No. 36034/21/87-Estt.(SCT) dated 07.11.1989, it was clarified that the instructions of 02.05.1985 shall not apply to those ex-servicemen who have been re-employed or are re-employed by private companies/ autonomous bodies/ public sector undertakings/ government offices on casual/ contract/temporary ad-hoc basis and who can be removed from such service at any time by their employer concerned. An ex-serviceman at the time of his release or discharge from the armed forces normally applies for more than one vacancy, but in case he/she joins any civil employment due to early declaration of results/selection, he/she is not entitled for the benefit of reservation for ex- servicemen for subsequent employment. It has been brought to the notice of this Department that the aforesaid instructions are affecting the chances of ex-servicemen in the case of direct recruitment for subsequent suitable employment. The matter has, therefore, been considered in consultation with Department of Ex- servicemen, Ministry of Defence. It has now been decided that if an ex-serviceman applies for various vacancies before joining any civil employment, he/she can avail of the benefit of reservation as ex-serviceman for any subsequent employment. However, to avail of this benefit, an ex-serviceman as soon as he/she joins any civil employment, should give self- declaration/ undertaking to the concerned employer about the date- wise details of application for various vacancies for which he/she had applied for before joining the initial civil employment, Further, this benefit would be available only in respect of vacancies which are filled on direct recruitment and wherever reservation is applicable to the ex-servicemen. The above Orders shall take effect from the date of Issue of this Office Memorandum. HEEHE 3X aw goa (V. JATSANKAR) UNDER SECRETARY TO GOVT.(DP&AR)
