Provided further that:Where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of Railway servants drawing pay at two or more
consecutive stages in an existing scale gets bunched, that is to say, gets fixed in the
revised pay structure at the same stage in the pay band, then, for every two stages so
bunched, benefit of one increment shall be given so as to avoid bunching of more than
two stages in the revised running pay bands. For this purpose, the increment will be
calculated on the pay in the pay band. Grade pay would not be taken into account for the
purpose of granting increments to alleviate bunching.
In the case of pay scales in higher administrative grade (HAG) in the pay band PB-4,
benefit of increments due to bunching shall be given taking into account all the stages in
different pay scales in this grade. In the case of HAG+ scale, benefit of one increment for
every two stages in the pre-revised scale will be granted in the revised pay scale.
If by stepping up of the pay as above, the pay of a Railway servant gets fixed at a stage in
the revised pay band/ pay scale (where applicable) which is higher than the stage in the
revised pay band at which the pay of a Railway servant who was drawing pay at the next
higher stage or stages in the same existing scale is fixed, the pay of the latter shall also
be stepped up only to the extent by which it falls short of that of the former.
(iii) The pay in the pay band will be determined in the above manner. In addition to the
pay in the pay band, grade pay corresponding to the existing scale will be payable.
Note - Illustration 1 on the above is provided in the Explanatory Memorandum to
these Rules.

(B)

In the case of employees who are in receipt of special pay/allowance in addition to


pay in the existing scale which has been recommended for replacement by a pay
band and grade pay without any special pay/allowance, pay shall be fixed in the
revised pay structure in accordance with the provisions of clause (A) above.

(C)

In the case of employees who are in receipt of special pay component with any other
nomenclature in addition to pay in the existing scales, such as personal pay for
promoting small family norms, special pay to Parliament Assistants, Central
(Deputation on Tenure) Allowance, etc., and in whose case the same has been
replaced in the revised pay structure with corresponding allowance/pay at the same
rate or at a different rate, the pay in the revised pay structure shall be fixed in
accordance with the provisions of clause (A) above. In such cases, the allowance at
the new rate as recommended shall be drawn in addition to pay in the revised pay
structure from the date specified in the individual notifications related to these
allowances.

(D)

Note 1 -

In the case of medical officers who are in receipt of non-practising allowance, the pay
in the revised pay structure shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of clause
(A) above except that, in such cases, the pre-revised dearness allowance appropriate
to the non-practising allowance admissible at index average 536 (1982 = 100) shall be
added while fixing the pay in the revised pay band, and in such cases, non-practising
allowance at the new rates shall be drawn with effect from 1.1.2006 or the date of
option for revised pay structure, in addition to the pay so fixed in the revised pay
structure. Illustration 2 in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these
Rules.
(a) In the case of Group D employees, the pay in the revised pay structure will be fixed
initially in the -1S pay band as per Clause (A) above with the appropriate grade pay and
arrears paid accordingly. Thereafter, pay of such of those Group D employees who
already possess the revised minimum qualifications recommended by the Commission
prescribed for entry into PB-1 would be fixed with effect from 1.1.2006 in PB-1 with grade
pay of Rs.1800.
(b) Such of those existing Group D employees who do not possess the revised minimum
qualifications for entry into PB-1 would be retrained by the concerned Department
preferably within a period of six months so that payment of arrears on account of
upgradation are not delayed. After re-training, these Group D staff will also be placed in
the Pay Band PB-1 with the grade pay of Rs.1800 with effect from 1.1.2006 and arrears
drawn accordingly. Once placed in the PB-1 Pay Band, this category of Group D staff will
regain their seniority vis--vis the other category of Group D staff that already possessed
the minimum qualifications and were, therefore, placed in the PB-1 Pay Band as on
1.1.2006. Inter-se seniority of all the employees in erstwhile Group D will be fully
maintained with Group D employee in a higher pre-revised pay scale being placed higher
vis--vis an employee in a lower pay scale. Within the same pre-revised pay scale,
seniority which existed prior to revision would continue.
(c) Arrears shall be payable with effect from 1.1.2006 in both the cases i.e. to those
Group D employees who possess the qualifications and are placed in PB-1 straight away
and those Group D employees who do not possess the qualifications and are placed after
re-training. Illustration 3 in regard to fixation of pay for Group D staff is in the
Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules.

Note 2 A - Where a post has been upgraded as a result of the recommendations of the Sixth CPC
as indicated in the Schedule to these Rules, the fixation of pay in the applicable pay
band will be done in the manner prescribed in accordance with Clause (A) (i) and (ii) of
Rule 7 by multiplying the existing basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and
rounding the resultant figure to the next multiple of ten. The grade pay corresponding to
the upgraded scale will be payable in addition. Illustration 4 A in this regard is in the
Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules.
Note 2 B- In the case of merger of pay scales, pay in the revised pay bands will be fixed in the manner
prescribed in accordance with clause [A][i] and [ii] of Rule 7 by multiplying the existing
basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding the resultant figure to the next
multiple of ten. The grade pay corresponding to the merged scale will be payable in
addition. Illustration 4 B in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules.
Note 3 -

A Railway servant who is on leave on the 1 st day of January, 2006 and is entitled to leave
salary shall become entitled to pay in the revised pay structure from 1.1.2006 or the date
of option for the revised pay structure. Similarly, where a Railway servant is on study
leave on the first day of January, 2006 he will be entitled to the benefits under these
Rules from 1.1.2006 or the date of option.

Note 4 -

A Railway servant under suspension, shall continue to draw subsistence allowance based
on existing scale of pay and his pay in the revised pay structure will be subject to the final
order on the pending disciplinary proceedings.

Note 5 -

Where a Railway servant is holding a permanent post and is officiating in a higher post on
a regular basis and the scales applicable to these two posts are merged into one scale,
the pay shall be fixed under this sub-rule with reference to the officiating post only, and
the pay so fixed shall be treated as substantive pay.

The provisions of this Note shall apply mutatis mutandis, to Railway servants holding in an
officiating capacity, posts on different existing scales which have been replaced by the
revised pay structure.
Note 6 -

Where the `existing emoluments exceed the revised emoluments in the case of any
Railway servant, the difference shall be allowed as personal pay to be absorbed in future
increases in pay.

Note 7 -

Where in the fixation of pay under sub-rule (1), the pay of a Railway servant, who, in the
existing scale was drawing immediately before the 1 st day of January, 2006 more pay
than another Railway servant junior to him in the same cadre, gets fixed in the revised
pay band at a stage lower than that of such junior, his pay shall be stepped upto the
same stage in the revised pay band as that of the junior.

Note 8 -

Where a Railway servant is in receipt of personal pay on the 1 st day of January, 2006,
which together with his existing emoluments exceeds the revised emoluments, then, the
difference representing such excess shall be allowed to such Railway servant as personal
pay to be absorbed in future increases in pay.

Note 9 -

In the case of employees who are in receipt of personal pay for passing Hindi Pragya,
Hindi Typewriting, Hindi Shorthand and such other examinations under the Hindi
Teaching Scheme, or on successfully undergoing training in cash and accounts matters
prior to the 1st day of January, 2006, while the personal pay shall not be taken into
account for purposes of fixation of initial pay in the revised pay structure, they would
continue to draw personal pay after fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure on
and from the 1st day of January, 2006 or subsequently for the period for which they would
have drawn it but for the fixation of their pay in the revised pay structure. The quantum of
such personal pay would be paid at the appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay
structure from the date of fixation of pay for the period for which the employee would have
continued to draw it.

Explanation - For the purpose of this Note, appropriate rate of increment in the revised pay
structure means 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay at the
stage at which the pay of the employee is fixed in the revised pay structure.
Note 10 -

In cases where a senior Railway servant promoted to a higher post before the 1 st day of
January, 2006 draws less pay in the revised pay structure than his junior who is promoted
to the higher post on or after the 1 st day of January, 2006, the pay in the pay band of the
senior Railway servant should be stepped up to an amount equal to the pay in the pay
band as fixed for his junior in that higher post. The stepping up should be done with
effect from the date of promotion of the junior Railway servant subject to the fulfillment of
the following conditions, namely: -

(a)

both the junior and the senior Railway servants should belong to the same cadre and the
posts in which they have been promoted should be identical in the same cadre.

(b)

the pre-revised scale of pay and the revised grade pay of the lower and higher posts in
which they are entitled to draw pay should be identical.

(c)

the senior Railway servants at the time of promotion should have been drawing equal or
more pay than the junior.

(d)

the anomaly should be directly as a result of the application of the provisions of FR 22 of


Indian Railway Establishment Code Volume II or any other rule or order regulating pay
fixation on such promotion in the revised pay structure. If even in the lower post, the

junior officer was drawing more pay in the pre-revised scale than the senior by virtue of
any advance increments granted to him, provision of this Note need not be invoked to
step up the pay of the senior officer.
(2)

Subject to the provisions of rule 5, if the pay as fixed in the officiating post under sub-rule (1) is
lower than the pay fixed in the substantive post, the former shall be fixed at the stage next
above the substantive pay.

8.
Fixation of pay in the revised pay structure of employees appointed as fresh recruits
on or after 1.1.2006 Section II of Part A of the First Schedule of these Rules indicates the entry
level pay in the pay band at which the pay of direct recruits to a particular post carrying a specific
grade pay will be fixed on or after 1.1.2006.
This will also be applied in the case of those recruited between 1.1.2006 and the date of issue
of this Notification. In such cases, where the emoluments in the pre-revised pay scale(s) [i.e., basic
pay in the pre-revised pay scale(s) plus Dearness Pay plus Dearness Allowance applicable on the
date of joining] exceeds the sum of the pay fixed in the revised pay structure and the applicable
dearness allowance thereon, the difference shall be allowed as personal pay to be absorbed in future
increments in pay.
9.
Rate of increment in the revised pay structure The rate of increment in the revised pay
structure will be 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and grade pay applicable, which will be
rounded off to the next multiple of 10. The amount of increment will be added to the existing pay in the
pay band. Illustration 5 in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these Rules. In the case
of PB-3, variable rates of increment at 3% and 4% have been provided. The higher rate of increment
will be granted to not more than 20% of the strength of officers in PB-3.
Separate instructions in regard to variable increment will be issued through executive orders.
10.
Date of next increment in the revised pay structure - There will be a uniform date of
annual increment, viz. 1st July of every year. Employees completing 6 months and above in the
revised pay structure as on 1 st of July will be eligible to be granted the increment. The first increment
after fixation of pay on 1.1.2006 in the revised pay structure will be granted on 1.7.2006 for those
employees for whom the date of next increment was between 1 st July, 2006 to 1st January, 2007.
Provided that in the case of persons who had been drawing maximum of the existing scale for
more than a year as on the 1 st day of January, 2006, the next increment in the revised pay structure
shall be allowed on the 1st day of January, 2006. Thereafter, the provision of Rule 10 would apply.
Provided that in cases where an employee reaches the maximum of his pay band, shall be
placed in the next higher pay band after one year of reaching such a maximum. At the time of
placement in the higher pay band, benefit of one increment will be provided. Thereafter, he will
continue to move in the higher pay band till his pay in the pay band reaches the maximum of PB-4,
after which no further increments will be granted.
Note 1 -

In cases where two existing scales, one being a promotional scale for the other, are
merged, and the junior Government servant, now drawing his pay at equal or lower stage
in the lower scale of pay, happens to draw more pay in the pay band in the revised pay
structure than the pay of the senior Railway servant in the existing higher scale, the pay
in the pay band of the senior Railway servant hall be stepped up to that of his junior from
the same date and he shall draw next increment in accordance with Rule 10.

11.
Fixation of pay in the revised pay structure subsequent to the 1 st day of January, 2006.
- Where a Railway servant continues to draw his pay in the existing scale and is brought over to the
revised pay structure from a date later than the 1 st day of January, 2006, his pay from the later date in
the revised pay structure shall be fixed in the following manner:(i)
Pay in the pay band will be fixed by adding the basic pay applicable on the later date,
the dearness pay applicable on that date and the pre-revised dearness allowance based on
rates applicable as on 1.1.2006. This figure will be rounded off to the next multiple of 10 and

will then become the pay in the applicable pay band. In addition to this, the grade pay
corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale will be payable. Where the Railway servant is in
receipt of special pay or non-practising allowance, the methodology followed will be as
prescribed in Rule 7 (i), (B), (C) or (D) as applicable, except that the basic pay and dearness
pay to be taken into account will be the basic pay and dearness pay applicable as on that date
but dearness allowance will be calculated as per rates applicable on 1.1.2006.
12.
Fixation of pay on reappointment after the 1 st day of January, 2006 to a post held prior
to that date - A Railway servant who had officiated in a post prior to the 1 st day of January, 2006 but
was not holding that post on that date and who on subsequent appointment to that post draws pay in
the revised pay structure shall be allowed the benefit of the proviso to Fundamental Rule 22, to the
extent it would have been admissible had he been holding that post on the 1 st day of January, 2006,
and had elected the revised pay structure on and from that date.
13.
Fixation of pay on promotion on or after 1.1.2006 In the case of promotion from one
grade pay to another in the revised pay structure, the fixation will be done as follows:(i)

One increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in the pay band and the existing grade pay
will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of 10. This will be added to the existing
pay in the pay band. The grade pay corresponding to the promotion post will thereafter be
granted in addition to this pay in the pay band. In cases where promotion involves change in
the pay band also, the same methodology will be followed. However, if the pay in the pay
band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the higher pay band to which
promotion is taking place, pay in the pay band will be stepped to such minimum.

