore, hereby issue the followirit^'. special instructions, for the above purpose (a) Where promotion is made on the basis of selection >- from a slab of 3 officials {i.e. promotion by selection with greater emphasis on merit than on seniority vide' instructions contained in composite Punjab Government . letter No. 9129-G-56/3964, dated the 17th September. 1956 and subsequent communications on the subject), there will be reservation of 20% for the member of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and 2% for Backward Classes. (b) Separate slab should be prepared (i) for officials of Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes and (ii) for other officials. While filling posts reserved for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes, Only officials belonging to these two categories should be considered (separately for each category) and promo-- lions made from amongst them. Officials other than those belonging to Scheduled^,Castes/Tribes or Backward Classes should be promoted similarly out of their own slab. (c) If in any year, the promotion vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Backward Classes cannot be filled be cause of lack of suitable candidates then these vacancies should be carried forward upto three- succeeding years but these should not exceed 45% in any case. Furthermore, a single continuous roster should be maintained in respect of such vacancies so that even if in a given year the total promotion vacancies for all categories are only 1 or 2 and. therefore, no reservation- can be made for Scheduled Castes/Tribes etc. during that year, they should receive their due share during the subsequent years. (d) While filling the promotion posts by reservation, the- minimum standards of qualification and experience as provided in the Services Rules should, however, be adhered to in every case and no relaxation should be made in that regard. •- ' 226 (e) Iq order to provide suitable stages for ensuring 22% reservation (207. for Scheduled Castes and 2% for Backward Classes), the following method should be adopted for filling reserved vacancies in a block of 100 vacancies :—

3-8-13-18-23-28-33-38-43-48-53-58-63-68-73-78-83-i 93-98. In other words, every 3rd vacancy for promotion out of 5 should be treated as reserved for the members of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes, and vacancies occuring at Nos. 15 and 75 should be reserved for the Back ward Classes. (f) There will be no reservation for officials belonging to Scheduled Castes etc. in cases in which promotion is to be made on the basis of seniority subject to fitness. 3^. It^ is requested that these instructions should be complied with strictly in your office and in all the offices under vour control. 4. The receipt of this communication mav kindly be .acknowledged.

Subject ;-r-Reservation for members of Scheduled Castes and Back ward Classes in service—Fixation,of seniority. I am directed to refer to th^composite Punjab Government letter No. 28400-WG-S-56/8090, dated the 9th November, 1956, regarding reservation for members of Scheduled/Backward Classes in Government services and observe as follows. It has come to the notice that in the matter of fixing seniority there has been misinterpretation of the relevant instructions in some instances and members of Scheduled Castes/Backward Classes have been assigned seniority according to the serial numbers of the vacancies reserved for them under" the block syst^ (as indicated below) and not as" they *^ould have been according to- the order of candidates determined by the Public Service Com- - mission/Subordinate Services Selection Board ;— Vacancies reserved for Scheduled A-6-ll-I6-21-26-27*-31-36-41 Castes/Backward Classes in every -46-5I-56-6I-66-71-76-77*- block of 100 vacancies. 81-86-91-96. (♦No. 27 & 77 for Backward- Classes). For example when 8 vacancies were to be filled and the 1st and the 6th were reserved for the members of Scheduled Castes, two Scheduled Castes cajrdid'^tes were placed at serial No. 1 and serial No. 6 respectively in the combined seniority list of the candidates although in the combined merit list prepared by the Public Services Commissiop/Subordinate Services Selection Board their position were lower. 2. It has to be pointed out that this was irregular and interse seniority of ah canaiaaies taken logeiner (i. e. wnether appointed against reserved vacancies or against reserved vacancies or against open ones), must be fixed according to the combined fiierit list and not otherwise. Vacancies assigned to Scheduled castes/tfackward Classes under the block system are so assigned for purpose of reservationonly and are not intended for fixing inter seniority ot the candidates contrary to tneir order in the combined merit list prepared oy the Public Service Com mission/Subordinate Services Selection Board. 3, This may please be not^ for careful compliance so that in future seniority is fixed on this basis in cases in which re served vacancies are filled whether by initial appointment or by 23 2

