The Ministry of Railways in India has issued a notification, RBE No. 84/2023, regarding the creation of non-gazetted revenue posts (crew only) on Railways. Previously, there was a ban on creating new posts without the approval of the Department of Expenditure.
However, due to the difficulties faced by Zonal Railways in crew rationalization and the creation of non-gazetted revenue posts resulting from the crew review exercise, the Ministry of Finance has granted an exemption. They have delegated powers to the Railways to create non-gazetted revenue posts (crew only) as part of the crew review exercise.
The Zonal Railways are now authorized to create such posts in consultation with Zonal Finance. Any clarifications regarding this delegation should be addressed to the Manpower Planning Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
