OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Reservation in promotion – Treatment of SC/ST candidates promoted on their own merit.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s O.M.No.36028/17/2001-Estt(Res.) dated 11th July: 2002 which clarified that SC/ ST candidates appointed by promotion on their own merit and not owing to reservation or relaxation of qualifications will be adjusted against un-reserved points of the reservation roster and not against reserved points. It was subsequently clarified by this Department’s O.M. No.36028/17/2001- Estt. (Res.) dated 31.1.2005 that the above referred O.M. took effect from 11.7.2002 and that concept of own merit did not apply to the promotions made by non-selection method.
2. Central Administration Tribunal, Madras Bench in O.A. No.900/2005[S. Kalugasalamoorthy v/s. Union of India & Others] has set aside the O.M.No.36028/17/2001-Estt. (Res.) dated 31.1.2005 and held that when a person is selected on the basis of his own seniority. the scope of considering and counting him against quota reserved for SCs does not arise. The High Court of judicature at Madras in the matter of UOI v/s.S. Kalugasalamoorthy [ WP No.15926/2007 ] has upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal.
3. The matter has been examined in the light of the above referred judgments and it has been decided to withdraw O.M. No. 36028/17/2001- Estt. (Res.) dated 31.1.2005 referred to above. It is clarified that SC/ST candidates appointed by promotion on their own merit and seniority and not owing to reservation or relaxation of qualifications will be adjusted against unreserved points of reservation roster. irrespective of the fact whether the
promotion is made by selection method or non-selection method. These orders will take effect from 2.7.1997. the date on which post based reservation was introduced.
4. These instructions may be brought to the notice of all concerned.

Sir, In the Income Tax Department the percentage of marks to qualify the Deptt. Exam for ITO is 50% for general caste employees whereas 45% is for SC/ST employees to qualify for exam. If a general caste employee get 45% he/she can write for 50%, but if an employee of reserved catagory get 45%, he/she declared pass by the Deptt and he/she can not allowed to write for 50%. In this situation, a reserved employee denied to write for 50% which is fixed by the Deptt. for general catagory and the Deptt is also not giving promotion to the reserved employees even if they are seniors than the general. Sir, will the DOPT clarify the issue of own merit to the CBDT. Thousands of reserved employees have been debarred from promotion to the post of ITO/IIT for which they are being harassed by the Deptt.
sir i wants to know whether sc/st in service if ttey aer eligilble to get 19present seats to be reserve for them in promotion
Sir, Some direct recruited Inspectors promoted as ITO on the basis of deemed date of joining in Kanpur charge in 2005 leaving senior promoted Inspectors on the basis of substantive date of joining. As per new DOPT directions No.36012 dated 10.8.2010, the seniority of the looser Inspectors who promoted later as ITO will get their seniority before the juniors (who had been promoted on the basis of deemed date of joining), and will be promoted in the next cadre of ACIT before the juniors, on the basis of seniority of their own also.
Sir, Kindly send by mail the latest promotion rules and what would be the fate of such type of me people who are suffering from the disparity of promotion of juniors prior to me.
Phool Chand.
Sir,
If a reserved candidate is selected by securing the marks equivalent to the marks obtained by general candidate and later on pass the departmental examination by securing the lesser marks i.e. relaxation available to reserved candidates. whether he will promoted against the vacancy of General candidate.
OR
If the candidate is selected as reserved candidate and later on pass the departmental examination by securing marks equivalent to general candidates. whether he will promoted against the vacancy of General candidate
while arriving at the conclusion term of own merit, if any reserved candidate get general standard of aggregating marks i.e. 50%, even one of the subject was passed with relaxed standard. did own merit count by means of aggregating mark?
for example if candidates get passed below 50% than they may be treated as passed with relax standard but by virtu of aggregating marks own merit may reckoned. becouse methodology not mention any where except the term “passed with relaxed stanadard” did not take away marking scheme of agreagating. becouse on the basis of aggregating marks candidate declared passed and then only seniority list is prepared.
Privatization is going on in state electricity board. I was selected with reservation in promotion. will i be able to get reservation after privatization and unbundling of seb? Please help to solve query.
Depriving the reserved categories candidates from promotion in central Govt. services I am facing the problem that the junior fellow who are unreserved have been promoted earlier to their counterpart due to non-sticking to SRO by authority this has made a complete disparity and violation of constitutional safeguard to the reserve candidates and the complaint has been made to SC/ST commission and national commission for schedule caste New Delhi similarly complaint letter sent to deparment ( Ordnace factoy Board Kolkata Ministry of Defence )But neither department nor ST/SC commission taking it seriously ultimately the individuals is demoralized and his Junior(one and half years) fellow become a Group A gageted and now 2years senior which will DOPT or any other agency is their who can give justice to the individuals please kindly inform or write in a post comment please !!
Please first verify whether reservation in Class A is applicable,then take up the issue through SC/ST welfare association.

the operative part of the order is.
39. The net result is that no reservation in promotion could be made in pursuance to office memorandum dated 2.7.1997. We are not dealing with many other contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners for the reason that the core issue going to the roots of the matter has been determined in their favour and such a necessity is obviated.
40. As a sequel to the above discussion, the judgment of the
Tribunal is set aside. The instructions dated 31.1.2005 (R-2) stands
withdrawn on 10.8.2010 (P-10). Therefore, no order is required to
be passed in respect of those instructions dealing with the subject
of reservation in promotion and the treatment of SC/ST candidates
promoted on their own merit. Likewise, the instructions dated
10.8.2010 (P-16) are hereby quashed because they are in direct
conflict with the view taken by the Constitution Bench in M. M.
Nagaraj Nagaraj’s case ’s case ’s case (supra) (supra) (supra) and Suraj Bhan Meena’s case (supra) Suraj Bhan Meena’s case (supra) Suraj Bhan Meena’s case (supra). It is further directed that the seniority and promotion of the Income Tax Inspectors shall be made without any element of reservation in

SC quashes promotion quota in UP
New Delhi: Terming the move unconstitutional, the Supreme Court has quashed Uttar Pradesh government’s decision to provide reservation benefits for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes & OBCs in promotions to higher posts, saying the same was done without any sufficient data. Upholding a bunch of petitions filed by aggrieved general category employees challenging the reservation in promotions, the apex court said the state failed to furnish sufficient valid data to justify the move to promote employees on caste basis.
