    Study Notes

    Forwarding Applications from Serving Railway Employees for Posts Outside Railways

    • Railway employees may be given up to four opportunities per year to apply for positions in government departments, public sector undertakings, or autonomous bodies.
    • Applications in response to UPSC advertisements are not counted toward this limit.
    • "Public interest" should be interpreted narrowly; withholding applications should be the exception, not the rule. Authorities must balance the state's interests with individual hardship.
    • Specific examples of situations where applications might be withheld (illustrative, not exhaustive): employee tied to important, time-bound projects; employee suspended or facing legal proceedings; applicant seeking a post of equal or higher rank.

    Authorities Competent to Forward Applications

    • Applications from junior administrative grade employees may be forwarded by the General Manager or a lower authority, but only with General Manager approval if the lower authority wants to hold the application.
    • Applications from senior employees may be forwarded to the Railway Board.

    Application for Employment in a Private Concern

    • Railway employees seeking private sector positions must offer to resign or retire from their railway service first.
    • Any employment outside the Central or State Government, public sector, or autonomous bodies wholly or substantially financed by the government, is considered private employment.

    Retention of Lien on Selection

    • Permanent employees selected for other central government/department/officials positions may retain their lien for two years. If not absorbed permanently in two years, they must resign or return to their original cadre.
    • Temporary employees with less than two years of service must sever ties with railways on selection for external positions.
    • Confirmed permanent employees who haven't been confirmed within two years may, in exceptional cases, have their lien extended for another year.

    Continuity of Service on Technical Resignation

    • Permanent employees changing to another central government department/office will need to resign, unless returning within two or three years.
    • Resignation won't affect service continuity for pension purposes. Employees will keep accumulated leave time.
    • Railway employees may maintain and continue accrued leave time earned in their temporary or probationary civil service employment.

    Forwarding Applications for Posts Advertised by Central/Public Sector/Autonomous Bodies

    • Railway servant applications for positions advertised by central/public sector/autonomous bodies might be forwarded given the understanding of severance of railway ties at deployment.
    • Railway employee needs "technical resignation" upon selection for the new position, before leaving the railway service.
    • Relieving orders must specify a reasonable time period for the employee to begin employment at the public sector/autonomous body (15 days maximum, extendable).
    • Failure to begin employment within the allotted time requires immediate reporting to the previous employer.

    Permission for Applying for Posts Advertised by International Organizations/Foreign Governments

    • Railway staff may apply for positions at international organizations/foreign governments with prior permission from their cadre control authority.
    • Timesensitive situations may allow a staff member to submit their application in advance, contingent on the cadre authority's final approval.
    • The decision to approve or deny an application is based solely on whether the railway employee can be spared without jeopardizing current duties, not other considerations.

    Forwarding of Applications from Railway Employees to UPSC

    • Railway employees who intend to apply for a UPSC-administered competitive examination may submit direct applications.
    • Employees should inform their department heads to confirm no impediment to the application.

    Issue of 'No Objection Certificate' for Registration of Name with Employment Exchange

    • Permanently employed railway employees and those with over three years' service may register for higher-grade governmental/public sector positions with the employment exchange, upon obtaining a "no objection certificate" from their current employer.
    • Registration is limited to posts higher than the employees' current roles.
    • Govt selection after this does not allow the individual's current Railway service to continue.

    Refund of Cost of Training/ Enforcement Of Bond Money

    • Non-gazetted railway employees may be exempt from training cost reimbursements if selected for equivalent positions in other government/public sector bodies.
    • 'New' bond agreements for the balance of the original bond period must be executed.

    Transfer in Public Interest

    • Applications for transfers in cases of special qualifications or experience/prior service with another government department won't be subject to regulations regarding the forwarding of application.

    Forwarding of Application of Railway Servents When Conduct Is Under Investigation

    • While under disciplinary investigation, railway staff cannot have their applications forwarded.
    • Applications may be forwarded if the investigation is ongoing with no definitive conclusion. Decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the employment authority's evaluation of the matter.