(ii)

In the case of promotion from PB-4 to HAG+, after adding one increment in the manner
prescribed in Rule 9, the pay in the pay band and existing grade pay will be added and the
resultant figure will become the basic pay in HAG+. This shall not exceed Rs. 80,000, the
maximum of the scale. For Railway servants in receipt of NPA, pay plus NPA will not exceed
Rs. 85,000.

14.
Mode of payment of arrears of pay - The arrears shall be paid in cash in two instalments.
The first instalment should be restricted to 40% of the total arrears. The remaining 60% of arrears
should be paid during the next financial year.
Explanation -

For the purposes of this rule:

(a) arrears of pay in relation to a Railway servant, means the difference between:
(i) the aggregate of the pay and allowances to which he is entitled on account of the revision of
his pay and allowances under these rules, for the relevant period. Revised allowances
(except for dearness allowance and non-practising allowance) will be payable only with
effect from 1.9.2008; and
(ii) the aggregate of the pay and allowances to which he would have been entitled (whether such
pay and allowances had been received or not) for that period had his pay and allowances
not been so revised.
(b) relevant period means the period commencing on the 1 st day of January, 2006 and ending
with the 31st August, 2008.
15.
Overriding effect of Rules - The provisions of the Railway Fundamental rules, the Railway
Services (Revision of Pay) Rules, 1947, the Railway Services (Authorised Pay ) Rules, 1960, the
Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1973, Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986 and
Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1997 shall not, save as otherwise provided in these rules,
apply to cases where pay is regulated under these rules, to the extent they are inconsistent with these
rules.
16.
Power to relax - Where the President is satisfied that the operation of all or any of the
provisions of these rules causes undue hardship in any particular case, he may, by order, dispense
with or relax the requirements of that rule to such extent and subject to such conditions as he may
consider necessary for dealing with the case in a just and equitable manner.

17.
Interpretation - If any question arises relating to the interpretation of any of the provisions of
these rules, it shall be referred to the Railway Board for decision.

MEMORANDUM EXPLANATORY TO THE RAILWAY SERVICES


(REVISED PAY ) RULES , 2008
Rule 1 - This rule is self-explanatory.
Rule 2 - This rule lays down the categories of employees to whom the rules apply. Except for the
categories excluded under clause (2), the rules are applicable to all persons under the rule making
control of the President serving under the administrative control of the Railway Board.
Rule 3 & 4 - These rules are self-explanatory.
Rule 5 - The intention is that all Railway servants should be brought over to the revised pay structure
except those who elect to draw pay in the existing scales. Those who exercise the option to continue
on the existing scales of pay will continue to draw the dearness allowance at the rates in force on the
1st January, 2006 and the dearness allowance will count towards the emoluments for pension, etc. to
the extent it so counted on the said date. If a Railway servant is holding a permanent post in a
substantive capacity and officiating in a higher post, or would have officiated in one or more posts but
for his being on deputation etc., he has the option to retain the existing scale only in respect of one
scale. Such a Railway servant may retain the existing scale applicable to a permanent post or any
one of the officiating posts. In respect of the remaining posts he will necessarily have to be brought
over to the revised pay structure.
Rule 6 - This rule prescribes the manner in which option has to be exercised and also the authority
who should be apprised of such option. The option has to be exercised in the appropriate form
appended to the rules. It should be noted that it is not sufficient for a Railway servant to exercise the
option within the specified time limit but also to ensure that it reaches the prescribed authority within
the time limit. In the case of persons who are outside India at the time these rules are promulgated,
the period within which the option has to be exercised is three months from the date they take over
charge of the post in India. In the case of Railway servants the revised pay structure of whose posts
are announced subsequent to the date of issue of these rules, the period of three months will run from
the date of such announcement.
Persons who have retired between 1 st January 2006 and the date of issue of these rules are also
eligible to exercise option.
Rule 7(1) - This rule deals with the actual fixation of pay in the existing scales on 1 st January, 2006. A
few illustrations indicating the manner in which pay of Railway servants should be fixed under this
sub-rule subject to stepping up of pay under Notes below rule 7(1) are given in the attached Annexure.
Rule 7(2) - The benefit of this rule is not admissible in cases where a Railway servant has elected the
revised pay structure in respect of his substantive post, but has retained the existing scale in respect
of an officiating post.
Rule 8 - This Rule prescribes the method of fixation of pay of employees appointed as fresh recruits
on or after 1.1.2006.
Rule 9 & 10 - These rules prescribe the manner in which the next increment in the new scale should
be regulated. The provisos to this rule are intended to eliminate the anomalies of junior Railway
servants drawing more pay than their senior by the operation of substantive part of this rule and also
taking care of the Railway servants who have been drawing pay at the maximum of the existing scale
for more than one year as on 1.1.2006 and also those Railway servants who have been stagnating at
the maximum of the existing scale and are actually in receipt of stagnation increment on ad hoc basis.
Rule 11 to 17 - These rules are self-explanatory.
Mathew John,
Secretary, Railway Board.

***
Reference Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, notified vide G.S.R. No. 643-E dated
4.9.2008 and forwarded with Railway Boards endorsement No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 4.9.2008
on the above subject.
2.
Schedule in two parts viz. Annexure A and B showing the revised pay structure applicable to
the various categories of Railway employees in Group D, C, B and A is enclosed. Notification for
Group A and B where higher replacement pay structure is to be given will be issued separately. The
revised pay structure take effect from 1 st January, 2006. The schedule has the sanction of the
President.
3.
In terms of Rule 6 of the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, Railway servants are
required to exercise their options in the format appended as Second Schedule to the Rules. The
sequence of action to be taken on receipt of the option will be as follows:
[i]
The manner of initial fixation of pay in the revised pay structure has been indicated in Rule 7 of
the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008. On the basis of this Rule, detailed Fixation Tables for
each stage in each of the pre-revised scales have been circulated by the Ministry of Finance under their
OM No. F. No. 1/1/2008-IC dated 30.08.2008. The Fixation Tables pertaining to the scales of pay
structure as applicable in the First Schedule to the Ministry of Railways notification referred to above
and Schedules annexed with this letter are enclosed as Annex-E of this letter. These may be used for
the purpose of fixation in the revised pay structure as on 1.1.2006. The detailed Fixation Tables in
respect of running staff are being issued separately.
[ii]
The Tables in Annex-E will be applicable in cases where the Government has approved normal
replacement pay scales. In cases of upgradation of posts and merger of pre-revised pay scales,
fixation of pay will be done as prescribed in Note 2A and 2B below Rule 7[1] and in the manner
indicated in illustration 4A & 4B respectively of the Explanatory Memorandum to the Railway
Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008.
[iii] In terms of the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, there shall be a uniform date of
increment i.e. 1st July of the year after implementation of the revised pay structure. Consequently in the
case of employees whose date of next increment falls on 1.1.2006, the increment will be drawn in the
pre-revised scale and pay fixed in accordance with the tables after including this increment. The next
increment in the revised pay structure in such cases will be drawn on 1 st July 2006.
[iv] On fixation of pay in the applicable revised pay bands and grade pay or in the pay scale, as the
case may be pay and allowances for the month of September, 2008 [or wage period of September
October, 2008] may be drawn and paid on the basis of the revised pay structure and the applicable
allowances thereon after deduction of enhanced subscription to the State Railway Provident Fund
which will be calculated with reference to the revised basic pay. Insofar as the employees who have
joined on or after 1.1.2004 are concerned, the enhanced deductions under the New Pension Scheme
will be calculated with reference to the revised basic pay and DA thereon.
Basic Pay in the revised pay structure means the pay drawn in the prescribed pay band plus the
applicable grade pay but does not include any other type of pay like special pay, etc. In the case of

15

Government servants in the pay scales of HAG+ and above, basic pay means the pay in the prescribed
scale.
[v]
Bills may be draw separately in respect of the arrears of pay and allowances for the period from
January 1, 2006 to August 31, 2008. The aggregate arrears computed after deduction of subscription
at enhanced rates of SRPF and New Pension Scheme with reference to the revised pay, may be paid
in two instalments, the first being restricted to 40% of the aggregate arrears. DDOs/PAOs concerned
will ensure that action is taken simultaneously in regard to Governments contribution towards
enhanced subscription. Orders in regard to the payment of the second instalment of arrears will be
issued separately.
[vi] Similar sequential action as indicated above may be taken for the authorization of the revised pay
and allowances of those employees whose options might be received later.
4.
The revised rates of all allowances, such as House Rent Allowance, Transport Allowance,
Children Education Allowance, Special Compensatory Allowance, Special Duty Allowance etc. will be
paid prospectively w.e.f. 1.09.08. Accordingly, no arrears will be paid in respect of these allowances.
However, Dearness Allowance and Non-Practising Allowance for medical doctors at rates notified
separately, will be payable w.e.f. 1.1.2006 or from the date of option.
5.
With a view to expediting the authorization and disbursement of arrears, it has been decided that
the arrear claims may be paid without pre-check of the fixation of pay in the revised scales of pay. The
facility to disburse the arrears without pre-check of fixation of pay will not, however, be available in
respect of those Government servants who have relinquished service on account of dismissal,
resignation, discharge, retirement etc. after the date of implementation of the Pay Commissions
recommendations but before the preparation and drawal of the arrear claims, as well as in respect of
those employees who has expired prior to exercising their option for the drawal of pay in the revised
scales.
6.
In order to ensure correct and systematic fixation of pay in the revised pay structure, a Proforma
for the purpose [Statement of Fixation of Pay is enclosed [Annex-C]. The statement should be
prepared in triplicate and one copy thereof should be pasted in the Service Book of the Railway
employee, the second copy kept for office record and the third copy to be set to the Accounts Officer for
post check. The instalment of Dearness Allowance sanctioned from 1.7.2006 onwards in the present
scale will be adjusted against the instalments & Dearness Allowance payable under revised formula in
the arrears on account of revision of pay scales.
7.
The requirement of pre-check of pay fixation having dispensed with, it is not unlikely that the
arrears due in some cases may be computed incorrectly leading to overpayments that might have to be
recovered subsequently. The Drawing & Disbursing Officers should, therefore make it clear to the
employees under their administrative control, while disbursing the arrears, that the payments are being
made subject to adjustment from amounts that may be due to them subsequently should any
discrepancies be noticed later. For this purpose, an undertaking may also be obtained in writing from
every employee at the time of disbursement of the arrears/pay and allowances for September, 2008 [or
wage period of September-October] to the effect that any excess payment that may be found to have
been made as a result of incorrect fixation of pay in the revised scales will be refunded by him to
Government either by adjustment against future payments or otherwise. A specimen form of the
undertaking is also enclosed [Annex-D].
8.
In authorizing the arrears, Income Tax due may also be deducted and credited to Government in
accordance with the instructions on the subject. In case a Government servant wishes to deposit his
arrears in his State Railway Provident Fund account, this may be permitted.
9.
On receipt of the necessary options action for drawal and disbursement of arrears should be
completed immediately.

should be upgraded to Group C in Pay Band 1 Grade Pay Rs.1800. Those employees who do not
possess minimum qualifications prescribed should be trained with emphasis on multi-skilling and
upgraded. The Government has since accepted the recommendation.
2.

Accordingly, Railways are required to take following action:

i]

Identify the existing Group D staff who do not possess the qualification of Matric /ITI.

ii]

Such staff should be imparted suitable training by the concerned executive department with
emphasis on multi-skilling.

iii]

The job content of the trained staff would thus include multiple task handling which would
facilitate putting a single employee to perform a number of jobs/tasks.

iv]

Most of the staff have long years of experience and already perform tasks which require
multiple skills. These staff would require guidance to make them adequately trained.

v]

Training should be imparted on seniority basis [i.e staff in regular Group D scale at higher
seniority positions should be trained first] so that a senior Group D staff due for training is not
over-taken by a similar junior Group D staff.

vi]

It is expected that Railways would meet the target of training the staff at the earliest.

Detailed instructions regarding procedure for placement in Pay Band 1 Grade Pay 1800/- will
be issued separately.

***
The undersigned is directed to refer to the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, notified
vide G.S.R. No. 643[E] dated 4 th September, 2008 and to state that clarifications are being sought
regarding the date of next increment, the method of fixation of pay on promotion after 01.01.2006, use of
fitment tables for cases of pay fixation under Rule 11 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008, fixation of pay of railway
servants who were on deputation on 1.1.06 and got promoted in the cadre subsequently while still on
deputation etc.
2.

