Sub: Engagement of Ex-Servicemen as Gatemen on Contract Basis.

Ref: Board's letter No. E(NG)II/2021/RC-4/1 dated 06.10.2023 (RBE No.113/2023) and dated 01.03.2024 (RBE No. 20/2024)

In terms of Board's letter cited under reference, the scheme for engagement of Ex-servicemen as Gatemen (both Civil & Traffic departments) on contract basis was last extended up to 30.09.2024.

2. The aforesaid scheme has been reviewed and it has now been decided to extend the scheme of engagement of Ex-servicemen on contract basis against the existing vacancies for a further period of three months beyond 01.10.2024 i.e. up to 31.12.2024 as per extant terms and conditions. Engagement should be made in the category of Gateman only. The Railway wise quota of such engagement shall be as per the existing numbers as indicated in the Annexures to Board's letters dated 06.10.2023 and 01.03.2024. Since the actual requirement at each railway is a dynamic figure dependent on the results of recruitment exercises, etc, the number of Gatemen allotted should be treated as a ceiling and reviewed as per actual requirement and need.

3. It may be ensured that the engagement of Ex-servicemen as Gatemen on contract basis is mandatorily done through GeM only.

4. It is reiterated that the above engagements should be phased out gradually with the joining of regular employees. This should be closely monitored at zonal level.
