An Inspector who joined the department in 1994 is still serving as Superintendent after just ONE promotion, despite an unblemished career.

Meanwhile, a direct-recruit Assistant Commissioner who joined in the same year has progressed to Commissioner or Chief Commissioner after 5–6 promotions.

Even a Lower Division Clerk who joined in 1994 has reached the rank of Superintendent after 5–6 promotions.

Is this fair? Is this the career progression our officers deserve after more than three decades of dedicated service?

We demand justice, equity and a fair promotional structure for every member of our cadre.

🚨 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. JUST ONE PROMOTION. A CAREER LEFT WAITING!

From Inspector to Superintendent — just one promotion after years of dedicated service. Even after three decades, many are still awaiting promotion to Assistant Commissioner.

This is a matter of fairness, dignity and career progression.

AIASCT raises its voice. Thousands unite. The time for change is NOW!

🔴 Release AISL from 2014 onwards.
🔴 Conduct DPC without further delay.
🔴 Ensure fair career progression.
WATCH. SHARE. AMPLIFY. LET OUR VOICE BE HEARD!

CADRE RESTRUCTURING: LONG OVERDUE!

Pending for over a decade, despite the need for review every five years.

A stronger department needs a stronger career structure. Comprehensive cadre restructuring must address stagnation, correct structural imbalances and create meaningful promotional avenues for executive officers.

🚨 AISL DELAY – THE ROADBLOCK TO PROMOTION!

All India Seniority Lists for Superintendents have been pending from 2014 onwards. Their non-finalisation is holding up the DPC for promotion to Assistant Commissioner.

The result: stalled career progression, officers awaiting promotion and many Superintendents retiring with just one promotion.

AIASCT demands immediate finalisation of AISL and conduct of DPC without further delay!

Dear @IRCTCofficial and @RailMinIndia

2/2

Are these passengers actually travelling, or are tickets being blocked and later cancelled? Please investigate the booking system and possible misuse of automation. Genuine passengers deserve a fair chance to book confirmed tickets.

[Raju Halder @theraju]

Dear @IRCTCofficial @RailMinIndia,

How is it possible for all normal quota tickets to get booked within a minute of opening? My ticket on the Kanchan Kanya Express (26 Dec) is already waitlisted despite booking at the very first opportunity.

Update on All India Body’s Visit to Delhi – 08 & 09 October 2026

The All India Body visited Delhi on 08 and 09 October 2026 and held discussions with senior CBIC and DGHRD officials.

1. Meeting with the DG and Pr. ADG, DGHRD

(i) AISL and Consequential DPC:

DGHRD officials informed that the Zonal Seniority Lists from Delhi and Vadodara Zones are still awaited. They assured that the DPC process would be initiated immediately upon receipt of the pending lists. The All India Body strongly emphasised the urgency of the matter and conveyed that continued delay in finalising the AISL and conducting the consequential DPC would leave the Association with no option but to launch an agitational programme.

(ii) Cadre Restructuring:

DGHRD informed that the Cadre Restructuring exercise is progressing expeditiously. AIASCT’s earlier submissions and detailed proposal have been placed before the competent authorities, and the Working Group’s recommendations have also been taken into account. The full-member meeting on Cadre Restructuring has been held. The Board is making efforts to place the proposal before the Revenue Secretary, followed by the Hon’ble Finance Minister after incorporating any necessary modifications.

The All India Body strongly pressed for a substantial increase in posts in the grades of Assistant Commissioner (AC) and Deputy Commissioner (DC). DGHRD officials indicated that there would be a significant increase in AC posts.

(iii) Recruitment of DR Inspectors:

Further, during the previous meeting, AIASCT had raised the issue of ensuring that the recruitment of Direct Inspectors would be continued at Pay Level 7. In this matter, the DGHRD has accepted this proposal and assured that Inspectors would be recruited at Pay level 7 also.

2. Meeting with Member (Administration)

(i) AISL and DPC:

The All India Body discussed the long-pending AISL and consequential DPC issue with the Member (Administration). It was informed that the Department’s case would be presented by the Addl. Solicitor General (ASG) before the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad on 12 October 2026.
Pending the Court’s directions or permission, DGHRD has been instructed to remain prepared for further action. APARs and other requisite details are expected to be called for from all Zones by Monday of the coming week. The Member (Administration) sought the Association’s cooperation in ensuring timely submission of records.
All Unit representatives are therefore requested to coordinate with their respective local administrations and ensure that the required documents are furnished promptly.

(ii) Cadre Restructuring:

The Member (Administration) has been closely monitoring the progress of Cadre Restructuring and issuing necessary directions to expedite the exercise. During this visit, directions were reiterated to DGHRD officials to engage with the Association’s office-bearers. It was informed that the Board is working on a comprehensive proposal aimed at addressing career progression across cadres.
The All India Body acknowledges the improved transparency, constructive engagement and regular communication on Cadre Restructuring under the present Member (Administration). The regular interactions with DGHRD have helped facilitate discussions on the Association’s proposals and provide updates on progress.

3. The All India Body also met other concerned authorities and pursued several long-pending matters, including:Uniform implementation of court judgments. Regularisation of ad hoc Superintendents. Follow-up on the case before the Principal Bench concerning in-rem implementation of the 01.01.1996 pay parity issue.

4. The AIB also had a meeting with the Delhi Unit AIASCT. AIB discussed organizational issues and requested Delhi Unit to follow up with Delhi Zone for forwarding the Zonal seniority list to DGHRD.

Train 07221 is running more than 5 hours late. What a waste of passengers’ time and Railway resources! Passengers plan their journeys based on the published timetable, yet such gross delays leave them with no certainty or accountability.
