The Central Government has issued new recruitment rules for Group ‘C’ posts within the Central Administrative Tribunal, superseding the 1987 rules. These rules, effective from their publication in the Official Gazette, outline the number of posts, their classification, and pay scales. They detail the method of recruitment, including age limits and qualifications required for direct recruits. The document also specifies disqualifications, such as prior marriages to individuals with living spouses. Provisions for relaxation of rules by the Chairman of the Tribunal are included, along with a saving clause that preserves existing reservations and concessions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Ex-servicemen, and other special categories. Specific roles covered include Staff Car Driver (Ordinary Grade, Grade II, and Special Grade), Dispatch Rider, Gestetner Operator, Photocopier, and Multi-Tasking Staff, detailing their recruitment methods, eligibility criteria, and departmental promotion committee compositions.
