* SCHEDULE - V
The method of carrying forward of vacancies reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes candidates by direct recruitment is illustrated below:—
If five vacancies reserved for the candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes remain unfilled in earlier years and they are carried forward as “backlog” vacancies and fifty
new vacancies arise in the year of recruitment of which nine vacancies are to be reserved for the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes fifteen vacancies for the Backward Classes, ten vacancies
for the Most Backward Classes and Denotified communities and sixteen vacancies for open
competition following the existing instructions on reservation, the number of vacancies to be
announced shall be as follows:—
Current Vacancies Backlog Vacancies
Open Scheduled Backward Most Scheduled Castes
competition Castes & Classes Backward and
Scheduled Classes and Scheduled
Tribes Denotified Tribes
communities
Number 16 9 15 10 5
of Posts
It may be seen from the above that while the vacancies reserved for the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes which remain unfilled shall be carried forward to the next year of recruitment as
“backlog” vacancies, the carried forward reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
on the 1st April 1989 as a result of the filling up of the relevant vacancies after dereservation, shall
continue to be operated against “current” vacancies. If such reserved vacancies are still not filled up,
they shall be carried forward as “back log” vacancies.
While the ban on dereservation comes into effect on the 1st April 1989 in respect of direct
recruitment to Group A, B, C & D in case of vacancies in Groups A and B Services, there may be rare
and exceptional cases where after the non-availability of suitable candidates belonging to the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes posts cannot be allowed to remain vacant in public interest.
In such situations, the Administrative Department under which the recruitment is being made shall
make a proposal for dereservation giving full justification for such action, and consult the Director of
Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare and the Secretary to Government, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare
and obtain the comments on each proposal. After obtaining the comments of the Director of Adi
Dravidar and Tribal Welfare and the Secretary, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, the
administrative department shall then place the proposal for dereservation along with the comments of
the Director of Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare before a committee comprising the Secretary to
Government, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, the Secretary to Government, Personnel
and Administrative Reforms Department and the Secretary to Government in charge of the
Department to which the recruitment is being made for consideration and recommendation. The
recommendation of this committee shall be placed before the Minister in charge of the Personnel and
Administrative Reforms Department and the Minister for Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare, for a final
decision.
In case of such vacancies reserved for Most Backward Classes and Denotified communities, the
administrative department in which the recruitment is being made shall make a proposal for
dereservation giving full justification for such action, and consult the Director of Most Backward
Classes and Denotified Communities and obtain the comments on each proposal. After obtaining the
comments of the Director of Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities and the Secretary
to Government in charge of the department for the welfare of the Most Backward Classes and
Denotified Communities, the Administrative Department shall then place the proposal for
dereservation along with the comments of the Director of Most Backward Classes and Denotified
Communities before a committee comprising the Secretary to Government in charge of the
Department for the welfare of the Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities, The
Secretary to Government (Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department) and the Secretary to
Government in charge of the Department in which the recruitment is being made for consideration and
recommendation. The recommendation of this Committee shall be placed before the Minister in
charge of the personnel and Administrative Reforms Department and the Minister for Backward
Classes, Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities Welfare for a final decision.
