Reservation for ex-servicemen

Reservation for ex-servicemen was initially introduced for a period of two years in 1966. This was extended from time to time and is now available in terms of the Exservicemen Re-employment in Central Civil Services and Posts) Rules, 1979. As per these Rules, ten percent of the vacancies in the posts of the level of Assistant Commandant in para-military forces, ten percent of the vacancies in Group ‘C’ services and posts, and 20% of the vacancies in Group ‘D’ services and posts are reserved for ex-servicemen subject to certain conditions. Ex-servicemen are entitled to get age relaxation for appointment to any vacancy in Central civil services/posts, whether reserved or not. Ex-servicemen who have already secured employment under the Central Government are entitled to the benefit of age relaxation as prescribed for securing another employment in a higher grade or cadre under the Central Government. There are some provisions regarding relaxation/exemption of educational qualifications for the ex-servicemen. The Director General (Resettlement), Ministry of Defence monitors the implementation of these orders in the Central Government
Agencies.

Reservation for ex-servicemen and physically handicapped persons is termed as “horizontal” reservation and reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs is termed as “vertical” reservation. Guidelines exist explaining how the “horizontal” reservation is to be adjusted against the “vertical” reservation.

No Comparison between pay Structure of Central Government Employees and of Bank Employees

The pay scales of employees in Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are determined as per the agreement between the management and Associations/Unions every five years. Besides the pay, employees in banks are also entitled to a number of other allowances and benefits. The pay scale of the Central Government employees are finalised by Government taking the recommendations of Central Pay Commission into consideration and these pay scales are reviewed generally after ten years. The terms and conditions of service of Central Government employees and Bank employees are entirely different and are regulated in terms of the respective service conditions. Hence, no comparison can be drawn between pay structure of Central Government employees and of bank employees.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
