THE DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND TRAINING (DOPT) NEW DELHI HAS ISSUED THE COMPREHENSIVE F.A.Q. (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS) ON THE RESERVATION POLICY FOR EX SERVICE MEN AS FOLLOWS
Question 1 : What is the policy of reservation for ex-servicemen ?
ANS : The policy of reservation for Ex-servicemen is governed by the Ex-servicemen (Re-employment in Central Civil Services and posts) Rules, 1979. These rules apply to all the Central Civil Services and Posts, Group “C” and Group “D” and the posts of the level of Assistant Commandant in all para military forces.
Question 2 : What is the percentage of resrvation provided to the ex-servicemen ?
ANSWER : Ten percent of the vacancies in the psots of the level of Assistant Commandant in all para military forces, ten percentage of the vacancies in each of the categories of Group ‘C’ and of such posts in Group ‘C’ services, including permanent vacancies filled initially on a temporary basis and temporary vacancies which are likely to be made permanent or are likely to continue for three months and more, to be filled by direct recruitment in any year are reserved for ex-servicemen;
Provided the percentage of reservation so specified for ex-servicemen in a category of post shall be increased and decreased in any one recruitment year to the extent to which the total number of vacancies reserved for ex-servicemen, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (including the carried forward reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) and for any other cateogires taken together, falls short or is in excess, as the case may be, of fifty percent of the vacancies in that category of posts filled in that year;
Provided further that in case of an increae in the reservation for the exservicement under the preceding proviso, the additional vacancies so made available for them shall be utilised first for the appointment of disabled ex servicemen and if any such vacancies still remain unfilled thereafter the same shall then be made available to ther ex-servicemen.
Question 3 : What is vertical reservation and what is horizontal reservation ?
ANSWER : Reservation for backward classes of citizens (SCs, STs and OBCs) is called vertical reservation and the reservation for ex-servicemen is called horizontal reservation. Horizontal reservation cuts across vertical reservation (in what is called inter-locking reservation) and persons selected against the quota for persons with disabilities have to be placed in the appropriate category viz. SC/ST/OBC/General Candidates depending upon the category to which they belong in the roster meant for reservation of SC/ST/OBCs. To illustrate, if in a given year there are two vacancies reserved for ex-servicemen and out of two ex-servicemen appointed, one belongs to a Scheduled Caste and the other to general category then the disabled SC candidate shall be adjusted against the SC point in the reservation roster and the general candidate against unreserved point in the relevant reservation roster. IN case none of the vacancies falls on point reserved for the SCs, the ex-servicemen belonging to SC shall be adjusted in future against the next available vacancy reserved for SCs.
Since the ex-servicemen have to be placed in the appropriate category viz. SC/ST/OBC/General in the roster meant for reservation of SC/ST/OBCs, the application form for the post should require the candidates applying under the quota reserved for ex-servicemen to indicate whether they belong to SC/ST/OBC or General category.
Question 4 : What is the definition of Ex-serviceman ?
ANSWER : The Ex-servicemen (Re-employment in Central Civil Services and posts) Rules, 1979 as modified by the Gazette Notification dated 27th October, 1986, defines ex-serviceman as a person who has served in any rank whether as combatant or non combatant in a Regular Army, Navy and Air Force of the Indian union and

(B) After serving for a continuous period of six months after attestation, otherwise at his own request or by way of dismissal or discharge on account of mis conduct or inefficiency or has been transferred to the reserve pending such release;

ANSWER : For appointment to vacancies in any Group C or Group D Posts in Central Government, an ex-serviceman shall be allowed to deduct the period of actual military service from his actual age and if the resultant age does not exceed the maximum age limit prescribed for the post for which he is seeking appointment by more than three years, he shall be deemed to satisfy the condition regarding age limit.

Relaxation in educational Qualifications : For appointment to any reserved vacancy in group C Posts, the appointing authority may, at its discretion, relax the minimum educational qualification, where such qualification prescribed is a pass in the Middle School education or any lower examination, in favour of ex servicemen who have put in at least 3 years service in the Armed Forces of the Union and who are otherwise considered fit and suitable for appointment to such posts, in view of their experience and other qualifications.