promotion. Furthermore, all earlier cases in which members of • Scheduled Castes/Backward Classes and other have been assigned • seniority erroneously disregard of the order of candidates in the combined merit list should be reviewed and steps taken to refix V'X seniority cotrecliy. For that purpose it will be necessary that> the persons who will be effected should be given an opportunity ^ of showing cause why their seniority should not be refixed at a j lower place (in accordance with the order in the combined merit list) and such opportunity' should be duly allowed before ro- fijcing seniority. 4. The above instructions, regarding determination interse seniority will, however, apply only in those cases where the de partmental service rules do not provided for seniority being determined from the date of joining or from the date of confir mation or by a method otherwise than the merit determined by the Public Service Commission/Subordinate Service Selection Board. In other works, in all cases, where the services rules have not vet been framed, or wl^e ihe service rules provided for seniority being determined according to the merit laid down Dy ttie Uommission Subordinate Service Selection Board, the seniority of the officials shall be determined in the manner stated above. In other cases, where the service rules specically provided for seni- ority being determined from the date of joining or from the date of confirmation or any other method otherwise than the merit determined by the recruiting autliority, the seniority, shall be determined by such different method.

5. For Haryana Public Service Commission/Subordinate Services Selection Board only

It is requested that when their recommendations for ap pointment to various posts aie sent the position of each candidate in the combined seniority list should also be intimated to the departments concerned so that they can determine the inter- seniority of the candidates in accordance with the order of the candidates in the merit list. '

6. It is requested that these instructions may please br. noted for compliance and the receipt of this letter may be 'acknowledged. <') 233

Subject:—Reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the services under the Public Sector Under takings.

Sir, I am directed to say that considering the growing employ ment iijopportunities under the Public Undertakings and in keep ing with the emphasis laid on securing due share for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in all avenues of Public employ ment, instructions were issued by the Government of India to all Ministries as early as in September, 1957 for providing reserva tions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the services under the Public Sector Undertakings on the lines of the reservations made for them in the Government Services. Though the importance of giving due representation to these communities in the Government Services under the Public Undertakings had been reiterated by subsequent circulars and a majority of the Undertakings had agreed in principle to follow the reservation orders, the intake- of candidates of these communities in the various Undertakings continued to be slow. To remedy the situation, it was decided by the Government in 1969 to issue a formal directive from the President of India to rt' the various Undertakings for securing the compliance of the reservation orders. Accordingly, a draft directive was circulated by the Bureau of Public Enterprises of the Ministry of Finance •i ' - f. to the administrative Ministries in September, 1969 with D.O. letter No. 2 (115)/68-BPE (GM) dated 18th September 1969 (copy enclosed). A revised directive incorporation the lastest instructions on the subject has also been circulated to the admi nistrative Ministries-in February 1971, a copy of which is enclosed for the information of the State Governments. 2i The State Governments are requested to consider adopting similar measures In respect of the Public Sector Undertakings 244 under their control so that these Undertakings follow the same reservation orders as are applicable to posts/services under the State Governments. It is requested that a copy of the direc tive I instructions issued in this regard to the 'Undertakings ^ under the control of the State Government may please be sent /j to this Department.

Yours faithfully, Sdh (S. Krishnan) Deputy Secretary to the Government of India. No. 10/30/72-Est.(SCT) Dated: Chandigarh the 7th October, 1972.

Ministry of Finance Bureau of Public Enterprises Room No. 34—A, North Block. New Delhi, the 18th September, 1969.

My dear, Subject Reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the services under the Public Enterprises. As you may be aware, the question of making reservationa for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the matter of appo intment in Government services and Public Enterprises pursuant \ 245

:to the recommendation (extract enclosed) of the Working Group 1 under the Chairmanship of Shri M.R. Yardi has been accepted by Government. Ministry of Home Affairs have already issued instructions in so far as the reservations for these categories of < employees in the Government services are concerned.

In the^case of Public Enterprises, some of them have already . adopted the principles laid down in respect of Government • services. However, it has been decided by Government that this should be done by all the Public Enterprises and that the j necessary directive for the purpose should be issued to them by the concerned administrative Ministries. Since the wording of this directive is to be done with special care. Bureau of Public Enterprises was required to assist in finalising the precise wording of the directive to be issued. We have since consulted the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Home Affairs and I enclose a draft directive which you could issue to the Public Enterprises under the administrative control of your Ministry/Department (Annexure).

