File No. 5/9/2013-Welfare

Ministry of Finance

Department of Financial Services (Welfare)

New Delhi, dated 23rd September, 2013.

To
The CEO of all PSBs/F1s/PSICs and RBI.

Subject: Giving preference to SC candidates for the posts of Safai Karamcharies, regarding.

Sir,
It is reported that some of the PSBs have appointed general category candidates against the posts of Safai Karamcharies. Though, none of the mandate of DOP&T suggests earmarking the posts of Safai Karamcharies exclusively for SC candidates, however, keeping in view the fact that deprived over centuries, candidates belonging to the families who are traditionally doing the work of cleanliness, still need special care.

It is therefore, requested that while making recruitment of Safai Karamcharies, care may be taken that candidates belonging to families who are traditionally doing the work of cleanliness may be given preference over others while making appointment on the posts of Safai Karamcharies.

Yours faithfully,

sd/-
