Custody of answer books in case of Selection exams for promotion

1. Please refer to Board’s letter of even number dated 23.03.2004 & 08.06.2010 on the above subject vide which instructions for coding and decoding of roll numbers after the completion of written test and safe custody of answer books after the evaluation is over as well as selection proceedings have been finalized, have been issued. However, the Central Vigilance Commission has brought to the notice of the Board that instructions indicated above are not being followed by some of the Railways and that there is delay in handing over the coded answer sheets to the concerned evaluating officer nominated for this purpose.
2. The matter has since been considered and it is desired that Board’s instructions, as laid down in the above mentioned letters, in this regard should be scrupulously followed, without any deviation.
