Dear Sir,

Subject: Payment of Leave Salary to the Running Staff after implementation of 7th CPC recommendations-reg.

Ref: (i) NFIR’s PNM Items No. 47/2018 & 57/2016.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E(P&A)II/2017/RS-22 dated 28/12/2018 (RBE No.2204/2018).
(iii) NFIR’s letter No. IV/NFIR/7th CPC (Imp)/Allowance/2016/Part II dated 12/01/2019, 18/03/2019, 28/05/2019 & 17/08/2019.

Federation invites kind attention of the Railway Board to the references cited above relating to payment of Leave Salary to the Running Staff pursuant to the implementation of the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission. Federation once again reiterates that though the Railway Board have issued orders vide RBE No. 204/2018 dated 28/12/2018 but, however, there is no clarity in the said orders regarding date of effect i.e. from 01/01/2016, consequently in the provision in IPAS, date of effect has been taken as 01/07/2017 and the Running Staff have been put to recurring financial loss for 18 months (from 01/01/2016 to 30/06/2017) leave salary. Though the Federation has been making efforts to persuade the Railway Board to set right the technical snag but however action to correct/up-date IPAS has no been taken yet with the result Federation continues to receive grievances from the Running Staff from Zonal Railways.

Also check: 7th CPC: Payment of leave salary to the running staff after the implementation of 7th CPC recommendations

NFIR, therefore, once again urges upon the Railway Board to kindly intervene and issue suitable instructions to all concerned to rectify/up-date the IPAS giving effect to the instructions vide RBE No. 204/2018 dated 28/12/2018 from 01/01/2016 repeat from 01/01/2016 and not from 01/07/2017.

Action taken in the matter may kindly be apprised to the Federation.

Ref: (i) NFIR’s PNM Item No. 47/2018.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E(P&A)II/2017/RS-22 dated 28/12/2018 (RBE No. 204/2018).

Copies of Federation’s letter dated 12/01/2019 & 18/03/2019 are enclosed wherein following specific points have been mentioned:-

• Instructions issued vide RBE No. 20412018 dated 21/12/2018 do not contain the relevant provision made in Para 3.23 (b) of Board’s letter No. E(P&A)II-80/RS-10 dated 17/07/1981 which have not been incorporated.

Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension
Department of Personnel & Training

New Delhi, dated the 28th February, 2019

To
The Chief Secretaries of all States/UTs

Subject: Pay fixation of SCS/Non-SCS officers promoted to IAS subsequent to the implementation of 7th CPC recommendations-reg.

Sir/Madam.

In supersession of this Department’s letter of even number dated the 7th April, 2017 on the above mentioned subject, I am directed to say that the initial pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection as the case may be shall be fixed at the stage of the senior scale next above his actual pay. There is no provision of increment at the stage of initial fixation.

Rule 5(6) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides for the fixation of pay of a Member of Service on promotion to Selection Grade (Level-13) of Pay Matrix by adding one increment in the Level- 12 of Pay Matrix and two additional increments in the Level 13 to which he is promoted. Rule 5(5) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides that the pay of a member of the Service in the Senior Time Scale shall, on promotion to the Junior Administrative Grade he fixed in Level 12 of the Pay Matrix.

in respect of fixation of pay of officers who were promoted/Selected in lAS through SCS/Non-SCS respectively in Senior Time Scale/Junior Administrative Grade after 01.01.2016, the initial pay shall be fixed in the respective level of the Senior Scale i.e Level 11,12 01. 13 based on the year of allotment in the lAS. However, the pay drawn in the State Civil Services will be protected in the concerned Level. An illustration is as under:

Shri X who is drawing pay at Rs. 48920 (Rs.40220 [pay in the pay band + GP Rs.8700] is promoted/selected to lAS on 04.03.2016. lie is allotted 2010 batch. The pay on promotion/selection to lAS would be as under:

4. The pay of IAS officers who were promoted/selected in IAS through SCS/Non-SCS respectively prior to 01.01.2016 will be converted as per 7th CPC on 01.01.2016 and they shall notionally in the Level of Pay Matrix, in accordance with the length of service as per their allotment year, at the stage of the senior scale. On their actual promotion to JAG/Selection Grade, the pay of these officers will then be fixed as per IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016. That is, the officers will be eligible for two additional increments on their actual promotions to Level 12/ Level 13 after completion of 9/13 years of service in IAS respectively. An Illustration is as under:

The provision contained in part (7) of Schedule-I of AS (Pay) Rules, 2016, which provides that ‘Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection, as the case may be, shall not at any time exceed the basic pay which he would have drawn as a direct recruit on that date if he had been appointed to the Indian Administrative Service on the date on which he was appointed to the State Civil Service or in a Gazetted post in the non-State Civil Service, after attaining the age of twenty five years, as the case may be” shall be adhered to.

This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

Yours faithfully,
