NO. IV/NFIR/VIth CPC/Main/10/Pt. IX

Dated: 27/08/2013

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
NEW DELHI

Dear Sir,

Sub:  Revision of Special Pay granted to  Trolleyman  working  in  Engineering and S&T  Departments – reg.

Ref:  (i) NFIR’s PNM Item No. 34/2012.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E (P&A) I-2012/FE-4/5 dated 10/07/2013.

——*——-

While going through the observations/recommendations of the Committee pursuant to the instructions of  DoP&T  (based on Vth  CPC), the Federation notes that absolutely harsh criteria has been proposed by the committee of Executive Directors, Railway Board in listing out categories for grant of Risk Allowance.

2.  In this connection, NFIR  wishes to bring to the notice of the Railway Board that the nominated Committee was required to bifurcate the categories of staff into two types of risks involved in the course of performing duties as defined by the Vth CPC. These are:

• Continuous risks: Where the employee is prone to risk fully or partially in the course of performing Railway duties and
• Contingent  risks:  In this category of risk the Railway employees have to face risk like one – time event and also when the event is uncertain.

3.  Federation further desires to highlight that the Committee has incorrectly denotified following  categories of  staff who face continuous risk  in the course of  performing railway duties by virtue of their job contents:-

• Gate Keepers
• Track Maintainers
• Staff handling 440 Volts & above equipments,
• Shuntman
• Shunting Master
• Shunting Jamadar
• Shunting Porter
• Trolley man
• TRD Lineman
• Welder

The contention of NFIR could be established  by the fact that every year in the Train accidents, derailments etc some of the staff of above categories get injured and more than often killed due to their nature ofjob involving continuous risk.

List of denotified categories of staff, therefore needs to revised to include at least above categories for payment of Risk Allowance.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to  review the decision and issue suitable instructions on the above lines to settle the demand raised in the PNM meeting. Copy of the instructions issued may be endorsed  to the Federation.

Yours faithfully
(M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

Implementation of Hon’ble SC Judgment dated 04/09/2012

How pay has been revised on 1/1/86

A. Existing emoluments as on 1/1/86 ie Basic Pay, DA, ADA, Adhoc DA, Interim Relief I and II are added
B. 20 % of Basic pay is added to it
C. Pay is now fixed at next stage above total emoluments so arrived

Earlier the rank pay was deducted from sum of A and B above before fixing the pay in next above stage. This time Rank Pay has not been deducted.

Example 1

Pay of Capt A in the integrated pay scale (2300 —100 —3900-150-5100) on 1/1/86

Earlier pay was fixed at Rs 3300, which is next stage above 3205 (3405 minus 200)
Now Pay fixed at Rs 3500, which is next stage above 3405.

Example 2

Pay of Capt B in the integrated pay scale (2300 -100 -3900-150-5100) on 1/1/86

Earlier pay was fixed at Rs 3200, which is next stage above 3140 (3340 minus 200).
Now Pay fixed at Rs 3400, which is next stage above 3340.

Example 3

Pay of Maj C as on 111/86

Earlier pay was fixed at Rs 3400 (minimum prescribed for a Major), despite the fact that the next stage above 2955 ( 3555 minus 600) was 3000.
Now Pay fixed at Rs 3600, which is next stage above 3555.

How arrears have been calculated

Example 1

Capt A – Pay fixed as on 1/1/86 at Rs 3500/-

* Minimum Pay prescribed for the ranks of Maj and Lt Col was Rs 3400/- and Rs 3900/- respectively. Officer already in receipt of same or more pay on the date of promotion, therefore Basic Pay didn’t change on these dates.

5th CPC Orders – At the time of promotion, Basic Pay is fixed in the pay scale of higher rank and Rank Pay of higher rank is admitted.

Pay scale of Lt Col 13500 – 400 – 17100
Pay scale of Col 15100 —-450 – 17350

As the starting pay in the scale for Col was 15100, no change in Pay on the date of promotion.
In this case arrears will accrue from 01/01/86 till 01/05/98 only, as the pay drawn and pay due is same after 01/05/98.

Example 2

Capt B – Pay fixed as on 1/1/86 at Rs3400/-

*  Minimum Pay prescribed for the ranks of Maj and Lt Col was Rs 3400/- and Rs 3900/- respectively, Officer already in receipt of same or more pay on the date of promotion, therefore Basic Pay didn’t change on these dates.

As per 5th CPC Pay fixation Charts, BP of Lt Cols drawing Basic Pay Rs 4350, 4500 and 4650 gets bunched at Rs 13900.
In this ease an-ears will accrue from 01/01/86 to 01/01/96 only, as the pay drawn and pay due is same from 01/01/96.

Example 3

Maj C – Pay fixed as on 1/1/86 at Rs3600/

As per 5th CPC Pay fixation Charts, BP of Lt Cols drawing Basic Pay Rs 4350, 4500 and 4650 gets bunched at Rs 13900.
In this case arrears will accrue from 01/01/86 to 05/05/96 only, as the pay drawn and pay due is same from 01/01/96.