2. I should add in this context that we have been advised -that it may not be possibile to issue any directive in these matters to companies, whose Articles of Association res trict the scope of the directive to be issued only to the conduct of "business" of the company, as distinct from "affairs" ofthe company. We are also advised that before any directive is issued even in the case of companies whose Articles provide for the ' • issue of directive on the "affairs" of the company, it would be necessary to comply with the procedure, if any, prescribed by the Articles for the issue of such directive. For instance, if prior ^, consultation is necessary for the issue of the directive, then the consultation must be held. •i ' 3. In the circumstances, I would suggest that you should in the first instance take steps to issue the directive to the companies, where the existing Articles of Association permit the issue of . directive in these matters, of course, after following the prescri bed procedure. In the case of other companies, I presume that steps are being taken to modify the relevant Article so that President can issue directive on the "Affairs" of the company as already advised 246

in our O.M.No. 2 (124)/69-BPE(GM) dated the 1st September, 1969. After this is done, the directive may be issued to these enterprises as well. 4. In the case of statutory corporations where rule making powers relating to employment, conditions of service and the like vest with the Central Government, the Central Government may make the necessary amendments in the rules to ensure the neces sary reservation. Similarly, in cases wherein the approval of the Central Government is required for making rules relating to service conditions, the incorporation of a suitable provision reserving vacancies for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes may be made a condition precedent to the grant of the requisite approval.

There may also be cases wherein under the requisite statute Government is entitled to issue a directive to the public enter prise by which the necessary reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes can be secured. In such cases, the necessary statutory direction might be issued. If Government has no power to issue any such directive or to frame a rule for ensuring due ' representation to these communities, steps may be taken in con sultation with the Ministry of Law to amend the statute to confer the necessary power on Govrenment. *

5. You will notice that the enclosed draft directive inter- alia assumes that the Public Euterprises have also got Departmen tal Promotion Committes and that they categorise their employees > in to "Out Standing", "Very Good""Good" and like. If any basic difficulty of this nature is encountered in implementing the direc tive, the same may be got examined, in due course. ,\ 6. As you are aware. Prime Minister has recently reiterate^ the need to ensure adequate representation of Scheduled Castes ^ and Scheduled Tribes in various services in Public Enter prises, in- her letter of 25th August, 1969, to your Minister. I may add that Prime Minister has also separately minuted " The responsibility for implementing these directives should be fixed on the Head of the Department in a ^ Yormal manner, both in the administrative Ministries and Public Sector Undertakings. You are, therefore, requested to take steps necessary for this purpose. As envisaged in para 5 of the 247 enclosed draft directive to be issued to the Public Enterprises under your administrative control, an annual report on the implementa tion of the directive should also be required to be submitted by the Public Enterprises to you,., with copies to the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Home Affairs and the Cabinet Secretariat. 7. To facilitate the issue of directive, a few spare copie s are also enclosed. More copies, if required, may be arranged to^ be obtained from the Director, Bureau of Public Enterprises.

Yours faithfully,

Sd/- (A.N. Banerji). DRAFT DIRECTIVE AS WOULD APPEAR AFTER. AMENDMENTS—FEBRUARY, 1972.

To Chief Executives of concerned Enterprises,

Subject.— Reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in appointments in Public Enterprises.

Sir,

The Woking Group set up under the Chairmanshin of Shri M.R. Yardi, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs to study inter aha; the progress of measures for representation of Schedu led Castes in services recommended that the Public Sector Under takings should be made to follow the same rules and procedures as followed by administrative departments concerned for posts under their control. Most of the Public Sector Undertakings have ado pted the reservation orders issued by the Government from time to time though, in some cases, the implementation of the reserva tion orders was not quite satisfactory. The recomnjendafion of the Yardi Working Group has been accepted by the Govern ment. The President is now pleased to direct— under article—; of the articles of Association that the following measures should he taken with regard to the reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribers in appointments to various posts in the company : 248