In this connection, the following clarifications are issued:

Clarification 1: The date of next increment


[i]
As per Rule 10 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008 there will be one uniform date of annual increment, viz.,
1st July of every year. Railway servants completing 6 months and above in the revised pay structure as
on 1st of July will be eligible to be granted the increment. Accordingly, all railway servants who earned
their last increment between 02.01.2005 and 01.01.2006 would get their next increment on 01.07.2006.
[ii]
For those employees whose date of next increment falls on 01.01.2006, the instructions already
provide for granting an increment in the pre-revised pay scale as on 01.01.2006 and then fixing their pay
in the revised pay scales. Such railway servants would also get their next increment on 01.07.2006.
Clarification 2: The method of fixation of pay on promotion after 01.01.2006:
On promotion from one grade to another /financial upgradation under ACP, a railway servant
has an option under Rule 1313 [FR22[I][a][1] Indian Railway Establishment Code Vol.II [Sixth Edition
1987 -2nd Reprint, 2005] to get his pay fixed in the higher post either from the date of his promotion, or
from date of his next increment, viz., 1st July of the year. The pay will be fixed in the following manner in
the revised pay structure:
[a]
In case the railway servant opts to get his pay fixed from his date of next increment, then , on
the date of promotion, pay in the pay band shall continue unchanged, but the grade pay of the higher
post will be granted. Further refixation will be done on the date of his next increment i.e. 1 st July. On
that day, he will be granted two increments; one annual increment and the second on account of
promotion. While computing these two increments, basic pay prior to the date of promotion shall be
taken into account. To illustrate, if the basic pay prior to the date of promotion was Rs.100, first
increment would be computed on Rs.100 and the second on Rs.103.
[b]
In case the railway servant opts to get his pay fixed in the higher grade form the date of his
promotion, he shall get his first increment in the higher grade on the next 1 st July if he was promoted
between 2nd July and 1st January. However, if he was promoted between 2 nd January and 30th June of a
particular year, he shall get his increment on 1st July of next year.
Clarification 3: Use of fitment tables for cases of pay fixation under Rule 11 of RS[RP] Rules,
2008.
Rule 11 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008 provides for fixation of pay in the revised pay structure subsequent to
the 1st day of January, 2006. When the pay of a railway servant will be fixed as per Rule 11 on a date
subsequent to 01.01.2006, the fitment tables annexed with Boards letter of even number dated
11.09.2008 will be used as prescribed in the relevant provisions contained in para 2 of the said letter.
The pre-revised pay to be reckoned in such cases will be the pay of the railway servant on the day of
such fixation.
Clarification 4: Fixation of pay of railway servants who were on deputation and got promoted in
the cadre subsequently while still on deputation.
[i]
In case the railway servant was on deputation on 1.1.06 and got promoted to a higher post in
his cadre after 1.1.06, but was not granted proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule, his pay will
get fixed w.e.f. 1.1.06 in the grade which he was holding on 1.1.06.

43

[ii]
In case the railway servant had been granted proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule,
his pay will be fixed using the provisions of Next Below Rule as explained in [iii] below:
[iii]
In the revised pay structure, the pay of a Railway servant would be regulated in the following
manner on grant of proforma promotion to him under Next Below Rule.
[a]
In case a Railway servant on deputation to a post gets promoted in his cadre to a post in a
higher grade, his pay in the pay band will be fixed with reference to the pay in the pay band of the
employee immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service. However, the railway servant in
question would continue to draw the grade pay attached to the deputation post for the remaining
duration of the deputation.
[b]
In case a Railway servant on deputation to a post in PB-4 gets promoted in his cadre to a post
in HAG+, his basic pay will be fixed with reference to the basic pay of the employee immediately junior
to him in the cadre of his service, but the total of pay in the pay band and grade pay of the deputation
post will not exceed Rs.79, 000.
[c]
In case a Railway servant on deputation to a post in PB-4 gets promoted in his cadre to a post
in the apex scale, his basic pay will be fixed with reference to the basic pay of the employee
immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service, but the total of pay in the pay band and grade pay
of the deputation post will not exceed Rs.79,000.
[d]
In case a Railway servant on deputation to a post in HAG+ gets promoted in his cadre to a post
in the apex scale, his basic pay will be fixed with reference to the basic pay of the employee
immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service.
Clarification 5:

Fixation of pay of Railway servants who go on deputation to a lower post.

[i]
In case a Railway servant goes on deputation to a post carrying a lower grade pay, his pay in
the pay band would continue unchanged, but he will be granted the grade pay of the lower post for the
entire duration of the deputation.
[ii]
In case a Railway servant in HAG+ scale goes on deputation to a lower post in PB-4, his basic
pay in the deputation post will be fixed at a stage equal to his basic pay in the cadre of his service, but
the total of pay in the pay band and grade pay of the deputation post will not exceed Rs.79,000.
[iii]
In case a Railway servant in the apex scale goes on deputation to a lower post in PB-4, his pay
in the pay band will be fixed at the maximum of the PB-4 [Rs.67000] and he will be granted the grade
pay attached to the deputation post, but the total of pay in the pay band and grade pay of the
deputation post will not exceed Rs.79,000. In case deputation is from the apex scale to a post in HAG+,
the basic pay will be protected in HAG+.
Clarification 6:

Procedure for placing employees in upgraded scales in case of merger of


scales / upgradations recommended by the Sixth CPC.

[i]
Where all posts in one or more pre-revised scales are merged with a higher pre-revised scale
and given a common replacement scale/grade pay, the suitability of the incumbents need not be
assessed for granting them the higher replacement scale / grade pay and the incumbents will
automatically be granted the replacement pay scale /grade pay recommended by the Commission.
Their pay will be fixed in accordance with the fitment table annexed to Boards letter of even number
dated 11.09.08.
[ii]
Similarly, in the case of upgradations recommendation by the Pay Commission, i.e., where
all posts in a particular grade have been granted a higher replacement pay scale / grade pay, the
suitability of the incumbents need not be assessed for granting them the higher replacement scale/
grade pay. The incumbents will automatically be granted the replacement pay scale / grade pay
recommended by the Commission. Their pay in the pay band will be fixed with reference to their
fitment table corresponding to pre-revised pay scale. However, the grade pay corresponding to the
upgraded post will be granted.
Note: Railway Services [Revised Pay ] Rules, 2008 define the term basic pay in the revised pay
structure as the pay drawn in the prescribed pay band plus the applicable grade pay but does not

44

include any other type of pay like special pay, etc.. In the case of Railway servants in the pay scales of
HAG+ and above, basic pay means the pay in the prescribed scale.

Subject: Fixation of pay in the pay bands where posts have been upgraded
as a result of recommendations of Sixth CPC Clarification
regarding.
Note 2 A below Rule 7 of the RS(RP) Rules, 2008 states as under:Note 2 A

Where a post has been upgraded as a result of the recommendations of the Sixth
CPC as indicated in the Schedule to these Rules, the fixation of pay in the
applicable pay band will be done in the manner prescribed in accordance with
Clause (A)(i) and (ii) of Rule 7 by multiplying the existing basic pay as on
01.01.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding the resultant figure to the next multiple
of ten. The grade pay corresponding to the upgraded scale will be payable in
addition. Illustration 4/A in this regard is in the Explanatory Memorandum to these
Rules.

Accordingly, in cases of upgradation of posts as a result of recommendations of Sixth CPC,


the fitment table attached with the letter of even number dated 11.09.2008 corresponding to the prerevised scale shall be used for the purpose of determination of pay in the pay band. To the pay in the
pay band so determined, the grade pay corresponding to the upgraded post is to be added. This will
be the revised pay of the Railway Servant who has been upgraded as a Result of Sixth CPC
recommendation.
To illustrate, RPF/RPSF Constables (Combatised) have been upgraded from pre-revised
scale of Rs.3050-4590 to the pay scale of Rs.3200-4900 corresponding to the grade pay of Rs.2000 in
PB-1. In the case of a RPF/RPSF Combatised Constable drawing the basic pay of Rs.3575 as on
01.01.2006, his pay in the pay band will be fixed in accordance with the fitment table of the pre-revised
scale of Rs.3050-4590. Hence, his revised pay in the pay band will be Rs.6650 as per the table
corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.3050-4590. To this, the Grade Pay of Rs.2000
corresponding to the upgraded pay scale Rs.3200-4900 will be added. Consequently, his revised
basic pay would be Rs.8650 as on 01.01.2006.
The above procedure is to be adopted in all cases where pay scales have been upgraded by
the Pay Commission, including Constabulary and other Combatised ranks in the RPF/RPSF,
Assistants and Section Officers in the Railway Board, Accounts staff and the common category cadres
of Teachers and Nurses etc. This list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Similar procedure is to be
adopted for Running Staff subject to the condition that in their case fitment tables circulated vide
Boards letter of even number dated 12.9.2008 will be used for determination of pay in the pay band.
All Zonal Railways/Production Units are directed to ensure that in no case is there any
deviation from the above (subject to other provisions of RS(RP) Rules,2008). Pay fixed in the case of
upgradations in any manner other than the above, will be rectified.

Whether rounding off to next multiple of 10

of 10. For example, if the pay after drawal
of increment works out to Rs.10510.10 the
same has to be rounded off to 10520 or

Clarifications

In the case of Fitment Tables annexed with


Boards letter of even number dated 11.9.08
and 12.9.08 rounding off has already been
done and the same should be implemented
without any modification.
In the case of calculation of increments under
the revised pay structure, paise should be
ignored, but any amount of a rupee or more
should be rounded off to next multiple of 10.
To illustrate, if the amount of increment comes
to Rs.1900.70 paise, then the amount will be
rounded off to Rs.1900; if the amount of
increment works out to be 1901, then it will be
rounded off to Rs.1910.

in receipt of Special pay of Rs.70/- p.m who on recommendation of Fifth CPC were upgraded as Head

receipt of special pay of Rs.70/- p.m who on recommendation of
Fifth CPC were upgraded as Head Clerks and placed in the same
scale of Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f 1.1.96

Pursuant to the issue of Boards letter dated 17.8.98, an anomaly arose in as much as those
Sr.Clerks who were in receipt of special pay and promoted as Head Clerks prior to 01.01.1996 were
fixed at a lower stage as on 1.1.96 vis--vis those Sr. Clerks in receipt of special pay but promoted as
Head Clerk after 1.1.1996.
2.
In view of the above, the matter has been examined in Boards office and it has been decided
that in accordance with Note 1 below Rule 8 of RSRP Rules,1997, the pay of Head Clerks ( grade
Rs.1400-2300) may be stepped up at par with Senior Clerks ( grade Rs.1200-2040) in receipt of Spl.
Pay of Rs.70/- who, on the recommendation of Fifth CPC were upgraded as Head Clerks and placed
in the same scale of Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f. 1.1.1996. The benefit of stepping up of pay, wherever

54

admissible, will be allowed only in cases where the promotion was on a regular basis and from the
date the junior employee started drawing more pay than his senior.
3.
The stepping up of pay in these cases will be subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of
natural principles viz. (i) both senior and junior employees belonged to the same cadres in the lower
and higher posts and their scales of pay in the two posts were also identical; (ii) the senior employee
was drawing equal or more pay than junior in the lower post; (iii) the senior employee was promoted
earlier than his junior; and (iv) the next increment of such a senior will be drawn on completion of the
required qualifying service from the date of re-fixation of pay.
4.

Further, the stepping up of pay will not be allowed in the following cases:a)
where an employee, even though senior was not found suitable for appointment to the
identified posts of Senior Clerks carrying special pay;
b)
where the Sr. employee declined to accept deployment/appointment or was appointed at
a later date than the junior to the identified posts for whatsoever reasons whereby he draws less
pay than the junior, in such cases senior cannot claim stepping up of pay at par with junior;
c)
where an employee was away outside the cadre at the time when his junior was
appointed to the identified post;
d)
where a senior proceeds on extra ordinary leave which results in postponement of date of
next increment in the lower post, consequently he starts drawing less pay than his junior in the
lower grade itself. He, therefore, cannot claim pay parity on promotion;
e)
where the employee has been promoted to the post of Head Clerk against quota reserved
for SC/ST/OBC/Sports etc. even before becoming eligible for the identified post carrying special
pay;
f)
where junior gets more pay due to additional increments earned on acquiring higher
qualifications or on sports account; and
g)
where a senior was appointed later than the junior in the lower post itself whereby he is in
receipt of lesser pay than the junior, in such cases also senior cannot claim parity in the higher
post though he may have been promoted earlier to the higher post.

regarding.

***
As per the provisions of Rule 10 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008, w.e.f. 01.01.2006 in the case of all
Railway employees there is a uniform date of increment, i.e.1 st of July of every year. Railway servants
completing six months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1 st of July are eligible to be
granted the increment. From the above provision of RS[RP] Rules it flows that Railway servants who
have rendered less than 6 months of service as on 1 st of July of a year will not be eligible to draw
increment on that day and their date of increment will fall 12 months later on next 1 st of July.
Accordingly, all the Railway servants who join posts in a particular grade on account of promotion /
appointment etc. on 1st January of a year will be eligible to draw their annual increment on the 1 st of
July of that year. However, those who join the posts between 2 nd January and 30th June will not be
eligible for the same.
2.
In the light of the above position, clarification has been sought regarding the date of next
increment in cases where Railway servants are not able to join posts in a particular grade pay on
promotion /appointment on first of January of a year due to 1 st of January falling on a Sunday or

55

Gazetted holiday. It has been clarified by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure that in
the normal course, if a Railway servant was to join post in a grade pay on appointment /promotion on
1st of January of a year, but he could not join the post only because 1 st of January of the year
happened to be a Sunday or Gazetted holiday the Railway servants who join the posts on the 1 st
working day of the year will be treated to have completed 6 months of service on 1 st of July of that year
for the purpose of granting them annual increment on that day.

of the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008 vide Rule 2[2] [vii] thereof. The question of
extension of the benefit of the revised pay rules to these persons and the procedure to be followed for
fixing their pay in the revised scales has been considered by the Government. The President is
pleased to decide that, in partial modification of the Rule 2 [2] [vii] of the Railway Services [Revised
Pay] Rules, 2008, the provisions of these rules shall apply to such persons also who were in reemployment on 1st January, 2006, subject to the orders hereinafter contained. This decision will cover
all Railway servants re-employed on Railways other than those employed on contract whether they
have retired with or without a pension and / or gratuity or any other retirement benefits, e.g.
contributory fund etc. from a civil post or from the Armed Forces.
2[I]
The initial pay of a re-employed Railway servant who elects or is deemed to have elected to
be governed by the revised pay scale from the 1 st day of January 2006 shall be fixed in the following
manner namely:According to the provisions of Rule 7 of the RS[RP] Rules, 2008, if he is
[i]
[ii]

a Railway servant who retired without receiving a pension, gratuity or any other retirement
benefit and
a retired Railway servant who received pension or any other retirement benefits but which
were ignored while fixing pay on re-employment.

