Projects and TF Commanders were authorised to hold DPC for certain categories of GREF
personnel. As a result of the above, it was experienced that DPC quota / vacancies in some

situation, DGBR vide their letter No. 25211/GC/795/E1D dated 27/30 Jul 74 have decided that

the DGBR. A tentative programme for DPC promotion is prepared by GREF Records every
year well in advance and programme is circulated to the Project for necessary action to furnish
requisite information / documents by the due date. The DPC is conducted by GREF Records
strictly according to the programme after obtaining approval from DGBR and the DPC
proceedings are finalised in the light of documents and information available with Records