(A) Direct recruitment Scheduled Castes Scheduled Tribes (i) Direct recruitment on an 15% 7|% all India basis By means of open competitive A test. (ii) Direct recruitment on an 16-2/3% 7^% all India basis otherwise than at (1) above. (iii) Direct recruitment to Class As shown in Appendix I III and IV posts normally attracting candidates from a locality or a region. (B) Promotion : ^i) Posts filled by promotion 15% 71% through limited departmen- tal competitive examinat- / ions within or to Class II, III & IV in which the 1 element of direct recruit ment, if any, does not ex ceed 50%. .'(ii) Posts filled by promotion 15% 7^% i made by selection in or to Class III and IV in which the element of direct .; recruitment, if any, does not j exceed,50%. ' The above reservations will not apply to : (i) Vacancies filled by transfer or by deputation; '(ii) Temporary appointment of less than 45 days' duration; 'fiiil Purely temporary establishments such as work charged staff including the daily-rated and the monthly-rated staff; and r

• 249 ,

(iv) Posts for conducting research or for organising, guiding and directing research. 2. In some undertakings, the classification of posts may not be identical or similar to that in vogue in the Central Govern ment services. In such cases, for the purpose of implementing the reservation orders, the posts may be treated as Class I,II,III and IV as follow:—

Posts carrying a pay or scale of Class I •* pay with a maximum of not less than Rs. 950/-

Posts carrying a pay or scale of Class 11 pay with a maximum of not less than Rs. 575/- but less than : Rs. 950/-

Post^ carrying a pay or scale of Class III pay 'with a maximum of over Rs. 110/-but less than Rs. 575/-

Posts carrying a pay or scale of Class IV pay with the maximum of which is Rs. 110/- or less.

3. To give proper effect to the reservations prescribed, every appointing authority will treat vacancies as reserved or unreserved according to a Model Roster each consisting of 40 points/100 points, as the case my be, as described below:—

(i) recruitment made on an all India basis by open com petition or posts filled by promotion for which reservation orders are made applicable in the roster as given in Appendix II. (Separate rosters will be main tained for posts filled by direct recruitment and by promotion).

(ii) recruitment made on an all India basis otherwise than by open competition in the roster as given in Appen- dex III. 250

(iii) recruitment attracting candidates from a locaJity or a region-according to roster to be drawn up after taking into account the points reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes as shown in Appen dix I. 4. The roster will be maintained in a'register in the form given in Appendix V. Detailed instructions for maintenance of roster are given in Appendix VI.

5. Annual Statements:— As soon after the first of January every year as possible and latest by first of March, each undertaking will send to the administrative Ministry with copies to the Bureau of Public Enterprises, the Cabinet Secretariat(Department of Personnel) and the Cabinet Secretariat (Department of Cabinet Affairs).

(i) a statement in the form given in Appendix VII showing the total number of posts and the number held by members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in each class as on the first January of the year; (ii). a statement in the form given in Appendix VIII showing particulars of recruitment made in a calender year and the number filled by Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes candidates.

6. Grouping of posts:— In the case of isolated individual posts and small cadres in which vacancies may not occur with sufficient frequency to ensure adequate representation of Scheduled CastCvS and Scheduled Tribes, posts in the same class and carrying similar status, salary and qualifications may be grouped to facilitate the application of the reservation orders- A cadre or a grade or division of service consisting of less than 20 posts may be treated as a small cadre for this purpose.- A proup so formed should not ordinarily con sist of less than 25 posts,

7. Procedure for dcrcservation ;— Before any reserved vacancy isdrereseved and filled up by a general candidate, the prior approval of the Board 251

of Directors for Class I and II posts and that of the Managing Director for Class III and IV posts should be obtained. The Board of Directors should be apprised from time to time the number of Class III and Class IV vacancies dereserve. The con « tingency for dereserving a reserved vacancy would arise only when suitable candidates of the reserved community are notavau- • able or forthcoming. The following steps will be taken to bring the reserved vacancies in the direct recruitment quota to the notice of Members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes before they are dereserved ;—

(/) Advertisement in newspapers (a) The vacancies in posts and services recruitment to which is made on All India basis should be advertised in newspaper. (b) Vacancies in Class III or Class IV recruitment to which formally attracts candidates from a locality or a region should be advertised in such newspapers as the appo inting authority may consider suitable for the purpose, if candidates are not likely to be available through the employment exchanges,

(b) Re-advertisement for filling reserved vacancies j— If, after following the procedure outlined in sub-para (a) above, the required number of Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe candidates are not selected for the reserved vacancy or vacancies, the remaining reserved vacancy/vacancies will be re-ad vertised but on this occasion, gereral candidates would also be ■ eligible to apply. The general candidates would, however, be con sidered only if no suitable Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe- candidates, as the case may be, are still available for appoint- .^ ment to the vacancies reserved for them. This may be clarified in the advertisement. In case any general candidate is thus; appointed against a reserved vacancy after its dereservation the " reservation should be carried forward according to the instruc- ' tions in this regard.

