    Study Notes

    Termination of Service

    • Temporary Railway Servants: No notice required if termination is due to post expiration, officiating vacancy end, compulsory retirement (mental/physical incapacity), or dismissal (Article 311). One-month notice if contract for a definite period, 14 days if no contract. Servants with over three years continuous service get one month's notice.

    • Notice Procedures: Show-cause notice is required for permanent servants. Apprentices have one-week notice.

    • Other Railway Servants: Specific categories, like probationary officers/Group A & B, gazetted railway servants, and Group C/D, have different notice periods (3 months, 1 month, 1 month respectively). Such notice is not required in cases of dismissal/removal for disciplinary reasons or compulsory retirement due to mental/physical incapacity.

    • Notice Period Compensation: If the stipulated notice period is reduced by the appointing authority, the employee is entitled to pay plus allowances for the shortened period. This power can't be delegated, except for group A probationers in centralized training institutes, where this is handled by Heads of Institutes. A terminating authority must be at least the appointing authority.

    • Industrial Disputes Act of 1947: Applies to some railway servants, with notice or wage in lieu thereof.

    Resignation

    • Investigation: Resignation of a railway servant whose conduct is under investigation won't be accepted without the approving authority's permission. No suggestion to resign if the railway servant is facing dismissal.

    • Group A & B: General Managers can accept resignations (except for administrative roles). Centralized Training Institutes Heads can handle Group A probationer resignations. President's approval needed for other Group A resignations. All Group A/B resignations need to be reported to Ministry of Railway.

    • Important Role Resignation: If a resignation affects an important post, the resignation shouldn't be immediately accepted; sufficient time for alternative arrangements is needed.

    • Group C & D: The resignation can be accepted by the authority that can fill the position.

    Discharge on Reduction of Establishment

    • Authority: Discharge for establishment reduction only by the authority that established/ appointed the position. Highest authority (appointing authority or abolishing authority) must approve.

    Service Termination Due to Inefficiency

    • Physical Fitness issues: If a railway servant fails a vision test or becomes physically unfit due to service-related disabilities, they are shifted to another position with the same pay scale and benefits, rather than discharged.

    • Medical findings: Temporarily removed from their position if medically declared unfit. They can be put in a supernumerary position while finding a suitable alternative position with same pay scale and benefits.

    • Circumstances: Medical unfitness must be directly related to circumstances arising from and during the employment; medical unfitness from unrelated circumstances doesn't qualify the employee for the benefits specified in the rule.

    ###Temporary Employee

    • Leave Policy: Temporary employees who become medically unfit in their post due to job related circumstances get leave that can be counted towards their employment.
