THE ROTA-QUOTA RULE EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE

 THE ROTA-QUOTA RULE EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE


Who is senior — the promotee who was promoted in June, or the direct recruit selected against the same year's vacancy who joined eighteen months later?

 

Fifty years of litigation sit behind that one question. I have put together a plain-English guide to the rota-quota rule:

 

• What "quota" and "rota" actually mean, with worked illustrations

• The 1986 Office Memoranda — bunching, carry-forward and en bloc placement

• A master timeline of the law from 1959 to 2025

• The five leading judgments: N.R. Parmar (2012), its review (2013), K. Meghachandra Singh (2019), Hariharan (2022) and K.K. Soni (Delhi HC DB, 2025)

• A step-by-step decision tree for working out which rule governs a given case

 

Written for anyone who has to argue or understand inter se seniority between direct recruits and promotees.
