## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (I/C) IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a) & (b):   Reply  is given  as per  Annexure.
- (c): The posts reserved for SCs and STs lying  vacant include to non- acceptance of offers  of  appointment  by  the  candidates,  required  number  of  SC/ST  candidates  not being available etc. Moreover, the vacancies reserved for SCs and STs which are not filled up are carried forward as 'backlog vacancies' to subsequent recruitment years as long as these are not filled by candidates of the category for which they are reserved.
- (d):  IOCL  has  taken  steps  to  fill  up  the  backlog  vacancies  of  SCs/STs  in  Open competition in Group 'A' during 2016. The backlog of SC/ST in Group 'C' is likely to be liquidated  during  the  normal  recruitment  process.    Vacant  posts  in  HPCL  have  been notified separately along with fresh vacancies on 12.12.2015.