2[II]
The initial pay of a re-employed Railway servant who retired with a pension or any other
retirement benefit and whose pay on re-employment was fixed with reference to these benefits or
ignoring a part thereof, and who elects or is deemed to have elected to be governed by the revised
scales from the 1st day of January, 2006 shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions contained in
Rule 7 of the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008. In addition to the pay so fixed, the reemployed Railway servant would continue to draw the retirement benefits he was permitted to draw in
the pre-revised scales, as modified based on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay
Commission, orders in respect of which have been issued separately by the Department of Pension &
Pensioners Welfare. However, an amount equivalent to the revised pension [excluding ignorable
portion of pension, wherever permissible], effective from 1.1.2006 or after, shall be deducted from his
pay in accordance with the general policy of the Government on fixation of pay of re-employed
pensioners. Annual increments will be allowed in the manner laid down in Rule 10 of Railway
Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, on the entire amount of pay as if pension had not be deducted.
3.
Re-employed persons who become eligible to elect revised scale in accordance with these
orders should exercise their option in the manner laid down in Rule 6 of the Railway Services [Revised
Pay] Rules, 2008 within three months of the date of issue of these orders or in cases where the

56

existing scale of pay of the posts held by them are revised subsequent to the issue of these orders,
within three months of the date of orders / notification revising the scales.
4.
Where a re-employed Railway servant elects to draw his pay in the existing scale and is
brought over to revised scale from a date later than the 1 st day of January, 2006, his pay from the later
date in the revised scale shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 11 of the Railway
Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008.
5.
Further, the existing ceiling of Rs.26000/- for drawal of pay plus gross pension on reemployment is enhanced to Rs.80000/-, the maximum salary payable to the ex-officio Secretary to the
Government of India under Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008.
6.
The President is also pleased to enhance the ignorable part of pension from Rs.1500/- to
Rs.4000/- [Rupees four thousand] in the case of Commissioned Service Officers and civil officers
holding Group A posts who retire before attaining the age of 55 years. The existing limits of civil and
military pensions to be ignored in fixing the pay of re-employed pensioners will, therefore, cease to be
applicable to cases of such pensioners as are re-employed on or after 1.1.2006. In the cases of
persons who are already on re-employment, the pay may be fixed on the basis of these orders with
effect from 1.1.2006, provided they opt to come under these orders. If they so opt, their terms would
be determined afresh as if they have been re-employed for the first time from 1.1.2006. The option
should be exercised in writing within three months from the date of issue of these orders. The option
once exercised is final.
7.

These orders shall take effect from 1.1.2006.

Sub: Anomaly in fixation of pay of Loco Supervisory staff appointed
prior to 01.01.2006 with reference to their juniors appointed after
01.01.2006 and drawing more pay than the seniors.
***
It has come to the notice of the Board that staff appointed prior to 01.01.2006 as Loco
Running Supervisors in the pre-revised scales, whose pay has been fixed in the replacement pay
structure for Loco Running Supervisors under the RS[RP] Rules, 2008, are drawing less pay than
their juniors appointed as Loco Running Supervisor after 01.01.2006. The anomaly has arisen due to
the fact that the benefit of element of Running allowance granted at the time of promotion of running
staff to a stationary post has been granted to the junior in the revised pay structure, whereas, the
same benefit granted to the senior is of lesser value as the same has been calculated on pre-revised
pay scale.
2.
It has been decided that the anomaly may be resolved by granting stepping up of pay in the
pay band to the seniors at par with the juniors in terms of Note 10 below Rule 7 of RS[RP] Rules,
2008.
3.

The benefit of stepping up of pay in the pay band will be subject to the following conditions:

[a]
Both the junior and the senior Railway servants should belong to the same cadre and the
posts in which they have been promoted should be identical in the same cadre and other conditions
enumerated in Note 10 below Rule 7 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008 should also be fulfilled.
[b]
The stepping up of pay will be allowed to running staff only appointed as Loco Supervisors in
whose cases 30% of basic pay is taken as pay element in the running allowance. The stepping up of
pay will not be admissible to the non-running staff of Mechanical Deptt. appointed as Loco Running
Supervisors as in their cases the question of pay element in the running allowance does not arise;
[c]
If even in the lower post, revised or pre-revised, the junior was drawing more pay than the
senior by virtue of advance increments granted to him or otherwise, stepping up will not be
permissible;
[d]
Stepping up will be allowed only once, the pay so fixed after stepping up will remain
unchanged;
[e]
The next increment will be allowed on the following 1 st July, if due, on completion of the
requisite qualifying service with effect from the date of refixation of pay, as per the provisions of Rule
10 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008.

Sixth Pay Commission recommended merger of the three pre-revised scales of Rs.50008000, RS.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 and replaced them by the revised pay structure of grade pay
of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2 vide Para 2.2.21(v) of its Report, the Commission recommended that
on account of the merger of these 3 scales, some posts which constituted feeder and promotion
grades would come to lie in an identical grade. The Commission gave specific recommendations in its
Report granting higher grade pay of Rs.4600 to some categories of these posts. As regards the other
posts, the Commission recommended that it should first be seen if the posts in these 3 scales can be
merged without any functional disturbance and if possible, the same should be done. Further, the
Commission recommended that in case it is not feasible to merge the posts in these pay scales on
functional consideration, the posts in the scale Rs.5000-8000 and Rs.5500-9000 should be merged
with the posts in the scale of Rs.6500-10500 being upgraded to the next higher grade in the pay band
PB-2 with grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7400-11500. In case a
post already exists in the scale of Rs.7450-11500, the post being upgraded from the scale of Rs.650010500 should be merged with the post in the scale of Rs.7450-11500.
3.
The Ministry has received a large number of references from various Railways/Production
Units and other Institutes/Departments proposing up-gradation of the posts which were in the prerevised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006 by granting them grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay
band PB-2. Consequent upon decision taken by Ministry of Finance, it has now been decided that the
posts which were in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006 and which were
granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2 will be
granted grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of
Rs.7450-11500 w.e.f. 01.01.2006. Further, as already stipulated in note 2 under schedule circulated
vide Annexure B of Boards letter No.PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dt.11.09.2008 in case a post already
existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 the posts being upgraded from the scale of
Rs.6500-10500 should be merged with the post in the scale of Rs.7450-11500.
4.
Accordingly, in terms of Rule 6 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008, revised pay of Railway servants in the
pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 who were earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who have
already exercised their option for drawal of pay in the revised pay structure in the format prescribed in
the Second Schedule to the Rules, will be fixed again in accordance with illustration 4-A Annexed to
RS(RP) Rules,2008.
5.
In case of all such Railway servants in the pre-revised scale of
Rs.6500-10500 who were
earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who had opted to have their pay fixed under RS(RP)
Rules,2008, action as prescribed in this Ministrys letter No.PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 11.09.2008
will be taken. In case a Railway servant desires to revise his earlier option for coming over to the
revised pay structure, he may be permitted to do so without making any reference to Board.
6.
On account of pay fixation in the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay
band PB-2, arrears of pay will be recalculated and difference of arrears in respect of the entire
amount will be paid immediately. The manner of drawal of arrears has already been indicated in this
Ministrys letter No.PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 11.09.2008.

This has the sanction of the President and issues with the concurrence of the Finance
Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

<<<>>>
Consequent upon the Notification of CCS(RP) Rules,2008, Department of Expenditure
received a large number of references from administrative ministries/departments proposing
upgradation of the posts which were in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 by
granting them grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2. After considering the matter, vide O.M. of
even number dated 13th November,2009, the Government has approved grant of the pay structure of
grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to posts that existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs.650010500 as on 1.1.2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of
Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2. Separately, the Government also received reference from various
sections regarding upgradation of the grade pay of Assistants in the Central Secretariat. After
considering the matter, it has been decided to extend the pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the
pay band PB-2 to Assistants belonging to Central Secretariat Service, Armed Forces Headquarter
Service, Indian Foreign Service B and Railway Board Secretariat Service and Personal Assistants
(PAs) in their counterpart Stenographer Services w.e.f. 1.1.2006.
Consequent upon the above upgradation, the pay of the above category of Government
servants will be fixed again in accordance with illustration 4A annexed to CCS(RP) Rules,2008. As a
result of refixation of pay, in case a Government servant desires to revise his earlier option for coming
over to the revised pay structure, he may be permitted to do so without making any reference to this
Department.
On account of pay fixation in the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay
band PB-2 arrears of pay will be recalculated and difference of arrears in respect of the entire amount

65

will be paid immediately. The manner of drawal of arrears has already been indicated in this
Departments O.M. of even number dated 30.08.2008.
While considering the case of granting upgraded grade pay of Rs.4600 to Assistants and PAs
in the Central Secretariat, it is noted that Sixth Pay Commission had recommended parity in terms of
hierarchical structure of Office Staff in Field and Secretariat offices upto the level of Assistants and this
recommendation had been accepted by the Government. However, one of the reasons due to which
Assistants of Central Secretariat are being granted grade pay of Rs.4600 is the fact that there is an
element of direct recruitment to the post and that too, through an All India Competitive Examination.
With the issue of this Departments O.M. of even number dated 13 th November, 2009, the grade pay of
Rs.4600 has already been introduced in the case of Office Staff in Field Offices. As far as Central
Secretariat is concerned, in order to continue to maintain parity between Field and Secretariat offices,
introduction of a level in the hierarchy of Central Secretariat having grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay
band PB-2 between the grades of Upper Division Clerks and Assistants is necessary.
The manner in which the new grade in the hierarchy of Central Secretariat should be
introduced may be decided by DOPT in consultation with Department of Expenditure. Introduction of
this new grade in the hierarchy will be applicable in the case of all the four Headquarter Services viz.
Central Secretariat Service, Armed Forces Headquarter Service, Indian Foreign Service B and
Railway Board Secretariat Service and their counterpart Stenographer Services. The decision to
introduce the new grade in the hierarchy of Central Secretariat Service will be implemented from a
prospective date.

66

clarifications regarding fixation of pay on deputation on account of the replacement of the pre-revised
S-30 scale by the new HAG scale are issued.
1.

CASES WHERE GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WERE ON DEPUTATION AS ON 01-012006.


(A) In case a Government servant was on deputation to post in PB-4 with grade pay of Rs,.10000
on 1-1-2006 and got promoted to the HAG scale in his cadre after 01.01.2006 while still
on deputation and was also granted proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule, his
pay will be fixed in the manner indicated below:As on 1.1.2006, the pay of the Government servant will be fixed with reference to the
fitment table of the pre-revised scale of Rs.18400-22400. Subsequently, when he gets
promoted to HAG scale in his cadre and is allowed proforma promotion under the Next
Below Rule, his basic pay will be fixed with reference to the basic pay of the officer
immediately below him in his parent cadre (who is working in the cadre), though he will
continue to be in the pay band PB-4. From such basic pay, Rs.10,000 will be treated as
grade pay and the rest as pay in the pay band. The Government servant will continue to
earn his annual increments during the remaining period of deputation subject to a
maximum pay in the pay band of Rs.67000 (the maximum of the pay band PB-4).
(B) In case a Government servant was on deputation to a post in PB-4 with grade pay of
Rs.10000 on 1.1.2006, but had already been promoted to the HAG scale in his cadre prior to
1.1.2006, his pay will be fixed in the manner indicated
below:(i)
As on 1.1.2006, the pay of the Government servant will be fixed with reference to
the fitment table of the pre-revised scale of Rs.18400-22400. Immediately thereafter (on the
same day), his basic pay will be stepped up with reference to the revised basic pay of the
officer immediately below him in his parent care (who is working in the cadre). From such
stepped up basic pay, Rs.10,000 will be treated as grade pay and the rest as pay in the pay
band PB-4. The government servant will continue to earn his annual increments during the
remaining period of deputation subject to a maximum pay in the pay band of Rs.67000 (the
maximum of the pay band PB-4)
(ii)
Subsequently, in case the Government servant got laterally appointed on deputation
basis to a post in the HAG scale, his pay in the pay band and grade pay will be consolidated
and will become his basic pay in the HAG scale, subject to a maximum of Rs.79000.
2.
CASES WHERE GOVERNMENT SERVANTS PROCEED ON DEPUTATION AFTER 0101-2006.
(A)
In case a Government servant comes on deputation to a post in PB-4 with grade pay
of
Rs.10000 after 1.1.2006 and later gets promoted to the HAG scale in his cadre and is also granted
proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule, his pay will be fixed in the manner indicated below:On his appointment on deputation basis, the pay of the government servant will be fixed as
per the terms of deputation/extant rules. Subsequently, when he gets promoted to HAG scale
in his cadre and is allowed proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule, his basic pay will
be fixed with reference to the basic pay of the officer immediately below him in his parent
cadre (who is working in the cadre) but will continue to be in PB-4. From such basic pay,
Rs.10,000 will be treated as grade pay and the rest as pay in the pay band. The Government
servant will continue to earn his annual increments during the period of deputation subject to a
maximum pay in the pay band of Rs.67000 (the maximum of the pay band PB-4).
(B) Fixation of pay of Government servants who are in the grade pay of Rs.10000 in the pay
band PB-4 in their parent cadre and who go on deputation, other than under the Central
Staffing Scheme (i) directly to a post in HAG scale, and (ii) to a post in the same grade
pay and thereafter get laterally appointed on deputation basis to a higher post in the
HAG scale will be done in the manner indicated below:In such cases, as per extant instructions, on his appointment on deputation basis, the
Government servant has the option to have his pay fixed either with reference to his pay in his parent
cadre (in which case he will also be eligible for deputation (duty) allowance), or to opt for the pay of the
post. If the Government servant opts to have his pay fixed in the pay of the post, his pay will be fixed

