FAOs on the policy of reservation to Ex-servicemen

January 26, 2009 by rajasinghmurugesan

Frequently Asked Questions (FAOs) on the policy of reservation to

Ex-servicemen

 

 

Q.1 What is the policy of reservation for ex-servicemen?

Ans.; The policy of reservation for ex-servicemen is governed by the Ex-servicemen (Re-employment in Central Civil Services and Posts) Rules, 1979.These rules apply to all the Central Civil Services and posts, Group ‘C’ and Group  ‘D’ and the posts of the level of Assistant Commandant in all para-military forces.

 

Q.2. What is the percentage of reservation provided to the ex-servicemen?

Ans. Ten per cent of the vacancies in the posts of the level of Assistant Commandent in  all para-military forces, ten per cent of the vacancies in each of the categories of  Group ‘C’ and of such posts in Group ‘C’ services, including permanent vacancies filled initially on a temporary basis and temporary vacancies which are lively to be made permanent or are likely to continue for thre months and more, to be filled by direct recruitment in any year are  reserved for ex-servicemen;

            Provided the percentage of reservation so specified for ex-servicemen in a category of post shall be increased or decreased in any one recruitment year to the extent to which the total number of vacancies reserved for ex-servicemen, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (including the carried forward reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) and for any other  categories taken together, falls short or is in excess, as the case may be, of fifty per cent of the vacancies in that category of posts filled in that year;

            Provided further that in case of an increase in the reservation for the  ex-servicemen under the preceding proviso, the additional vacancies so made available for them shall be utilized first for the appointment of disabled ex-servicemen and if any such vacancies still remain unfilled thereafter the same shall then be made available to other ex-servicemen.

 

Q.3 What is vertical reservation and what is horizontal reservation?

Ans. Reservation for backward classes of citizens (SCs, STs and OBCs) is called vertical reservation and the reservation for ex-servicemen is called horizontal reservation. Horizontal reservation cuts across vertical reservation (in what is called inter-locking reservation) and persons selected against the quota for persons with disabilities have to be placed in the appropriate category viz SC/ST/OBC/General candidates depending upon the category to which they belong in the roster meant for reservation of SCs/STs/OBCs.  To illustrate, if in a given year there are two vacancies reserved for the ex-servicemen and out of two ex-servicemen appointed, one belongs to a Scheduled Caste and the other to general category then the disabled SC candidate shall be adjusted against the SC point in the reservation roster and the general candidate against unreserved point in the relevant reservation roster.  In case none of the vacancies falls on point reserved for the SCs, the ex-serviceman belonging to SC shall be adjusted in future against the next available vacancy reserved for SCs.

            Since the ex-servicemen have to be placed in the appropriate  category viz SC/ST/OBC/General in the roster meant for reservation of SCs/STs/OBCs, the application form for the post should require the candidates applying under the quota reserved for ex-servicemen to indicate whether they belong to SC/ST/OBC or General category.

 

Q.4. What is the definition of Ex-serviceman?

Ans: The Ex-serviceman (Re-employment in Central Civil Services and Posts) Rules 1979 as modified by the Gazette Notification dated 27th October, 1986, defines ex-serviceman as a person who has served in any rank whether as combatant or non-combatant in a Regular Army, Navy and Air Force of the Indian Union and

    *Exserviceman jobs are very limited in kolkata area (govt job). There should be given some guidence or grooming facilities, how to get different types of job.Tech/Nontech Exservice man are not getting jobs,as per their TRADES. Therefore they have to choose minimum salary job.Morever as per market valuation only pension is not sufficent for exserviceman.So there is two option either increase the pension or given more jobs (govt/private) as per exserviceman quota(govt policy).
    * After retirement if the exserviceman wish to visit some of the tourist places with his family they should get concession on HOTELS, AIRS, SHIPS & RAILWAYS.
    * Exseviceman children(above12yrs) should get concession in (govt/pvt) schools & Railway for higer studies.