(c) Advertisement where recruitment is to be made both for reserved and unreserved vacancies :—

If direct recruitment otherwise than through examination is to be made for reserved as well as unreserved 253

vacancies on any one occasion, a single adveitise- raent can be issued for such reserved and unreserved vacancies specifying clearly theiein the vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribesi. If the reserved vacancy or vacancies referred to :P^ above include any vacancy/vacancies which have beeni carried forward' to the third year of recruitment,, it should also clarified in the advertisement that Scheduled Tribes candidates would be considered' for vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes in the event of non-availability of suitable Scheduled Castes candidates and v/ce on the lines indi cated in sub-para (a) above. If, any reserved vacancies remain unfilled for want of suitable- Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates, they should not be filled by genefal candidates on this occasion but should be re-advertised and filled on the- lines indicated in sub-para (a) above.

(d) Direct recruitment through examination :—

Where direct recruitment is made through examination^ for reserved as well as unresereved vacancies a singly advertisement would be issued for such examina tion but the number of Scheduled Castes and Sche duled Tribes would be specified clearly in it and in case the required number of Scheduled Castes or ' Scheduled Tribes candidates are not available even by applying relaxed standards for the vacancy/ vacancies reserved for them, the remaining reserved

(c) Separate interview of -Scheduled Castes and: Scheduled Tribes candidates:— ■A- (i) When direct recruitment otherwise than through examination is to be made in accordance with the procedure in sub-para (b) or (c) above, the interview of r

254

Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates should be lield on a day or sitting of the Selection Commi ttee other than the day or sitting on which general candidates are to be interviewed so that the Schedu led Castes and Scheduled Tribes candidates are not judged in comparison with general candidates and -^K the interviewing authority/Board is/are prominently aware of the need for judging the Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes candidates by relaxed standards.

(ii) In direct recruitment made through examination along with interview also, the interview of Scheduled ' Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates should be held on a separate day or sitting on the lines indicated in sub para (i) above.

(f) Ad-hoc appointment of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates : / If it becomes necessary to lill a reserved vacancy pen- % ding selection according to the procedure outlined in / • sub-paras (a),(b) or (c) above, the Public Enterprise may make ad-hoc appointment of suitable Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribe candidate, as the case * may be, against such reserved vacancy.

8., Carrying forward and lapse of resevations ; If a sufficient number of suitable candidates eligible for reserved vacancies is not available, from the respec tive classes in a particular year, such vacancies may * v be treated and filled as unreserved vacancies during that year subject to approval of the Board of Directors or Managing Director as the case may be, ' ,* for deserving the reserved vacancies. Such under recruitment in the number of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe.s will be carried forward up to three « subsequent recruitment years before the reservation is \ finally treated as lapsed. However, in any recruit- _if ment year, the number of normal reseved vacancies and the carried forward vacancies together, sha^l not exceed 45% of the total vacancies. Never the- 255

less if there are only two vacancies one of them may be treated as a reserved vacancy. The surplus above 45% shall be carried forward to the subsequent year of recruitment subject, however, to the condition the particular vacancies carried forward do not become time barred due to their becoming more than three^ years old.

While vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes may continue to be treated as reserved for the respective community only Scheduled Tribes candidates should be considered for appointment against a vacancy reserved for Scheduled Castes candidates where such vacancy could not be filled by a Scheduled Caste candidate even in the third year to which the vacancy is car ried forward. While advertising or notifying a vacancy which has been carried forward to the third year, it should therefore be madeclcir in the advertisement/requisition that while the vacancy is re-icrved for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes candidates would also be eligible for consideration in the event of non-avallbiiity of suitable Scheduled Caste candidates. This arrangement will like-wise apply also in the case of vacancies reserved for Scheduled Tribes.

