No SC/ST Quota for reservation for promotion in Public Sector Banks


Supreme Court has held that there is no SC/ST quota for promotion in Public Sector banks, reviewing its earlier judgment which had directed the banks to directions to make provision for reservations while carrying out promotions from Scale-I to Scale VI. 

Apex Court bench of Justices J. Chelameswar and A.K. Sikri setting aside the Judgment of Madras High Court, said that it is open for the State and the Banks to consider whether demand to provide reservation for promotion for SC/ST is justified and feasible.

It was also held that reservation was there in respect of the post carrying basic pay of up to 5,700 per month and with the implementation of the Fifth Central Pay Commission Report, it would follow that such reservation was applicable to the post carrying pay-scale of 18,300.
