ORDNANCE FACTORIES RECRUITMENT BOARDA/IR – DDGUpto
2013-14, around 23000 posts have been sanctioned for Recruitment in
Ordnance Factories and as per the feedback received around 12000 persons
have joined already. Recruitment process is in various stages for
10,000 to 11,000 posts. Some Factories not yet advertised vacancies;
some of them are under the investigation due to some complaints. In the
recent Head of Departments (HOD) meetings (GMs Conference) this was
discussed with Secretary DDP, M of D and Secretary agreed for
Centralised Recruitment. So the Ordnance Factories Recruitment Board
will be approved soon to recruit all Group ‘C’ Posts. For Chargeman DR,
NADP Ambajhari will take the responsibility for recruitment.
10.
RECRUITMENT IN NIE CADREDuring

factories. Further sanction is also being considered and will be issued

promotions. It was
agreed to the Staff side suggestions to conduct Trade Test before 3
months of completion of 2 years and the promotion will be
released on time i.e., on completion of 2 years.
12.
30 Days EL FOR IES WHO HAVE OPTED FOR FACTORIES ACTDDG/A/A After
granting 30 days EL to all industrial Employees from November, 2006,
the Piece Workers are denied the benefit of availing 30 days EL on the
reasons that they have opted leave under Factories Act. PC of A Fys
denied to grant 30 days EL for Piece Workers as the Factories Act
restrict EL only upto 18 days. They said either fresh option is to be
allowed or it will remain in the same status.
The reasons because, for Industrial Employees in Ordnance Factories TWO set of leave rules are there
(i) Under Factories Act
(ii) Departmental Leave Rules
Whereas
in Railways only one Rule is applicable to all i.e., Departmental Leave
Rules, we have therefore agreed to kill theproblem to agree for
retaining/opting for only Departmental leave Rules by which all will get
30 days EL and can accumulate upto 300 days. Due to this issue, Piece
Workers are granted only 18 days and at the time of retirement they are
given @ rate of 18 days per year. We therefore, agreed to switch over
to Departmental Leave Rules thereby all will get 30 days EL per annum.
Proposal has been sent to M of D and DOP&T for approval. Further we
will try to get the benefit with retrospectively so that those who have
paid less on leave encashment will be granted. Pensioners will be
benefited.
13. DIRECTOR /A/NI
a) The issue of stepping up of
Pay between Direct Recruitees and pormotees among the Teaching Staff of

in Sr.Staff Nurse, Fireman etc. This will be considered on receiving
the details from the INDWF.
b) Revival of abolished posts was
taken up with
DOP&T but they did not get any reference. M of D
wants matching saving for releasing of Additional Sanction in NIE Cadre
