Sub: Fixation of pay of running staff on promotion to the ‘General Posts – clarifications – reg.

References from Zonal Railways and NFIR have been received in Board’s office seeking clarifications regarding reckoning of 30% pay element for fixation of pay of such Running Staff who have been selected to the Stationary Post i.e non-running post upon promotion through General Selection.

2. The matter has been examined in consultation with Establishment and Finance Directorate(s) of Railway Board. It is advised that in absence of specific orders from the Board to this effect, the benefit of reckoning of 30% pay element for the purpose of fixation of pay of running staff on their promotion/appointment to the posts filled through General Section is not admissible. Further, the General Selection is voluntary in nature and the concerned staff are aware of the mode of fixation of pay on promotion/appointment to a post under General Selection. Hence in such cases, pay fixation has to be effected without taking into account the ‘pay element’.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

The undersigned is directed to draw attention to this Department’s OMs of even number dated 01.04.2014 and 21.04.2014 governing grant of NFS to Section Officers of CSS and fixation of pay thereon.

2. It has been brought to the notice of this Department that in a few cases, actual benefit of pay on grant of NFS to Section Officers, who were appointed against SO SL 2015 from CSSS on the basis of the results of Section Officers/ Stenos (Gr.B/Gr.I) LDCE 2015 have allegedly been allowed w.e.f. 01.07.2019. The matter has been examined in consultation with Estt.(Pay) Division, DoPT. It is reiterated that in terms of FR 17(1), Section Officers of CSS cadre appointed to the aforesaid grade from CSSS cadre i.e. PS (Adhoc/regular), were not holding the post of Section Officer as on the date of grant of NFS i.e. 01.07.2019, but were officers of CSSS holding post of PA/PS (Adhoc). Hence, the actual financial benefit is not admissible to them from 01.07 2019 but is admissible only from the date of their assumption of the charge of the post of Section Officer on regular basis.

3. Ministries/ Departments/ offices concerned are requested to review all such cases where actual pay benefits upon grant of NFS to Section Officers appointed against SO SL 2015 from CSSS on the basis of the results of Section Officers/ Stenos (Gr.B/Gr.I) LOGE 2015 have been granted from 01.07.2019 and take immediate corrective action, if they are not in consonance with the existing instructions dated 01.04.2014 and 21.04.2014, under intimation to this Department.

To

Sub: Availability of option for fixation of pay on promotion from the Date of Next Increment (DNI) in lower post and method of fixation of pay from DNI, if opted for, in context of RS(RP) Rules,2016.

Ref: NFIR’s letter No.1/2/Part IV dated 13.11.2018.

Please refer to NFIR’s letter quoted above requesting Board to give 90 days’ time for exercise of option for fixation of pay on DNI instead of ‘one month’ period as circulated vide Board’s letter RBE No. 142/2018 dated 20.09.2018 from the date of issue of these orders on the ground that these orders have not been circulated by the Zonal Railways and the Divisions to field units with the result that the staff are unable to exercise option in time.

With respect to above, it is stated that generai instruciions relating to revised pay structure which are applicable to all central government employees issued by Ministry of Finance (MoF) are adopted in Railways in mutatis mutandis manner. The letter under question was also uploaded on Board’s website on date itself and also circulated amongst all concerned including Zonal Railways/Production Units, Board’s branches, Members of the Staff Council, NFIR, AIRF and other, staff associations. Federation may appreciate that MoF’s circulars/orders already remains in circulation before adopted in Railways, as such Railway employees have even more time to go through such circulars/orders in comparison to other central government employees. Further, no Railway has made any reference bringing on record delayed circulation in this regard.

In view of the above, unilateral deviation from MoF’s stipulation is not feasible.