67

in the HAG scale by granting an increment to his basic pay @ 3% and adding Rs.2000 thereto, subject
to a minimum of Rs.67000 and maximum of Rs.79000.
3.
PAY FIXATION OF GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WHO PROCEED ON DEPUTATION
UNDER THE CENTRAL STAFFING SCHEME AFTER 01.01.2006.
(A)
In case a Government servant comes on deputation to a post in PB-4 with grade pay
of
Rs.10000 after 1.1.2006 and later gets promoted to the HAG scale in his cadre and is also granted
proforma promotion under the Next Below Rule, his pay will be fixed in the manner indicated below:Under the extant rules, Government servants are not permitted to go on deputation to
a lower level post. The same is, however, permitted under the Central Staffing Scheme.
Accordingly, in case a Government Servant in HAG scale goes on a deputation (under the
Central Staffing Scheme) to a lower post in PB-4 with grade pay of Rs.10000, his basic pay in
the deputation post will be fixed at a stage equal to his basic pay his parent cadre. However,
since the basic pay of Joint Secretaries/equivalent posts has two components, viz., grade pay
(Rs.10000) and pay in the pay band, in such cases, the pay on deputation will be fixed by
treating Rs.10000 from the basic pay as grade pay and the remaining amount as pay in the
pay band. To illustrate, if a Government servants basic pay in the cadre in HAG grade was
Rs.73220, on his appointment on deputation basis as a Joint Secretary under the Central
Staffing Scheme, his basic pay will continue to be Rs.73220, of which Rs.10000 will be treated
as grade pay and the remaining Rs.63220 as pay in the pay band. Thereafter, he will
continue to earn his annual increments, subject to his pay in the pay band not exceeding
Rs.67000.
(B)

Fixation of pay of Government servants who are in the HAG scale in their parent care and go
on deputation to a post in the grade pay of Rs.10000 in the pay band PB-4 under the Central
Staffing Scheme and thereafter get appointed on deputation basis to posts in the HAG scale
will be done in the manner indicated below:In such cases, on initial appointment to a post in the grade pay of Rs.10000 in PB-4, the pay
of a Government servant will be fixed in the manner indicated in 3.(A) above. Subsequently,
when the Government servant is appointed on deputation basis to a post in HAG scale under
the Central Staffing Scheme, his pay in the pay band and grade pay will consolidated and will
become his basic pay in the HAG scale subject to a maximum of Rs.79000.
2.
The term basic pay in the revised pay structure is defined under Rule 3(8) of
CCS(RP) Rules, 2008.
3.
The clarifications issued vide this Departments OM of even number dated 13 th
September,2008 stand modified to the extent that they were applicable in the case of
deputations relating to the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.12000 in the pay band PB4 which has now been substituted by new HAG scale. In respect of all other grade pays/pay
scales, the earlier clarifications continues to be valid.

promotion as per the normal DPC guidelines, based on the provisions of the recruitment rules. UPSC
will be consulted wherever the rules provide for the same. However at the time of promotion, the pay
in the grade will not be fixed again for officers who have been granted upgradation under these
orders.
Officers on deputation/study leave or any other duly sanctioned leave would also be considered and
granted higher pay scale on non-functional basis according to the prescribed procedure.
Non-functional up-gradation to the next higher grade pay granted under the scheme is a fall back

*****
This Department vide OM dated 24.4.09 issued instructions regarding non-functional
upgradation for officers of Organised Group A services in PB-3 and PB-4. Subsequently vide OM
dated 21.5.09, details regarding the batch of officers belonging to the IAS and who have been posted
at the Centre in various grades of PB-3 and PB-4 w.e.f. 1.1.2006 as well as the date of posting of the
first officer belonging to the batch were indicated. In this connection, clarifications have been sought
from this Department by some Ministries/Departments and by individual representations. The same
have been considered by this Department in consultation with Department of Expenditure and
following clarifications are issued.
1

Point of doubt
This office Memo refers to the term Batch. In Central
Civil Services and Indian Engineering Services, the
definition of a batch is, the year in which the exam is
conducted. In some other services, the recruitment is
done through interview only. Where recruitment is done
through interview only, the Batch is the year in which
the Advertisement is issued by the UPSC or the year of
interview for recruitment
In some services, there is induction of Group B officers
into the Organised Group A service. Whether these
officers will be eligible for the benefits under this OM. If
so how the criteria of batch will be decided in their case.

In the OM dated 21.5.09, all officers of Group A


services belonging to 1984 and earlier batches are
clubbed together for providing the non-functional
upgradation to SAG w.e.f. 26.10.2006, the date on
which the first officer of 1986 batch of IAS was
appointed as JS at the Centre. The cut off date for
granting non-functional upgradation to SAG to batches
senior to the 1984 batch should have been 01.01.2006.
Similarly in other grades.

Para 7 of the terms and conditions of Annexure I


provides that pay fixation will be done as per the
provisions of CCS(RP) Rules,2008.Whether the officers
can exercise option regarding date of fixation in the
higher scale as provided in CCS (RP) Rules.
Whether retired employees are to be granted the
benefit of non functional upgradation.

5.

70

Clarification
Since different services have different criteria
for defining Batch, the term Batch in the OM
refers to the year of joining the service.

Officers inducted into Group A Organised


service will also be eligible for the benefit of
Non-functional upgradation. They shall be
assigned the benefit of Batch corresponding
to the batch of the direct recruit officers with
whom their seniority is clubbed.
The scheme for non-functional upgradation of
officers of Organised Group A services in PB3 and PB-4 is based on the recommendations
of the 6th CPC. These recommendations have
been implemented only from 1.1.2006. As
such, any upgradation can be only with
reference to the officers of IAS posted to the
Centre after 1.1.06. Therefore, the request for
granting non-functional upgradation w.e.f.
1.1.06 is not permissible.
Provisions of CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 will apply

Para 6 of our instructions provide that benefits


would be from due date. Therefore, even

retired officers who are otherwise eligible as


on due date would need to be considered.

The new HAG scale of Rs.67,000-79,000 has been introduced in replacement of the prerevised S-30 scale. It is clarified that consequent upon the carving out of the new HAG scale, nonfunctional upgradation under the scheme will be available to particular Grade Pays in PB-3 and PB-4
and also to the HAG scale. SAG officers can be allowed Non-functional upgradation to the HAG
Grade only where there is such a Grade in the Service.

*****
Consequent upon the replacement of the pre-revised S-30 Scale (Rs.22400-24500) by the new
HAG scale of Rs.67000-79000, clarifications have been sought from various quarters regarding fixation
of pay on promotion to the new HAG scale in cases where the officers opted to have their pay fixed
under Rule 1313 (FR 22)(I)(a)(1) , i.e. from, the date of next increment.
In this context, it is clarified that in cases of promotion to the HAG scale of Rs.67000-79000, if a
Railway servant opts to have his pay fixed under Rule 1313 (FR 22)(I)(a)(1), Indian Railway
Establishment Code Volume II, on the date of promotion his pay will be fixed by adding an amount of
Rs.2000 to his basic pay. Further re-fixation will be done on the date of the next increment of the
Railway servant concerned i.e. 1 st of July. On that day, he will be granted two increments; one annual
increment and the second on account of promotion. While computing these two increments, the basic
pay prior to date of promotion shall be taken into account.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Sub: Applicability of minimum pay/stepping up of pay clarification reg.
***
A number of references have been received in this office regarding applicability, for
departmental promotees, of minimum entry pay prescribed for direct recruits ( appointed on or after
1.1.2006), in Section II of Part A of the First Schedule of RS(RP)Rules,2008. References have also
been received regarding stepping up of pay of senior promotees with reference to such of their directly
recruited juniors who are recruited on or after 1.1.2006 and whose basic pay is more than that of their
seniors.
2.
The matter has been examined in consultation with Ministry of Finance. In this connection it is
clarified that the revised pay structure comprises grade pays and running pay bands and in the case of
those Railway servants who were already in service before 1.1.2006, Sixth Pay Commission has not
prescribed a minimum pay in the running pay band with reference to the minimum entry level pay
prescribed for direct recruits appointed on or after 1.1.2006. Further, the Sixth CPC has not prescribed
minimum pay in the pay band for the purpose of fixation of pay on promotion in the case of any grade
and fixing of minimum pay in the pay band in the case of each grade pay for departmental promotees
would defeat the very purpose of introduction of running pay bands.
3.
As far as the matter relating to bringing the pay of existing Railway servants as on 1.1.2006 at
par with the pay of direct recruits recruited on or after 1.1.2006 is concerned, it is clarified that the pay
of those Railway servants who joined the Railway as direct recruits on or after 1.1.2006 is to be fixed
as per Section II, Part A of the First Schedule to the RS(RP)Rules,2008 and the procedure of pay
fixation is based on a specific recommendation of the Sixth Pay Commission, which has been
accepted by the Government. As far as pay fixation in respect to those Railway servants who were
already in service on 1.1.2006 is concerned, the same is to be done as per the provisions of Rule 7 of
RS(RP)Rules,2008 and in accordance with the fitment tables annexed with this Ministrys letter No.
PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 11.9.2008.
4.

In the light of the foregoing, it is clarified that in terms of RS(RP)Rules,2008:(a)

no minimum pay in the pay band can be prescribed in the case of promotion of
Railway servants from one grade to another ( except in the case of change in pay
band); and

(b)

pay of those Railway servants who were already in service on 1.1.2006 can not be
fixed with reference to the minimum entry pay prescribed for those who joined the

74

Railways as direct recruits on or after 1.1.2006 as per Section II, Part A of the First
Schedule to the RS(RP)Rules,2008.
5.

6.

However, stepping up of pay of seniors can be permitted with reference to such of their
directly recruited juniors borne on the same seniority list who are recruited on or after
1.1.2006 and whose basic pay is more than that of the seniors, subject to the following
conditions:(a)

Stepping up of the basic pay of seniors can be claimed only in the case of those
cadres which have an element of direct recruitment and in cases where a directly
recruited junior is actually drawing more basic pay than the seniors. In such
cases, the basic pay of the seniors will be stepped up with reference to the basic
pay of the juniors. Stepping up will be applicable from the date junior direct recruit
is actually drawing higher basic pay than the senior.

(b)

Further, Railway servants cannot claim stepping up of their revised basic pay with
reference to entry pay in the revised pay structure for direct recruits appointed on
or after 1.1.2006 as laid down in Section II of Part A of First Schedule to the
RS(RP)Rules,2008, if their cadre does not have an element of direct recruitment,
or in cases where no junior is drawing basic pay higher than them.

(c)

Stepping up of pay of the seniors shall not be applicable in cases where pay of
direct recruits has been fixed at a higher stage on account of grant of advance
increments etc. at the time of recruitment.

This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Vide this Departments OM of even number dated 13 th September,2008 clarifications to the CCS

of pay of Government servants (including officers of Group A services) in cases where they were on

75

deputation and got promoted in the cadre subsequently while still on deputation and where Government
servants go on deputation to a lower post, respectively.
2.
Consequent upon the issue of the above Clarifications, individual representations and enquiries
from some administrative ministries etc. have been received in this Department. While some clarifications
were regarding applicability of Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT)O.M. number No.2/29/91-Estt.
(Pay-II) dated 5.1.1994, others specifically related to pay fixation while on Central Deputation under the
Central Staffing Scheme after the implementation of the revised pay structure as a result of Sixth CPCs
recommendations. In this connection, it is hereby clarified that DoPTs consolidated instructions on the
subject of transfer of Central Government employees on deputation/foreign service etc., issued vide their
O.M. number No.2/29/91-Estt(Pay II) dated 05.01.1994 continue to be in vogue. In the light of the same,
the following two set of clarifications are given. While clarifications under sub-heading (A) specifically relate
to cases of deputation under the Central Staff Scheme alone, those under sub-heading (B) are applicable in
all other cases of deputation:(A)
i)

CASES OF DEPUTATION UNDER THE CENTRAL STAFFING SCHEME.


