- SOR.III-1-22/90 Dated the 4th June 1997
Subject: RESERVATION OF 20% OF THE VACANCIES FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WORKING/RETIRED IN BS-1 TO 5
I am directed to refer to this department’s Notification of even number dated 01.09.1993, according to which 20% of the vacancies in the cadre of Junior Clerk, Driver, Naib Qasid, Mali, Water Carrier and Chowkidar in all Government departments shall stand reserved for the children of such Government Servants in BS-1-5, who are either still serving in all the respective departments/cadre or had retired from the said departments/cadre in BS-1-5.
- The above quota stood also reserved for employees’ children working in BS-1-5 in the respective Departments vide letter No. SOR.III-2-1/94 dated 30.07.1996. The other category of retired employees in BS-1-5 who were also beneficiary of the notification mentioned at para 1 above was inadvertently omitted from circular letter dated 30.07.1996. There is confusion about the interpretation of notification/instructions issued in this behalf. A number of Government Departments have approached the Regulations Wing, Services & General Administration Department, for necessary clarification, i.e., whether 20% vacancies in BS-1-5 have been reserved for children of Government Servants, who are still serving in the respective departments or it also includes those officials who had since retired from service. It is clarified that children of Government employees who are either serving in respective departments/cadre or had retired from the said department shall be equally eligible for the 20% of the vacancies reserved for the children of Government servants in BS-1 to 5.
- I am, therefore, to request that this clarification may kindly be brought to the notice of all concerned for information, necessary action and strict compliance, accordingly.
