category Regional, chandigarh, , tags Regional, chandigarh, , DW BUREAU Chandigarh The Haryana Government has decided to grant reservation in promotion to employees belonging to the Scheduled Castes in all cadres of Group A and Group B posts. A detailed instruction issued by the Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal here on Saturday states that under the new policy, the State Government will reserve 20 of the sanctioned posts for promotional quota for employees of the Scheduled Castes. The reservation will be admissible to all Group A and Group B posts, except for the highest promotional post in a cadre. However, the inter-se seniority as per the applicable Service Rules will be taken into account for the highest promotional post. Minimum Posts: The benefit will be admissible only when two or more promotional posts are available. Reservation will be implemented cadre-wise, taking into account the total number of posts sanctioned. Representation Assessment: The Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) and or competent authoritiy for Group A or Group B promotions will determine the adequacy of current representation of Scheduled Castes employees on promotional posts. If the representation is below 20 , the deficiency will be addressed when a promotional quota post becomes available. All SC employees on Group A or Group B posts filled through promotion will be considered for representation regardless of the mode of appointment. No Reversion: Non-SC employees who have already been promoted to Group A or Group B posts will not be reverted to fulfill the 20 reservation, but the deficiency will be addressed when promotional quota posts become available. No Deprivation of Promotion: SC employees will not be deprived of promotion even if the 20 reservation limit has been met or will be met upon their promotion based on seniority and merit. Roster Points: Roster points for direct recruitment for SC candidates, as per government instructions will apply. The instructions and guidelines for Group C and D employees for the application of roster points or replacement theory will also be strictly followed. Non-SC Promotions: If an eligible SC employee is not available for promotion as per the roster, an eligible employee from another category may be promoted. The SC employee will be adjusted against a supernumerary post when they become eligible. Consequential Seniority: Reservation in promotion will not affect seniority in the promotional post.
