DoPT orders on Reservation for SC/ST | DoPT guidelines for Reservation in Promotion
In the Central Government, reservation policies for promotions are in place to ensure that members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes are adequately represented in civil posts and services through direct recruitment on an All India basis. The percentages of reservation allotted to these groups are 15%, 7.5%, and 27%, respectively.
The Constitutional Provision for Promotion in Reservation is outlined in Article 16(4), which allows the state to make provisions for the reservation of appointments or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens who are not adequately represented in the services under the State.
Regarding the new promotion rules for Central Government employees, specific tenure requirements must be met for each level. For instance, an employee must serve for at least three years for promotion from Level 1 to Level 2, and eight years from Level 3 to Level 4. For promotion from Level 6 to Level 12, an employee must remain employed for at least 12 years.
Reservation in promotion by non-selection method is available to SCs and STs in all groups of services (A, B, C, and D) at the rate of 15% and 7.5%, respectively. If promotion is by selection method, reservation is available up to the lowest rung of Group ‘A’ at the same rates.