9. Concession to employees of Scheduled Castes and Schedu led Tribes in promoticQs by selection method: Cla.ss I and 11 appointments .

(A) Promotions within Class I In promotions by selection to posts within Class 1, which carry an ultimate salary of Rs. 2000/- per month, or less, the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Officers, who are senior enough in the zone of consideration for promotion so as to be withjii the number of vacancies for which the select list has to he drawn up, would be included in that list provided they are not considered unfit for promotion. Their position in the select ( list would however, be the same as assigned to them by the Dipartmental Promotion Committee on the basis of their record of service. They would not be given, for this purpose one ;grading higher than the grading otherwise assignable to them on ■;lhe basis of their record of service. 256

3. In order to improve the chances of Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes officers for selection to the higher categories of posts in Class I, the following measures should be taken. • (i) Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Officers in Class I services/posts should be provided with more opponuni- ties for institutional training and for attending seminars/ symposia/conferences. Advantage could in this connection be taken of the ' training facilities available at the Indian Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi, the Administrative ^ Staff College, Hyderabad etc.; and (ii) it should be the special responsibility of the immediate Superior officers of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes officers in Class I to give advice and guidance to the letter to improve the quality of their work. Public Enterprises under whom Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Class I Officers might be serving should ensure that these decisions are implemented with expedition. Public Enterprises (or the Heads of Departments) under whom such officers might be serving may specially watch the progress of these Officers so that all appropriate steps are taken, wherever necessary, to improve the efficiency of these officers for the purpose of their selection to higher posts.

(B) Promotions from Class III to II within class II and froor Class II to the lowest rank or category in class I * \ In promotions by selection from Class III to Class II and within class II and from class II to the lowest rank or category in Class I, the following procedure will be adopted In promotions made by selection, employees in the zone of consideration numbering 5 or 6 times the estimated number of ; vacancies are normally considered for inclusion in the select list. After rejecting those who arc unfit for promotion, the Depart- mental Promotion Committee proceeds to categories the remaiiiing eligible employees into three catcgocies, namely, 'Outstanding^ 'Very Good',and 'Good*. Thereafter, the Committee draws up a select 257 list placing all employees in the'Outstanding' category at the top, followed by those categorised as 'Very Good' and then by those categorised as 'Good', the inter se seniority within each category being maintained. As a measure of injproving representation of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes in service the following concession in grading shall be extended to them.

If within the zone of consideration, there are any Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes employees,. those amongst them who are considered unfit for promotion by the Departmental Promotion Comtiiittee will be excluded from consideration. There after the remaining Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes employees will be taken by the Departiriental Promotion Committee one grading higher than the grading otherwise assignable to them on the basis of their record of service/.e.. if any Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes employee has been cotegorised by the Committee on the basis of his record of service- as 'Good', he should be recategorised by the Committee as 'Very Good'. Likewise, if any Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe employee graded as 'Very Good' on basis of his record of service, he will be recategorised by the Committee as'Out standing'. Of course, if any Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe Employee has already been categorised by the Committee on the basis of his record of service as 'Outstanding', no recate- gorisation will be needed in his case.

The above concession would be confined to only 25% of the total vacancies in a particular grade post filled in a year from the Select List. While making promotions from the Select List the appointing authority should, therefore, check up that the Schedu led Castes/Scheduled Tribes employees promoted in a year on the- basis of this concession are limited to 25% of the posts filled in a year from the Select List prepared according to the procedure- outlined above i.e., the concession of higher grading should be given to one employee of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe against every four vacancies. For this purpose, a continuous account of vacancies should be kept, if the number of vacancies in a year is not divisible by four, the remainder should be carried forward to the following year for the purpose of this accountings For exapmle if there are six vacancies in a year, the concession would be given to one employee of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe against the first four vacancies and the balance of 2 258

