The guidelines also state that if a post is deemed suitable for them, all subsequent promotional posts will also be reserved for persons with disabilities.
The guidelines are in line with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016.
The move comes after the Delhi High Court flagged inconsistencies in the implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and criticized entities like the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) for unauthorized actions in identifying posts.

The updated guidelines aim to ensure inclusivity, fairness, and uniformity in the employment of persons with disabilities across central government establishments.
The new guidelines also ask ministries and departments to form committees, including representatives with disabilities, to assess all posts for their suitability.
A comprehensive review of identified posts is required every three years to incorporate technological advancements and evolving job requirements.

The guidelines also mandate a four percent reservation in direct recruitment and promotions across categories, including blindness, locomotor disability, hearing impairment, and intellectual disabilities. Additionally, they emphasize the timely filling of backlog vacancies, wide publicity to ensure accessibility and a three-year validity period for exemptions from reservation policies.
The government has also clarified that exemptions from reservation are valid for a maximum of three years and must be periodically reviewed. The move aims to ensure fairness while leveraging advancements in assistive technology.
Effective immediately, these guidelines supersede all previous instructions on the matter, except notifications issued in 2021 and 2022. (Maxim News)
