Bill to provide quota in promotions of SC/ST approved | | The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved the proposed Bill to provide quota for
Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in promotion in Govt jobs.
The proposed Bill seeks to amend at least four articles of the Constitution to enable the
government to provide quota in promotions to SC/STs.
It seeks to remove the term inadequate representation, mentioned in Article 16(4) to justify
reservation in promotion and appointments, and also delink the term efficiency of
administration from the claims of SCs/STs for jobs and promotions, mentioned in Article 335.
Changes are also likely to be made in articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution, following the
advice of the government's top law officer, Attorney General, G.E. Vahanvati, on the issue.
