CHAPTER 1 - Border Roads Organisation

Premature Reversion to Regimental Duties
RESTRICTED
6. Premature reversion to Regimental duty before completion of normal tenure on ERE
may be asked on the following grounds :-
(a) Unsuitability : An individual found unsuitable for the specific
appointment to which he is posted may be reverted to regimental duties within three
months of reporting for his duty. Reversion will be carried out with the prior approval of
Officer-in-Charge Records concerned. Relief of personnel reverted will be provided by
the Officer-in-Charge concerned Records.
(b) Discipline grounds : Formation HQ/Unit/Est employing personnel on ERE will
not revert individuals to regimental duties on disciplinary grounds. They will take
appropriate action against such individuals. Except in a very rare case of major
indiscipline, premature reversion on disciplinary grounds will not be ordered. In all such
cases where premature reversion is required, prior approval of parent Directorate Army
HQs will be obtained through GREF Records/DGBR after suitable disciplinary action
has been taken.
(c) Inefficiency : Personnel found inefficient in the duties will be adversely reported
upon by the ERE Fmn/HQs/Unit/Est in the form of special report or interim report to be
recorded with the ACR. In all such cases, specific recommendations will be made in
their report whether the individual is fit for retention in service or not.
(d) Special grounds : Officer-in-Charge Records concerned may revert an
individual prematurely within six months of completion of tenure. Such reversion will be
carried out in consultation with the ERE Unit/Fmn/HQs/Est.
Posting/Transfer on Compassionate Grounds
7. All requests for compassionate postings/transfer of Army personnel on ERE with GREF
Units will be forwarded by the Projects to GREF Record Office alongwith recommendations of
the Chief Engineer concerned on proper proforma introduced by the respective Army Record
Office twice a year during Apr & Oct only. While forwarding such cases to GREF Records, it
will be clearly stated whether replacement is required or not. GREF Records will scrutinise these
cases and take necessary action in consultation with parent Record Office of the individual. Only
those cases where action is required to be taken with Directorate concerned at Army
Headquarters will be forwarded to HQ DGBR by GREF Records Office.