The extant Rules relating to Central Staffing Scheme permit officers holding posts in the higher pay
scales in their parent cadres to be eligible for deputations under the Central Staffing Scheme for
posts in lower scales of pay. Since this dispensation under the Central Staffing Scheme will continue
to apply, Clarification 5 has been issued to regulate such cases;

ii) In cases where pay has been regulated in terms of Clarification 4 of this Departments OM of even
number dated 13th September 2008, the pay of officers belonging to AIS/Group A Services will be
fixed on repatriation to their parent cadres from deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme by
granting the grade pay of their substantive post in their cadre and fixing pay in the pay band with
reference to the pay in the pay band of their next junior who has continued in the cadre giving
notional benefit of increments as at present;

iii)

In cases where officers of the AIS/Group A services are on Deputation under the Central
Staffing Scheme to a post with a lower grade pay than the grade pay attached to their substantive
post in their parent cadre and where their pay has been regulated in terms of Clarification 5 of this
Departments OM of even number dated 13 th September, 2008; in such cases, on their subsequent
appointment to a higher post while on deputation, the officers will be granted the grade pay of the
higher post.
In the case of repatriation to their parent cadre, the Government servant will be granted the higher
grade pay of their substantive post and their pay in the pay band will be fixed with reference to the
pay in the pay band of their next junior who has continued in the cadre, giving notional benefit of
increments as at present.

iv) As per DOPT O.M.No.31/5/2002-EO(MM.I) dated 28 th February 2002, if an officer (of All India/Group
A Service) has got non-functional Selection Grade in his/her parent cadre then he/she is eligible to
draw his/her grade pay from the date he/she has been granted the Non-functional Selection Grade
by his/her parent cadre plus deputation allowance but the post of Deputy Secretary held by him/her
can be redesignated as Director only when he/she has completed 14 years of service, as on 1 st July
of the year in which 14 years are completed. Following the implementation of the Sixth CPCs
recommendations, the conditions regarding appointment of Deputy Secretary under Central
Staffing Scheme remain unaltered and, therefore, the provisions of the above clarification of
EO(MM) Division still hold good.
B)
(i)

ALL OTHER CASES OF DEPUTATION


In terms of para 3.5 of DoPT O.M. dated 05.01.1994, a person in a higher scale of pay shall not be
appointed on deputation to a post in a lower scale of pay. Accordingly, in the case of deputations
other than under the Central Staffing Scheme, Government servants holding posts in a higher grade
will continue to be ineligible for appointment on deputation to posts in the lower grades;
(ii) However, a Government servant already on deputation/foreign service as on 1.1.2006 would be
entitled to exercise his option as prescribed in para 4 of DoPT O.M. dated 1.5.1994 for getting his
pay fixed on deputation. This option will also be available for future deputations. Accordingly, in
terms of sub para [c] of para 4.3 of DoPT O.M. dated 01.05.1994, which states that when the scale
of pay of the parent post on the basis of which his emoluments are regulated during
deputation/foreign service or of the ex-cadre post held by the Government servant on
deputation/foreign service is revised either prospectively or from a retrospective date, Government
servants on deputation can revise their option if the scale of pay of their parent post or the post held
by them on deputation has been revised as a result of implementation of Sixth CPCs

76

recommendations. This will ensure that those Government servants whose parent post or the post
held by them on deputation has been upgraded as a result of Sixth Central Pay Commissions
recommendations will not suffer a monetary loss on this account, and
(iii) In cases where pay has been regulated in terms of Clarification 4 of this Departments OM of even
number dated 13th September,2008, the pay of Government servants will be fixed on repatriation to
their parent cadres by granting them the grade pay of their substantive post in their cadre and their
pay in the pay band will be fixed with reference to the pay in the pay band of their next junior who
has continued in the cadre, giving notional benefit of increments as at present.

Sub: Fixation of pay and grant of increments in the revised pay


structure Clarifications reg.
***
Following the notification of the Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, this Ministry has
received references from some Railways seeking clarifications regarding fixation of pay in cases of
Railway Servants drawing pay at maximum of the scale or drawing stagnation increment[s] in the prerevised scale. The matter has been examined in consultation with Ministry of Finance, Department of
Expenditure. The points of doubt and clarifications thereto are as under:
S.No.
1

2.

Points of Doubt
As per the proviso to Rule 10 of Railway Services
[Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, in the case of persons
who had been drawing maximum of the existing
scale for more than a year as on the 1 st day of
January, 2006, the next increment in the revised
pay structure shall be allowed on the 1st day of
January, 2006. Whether the benefit of one
additional increment under the proviso to Rule 10
of RS [RP] Rules, 2008 would be available even to
those who had reached the maximum of the scale
on 1.1.2005, i.e. drawing maximum of pay exactly
for one year as on 1.1.2006?
Whether even those employees who had already
been granted one, two or three stagnation
increments after reaching the maximum of the scale
and thereafter drawing such pay for exactly one
year [having drawn last stagnation increment on
1.1.2005] or more than one year as on 1.1.2006 are
also to be granted benefit of one additional
increment as per proviso to of Rule 10 of RS [RP]
Rules, 2008?
In accordance with Note 7 below Rule 7 of the
Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008, in
cases where the revised pay of a Railway Servant
who was, immediately before 1.1.2006, drawing
more pay than another Railway Servant junior to
him in the same cadre, gets fixed in the revised pay
band at a stage lower than that of such junior, his
pay shall be stepped up to the same stage in the
revised pay band as that of the junior. Whether the
provisions of this note will be applicable in the
situation where such a senior Railway Servant who
was immediately before 1.1.2006 drawing more
pay than another Railway Servant junior to him in
the same cadre gets fixed at a stage lower than that
of such junior due to grant of additional increment
as per 1st proviso to Rule 10 of RS [RP] Rules,
2008?

Clarifications
As already clarified vide Clarification No. 5 issued vide
Railway Boards letter No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated
11.2.2009 [S.No. PC-VI/76, RBE No.28/2009] in all cases,
where a Railway Servant has been granted an increment
[whether normal annual increment or stagnation increment]
after January 1, 2005, no increment will be allowed on
1.1.2006 at the time of fixation of pay in the revised pay
structure.
From the foregoing, it is evident that in cases where Railway
Servants have been granted an increment [whether normal
annual increment or stagnation increment] after January 1,
2005, no increment will be allowed on 1.1.2006 at the time
of fixation of pay in the revised pay structure. In other
words, those who were granted their last increment
[whether normal annual increment or stagnation increment]
on or before 1.1.2005, will be allowed an increment on
1.1.2006 at the time of fixation of their pay in the revised
pay structure.
Even though Note 7 below Rule 7of RS [RP] Rules, 2008,
specifically states that the provisions contained therein shall
be applicable in cases where pay fixation is done under Sub
Rule [1] of Rule 7, it is clarified that the provisions of this
Note shall also be applicable in the situations arising due to
pay fixation of the junior employee under proviso to Rule 10
of RS [RP] Rules, 2008 .

This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

continue to be based on worth of charge.
3.
On placement in Pay Band-1, Grade Pay 2400, the pay will be fixed as
per Rule 13 of RS[RP] Rules, 2008 with the benefit of one increment @ 3% of basic

be filled up on the basis of scrutiny of service records and confidential reports.
4.1
Normal vacancies in the higher grade [Grade Pay

of effect of these orders, if they are otherwise entitled to the said benefit.
While implementing the restructuring orders, instructions regarding
minimum period of service for promotion issued from time to time should be
followed.

6.

The existing instructions with regard to reservation of SC/ST wherever


applicable will continue to apply.
7. Extant instructions for D&A Vigilance clearance will be applicable for effecting
promotions under these orders with reference to date of effect of these orders.
8.
Such of the Staff as had refused promotion before issue of these orders and
stand debarred for promotion may be considered for promotion, in relaxation of
the extant Provisions as a one time exception, if they indicate in writing that they
are willing to be considered for such promotion against the vacancies existing
on date of effect of these orders and arising due to restructuring on the date of
effect of these orders. This relaxation will not be applicable to vacancies arising
after the date of effect of these orders.
9. Entire scheme of restructuring is to be a self-financing and expenditure neutral
proposition. For calculation of the financial implications, the revised basic pay
[including the Grade Pay] corresponding to the midpoint of the pre-revised pay
scales in respect of each post as listed in the fitment table circulated vide
Railway Boards letter No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 12.9.2008, should be
taken, along with the Dearness Allowance as applicable on date of effect of
these orders.
9.1 Before restructuring the cadre of Assistant Loco Pilot as per the revised
percentage distribution of posts, matching savings will have to be
ensured by the Railway. Board desire that the General Managers should
ensure that the restructuring is implemented expeditiously with matching saving
without any exception and difficulty. There would be no restructuring without
matching savings by surrender of posts by the concerned Railway.

This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of this Ministry.

amendments on the subject, incorporating the provisions of earlier orders with suitable modifications,
wherever necessary.

101

2. Application
2.1 These orders will apply to all Central Government employees, who are regularly appointed on
deputation/foreign service in accordance with Recruitment Rules of the ex-cadre posts, under the
same or some other Departments of Central Government or under the State Governments/ Union
Territories Administration/ Local Bodies or under Central/ State PSUs/Autonomous Bodies etc. set up
or controlled by Central/State Governments provided the foreign service under such
PSUs/autonomous bodies has been permitted in relaxation of appointment on immediate absorption
basis. These orders will also cover the cases of regular appointment on deputation/foreign service of
employees of State Government/local bodies etc. as well as PSUs/Autonomous Bodies of Central/
State Governments as per recruitment rules in the Central Government.
2.2 However, the following cases shall not be covered under these orders for whom separate orders
exist:
(a) Members of the All India Services and those deputed to posts, whose terms are regulated under
specific statutory rules or orders;
(b) Officers appointed on deputation to posts under the Central Staffing Scheme (CSS) for whom
separate orders as issued from time to time will continue to apply;
(c) Deputation to posts operated outside India;
(d) Appointments of a specific category of employees to a specified class of posts, such as
appointments made in the Personal Staff of Ministers etc., in respect of which special orders are
already in existence. However, the terms and conditions set out in this O.M. will apply to those cases
to the extent these are not specifically covered under such special orders.
(e) Appointments of the nature of deemed deputation or transfers to ex-cadre posts made in
exigencies of service with the specific condition that no deputation (duty) allowance will be admissible
e.g. (i) interim arrangements in the event of conversion of a Government office/organisation or a
portion thereof into a PSU/ autonomous body or vice-versa; and (ii) appointments to the same post in
another cadre.
3. Scope of Term deputation/ foreign service Restrictions on treating an appointment as on
deputation/ foreign service.
3.1 The terms deputation/foreign service will cover only those appointments that are made by transfer
on a temporary basis provided the transfer is outside the normal field of deployment and is in public
interest. The question whether the transfer is outside the normal field of deployment or not will be
decided by the authority which controls the service or post from which the employee is transferred.
3.2 The following types of appointments will not be treated as deputation/foreign service for the
purposes of these orders:
(a) appointment of serving employees made either by promotion or by direct recruitment from amongst
open market candidates whether on permanent or temporary basis.
(b) permanent appointment made by transfer.
(c)Temporary appointment made on the basis of personal requests of employees.
(d) Arrangements necessitated by staff imbalances arising on re-organisation of offices on the same or
different stations, subject to the specific condition that no deputation (duty) allowance will be
admissible in such cases.
3.3
A person in a higher Grade Pay/scale of pay shall not be appointed on deputation to a post in
lower Grade Pay/scale of pay if the deputation is from Central Government to Central Government and
also in cases where the scale of pay and dearness allowance in the parent cadre post and ex-cadre
post are similar.

102

3.4
However, no appointment on deputation/foreign service shall be made from/to Central
Government/ an organisation where the pay scale and DA in the parent cadre post and ex-cadre post
are dissimilar, if the basic pay in the parent cadre increased by one increment plus dearness
allowance(s) including interim relief if any, admissible to a person in the parent cadre post exceeds the
basic pay plus dearness allowance (s) including interim relief, if any, at the maximum of the pay scale
of the ex-cadre post. In the revised pay structure, the maximum of the scale would mean the sum of
the Grade Pay of the ex-cadre post and maximum of the Pay Band PB 4 i.e. 67000. For example, if
the ex-cadre post is in the Grade Pay of
4200, then the maximum would be 71200 i.e.
4200
plus 67000 (maximum of PB 4).
4.

Exercise of option

4.1 An employee appointed on deputation/foreign service, may elect to draw either the pay in the
scale of pay of deputation/foreign service post or his/her basic pay in the parent cadre plus deputation
(duty) allowance thereon plus personal pay, if any. However, in case of Government employees on
deputation/ foreign service to CPSEs, this option will not be allowed and their pay will be governed in
terms of the orders issued by Department of Public Enterprises vide OM dated 26.11.2008 and
clarifications issued thereafter.
4.2 The borrowing authority shall obtain the option of the employee within one month from the date
of joining the ex-cadre post unless the employee has himself furnished the option.
4.3

The option once exercised shall be final.

