“PROMOTION POLICY-RELAXATIONS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

All of you are aware that AIBOC had taken up the relaxation for the requirement of Rural /Semi urban postings, APAR marks etc , which are the road block in the promotion process, with the Government of India. The common guidelines for promotion issued by Government of India, resulted in non availability of candidates in all scales and our Bank Management also took up the issue with the Government.

We are pleased to inform that some more relaxations are permitted by the Government due to our relentless efforts and this should meet the hopes and aspirations of the officers. We reproduce here below the revised guidelines, for your information.

The Zone of considerations for promotion should be generally 3 times the number of anticipated vacancies. However, incase these many officers are not available; the zone of consideration shall be atleast two times the number of likely vacancies. For this purpose, the Board of Directors of the Bank may further relax minimum eligibility in length of service by up to six months over and above one year already provided in the guidelines dated 14.03.2012. The relaxation beyond one year in eligibility shall be granted only to the extent that officers at two times the number of vacancies become eligible.

Vacant positions must be filled subject to the suitability of officers within the zone of consideration as per the Guidelines.

All officers who are eligible on the cut-off date of experience requirement would be included in the zone of consideration.

The officers against whom disciplinary proceedings are in process would be considered in addition to the requirement of zone of consideration as mentioned at (i) above and the recommendations in respect of such officers shall be kept in a sealed cover.

The requirement of minimum 75% marks in APAR in each of the year under consideration would be relaxed to the extent of 60% marks APAR in each year for only those scales where passing of an examination by IBPS is mandatory for promotion.

The condition of not granting the benefit of relaxation in minimum experience at two successive levels of promotions in Scale – III and above, as prescribed at Para 5 (iv) of the guidelines dated 14.04.2012 stands withdrawn.

The provisions regarding reservations/concessions, etc., in respect of promotion of SC/ST employees and any other category of employees be followed as per the extant Guidelines in the matter.”

Friends, we are happy that your Confederation / Federation has once again proved that we are always at the forefront in taking up the problems of the officers and in mitigating the hardships faced by them on various issues from time to time.

With greetings,

Sd/-
