The Vadodara Division on the behest of Unions and corrupt officers has given the seniority to HBC over CBC only in booking/luggage cadres, Hope the Railway Board will take the decision on the seniority issue soon.

With the decision of Railway
With the decision of Railway Board regarding the seniority of commercial apprentice i.e. they will be placed below 4200, has created confusion as the main intention of Railways were to bring up in senior supervisors level in quickest time, so that they were available for middle management in Railways, but now they are placed at the bottom of 4200 and there is no exam being conducted for 4600 as the promotion to employee is being given purely in seniority so it will took almost 10 more years to come to the grade of 4600.It seems that Railways is on the suicidal path. God help the Railways
Thanks

Respected Sir,
I got selected finally for CA around three month back from RRB Chandigarh, but didn't't get any correspondence from NR Hqs. Now, should I contact personally to NR or wait for their letter. Can you give expected date of joining.
Moreover I think the duration of 2 years training of CA is more . Is there any possibility of reduction of training period in future or there is change in amount of stipend.
In one of comments of this page it is given that in some of the divisions the time to be promoted to next grade pay is more than 10 yrs, is it true.
Thanks
