A request for clarification has been made by one of the Zonal Railways regarding the selection of medically de-categorized staff for the 20% LDCE quota. The question raised was whether their previous service in their previous unit before being de-categorized could be counted towards their eligibility for LDCE in OS category if they were absorbed in alternative posts in the ministerial cadre. The Board’s office has examined the matter well and clarified that their previous service in the relevant scale just before medical de-categorization could be considered along with their service in the alternative post for all departmental examinations including LDCE.
