I’ve consistently received excellent performance ratings in my annual confidential reports for the Indian Railways, with “Outstanding” in 2010-11, “Very Good” in 2011-12 and 2012-13, “Good” in 2013-14, and “Very Good” again in 2014-15. My fitness for promotion has been marked as “FIT” for the past five years. However, a new promotion benchmark was introduced in December 2015, requiring a minimum “Very Good” grade in the last five years’ annual confidential reports. Why am I being denied promotion despite meeting all other requirements and having consistently performed well?

The new promotion benchmark introduced in December 2015, requiring a minimum “Very Good” grade in the last five years, is being applied retroactively. This is likely to be a violation of the principles of natural justice and fairness, as you were not aware of this requirement beforehand and met all existing promotion criteria. You might be eligible to challenge this decision.
