History

In July 1942, a Service Commission with a chairman and two members was established to recruit subordinate staff on the North Western Railway. In 1945, additional Service Commissions were set up in Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Lucknow, tasked with recruiting Class III staff and advising General Managers on appeals related to disciplinary matters. In 1948, the Indian Railway Enquiry Committee recommended making these commissions permanent while withdrawing their role in appeals to focus solely on recruitment. [1] The chairman of Bombay Service Commission was designated to supervise others. [2]

However, financial constraints in 1949 led to the consolidation of all commissions into a single entity in Bombay. [2] With improved economic conditions in 1953-54, four commissions were again set up in Bombay, Madras, Allahabad, and Calcutta. To cater to the needs of other regions, additional commissions were later established: Muzaffarpur (1973), Secunderabad (1978), Guwahati (1978), Bangalore (1980), and Danapur (1981). Seven more were added in 1983, including Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Jammu & Srinagar, and Trivandrum, followed by Malda and Gorakhpur in 1984. In the same year, Ranchi commission was set up exclusively for Scheduled Tribes. [3]

In January 1985, the Service Commissions were renamed Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). By 1998, all RRBs were brought under the newly formed Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB) under the Ministry of Railways. [4]
