Office Memorandum
Subject : Reservation for the physically handicapped in the posts
filled by promotion.
The undersigned is directed to invite attention to O.M.No. 36035/8/89.Estt.
(SCT) dated 20.11.1989 of the Department of Personnel and Training
on the subject noted above. Subsequent to the issue of the afore
said office Memorandum, a number of references are received from
Ministries and Department regarding difficulties being faced in
calculating/operating the posts reserved for the physically handicapped
as per the office Memorandum. The matter has been examined in the
light of the problems faced by Ministries departments and it has
been decided that :
-
For providing reservation to the physically handicapped in
promotion, which would be 3 % of such posts, a separate register
of 100 points will be maintained for a post identified to be
manned by the physically handicapped, in which point No.33,67
and 100 will be reserved for the Physically Handicapped. The
Heads of Departments may start the point No.33 with any kind
of disability depending on the availability of feeder grade
belonged to Orthopaedically Handicapped category he may utilize
the point by promoting the officer, However, he must ensure
hat there is proper rotation of reservation Handicapped persons
promoted under the reservation provided for them as her the
point in the above mentioned register should be placed in the
appropriate category viz SC/ST/General candidates depending
upon the category to which they belong in the promotion roster.
To illustrate, if in a given year there are two vacancies reserved
for the Physically Handicapped and out of two Physically Handicapped
candidates promoted, one belongs to the Scheduled Castes and
the other to general category then the Physically Handicapped
SC candidate will be adjusted against the SC point in the reservation
poster and the other general candidate against general category
point in the relevant reservation roster. In case the number
of vacancies against which promoting is made is less and none
of the vacancies falls n points reserved for the SC or ST but
one of the vacancies is to be reserved for the Physically Handicapped
(as per the point in the register) and the officer promoted
belongs to a reserved community, the next available reserved
point in the reservation poster for that category will be utilized
for adjusting the reserved candidate, e.g.if there are three
vacancies falling under point 5, 6&7 which are to be treated
as unreserved as peer the promotion poster out of which one
vacancy has to be reserved for Physically Handicapped as per
the point in the register and if the officer selected under
the quota reserved for Physically Handicapped belongs to SC,
he would be adjusted against the next available SC point i.e.
Point No. 8.
-
In the cases where the percentage of posts filled by Direct
Recruitment is 75% or more, no reservation will be provided
for any category including the Physically Handicapped while
filling up the posts by promotion.
-
While filling posts by promotion, by selection, against vacancies
reserved for the Physically Handicapped, the Physically Handicapped
candidates who are within the normal zone of consideration will
be considered. Where adequate numbers of Physically Handicapped
candidates, of the appropriate category of handicap are not
available within the normal zone, the zone of consideration
may be extended to five times the normal size and the Physically
Handicapped persons falling within the extended zone maybe considered.
In the event of non availability of an officer even in the extended
zone the posts could be exchanged with other categories of handicap,
identified for the relevant post and the reservation carried
forward for the next three recruitment years, where after it
will lapse.
-
In posts filled by promotion by non-selection, the eligible
Physically Handicapped candidates can be considered for promotion
against the reserved vacancies and in case no eligible Physically
Handicapped candidate of the appropriate category of handicap,
is available, the post will be exchanged with other categories
of handicap, identified for it, and reservation carried forward
for the nest three recruitment years where after it will lapse.
All Ministries/Departments are requested to bring the above instructions
to the notice of all Heads of Department and appointing authorities
under their control for compliance.
