4. All Ministries/Department are requested to bring these instruction to the notice of all<br />
authorities under them.<br />
Ministry of Home Affairs OM No 16/8/69-Estt. (SCT), dated 31 st October, 1969 to all<br />
Ministries etc. According to para 2 (c) of this Ministry‟s office Memorandum No 1/12/67-Estt.<br />
(C), dated the 11 th Jul 1968, while there is no reservation for Scheduled castes and Scheduled<br />
tribes in appointments made by promotion on the basis of seniority subject to fitness, cases<br />
involving supersession of Scheduled castes and Scheduled Tribes Officers in Class I and II<br />
appointments are required to be submitted for prior approval to the Minister or Deputy Minister<br />
concerned and cases involving supersession of Officers belonging to these categories in Class<br />
III and IV appointment are required to be reported within a month to the Minister or Deputy<br />
Minister concerned for information. It has been brought to the notice of this Ministry that some<br />
cases of supersession of Scheduled Caste/Tribes Officers were not submitted or reported to the<br />
Minister as required under the instructions referred to above. It is, therefore, requested that all<br />
the Ministries and departments may enjoin on the authorities under their control to ensure that<br />
the prescribed procedure in this regard is strictly observed. The Liaison Officers who have been<br />
nominated in the Ministries/Departments and in the Offices under the Heads of Departments for<br />
the purpose of ensuring proper compliance of the orders relating to reservation of Scheduled<br />
Castes and Scheduled Tribes may specially watch proper implementation of the aforesaid orders<br />
in the offices under their charge.<br />
6. Relaxation of Standards in Departments Competitive Examination and<br />
Confirmation Examinations.<br />
Copy of Department of Personnel OM No 8/12/69-Estt. (SCT), dated<br />
23 rd December, 1970 to all Ministries etc.<br />
Attention of the Ministry of Finance etc. is invited to Ministry of Home Affairs OM No.<br />
1/1/70-Estt. (SCT), dated 25 th July, 1970 in which it has been provided that in the case of direct<br />
recruitment, whether by examination or otherwise, if sufficient number of Scheduled<br />
caste/Scheduled Tribes candidates are not available on the basis of the general standard to fill all<br />
the vacancies reserved for them, candidates belonging to these communities may be selected to<br />
fill up the remaining vacancies reserved for them provided they are not found unfit for<br />
appointment to such post or posts. A question has been raised whether relaxation in the<br />
qualifying standards could be granted to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes candidates on the<br />
same basis in promotions made through departmental competitive examinations and in<br />
departmental confirmation examinations where such examinations re-prescribed to determine<br />
the suitability of candidates for confirmations. The matter has been carefully considered and it<br />
has been decided that in promotions confirmations made through such examinations, Scheduled<br />
Caste/Scheduled Tribes candidates who have not acquired the general qualification standard in<br />
such examinations could also be considered for promotion/confirmations. In other words, the<br />
qualifying standards in these examinations could be relaxed in favour of scheduled<br />
castes/scheduled tribes candidates in keeping with the above criterion.<br />
