Consequent to introduction of numerical grading (from a scale to 1 to 10) in the APARs of Railway officers from the year 2016-17, the numerical gradings in APARs from the reporting year 2016-17 have been classified in terms of 'Outstanding', 'Very Good' & 'Good' vide Board's letter No. 2017/SCC/03/13 dated 21.07.2017

1.1  Also, benchmarks for promotion to various grades have been revised in terms of points vide Board's letter No.2017/SCC/3/09 dated 01.09.2017.  However, APARs prior to the reporting period 2016-17 contain gradings such 'Outstanding', 'Very Good', 'Good', 'Average' & 'Below Average' and no numerical values have been assigned to these gradings.

S.No.	Grading	Points
i)	Outstanding	9
ii)	Very Good	7
iii)	Good	5
