NFIR’s Views:
(a) The DR Quota should be not more than 50% + shortfall against LDCE if any.
(b) LDCE Quota should be 15% + Shortfall if any from out of Promotion Quota to be filled from amongst serving regular non-ministerial Group ” C” employees of operating and commercial Department with a minimum of two years of aggregate regular service (RBE No.38/2017) working in (GP Rs.1900 to GP Rs.2800), i.e. Rs.19900 -Rs.63200 (Level 2) to Rs.29200 – Rs.92300 (Level 5), upto 52 years of age and having the qualification of graduation.

2. Board’s Proposal:
Station Superintendent (erstwhile PB-2, Rs,9300-34800, GP Rs.4600)
100% by promotion (Selection).
NFIR’s Views:
since the post of station Master erstwhile GP 4200/- + PB-2 has been proposed to be classified as ‘ selection’ Post, the post of Station Superintendent being next higher Pay Scale i.e GP 4600/- + PB-2 needs to be classified as ‘Non-Selection’.
Federation also proposes that a meeting may be convened for discussion on Board’s proposal and Federation’s views for attempting to reach consensus.
Yours faithfully,
(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary.
