EFFECTING RESERVATION - MAINTENANCE OF ROSTERS: > > (a) All establishments shall maintain separate 100 point > reservation roster registers in the format given in Annexure II for > determining / effecting reservation for the disabled - one each for Group > 'A' posts filled by direct recruitment, Group 'B' posts filled by direct > recruitment, Group 'C posts filled by direct recruitment, Group 'C posts > filled by promotion, Group 'D' posts filled by direct recruitment and Group > 'D' posts filled by promotion. > > (b) Each register shall have cycles of 100 points and each cycle > of 100 points shall be divided into three blocks, comprising the following > points: lsl Block - point No.l to point No.33 2nd Block - point No. 34 to > point No.66 3rd Block - point No.67 to point No.l00 > > (c) Points 1, 34 and 67 of the roster shall be earmarked reserved > for persons with disabilities - one point for each of the three categories > of disabilities. The head of the establishment shall decide the categories > of disabilities for which the points 1,34 and 67 will be reserved keeping > in view all relevant facts. > > (d) All the vacancies in Group C posts falling in direct > recruitment quota arising in the establishment shall be entered in the > relevant roster register. If the post falling at point no. 1 is not > identified for the disabled or the head of the establishment considers it > desirable not to fill it up by a disabled person or it is not possible to > fill up that post by the disabled for any other reason, one of the > vacancies falling at any of the points from 2 to 33 shall be treated as > reserved for the disabled and filled as such, Likewise a vacancy falling at > any of the points from 34 to 66 or from 67 to 100 shall be filled by the > disabled. The purpose of keeping points 1, 34 and 67 as reserved is to fill > up the first available suitable vacancy from 1 to 33, first available > suitable vacancy from 34 to 66 and first available suitable vacancy from 67 > to 100 by persons with disabilities. > > (e) There is a possibility that none of the vacancies from 1 to > 33 is suitable for any category of the disabled. In that case two vacancies > from 34 to 66 shall be filled as reserved for persons with disabilities. If > the vacancies from 34 to 66 are also not suitable for any category, three > vacancies shall be filled as reserved from the third block containing > points from 67 to 100. This means that if no vacancy can be reserved in a > particular block, it shall be carried into the next block. > > (f) After all the 100 points of the roster are covered, a fresh > cycle of 100 points shall start. > > (g) If the number of vacancies in a year is such as to cover only > one block or two, discretion as to which category of the disabled should be > accommodated first shall vest in the head of the establishment, who shall > decide on the basis of the nature of the post, the level of representation > of the specific disabled category in the concerned grade/post etc. > > (h) A separate roster shall be maintained for group C posts filled > by promotion and procedure as explained above shall be followed for giving > reservation to persons with disabilities.

INTER SE EXCHANGE AND CARRY FORWARD OF RESERVATION IN CASE OF DIRECT > RECRUITMENT: > > (a) Reservation for each of the three categories of persons with > disabilities shall be made separately. But if the nature of vacancies in an > establishment is such that a person of a specific category of disability > cannot be employed, the vacancies may be interchanged among the three > categories with the approval of the Ministry of Social Justice & > Empowerment and reservation may be determined and vacancies filled > accordingly. > > (b) If any vacancy reserved for any category of disability cannot > be filled due to non-availability of a suitable person with that disability > or, for any other sufficient reason, such vacancy shall not be filled and > shall be carried forward as a 'backlog reserved vacancy' to the subsequent > recruitment year. > > (c) In the subsequent recruitment year the 'backlog reserved > vacancy' shall be treated as reserved for the category of disability for > which it was kept reserved in the initial year of recruitment. However, if > a suitable person with that disability is not available, it may be filled > by interchange, among the three categories of disabilities. In case no > suitable person with disability is available for filling up the post in the > subsequent year also, the employer may fill up the vacancy by appointment > of a person other than a person with disability. If the vacancy is filled > by a person with disability of the category for which it was reserved or by > a person of other category of disability by inter se exchange in the > subsequent recruitment year, it will be treated to have been filled by > reservation. But if the vacancy is filled by a person other than a person > with disability in the subsequent recruitment year, reservation shall be > carried forward for a further period upto two recruitment years whereafter > the reservation shall lapse. In these two subsequent years, if situation so > arises, the procedure for filling up the reserved vacancy shall be the same > as followed in the first subsequent recruitment year. > > 17. In order to ensure that cases of lapse of reservation are kept > to the minimum, any recruitment of the disabled candidates shall first be > counted against the additional quota brought forward from previous years, > if any, in their chronological order. If candidates are not available for > all the vacancies, the older carried forward reservation would be filled > first and the relatively later carried forward reservation would be further > carried forward. > > > > 18. CONSIDERATION ZONE. INTERSE EXCHANGE ANP CARRY FORWARD OF > RESERVATION IN CASE OF PROMOTION > > (a) While filling up the reserved vacancies by promotion by selection, the > disabled candidates who are within the normal zone of consideration shall > be considered for promotion. Where adequate number of disabled 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 number of > vacancies and the persons with disabilities falling within the extended > zone may be considered. In the event of non availability of candidates even > in the extended zone, the reservation can be exchanged so that post can be > filled by a person with other category of disability, if possible.