vacancies would be notionally carried forward to the following year and added to the vacancies arising in that year to determine the number of employees of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who should be given thi5 concession. (ii) Those Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes employees who are senior enough in the zone of consideration so as to be within the number of vacancies for which the Select List has to be drawn, • shonid be included in the Select List, if they'are not considered unfit for promotion and should also be given one grading higher than the grading otherwise assignable to them on the basis of their record of service and their place in the Select List determined ^ on the basis or this higher categorisation. This would imply that even where, in some cases, the Select List were to consist of, say, only 'Outstanding' Non-Scheduled Caste/Non- Scheduled Tribes candidates, adequate number of them being available from the zone of consideration, those Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribes candidates who are high up in the zone of consideration and are within the number of estimated vacancies for which are Select List is being prepared will, even if they are , only 'Good' and after higher categorisation by one degree are categorised as 'Very Good' have to be included in the Select List, but they will be placed below the 'Outstanding' candidates in the Select List. » - 10. Safeguards to employees of Scheduled Castes and Schedu led Tribes in promotions of the basis of Seniority subject (o fitness. I There will be no reservation for Scheduled Castes and Schedu- jed Tribes in appointments made by promotion on the basis of , senority subject to fitness, but cases involving supersession of • •, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Officers in Class 1 and II .appointments will be submitted for prior approval to the Board of Directors. Cases involving supersession of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Officers in Class III and IV appointments will be reported within a month to the Board of Directors for information. •

11. Instructions to] be followed while filling by promotion of vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. 1. (a) Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Officers who 259

are within the normal zone of consideration should be considered for promotioii along with others and adjudged on the same basis as others and those Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes amongst them who are selected on that basis may be included in the general Select List in addition to their being considered for separate Select Lists for Scheduled Oistes and Scheduled Tribes.

(b) If candidates from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes obtain on the basis of their positions in the aforesaid general select list, less vacancies then are reserved for them, the difference should made up by selected candidates of those communities who are in . the separate Select Lists for Scheduled Castes and-*^ Scheduled Tribes respectively.

(2) In the separate select lists drawn up for (i) Scheduled Castes and (ii) Scheduled Tribes, Officers belonging to Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes, as the csse may be, will be adjudged separately amongst themselves and not alongwith other officers, and, if selected, they should ' be included in the concerned separate select list, irres pective of their merit as compared to other officers. It is needless to mention that officers not belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes will not be considered whilst drawing up separate select lists for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. For being considered for inclusion in the aforesaid separate select lists, the zone of consideration for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, as the case may be, would be of the same size as that for the general select list, that is, if for the general select list, the zone of consideration is 5 times the number of vacancies likely to be filled, the zone of consi deration for the separate list for Scheduled Castes will also be 5 times the number of reserved vacancies for them, and like-wise for Scheduled Tribes,, subject, of course to the condition that officers coming within such zone are eligi ble, by length of service etc. as prescribed for being consi dered for promotion. •260

12, Relaxation and concessions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes :—

•(!) Age limit: /.

The maximum age-limit prescribed lor appoint ment to a service or posts shall be increased by " 5 years in the case of candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

^ii) Relaxation ofstandards : ^ '

In the case of direct recruitment, whether by examination or otherwise, if sufficient number of Scheduled Caste /Tribe candidates are not available on the basis of the general standard to fill all the vacancies reserved for them, candidates belonging to these communities may be selected to fill up the remain ing vacancies reserved for them provided they are not found unfit for such ^ost or posts. In other - y words, to the extent the number of vacancies / reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Trifjes cannot be filled on the basis of the General standard, candidates belonging to these communi ties will be taken by relaxed standard to make up the deficiency in the reserved quota, subject to the fitness of these candidates for appointment to the post/posts in question. *

13. Verification of the claims of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. > * \ Any of the following cartificates may be accepted by the * appointing authority as sufficient proof in support of a candi date's claim as belonging to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes : (i) Matriculation or School leaving certificate or birth certificate giving the caste or community of the candi- ^ date and place of residence. — , (ii) A certificate in the form given in Appendix XI issued by one of the authorities listed in Appendix XII. 261

Where a candidate belonging to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe is unable to produce a certificate from any ot the prescribed authorities, he may be appointed provisionally on the basis of whatever pritna facie proof he is able to produce in support of his claim subject to his furnishing the prescribed certi ficate within a reasonable time or if there is genuine difficulty m his obtaining a certificate, the appointing authority should itsell verify his claim through the District Magistrate concerned. An appointing authority may if it considers necessary for any reason, verify the claim of a candidate through the District Magist rate of the place where the candidate and/or his family ordi-1 narily resides. If in any particular case, the verification reveals "that the candidate's claim was false, his services may be terminated. 14. Definition and lists of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe.