4.4
However, the employee may revise the option under the following circumstances which will be
effective from the date of occurrence of the same:
(a)
When he/she receives proforma promotion or is appointed to non-functional selection grade or
up-gradation of scale in the parent cadre;
(b) When he/she is reverted to a lower grade in the parent cadre;
(c) When the scale of pay of the parent post on the basis of which his emoluments are regulated
during deputation/foreign service or of the ex-cadre post held by the employee on deputation/foreign
service is revised either prospectively or from a retrospective date.
(d) Based on the revised/same option of the employee, in the event of proforma
promotion/appointment to non-functional Selection Grade/revision/upgradation of scales of pay in the
parent cadre, his/her pay will be re-fixed with reference to the revised entitlement of pay in the parent
cadre. However, if the initial option was for the pay scale of the deputation post and no change in
option already exercised is envisaged, the pay already drawn in deputation post will be protected if the
pay re-fixed is less.
Note: Revision in the rates of DA, HRA or any other allowance either in the parent or borrowing
organisation shall not be an occasion for revision of the earlier option.
4.5. If the pay of an employee in his cadre post undergoes downward revision, the pay in the ex-cadre
post is also liable to be re-fixed on the basis of revised pay and in accordance with the revised option
or existing option if the employee does not revise his option.
5. Pay fixation
5.1 When an employee on deputation/Foreign Service elects to draw pay in the scale of pay attached
to the ex-cadre post, his/ her pay may be fixed as under:
(i) Deputation from Central Government to Central Government
If the scale of pay/Grade Pay of the ex-cadre post is higher, the pay may be fixed after adding one
increment to the existing pay in the Pay Band of the parent cadre post. The grade pay corresponding

103

to the ex-cadre post would thereafter be granted in addition to this pay in the pay band. However, in
cases where the fixation of pay in the ex-cadre post involves change of Pay Band also, if the pay in
the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the pay band corresponding to
the grade pay of the ex-cadre post, the pay in the pay band will be fixed at the minimum of the Pay
Band.
In case the Grade Pay/scale of employees cadre post and the ex-cadre post are identical, the
employee would continue to draw his/her existing basic pay.
In case the Grade pay of the ex-cadre post is upto 10000, the Basic Pay, from time to time after pay
fixation should not exceed the maximum of the pay band PB-4( .67000) plus the grade pay of the
post held on deputation. In case the ex-cadre post is in the HAG or HAG+ pay scale, the Basic Pay,
from time to time after pay fixation should not exceed 79000 or 80000 respectively.
(ii) In foreign service/ Reverse Foreign Service
(a) when the pay scale of the post in the parent cadre and that attached to ex-cadre post are based on
the same index level and the DA pattern is also same, the pay may be fixed as under (i) above.
(b) If the appointment is made to a post whose pay structure and/ or DA pattern is dissimilar to that in
the parent organisation, pay may be fixed by adding one increment to the pay in the parent cadre post
in the scale of his regular parent post ( 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 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 of the ex-cadre post at which total emoluments admissible in the ex-cadre
post as above equal the emoluments drawn in the cadre.
5.2 In cases of appointment from one ex-cadre post to another ex-cadre post where the employee
opts to draw pay in the scale of the ex-cadre post, the pay in the second or subsequent ex-cadre post
should be fixed under the normal rules with reference to the pay in the cadre post only. However, in
respect of appointments to ex-cadre posts carrying Grade Pay 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 In cases of appointments to a second or subsequent ex-cadre post(s) in a higher pay scale/grade
pay 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
scales of pay/Grade Pay attached to the ex-cadre posts.
Note-1: The term parent post and basic pay means the post held on regular basis in the parent
organisation and pay drawn/ admissible in such a post respectively.
Note-2: An officer who may be holding a higher post on adhoc basis in the cadre at the time of
proceeding on deputation/ foreign service would be considered to have vacated the post held on
adhoc basis and proceeded on deputation/ foreign service from his/her regular post. During the period
of deputation/ foreign service, he/she shall earn notional increments in the parent cadre post. On
reversion, if he/she is re-appointed to the higher post on regular or adhoc basis his pay will get fixed
with reference to the pay admissible in the lower post on the date of such re-appointment. In such
cases, if his pay gets fixed at a stage lower than that of his junior(s) who continued to serve in the
cadre, no stepping up will be admissible as per extant rules in so far as Central Government
employees are concerned. However, if the pay so fixed is less than the pay drawn earlier while holding
the post on ad-hoc basis the pay earlier drawn will be protected. Therefore, those Central Government
employees who are already holding a higher post on ad-hoc basis or expecting it shortly in the parent
cadre may weigh all relevant considerations before opting for deputation/foreign service. This note of
caution will be applicable to employees of other organisations wishing to apply for posts on deputation
in Central Government, if governed by similar rules in parent organisation.

104

Note-3: Pay of an officer appointed on deputation/foreign service on adhoc basis pending selection of
a regular incumbent may also be regulated in accordance with provisions of Para 5.1 & 6.1 of this
O.M.
Note-4: The provisions of this Para as well as Para 6 will not apply to appointments on Personal Staff
of Ministers. Such appointments will be regulated by separate specific orders issued by the
Government in that behalf.
6. Deputation (duty) Allowance
6.1 The deputation (duty) allowance admissible shall be at the following rates:
(a) In case of deputation within the same station, the allowance will be paid at the rate of 5% of basic
pay subject to a maximum of 2000 p.m.; and
(b) In other cases, Deputation (Duty) Allowance will be payable at the rate of 10% of the employees
basic pay subject to a maximum of 4000/- p.m.
(c) The deputation (duty) allowance as above shall further be restricted as under:
Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall not exceed the maximum of the
pay band PB-4 ( 67000) plus the grade pay of the post held on deputation in case the Grade Pay of
the post held on deputation is upto
10000. In case the post held on deputation is in the HAG or
HAG+ pay scales, the Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance should not
exceed 79000 and 80000 respectively.
Note: Basic Pay in the revised pay structure means the pay drawn in the prescribed pay band plus the
applicable grade pay but does not include any other type of pay like special pay/allowance etc.
The rates of deputation (duty) allowance as above shall take effect from 1.9.2008.
Note: 1 The term same station for the purpose will be determined with reference to the station where
the person was on duty before proceeding on deputation.
Note: 2 Where there is no change in the headquarters with reference to the last post held, the
transfer should be treated as within the same station and when there is change in headquarters it
would be treated as not in the same station. So far as places falling within the same urban
agglomeration of the old headquarters are concerned, they would be treated as transfer within the
same station.
6.2 Special rates of deputation (duty) allowance may be admissible under separate orders in any
particular area on account of the condition of living there being particularly arduous or unattractive.
Where special rate is more favourable than that given in Para 6.1 above, employees deputed to the
area will be given the benefit of the special rate.
6.3.1 If an employee with the permission of the competent authority, proceeds on deputation/foreign
service from one ex-cadre post to another ex-cadre post in the same or another organisation without
reverting to his parent cadre, and if the second ex-cadre post is at the same station as the first one,
the rate of deputation (duty) allowance would remain unchanged.
6.3.2 In cases where a person on deputation/foreign service is transferred by the borrowing authority
from one station to another without any change in the post held by him, the rate of deputation (duty)
allowance will be refixed as per 6.1 (b).
7. Admissibility of pay, allowances & benefits while on deputation/foreign service
7.1 Any project allowance admissible in a project area in the borrowing organisation may be drawn in
addition to deputation (duty) allowance.

105

7.2 Any special allowance granted to an employee in the parent Department under FR 9(25) or a
corresponding. rule of parent organisation should not be allowed in addition to deputation (duty)
allowance. However, the borrowing department may allow in addition to deputation (duty) allowance,
under special circumstances, any special allowance attached to the post held by the employee in
his/her parent Department, by suitably restricting the deputation (duty) allowance. This will require the
specific and prior approval of Department of Personnel & Training.
7.3 In case special allowance is attached to the scale of pay of the ex-cadre post and the employee
has opted to draw pay in that scale, then, in addition to the pay in that scale, he will also be entitled to
draw such special allowance. However, such special allowance will not be admissible if he has opted
to draw pay in the parent cadre scale/grade pay plus deputation (duty) allowance.
7.4 Personal pay, if any, drawn by an employee in his parent department will continue to be admissible
on deputation/foreign service if he/she opts to draw pay in the parent cadre scale/grade pay plus
deputation (duty) allowance. No deputation (duty) allowance on this personal pay will however, be
admissible.
7.5 Increments The employee will draw increment in the parent cadre grade or in the scale of pay
/grade pay attached to the deputation post as the case may be, depending on whether he has opted
for the parent cadre pay plus deputation (duty) allowance or the pay scale /grade pay of the deputation
post. If he has opted for pay scale/grade pay of the deputation post, notional increments shall also
continue to accrue to him in the post held on regular basis in the parent cadre/ organisation for the
purpose of regulation of pay on repatriation to the parent post at the end of the tenure.
7.6 Admissibility of allowances and benefits while on deputation/ foreign service.
(a) Such allowances as are not admissible to regular employees of corresponding status in the
borrowing organisation shall not be admissible to the officer on deputation/foreign service, even if they
were admissible in the parent organisation.

organisation:
(i) HRA/Transport Allowance
(ii) Joining time and Joining Time Pay.
(iii) Travelling Allowances and Transfer T.A.
(iv) Children Education Allowance.
(v) LTC.
(c) Following allowances/facilities will be regulated in accordance with the rules as explained against
each:
(i) Dearness Allowance The employee shall be entitled to dearness allowance at the rates prevailing
in the borrowing organisation or in the lending organisation depending on whether he has opted to
draw pay in the pay scale/grade pay of the ex-cadre post or the parent grade plus deputation (duty)
allowance.
(ii) Medical Facilities This will be regulated in accordance with the rules of the borrowing
organisation.
(iii) Leave An officer on deputation/foreign service shall be regulated by the Leave Rules of the
parent organisation. If however an employee proceeds from vacation department to non-vacation

time of reversion from the deputation post to the parent cadre, the borrowing organisation may allow
him/her leave not exceeding two months. The employee should apply for further leave to his Cadre
Controlling Authority.
7.7 Leave salary/Pension/NPS Contribution.
(i) As at present, allocation of leave salary and pension contribution between different
Ministries/Departments of Central Government and between Central and State Government has been
dispensed with. In such cases of deputation from Central Government to State Government and vice-

Letter No.P(R)605/XI

Dt. 7-1-2008

Sub: Refusal of promotion in non-selection posts Reserving a vacancy for


the employee.

In terms of Para 224 of IREM Vol.I,1989 Edition, the employee refusing promotion expressly
or otherwise( i.e., he does not give in writing his refusal but also does not join the post for which he
has been kept on select list) should be debarred for future promotion for one year but not be
transferred away from that station for one year if unavoidable domestic reasons exists. He should
again be debarred for promotion for one year in case he refuses promotion again after the first year of
debarment or refusal of promotion for second time, the Administration can however, transfer him to
outstation in the same grade and the employee has again to appear for a suitability test when his turn
for promotion comes.
He will rank junior to all promoted during the period he was allowed to refuse promotion
irrespective of his relative seniority. He will not however, lose seniority to another employee promoted
to the same category during the one year period of penalty as a result of fresh suitability test
subsequently held.
Further, it was also advised under this office letter No.P(R)535/VI dated
29-8-2006, that
in all promotion orders, it should be clearly indicated that if the employee does not carry out
promotion/transfer order within 2 weeks / evades by taking leave, it will be deemed to be a refusal and
will be dealt accordingly.
Doubts have been raised by one of the Division as to whether a vacancy for the employee
who has refused promotion (non-selection post) is to be reserved for a period of one year or
otherwise, in case assessment is made for formation of another select list immediately after a period of
six months from the date of formation of the previous select list.
The issue has been examined in detail. As per the extant instructions Non-selection posts are
filled by promotion of the senior most suitable railway servants from the select lists published. If any
employee refuses promotion on transfer, he should be debarred for future promotion for a period of
one year. Having regard to this, it is decided that if any employee refuses promotion on transfer, a
vacancy may be reserved in such a case till the completion of the period of debarment . While
assessing vacancies for forming the next select list, the number of posts in the previous select list
which were unfilled due to refusal should be excluded from the assessment.
It is also clarified that if any employee refuses promotion/transfer order, the date of refusal in
such cases may be taken from the date of refusal given by the employee or 15 days from the date of
issue of promotion/transfer orders, whichever is earlier.
This issues with the approval of CPO.

Dt. 12-5-2008.

Sub: Promotion of employees placed in the panel Treatment of SC/ST


candidates selected on their own merit vis-a-vis their juniors
promoted/placed against reserved points.

In terms of para 219(i) of IREM the names of selected candidates should be arranged in the
panel in the order of seniority but those securing a total of 80% or more marks will be classed as
outstanding and placed in the panel appropriately in order of their seniority allowing them to supersede
not more than 50% of total field of eligibility.
Para 219(j) & Para 219(j)(iv) of IREM envisage that for general posts i.e., those outside the
normal channel of promotion for which candidates are called from different categories whether in the
same department or from different department, the final panel should be drawn up in order of seniority
from amongst those who secure a minimum of 60% in the professional ability and 60% marks in the
aggregate, provided that those securing a total of 80% or more marks will be classed as outstanding
and placed at the top en-bloc of the panel in order of seniority.
Doubts have been raised by some of the Divisions/Units as to how the promotions of the
employees placed in the panel are to be made

119

1.
Whether promotions should be ordered in the order of seniority or as per the Roster
points strictly as per the post based roster, and
2.
The status of senior reserved community candidates who have found place in the
panel as per own merit as UR candidates vis--vis their junior reserved community candidates
booked against reserved points.
3.
Whether the instructions contained in S.C.No.152/2002 and 116/2003 supersede the
entire instructions contained in 195/99 in regard to determination of status of SCs/STs who get
promoted in selection posts on their own merit.
In this context, it is clarified that
1.

Once the panel is finalized, the promotions against Unreserved as well as Reserved points
of the roster have to be made in the order of seniority notwithstanding the fact that there is a
backlog against the particular reserved community in the roster.

2.

The senior reserved community candidates who have found place in the panel as per own
merit as UR candidates do not lose their status of belonging to the reserved category and
should be promoted against the reserved vacancy with a remark on own merit in the
appropriate column of the roster against their name. Later on, as and when junior reserved
community employee is promoted against unreserved vacancy, Point utilized by SC/ST as
the case may be is to be indicated against his name in the appropriate column of the roster.

3.

