RESTRICTED
MEDICAL CATEGORISATION – GREF PERSONNEL
Introduction
1. GREF Personnel are governed by Central Civil Services (Medical Examination ) Rules
1957. However in view of the role of GREF and deployment pattern of GREF personnel, it is
necessary to lay down a separate medical categorisation policy for them. It is imperative that all
GREF personnel are placed in suitable medical categories as per their medical condition. Since
the GREF personnel are deployed based on their medical categories it is incumbent on them to
report to medical authorities for placement in appropriate medical category after they suffer
from disease/disability.
Aim
2. The aim of these instructions is to lay down a proper medical categorisation policy, as
well as to familiarise all concerned with regard to their responsibilities in the matter of
placement of GREF personnel (Officers and Subordinates) in proper medical categories.
Personnel on deputation will also be covered by this policy. However service Officers and
PBOR serving with BRO will continue to be governed by the policies of their parent
department.
Medical Categories
3. The various medical categories for GREF personnel are given below. These medical
categories are to facilitate deployment of individuals by the administrative authorities and also to
help the individuals to recover from their disease and disabilities :-