Detailed Instrnction for the maintenance of rosters (Para 4).

1. A separate roster should be maintained in the form given in Appendix IV for each type of recruitment and within it for each grade or service or a group of posts formed for the • purpose of these orders.

2. Within each category of posts separate roster may be mainta- ' ined one for permanent and temporary appointments likely to become permanent or to continue indefinitely aind another for purely temporary posts.

I 3.^ Immediately after an appointment has i been made the parli- . culars of the person appointed will be entered in the register in the appropriate columns and the entry signed by the appointing authority or by the officer authorised to do so.

4. No gap should be left in completing the roster. For examhle, if .a 'reserved''vacancy, at, say, point 25, has to be treated, for want of .'a suitable Scheduled Castes/Tribe candidate, as unreserved, the candidate actually appointed will be shown against that point itself. A Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribe candidate recruited later in the year against an unreser- , ved point will be shown against such point.

5. The roster will be maintained in the form of a running account year by year. For example, if recrui tment in a year stops at point 6 of a cycle recrui tment in the following year will begin at point 7.

6. A post which is first temporary and is later converted into permanent should be treated as reserved or unreserved accord ing to the point at which it fell when it was initially filled. In" other words, a temporary post later coverted into permanent should not, after such conversion be shown again in the roster. 273

The Chief Secretary to Government, Haryana.

To (1) All Heads• of. Departments; the- Commissioners- Anibala. and -Hissar Divisions; all Deputy Commissi oners and all'Sub-Dlvisional- Officers in Haryana^ (2) The Registrar, Punjab and Haryana: High. Court and all District and Sessions Judges in Haryana. Dated-Chandigarh, 5 February, 1973. Subject:— Reservation for members of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes in service—fixation of seniority.

Sir, _ ' I am directed to refer to the instructions issued vide Haryanai Government letter No. 2379-2GSI-72/21771,. dated the 20th July, 1972, on the subject noted above in which it was intimated that the principles for determining senility as, enunciated in Haryana Government letter No. 2379-2GSI-72/ 10094, dated the 27th Apiil, 1972, should be followed with regard to future cases, while the earlier'cases whereby membeis of Scheduled Castes/Backward Classes had been assigned senio- litv according to the serial Nos. of the vacancies reserved for them in the block system should not be reopened. It was b.'ought to the notice of the State Government in that connection that the words '-'earlier cases whereby members of Scheduled Castes/Backward Classes had been assigned seniority" as used in the aforementioned letter were attendeci with some ambiguity and needed to be clarified. The matter has accordingly been reconsidered and the following clarifica tions may please be noted:— (a) Irrespective of the date on which the Public Service Commission/Subordinate Services Selection Board might have sent its recommendation for appointment,, cases in which interse Senioirty was not assigned before the 24th April,-1972 (i.e- thfeidate-on-'whicb the original instructions on the subject. were issued) sei'i'i6'rity' should -be' assigned- only ■ in' accordance with the principles laid down in State Government N6'. 2379^2GSI-72/-i0994;^ dated" the 27th April',! 1972; (b) cases in which seniority was not assigned before- thc 27th April, 1972, and was assigned on or after that date, but in contravention of the principles, set'but in State Government letter No. 2379-2GS1- 72/i0994; dated the 27th- April, 1972, the matter should be reconsidered and the seniority should be reassigned in accordance with the principles given iri the^afb'rb iheniibned State Governfh'eht letter; and (c) the word, "seniority assigned" used in the instructions- referred to above mean that whatever procedure is adopted by the Department concerned for arriving, at a final decision about, the seniority list {e.g. circu lating-the provisional seniority list, inviting and' considering objections etc.), if that procedure was completed and the decision taken before the.- 27th April, 1972 then the seniority.should be.deemed, to have been assigned before that date. In cases- where the final decision about the seniority list was- not so arrived at (in accordance with the prevalent procedure), then seniority should be taken to have- been assigned after that date.

It is requested that these clarifications may be care fully kept in view and brought to the notice of alii Officers/Officials under your control for strict compliance.

Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this letter,.
