RESERVATION REGISTERS AND ROSTER REGISTERS
5.1 In case of cadres having more than 13 posts, all appointing
authorities should maintain reservation registers in the format given
in Annexure-I.
5.2 Reservation roster registers will be maintained in format given in the Annexure-II for cadres having less than 14 posts.
5.3 Following principles shall be followed for preparation and
maintenance of reservation registers and reservation roster registers:
(a) Separate registers/ roster registers shall be maintained for
appointments made by direct recruitment and promotion. In case of
promotion, separate registers / roster registers shall be maintained for
each mode of promotion viz. limited competitive examination, selection,
non-selection, etc.
(b) A common register / roster register shall be
maintained for permanent appointments and temporary appointments likely
to become permanent or to continue indefinitely.
(c) A separate register / roster register shall be maintained for purely
temporary appointments of 45 days or more but which have no chance
whatever of becoming permanent or continuing indefinitely.
(d) Immediately after an appointment is made, the particulars of the
person appointed shall be entered in the register / roster register in
the appropriate columns and the entry signed by the appointing authority
or by an officer authorized to do so.
(e) No gap shall be left in completing the register / roster register.
(f) The register / roster register shall be maintained in the form of a
running account year after year. For example if recruitment in a year
stops at point 6, recruitment in the following year shall begin from
point 7.
(g) If reservation register becomes unwieldy or difficult to manage, a
fresh register may be started by applying the method of initial
preparation of registers.
(h) In case of cadres where reservation is given by rotation, fresh
cycle of roster shall be started after completion of all the points in
the roster.
(i) Since reservation does not apply to deputation/absorption, where
the recruitment rules prescribe a percentage of posts to be filled by
these methods, such posts shall be excluded for determining
reservations.
(j) After every recruitment year, an account shall be noted in the
reservation register indicating representation of Scheduled
Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Other Backward Classes and details of backlog
reserved vacancies etc.
Note : Reservation registers / roster registers are only an aid to
ensure that Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward
Classes get quota reserved for them. These registers/roster registers do
not determine seniority.
Grouping of Posts
5.4 In the case of posts filled by direct recruitment, small cadres may
be grouped with posts in the same group for the purpose of reservation
orders taking into account the status, salary and qualifications
prescribed for the posts in question.
5.5 The posts of Sweepers should not be grouped for the purpose of
reservation, with other categories of Group D posts, even though the
number of posts of Sweepers may not be large in an office
/establishment.
5.6 Proposals for grouping of posts should be referred to the
Department of Personnel & Training for prior approval together with
full particulars of the posts proposed to be grouped together in the
following respect:
(i) Designation and number of each post.
(ii) Group to which the posts belong i.e. Group A, Group B, Group C or Group D.
(iii) Scale of pay of each post.
(iii) Method of recruitment for each post as provided in the recruitment rules.
(iv) Minimum qualifications prescribed for direct recruitment to each post.
5.7 While reservations would be made according to the groups as
provided above, the total reservation in any of the posts/services so
grouped should not exceed 50 per cent of the vacancies to be filled in
it i.e. in the particular post/service, in a recruitment year. The total
reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs in any post or service should also
not exceed 50 percent of the total number of posts in the particular
post/service.
Initial Preparation of Reservation Register / Roster
5.8 In order to prepare the reservation register initially, names of
all the candidates holding the post as on the date of starting the
reservation register may be entered in the register starting with the
earliest appointee who was in the cadre as on the date of start of
register. If an appointee in the cadre is a Scheduled Caste candidate,
SC may be entered in column 4 of the register against his name. If that
candidate was appointed by reservation, SC may be written in column 5
also but if he was appointed on his own merit, UR will be written in
column 5. If the next appointee is a general category candidate, general
shall be written in column 4 against his name and UR in column 5, and
so on till all the appointments are adjusted. After making entries as
indicated above, details about the number of SC, ST and OBC candidates
appointed by reservation, backlog reserved vacancies, if any, may be
indicated in 'Remarks' column.
5.9 After initial preparation of the register, the names of persons
appointed thereafter may be added by filling up the columns as stated
above.
5.10 Roster registers shall be maintained for cadres with 2 to 13 posts.
For preparing roster, names of all the incumbents in the cadre as on
2.7.1997 may be entered in the register starting from the earliest
appointee. If an appointee in the cadre is a Scheduled Caste candidate,
SC may be entered in column 5 of the register against his name. If that
candidate was appointed by reservation, SC may be written in column 6
also but if he was appointed on his own merit, UR will be written in
column 6. If the next appointee is a general category candidate, general
shall be written in column 5 against his name and UR in column 6, and
so on till all appointments are adjusted. In doing so, a general
category candidate may appear on a reserved point and an SC/ST/OBC
candidate may appear against an unreserved point. If name of an
SC/ST/OBC candidate appointed by reservation is entered against a
general point, entries may be made in remarks column against that point
and also against nearest point reserved for SCs/STs/OBCs, as the case
may be, to the effect that such a candidate is to be treated to have
been adjusted against the relevant reserved point. Likewise, entries
will be made in remarks column for candidates who are appointed as
general category candidates but whose names appear against reserved
points. Similar adjustments will be made in respect of SC candidates
appearing against a point reserved for STs or OBCs and so on. After all
the 14 points are consumed, fresh cycle of the roster may be started. As
many roster points may be treated to have been consumed on the date of
start of the roster register as many employees occupy the roster points
as on the date of start of the register. From that point onward,
vacancies may be filled as per roster points subject to adjustment of
reserved category candidates appointed by reservation and general
category candidates as explained above.
SC/ST/OBC Candidates Appointed on Merit
5.11 SC, ST and OBC candidates in case of direct recruitment and SC and
ST candidates in case of promotion, appointed on their own merit and not
owing to reservation should not be shown against reserved quota. They
will be adjusted against unreserved quota.
5.12 If an unreserved vacancy arises in a cadre and there is any SC/ST
candidate within the normal zone of consideration in the feeder grade,
such SC/ST candidate cannot be denied promotion on the plea that the
post is not reserved. Such a candidate will be considered for promotion
alongwith other candidates treating him as if he belongs to general
category. In case he is selected, he will be appointed to the post and
will be adjusted against the unreserved point.
5.13 Only such SC/ST/OBC candidates who are selected on the same
standard as applied to general candidates shall be treated as own merit
candidates. If any SC/ST/OBC candidate is selected by getting any
relaxation in experience qualification, number of permitted chances in
written examination, zone of consideration etc., he/she shall be counted
against reserved vacancies. Such a candidate cannot be considered for
appointment against an unreserved vacancy.
5.14 SC/ST candidates appointed on their own merit (by direct
recruitment or promotion) and adjusted against unreserved points will
retain their status of SC/ST and will be eligible to get benefit of
reservation in future/further promotions, if any.
5.15 50% limit on reservation will be computed by excluding such
reserved category candidates who are appointed/ promoted on their own
merit.
Adjustment of Compassionate Appointees
5.16 A person selected for appointment on compassionate grounds should
be adjusted in the reservation register/ reservation roster register
against the appropriate category viz. SC/ST/OBC/UR category depending
upon the category to which he belongs. For example, if he belongs to SC,
he shall be adjusted against a vacancy reserved for SCs. Similarly if
he is an ST or OBC candidate, he shall be adjusted against vacancy
reserved for STs or OBCs, as the case may be. An unreserved category
candidate shall be adjusted against an unreserved vacancy.
