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 aforesaid office Memorandum, a number of
references were 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 being
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 point No 33 with any
kind of disability depending on the availability of feeder
grade officer i.e. if senior most officer in the feeder
grade belongs to Orthopaedically Handicapped category he
may utilise the point by promoting the officer, However,
he must ensure that there is proper rotation of reservation
among the different categories of disabilities.
The physically handicapped persons promoted under the reservation
provided for them as per 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 roste. 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 other to general category than the physically handicapped
SC candidate will be adjusted against the SC point in the
reservation roster and the other general candidate against
general category point in the relevant reservation roster.
In case the number of vacancies against which promotion
is made is less and none of the vacancies falls on points
reserved for the SC or the 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 roaster for that category will be utilised
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 per the promotion roster
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 too SC, he would be adjusted against
the next available SC point i.e point No 8. b
-
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 number
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 may be 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 next 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.
