(i) Deputation from Central Government to Central Government

If the Level (in Pay Matrix) of the ex-cadre post is higher than that of the parent cadre post, an increment shall be given in the Level (in Pay Matrix) of parent cadre post and he/she shall be placed at a Cell equal to the figure so arrived at in the Level (in Pay Matrix) of the ex- cadre post; and ifno such Cell is available in the Level (in Pay Matrix) of the ex-cadre post, he/she shall be placed at the next higher cell in that Level.

In case Levels (in Pay matrix) of the ex-cadre post and the parent cadre post of the employee are identical, the employee would continue to draw his/her basic pay.

The basic pay from time to time after pay fixation should not exceed the maximum of the pay in the level of the ex-cadre post.

(ii) In foreign service/ Reverse Foreign Service

(a) When the Level (in Pay Matrix)/ Pay Scale of the post in the parent cadre and that attached to the ex-cadre post are based on the same index level and the DA pattern is also the same, the pay may be fixed as under (i) above.

(b) If the appointment is made to a post whose pay structure and/ or Dearness Allowance (DA) pattern is dissimilar to that in the parent organisation, pay may be fixed by adding one increment to the basic pay of the substantive post in the parent cadre, (and if he/she was drawing pay at the maximum of the scale, by the increment last drawn) and equating the pay so raised plus dearness allowance (and additional or ad-hoc dearness allowance, Interim relief, etc., if any) with emoluments comprising of basic pay plus DA, ADA, Interim Relief, etc., if any, admissible, in the borrowing organisation and the pay may be fixed at the stage in the Pay Scale/ Level (in Pay Matrix) of the ex-cadre post at which total emoluments admissible in the ex-cadre post as above equal the emoluments drawn in the cadre and if there is no such stage, pay may be fixed at the next higher stage.

In case of reverse foreign service if the appointment is made to post whose pay structure and/or DA pattern is dissimilar to that in the parent organization, the option for electing to draw the basic pay in the parent cadre [along with the Deputation (Duty) Allowance thereon and the personal pay, if any] will not be available to such employee.

However, in respect of appointments to ex-cadre posts carrying Level (in Pay Matrix)/Pay Scale identical to that of the ex-cadre post(s) held on an earlier occasion(s), it may be ensured that the pay drawn in subsequent appointment should not be less than the pay drawn earlier.

5.3 Incases of appointments to a second or subsequent ex-cadre post(s) in a higher Level (in Pay Matrix)/Pay Scale than that of the previous ex-cadre post, the pay may be fixed with reference to the pay drawn in the cadre post and if the pay so fixed happens to be less than the pay drawn in the previous ex-cadre post, the difference may be allowed as personal pay to be absorbed in future increases in pay. This is subject to the condition that on both the occasions, the employee should have opted to draw pay in the Level (in Pay Matrix)/Pay Scale attached to the ex-cadre posts.”

Dated: 31/07/2020

The Secretary (E)
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Allotment of qualification based pay matrix – ECG Technicians in Railways.

Ref: (i) Railway Board’s reply to GS/ NFIR vide letter No.PC-VII/2018/R-U/8 dated IR’s letter No.II/1/2019 dated 30th March, 2019 and 18th April, 2019 to the Railway Board.
(iii) NFIR’s PNM agenda item No.25 (sent to Railway Board on 29th May, 2019).

Kind attention is invited to the references cited above, on the above subject relating to allotment of qualification based pay matrix to the ECG Technicians in railways. Federation once again furnishes below, the important facts relating to the demand for granting higher entry grade pay to the ECG Technician category with appropriate cadre structure for their growth.

• The ECG Technicians appointed in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi (under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) have never been in possession of the standard qualification relating to the job expected from an ECG Technician, while in Railways, the ECG Technicians possess “Diploma in ECG Lab Technology”.
• ECG Technicians in Railways have never been treated atleast equal to those working in the Central Government Hospitals and have rather been treated inferior. This negative situation has been prevailing since the period of 3rd CPC.
• The DR qualification prescribed for the post of Sr. ECG Technician pay scale Rs.1400-2600 (IV CPC)/5000-8000) V CPC)/ PB-2 GP 4200 (VI CPC)/ Pay Level-6 in 7th CPC in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital is Bachelor’s Degree in Science with Physics with one year experience in handling cardiological equipment or 3 years Diploma Course in Electronics/ Electrical communication Engineering. Whereas in Railways, though the qualification for the post of ECG Technician got revised during 6th CPC regime to Degree in Science plus Diploma in ECG Lab Technology/ Cardiology/ Cardiology Technician/ Cardiology Techniques of reputed institution [refer Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)II/2001/RR/45 Pt. A dated 29/09/2015], this category has not been treated at par with those ECG Technicians of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

NFIR therefore requests the Railway Board to take action for revising the pay structure of ECG Technicians of railways for the purpose of providing entry grade pay 4200/Level 6 of pay matrix with further avenue of promotion to pay level 7, similar to the pay structure of ECG Technicians of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi.

Minutes of the discussions held on 22nd July, 2020 between IBA representation Management of banks which are parties to the Bipartite Settlement and Workmen Unions and Officers’ Associations on wage revision.

Discussions were held between the Indian Banks’ Association representing Managements of banks and the authorized representatives of workmen Unions and Officers’ Associations on wage revision for officers and workmen in banks.

The management and the Unions representing Officers and Workmen staff, acknowledge the need for a robust banking system which is representative to the challenges facing the country and the need to improve further the productivity, efficient and responsiveness to the needs of the customers and various state holders. With this commitment, it has been agreed to resolve the pending wage settlement issue and enter into an MoU as under:-

1. The wage revision will be effective from 1.11.2017.
2. The annual wage increase in salary and allowances is agreed at 15% of the wage bill as on 31-3-2017 which works out to Rs.7,898 crores on Payslip components.
3. The new pay scales will be constructed after merging Dearness Allowance corresponding to 6352 points (average Index point as applicable for the Quarter of June, July, August 2016) and adding thereon a loading of 2.50% on Basic Pay plus Dearness Allowance as on 31″ March 2017 amounting to around Rs. 1155/- Crores.
4. Distribution of annual wage increase between Workmen and Officers will be worked separately and proportionately based on breakup of establishment expenses as on 31.3.2017.
5. In today’s Banking scenario, there is stiff competition amongst different category of banks i.e., Public sector, Private sector, Foreign banks. In order to inculcate a sense of competition and also to reward the performance, the concept of Performance Linked Pay is felt to be introduced. After prolonged discussions and deliberations on this matter, it has been agreed to introduce Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) in Public Sector Banks, which will be based on Operating/ Net Profit of the individual bank (optional for private & foreign banks). The PIA is payable to all employees annually over and above the normal salary payable. The PLI matrix decides the amount payable to the employees (in number of days of pay-Basic+DA) depending on the annual performance of the bank. All the employees will get the number of days of pay as incentive depending on where in the matrix the bank’s performance fits in, broadly as per pay Matrix under :

* 3rd & 4th slabs are payable only if the Bank has Net Profit. If a Bank has growth in Operating profit of 5% & more, but there is no Net Profit, then minimum 2nd slab of 5 days will be payable.

(The PLI will be applicable from FY- 2020-21)
