The Indian Ministry of Railways has issued two Railway Board Circulars on 24 March 2023. The first circular, RBE No. 46/2023, provides guidelines for the acceptance chain of Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs) of Group ‘C’ staff in a Division. The second circular, RBE No. 47/2023, allows officers and staff posted to the Jammu-Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) Project to retain railway accommodation at their previous place of posting beyond 31 March 2023, on normal rent for a further period of one year or until completion of the project, whichever is earlier. This decision has been made by the Full Board, in exercise of their powers to make reasonable relaxations in public interest for a class/group of employees in all or any of the provisions regarding house allotment/retention.
