Ex-Servicemen Recuritment in PSUs

As per the instructions issued by the Government, the reservation for ex-servicemen and dependents of those killed in action in the Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) is 14.5% in Group ‘C’ and 24.5% in Group ‘D’. The Government has further advised the CPSEs to identify the posts where ex-servicemen could be appointed. A comprehensive list of those posts, together with their pay scales and qualitative requirements, is to be forwarded by the CPSEs to the Director General, (Resettlement), Ministry of Defence, to enable them to sponsor suitable persons for these jobs. CPSEs are required to give preference to the ex-servicemen for appointment to the posts in their security departments.

When suitable ex-servicemen are not made available by the local Employment Exchange for filling up the reserved vacancies in Group ‘C’ and Group ‘D’ posts, CPSEs are required to write to the Directorate General (Resettlement) for sponsoring suitable ex-servicemen against such posts.

Implementation of these instructions in CPSEs is monitored by the administrative Ministries/Departments concerned with CPSEs.

Public Sector Enterprises are not to de-reserve any vacancy reserved for ex-servicemen, unless a non-availability certificate is given by the Directorate General (Resettlement), Ministry of Defence. This was stated by Shri Arun Yadav, Minister of State for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in the Lok Sabha today.
