(1) Each year, the Bank shall prepare a list of Officers in its service showing their names in the order of their seniority on an all India basis and containing such other particulars as the Bank may determine. A copy of such list shall be kept at every branch or office of the Bank.
(2) Seniority of an Officer in a Grade or Scale shall be reckoned with reference to the date of his appointment in that grade or scale. Where there are two or more Officers of the same length of service in that grade or scale, their inter-se seniority shall be reckoned with reference to their seniority in the immediately preceding grade or scale or the previous cadre to which they belonged in the Bank's service. Where two or more Officers have the same length of service in such preceding grade or scale or such previous cadre, their seniority shall be determined with reference to their seniority in the immediately preceding grade or scale or cadre, as the case may be.
(3) Subject to the provision of Sub Regulation (2) a) The inter-se seniority of Officers directly recruited in a batch to any grade or scale shall be reckoned with reference to the rank allotted to them at the time of such recruitment.
b) If Officers recruited under the general category and reserved category are allotted to any Bank, the seniority inter-se amongst the candidates so allotted who join on the same date shall be determined in accordance with the marks 12 obtained by such candidates without adding notional marks for the reserved candidates.
c) If, however, two or more categories of Officers such as Technical Field Officers, Agricultural Field Officers and General Officers join on the same date and if there is no system of maintaining separate seniority list for the different categories of Officers, seniority in the common seniority list shall be determined on the basis of their date of birth.
(4) In the case of an Officer whose probation has been extended, his seniority shall be reckoned just below all the Officers, if any, recruited or promoted in the same batch along with him.
(5) Nothing in this regulation shall affect the seniority among themselves of the Officers as existing immediately prior to the appointed date.