If it is not possible to fill up the > post by reservation even by exchange, the reservation shall be carried > forward for upto three subsequent recruitment years whereafter it shall > lapse. > > > > 19. HORIZONTALITY OF RESERVATION FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: Reservation > for backward classes of citizens (SCs, STs and OBCs) is called vertical > reservation and the reservation for categories such as persons with > disabilities and 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 persons with > disabilities and out of two persons with disabilities 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 fails on > point reserved for the SCs, the disabled candidate belonging to SC shall be > adjusted in future against the next available vacancy reserved for SCs. > > > > 20. Since the persons with disabilities 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 persons with > disabilities to indicate whether they belong to SC/ST/OBC or General > category. > > > > 21. RELAXATION IN AGE LIMIT. > > (i) Upper'agelimitfor persons with disabilities shall be > relaxable (a) by ten years (15 years for SCs/STs and 13 years for OBCs) in > case of direct recruitment to Group *C and Group 'P' posts; (b) by 5 years > (10 years for SCs/STs and 8 years for OBCs) in case of direct recruitment > to Group 'A' and Group 'B' posts where recruitment is made otherwise than > through open competitive examination; and (c) > > by 10 years (15 years for SCs/STs and 13 years for OBCs) in case of direct > recruitment to Group A and Group B posts through open competitive > examination. > > > > (ii) Relaxation in age limit shall be applicable irrespective of > the fact whether the post is reserved or not, provided the post is > identified suitable for persons with disabilities. > > > > 22. RELAXATION OF STANDARD OF SUITABILITY: If sufficient number of persons > with disabilities are not available on the basis of the general standard to > "fill all the vacancies reserved for them, candidates belonging to this > category may be selected on relaxed standard to fill up the remaining > vacancies reserved for them provided they are not found unfit for such post > or posts. Thus, to the extent the number of vacancies reserved for persons > with disabilities cannot be filled on the basis of general standards, > candidates belonging to this category may be taken by relaxing the > standards to make up the deficiency in the reserved quota subject to the > fitness of these candidates for appointment to the post / posts in > question. > > > > 23. MEDICAL EXAMINATION: As per Rule 10 of the Fundamental Rules, > every new entrant to Government Service on initial appointment is required > to produce a medical certificate of fitness issued by a competent > authority. In case of medical examination of a person with disability for > appointment to a post identified as suitable to be held by a person > suffering from a particular kind of disability, the concerned Medical > Officer or Board shall be informed beforehand that the post is identified > suitable to be held by persons with disability of the relevant category and > the candidate shall then be examined medically keeping this fact in view. > > > > 24. EXEMPTION FROM PAYMENT OF EXAMINATION FEE AND APPLICATION FEE: > Persons with disabilities shall be exempt from payment of application fee > and examination fee, prescribed in respect of competitive examinations held > by the Staff Selection Commission, the Union Public Service Commission etc. > for recruitment to various posts. This exemption shall be available only to > such persons who would otherwise be eligible for appointment to the post on > the basis of standards of medical fitness prescribed for that post > (including any concession specifically extended to the disabled persons) > and who enclose with the application form, necessary certificate from a > competent authority in support of their claim of disability. > > > > 25. NOTICE OF VACANCIES: In order to ensure that persons with > disabilities get a fair opportunity in consideration for appointment to an > identified post, the following points shall be kept in view while sending > the requisition notice to the Employment Exchange, the SSC, the UPSC etc. > and while advertising the vacancies:- > > (i) Number of vacancies reserved for > SCs/STs/OBCs/Ex-Servicemen/Persons suffering from Blindness or Low > Vision/Persons suffering from Hearing Impairment/Persons suffering from > Locomotor > > Disability or Cerebral Palsy should be indicated clearly. > > (ii) In case of vacancies in posts identified suitable to be held > by persons with disability, it shall be indicated that the post is > identified for persons with disabilities suffering from blindness or tow > vision; > > hearing impairment; and/or locomotor disability or cerebral palsy, as the > case may be, and that the persons with disabilities belonging to the > category/categories for which the post is identified shall be > > allowed to apply even if no vacancies are reserved for them.
