****

The issue of granting extension in joining from date of issue of Offer of Appointment based on guidelines of DOP&T dated 11.11.2010 has been examined and it has been decided to adopt the same as suitable to Railways mutatis mutandis. The relevant extracts of DOP&T’s OMs dated 06.06.1978 & 09.08.1995 as incorporated in DOP&T’s OM dated 11.11.2010 is summarized below for guidance and compliance:

(i) An offer of appointment should clearly specify the period (which shall not normally exceed one or two months) after which the offer would lapse automatically if the candidate did not join within the specified period.

(ii) If, however, within the specified period, a request is received from the candidate for extension of time, it may be considered but extension beyond three months should not be granted and it may be granted only as an exception where facts and circumstances so warrant and in any case only up to a maximum of six months from the date of issue of the original offer of appointment. An offer of appointment would lapse automatically after the expiry of six months from the date of issue of the original offer of appointment.

(iii) If, even after the extension(s), if any, granted by the Competent Authority, a candidate does not join (which shall not exceed a period of six month), the offer of appointment should lapse.

(iv) An order of appointment which has lapsed should not ordinarily be revived later, except in exceptional circumstances and on grounds of public interest.

(viii) NFIR’s letter No. II/14/2018-I dated 22/01/2019 & 25/03/2019.

**********

Federation brings to the kind notice of the Railway Board (CRB) that NFIR’s PNM Agenda Item No. 18/2016 relating to relaxation of service condition of minimum five years service in the case of re-employed Defence Forces Personnel seeking inter Railway transfer on request has been pending since the last three years. During NFIR’s PNM meeting held with the Railway Board on 25/26-04-2019, the Official Side conveyed through Action Taken Statement as under:-

“The matter is presently under consideration. Feedback has been called for, from all the Zonal Railways. Responses from some of them are still awaited.”

Federation feels sad to state that though a period of over six months passed, progress made into the matter is yet to be conveyed.

In this connection, Federation also brings to the notice of the Board (CRB) that the NFIR General Secretary held discussions at the level of CRB more than once (last discussions held on 22/11/2018), when the CRB gave assurance that the relaxation has been processed and the final orders would be issued very shortly, but unfortunately relaxation decision has not been issued so far.

May I once again seek the intervention of CRB to kindly see that orders issued relaxation to five years service condition in favour of former Defence Personnel re-employed in Railways, facilitating their inter Railway transfer requests soon.

Yours faithfully

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