The clarification given in S.C.No.152/2002 & 116/2003 is applicable to such of the SC/ST
candidates who are selected by applying the general standard and whose names in the panel
appear within the number of unreserved vacancies and adjusted against UR points and not to
other SC/ST employees who have qualified on their own merit and are not within the seniority
of unreserved vacancies.
In order to achieve the percentage of reservation of reserved community candidates, the post
based rosters are introduced. The order of points in the post based roster is not to be
construed as order of seniority of the employees. Once the promotions of all employees in the
panel are ordered, the points in the post based roster book may be adjusted in a suitable
manner with proper remark own merit/point utilized by SC/ST as the case may be in the
appropriate column of the post based roster. At no point of time the senior reserved
community employee in the panel should be overlooked while ordering the promotions.
This issues with the approval of CPO.

Sub: Recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission Modified
Assured Career Progression Scheme [MACPS] for Railway
employees.
****
The Sixth Central Pay Commission in Para 6.1.15 of its report, has recommended Modified
Assured Career Progression Scheme [MACPS]. As per the recommendations, financial upgradation
will be available in the next higher Grade Pay whenever an employee has completed 12 years
continuous service in the same grade. However, not more than two financial upgradations shall be
given in the entire career, as was provided in the previous Scheme. The Scheme will also be
available to all posts belonging to Group A whether isolated or not. However, organized Group A
services will not be covered under the Scheme.

122

2.
The Government has considered the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission
for introduction of a MACPS and has accepted the same with further modification to grant three
financial upgradations under the MACPS at intervals of 10, 20 and 30 years of continuous regular
service.
3.
The Scheme would be known as MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION
SCHEME [MACPS] FOR RAILWAY EMPLOYEES. This scheme is in supersession of previous ACP
Scheme and clarifications issued there under and shall be applicable to all regularly appointed Group
A, B, and C Railway employees except officers of the Organised Group A service. The status of
Group D employees would cease on their completion of prescribed training as recommended by the
Sixth Central Pay Commission and would be treated as Group C employees. Casual employees,
including those granted temporary status and employees appointed in the Railways only on adhoc or
contract basis shall not qualify for benefits under the aforesaid Scheme. The details of the MACP
Scheme and conditions for grant of the financial upgradation under the Scheme are given in
Annexure.
4.
A Screening Committee shall be constituted in each Department to consider the case for grant
of financial upgradations under the MACP Scheme. The Screening Committee shall consist of a
Chairperson and two members. The members of the Committee shall comprise officers holding
posts which are at least one level above the grade in which the MACP is to be considered and not
below Senior Scale grade [PB-3, GP Rs.6600]. The Chairperson should be a grade above the
members of the Committee.
5.
The recommendations of the Screening Committee shall be placed before the Secretary in
cases where the Committee is constituted in the Ministry / Department or before the Head of the
organisation / competent authority in other cases for approval.
6.
In order to prevent undue strain on the administrative machinery, the Screening Committee
shall follow a time-schedule and meet twice in a financial year preferably in the first week of
January and first week of July of a year for advance processing of the cases maturing in that half.
Accordingly, cases maturing during the first-half [April September] of a particular financial year shall
be taken up for consideration by the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of January.
Similarly, the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of July of any financial year shall process
the cases that would be maturing during the second-half [October March] of the same financial year.
7.
However, to make the MACP Scheme operational, the Cadre Controlling Authorities shall
constitute the first Screening Committee within a month from the date of issue of these instructions to
consider the cases maturing upto 30th June, 2009 for grant of benefits under the MACPS.
8.
The scheme would be operational with effect from 01.09.2008. In other words, financial
upgradations as per the provisions of the earlier ACP Scheme [ of October ,1999] would be granted till
31.08.2008.
9.
No stepping up of pay in the pay band or Grade Pay would be admissible with regard to junior
getting more pay than the senior on account of pay fixation under MACP Scheme.
11.
It is clarified that no past cases would be re-opened. Further, while implementing the MACP
Scheme, the differences in pay scales on account of grant of financial upgradation under the old ACP
Scheme [of October, 1999] and under the MACP Scheme within the same cadre shall not be
construed as an anomaly.
ANNEXURE-I
MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME [MACPS]
1.
There shall be three financial upgradations under the MACPS, counted from the direct entry grade on
completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of service respectively. Financial upgradation under the Scheme will be
admissible whenever a person has spent 10 years continuously in the same Grade-Pay.
2.
The MACPS envisages merely placement in the immediate next higher Grade Pay in the hierarchy of the
recommended revised Pay Bands and Grade Pay as given in Section-I, Part-A of the first schedule of the
Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008. Thus, the Grade Pay at the time of financial upgradation under the
MACPS can, in certain cases where regular promotion is not between two successive grades, be different than
what is available at the time of regular promotion. In such cases, the higher Grade Pay attached to the next
promotion post in the hierarchy of the concerned cadre / organization will be given only at the time of regular
promotion.
3.
The financial upgradations under the MACPS would be admissible up to the highest Grade Pay of
Rs.12000/- in the PB-4.

123

4.
Benefit of pay fixation available at the time of regular promotion shall also be allowed at the time of
financial upgradation under the Scheme. Therefore, the pay shall be raised by 3% of the total pay in the Pay
Band and the Grade Pay drawn before such upgradation. There shall, however, be no further fixation of pay at
the time of regular promotion if it is in the same Grade Pay as granted under MACPS. However, at the time of
actual promotion if it happens to be in a post carrying higher Grade Pay than what is available under MACPS, no
pay fixation would be available and only difference of Grade Pay would be made available. To illustrate, in case
a Railway Servant joins as a direct recruit in the Grade Pay of Rs.1900 in PB-1 and he gets no promotion
till completion of 10 years of service, he will be granted financial upgradation under MACPS in the next
higher Grade Pay of Rs.2000 and his pay will be fixed by granting him one increment plus the difference
of Grade Pay [i.e., Rs.100 ]. After availing financial upgradation under MACPS, if the Railway servant gets
his regular promotion in the hierarchy of his cadre, which is to the grade of Rs.2400, on regular
promotion, he will only be granted the difference of Grade Pay between Rs.2000 and Rs.2400. No
additional increment will be granted at this stage.
5.
Promotions earned /upgradations granted under the ACP Scheme in the past to those grades which now
carry the same Grade Pay due to merger of pay scales / upgradations of posts recommended by the Sixth Pay
Commission shall be ignored for the purpose of granting upgradations under Modified ACPS.
Illustration
The pre-revised hierarchy [ in ascending order ] in a particular organization was as follows:
Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 & Rs.6500-10500.
[a]
A Railway servant who was recruited in the hierarchy in the pre-revised pay scale Rs.5000-8000 and
who did not get a promotion even after 25 years of service prior to 1.1.2006, in his case as on 1.1.2006 he would
have got two financial upgradations under ACP to the next grades in the hierarchy of his organisation, i.e., to the
pre-revised scales of 5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500.
[b]
Another Railway servant recruited in the same hierarchy in the pre-revised scale of Rs.5000-8000 has
also completed about 25 years of service, but he got two promotions to the next higher grades of Rs.5500-9000
and Rs.6500-10500 during this period.
In the case of both [a] and [b] above, the promotions/financial upgradations granted under ACP to the
pre-revised scales of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 prior to 1.1.2006 will be ignored on account of merger of
the pre-revised scales of Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 & Rs.6500-10500 recommended by the Sixth CPC. As
per Railway Services [RP] Rules, both of them will be granted Grade Pay of Rs.4200 in the Pay Band PB-2. After
the implementation of MACPS, two financial upgradations will be granted both in the case of [a] and [b] above to
the next higher Grade Pays of Rs.4600 and Rs.4800 in the Pay Band PB-2.
6.
In the case of all the employees granted financial upgradations under ACPS till 01.01.2006, their revised
pay will be fixed with reference to the pay scale granted to them under the ACPS.
6.1
In the case of ACP upgradations granted between 01.01.2006 and 31.08.2008, the Railway servant has
the option under the Railway Services [RP] Rules, 2008 to have his pay fixed in the revised pay structure either
[a] w.e.f. 0101.2006 with reference to his re-revised scale as on 01.01.2006; or [b] w.e.f. the date of his financial
upgradation under ACP with reference to the pre-revised scale granted under ACP. In case of option [b], he shall
be entitled to draw his arrears of pay only from the date of his option i.e. the date of financial upgradation under
ACP.
6.2
In cases where financial upgradation had been granted to Railway servants in the next higher scale in
the hierarchy of their cadre as per the provisions of the ACP Scheme of October,1999 but whereas as a result of
the implementation of Sixth CPCs recommendations, the next higher post in the hierarchy of the cadre has been
upgraded by granting a higher Grade Pay, the pay of such employees in the revised pay structure will be fixed
with reference to the higher Grade Pay granted to the post. To illustrate, in the case of Jr. Engineer in CPWD,
who was granted 1st ACP in his hierarchy to the grade of Asst. Engineer in the pre-revised scale of
Rs.6500-10500 corresponding to the revised Grade Pay of Rs.4200 in the Pay Band PB-2, he will now be
granted Grade Pay of Rs.4600 in the Pay Band PB-2 consequent upon upgradation of the post of Asstt.
Enggs. in CPWD by granting them the Grade Pay of Rs.4600 in PB-2 as a result of Sixth CPCs
recommendations.
However, from the date of implementation of the MACPS, all the financial
upgradations under the Scheme should be done strictly in accordance with the hierarchy of Grade Pays
in Pay Bands as notified vide Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008.
7.
With regard to fixation of his pay on grant of promotion / financial upgradation under MACP Scheme, a
Railway servant has an option under Rule 1313 [1] [a][i] of the Indian Railway Establishment Code Vol.II, [Sixth
Edition, 1987- Second Re-print -2005] {FR22[1] [a] [i]} to get his fixed in the higher post / Grade Pay either from
the date of his promotion /upgradation or from the date of next increment viz., 1 st July of the year. The pay and
the date of increment would be fixed in accordance with clarification no.2 of Railway Boards letter No. PC-VI /
2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 25.09.2008 [PC-VI/22, RBE No. 132/2008].

124

8.
Promotions earned in the post carrying same Grade Pay in the promotional hierarchy as per Recruitment
Rules shall be counted for the purpose of MACPS.
8.1.
Consequent upon the implementation of Sixth CPCs recommendation, Grade Pay of Rs.5400 is now in
two pay bands viz., PB-2 and PB-3. The Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 and Rs.5400 in PB-3 shall be treated as
separate Grade Pays for the purpose of grant of upgradations under MACPS.
9.
Regular Service for the purpose of the MACPS shall commence from the date of joining of a post in
direct entry grade on a regular basis either on direct recruitment basis or on absorption /re-employment basis.
Service rendered on adhoc /contract basis before regular appointment on pre-appointment training shall not be
taken into reckoning. However, past continuous regular service in another Government/ Department in a post
carrying same Grade Pay prior to regular appointment in a new Department, without a break, shall also be
counted towards qualifying regular service for the purposes of MACPS only [and not for the regular promotions].
However, benefits under the MACPS in such cases shall not be considered till the satisfactory completion of the
probation period in the new post.
10.
Past service rendered by a Railway employee in a State Government /statutory body / Autonomous body
/ Public Sector organization, before appointment in the Railways shall not be counted towards Regular Service.
11.
Regular service shall include all periods spent on deputation /foreign service, study leave and all other
kinds of leave, duly sanctioned by the competent authority.
12.
The MACPS shall also be applicable to work charged posts, if their service conditions are comparable
with the staff of regular establishment.
13.
Existing time-bound promotion scheme, including in-situ promotion scheme, /Staff Car Driver Scheme or
any other kind of promotion scheme existing for a particular category of employees in the Railways, may continue
to be operational for the concerned category of employees if it is decided by the concerned administrative
authorities to retain such Schemes, after necessary consultations or they may switch-over to the MACPS.
However, these Schemes shall not run concurrently with the MACPS.
14.
The MACPS is directly applicable only to Railway employees. It will not get automatically extended to
employees of l Autonomous / Statutory Bodies under the administrative control of Ministry of Railways. Keeping
in view the financial implications involved, a conscious decision in this regard shall have to be taken by the
Governing Body /Board of Directors and Ministry of Railways and where it is proposed to adopt the MACPS,
prior concurrence of Ministry of Finance shall be obtained.
15.
If a financial upgradation under the MACPS is deferred and not allowed after 10 years in a Grade Pay,
due to the reason of the employees being unfit or due to departmental proceedings, etc., this would have
consequential effect on the subsequent financial upgradation which would also get deferred to the extent of delay
in grant of first financial upgradation.
16.
On grant of financial upgradation under the Scheme, there shall be no change in the designation,
classification or higher status. However, financial and certain other benefits which are linked to the pay drawn by
an employee such as HBA, allotment of Government accommodation shall be permitted.
17.
The financial upgradation would be on non-functional basis subject to fitness, in the hierarchy of Grade
Pay within the PB-1. Thereafter for upgradation under the MACPS the benchmark of good would be applicable
till the grade of pay of Rs.6600/- in PB-3. The benchmark will be Very Good for financial upgradation to the
Grade Pay of Rs.7600 and above.
18.
In the matter of disciplinary /penalty proceedings, grant of benefit under the MACPS shall be subject to
rules governing normal promotion. Such cases shall, therefore, be regulated under the provisions of the Railway
Servants [Discipline and Appeal ] Rules, 1968 and instructions issued thereunder.
19.
The MACPS contemplates merely placement on personal basis in the immediate higher Grade Pay
/grant of financial benefits only and shall not amount to actual/ functional promotion of the employees concerned.
Therefore, no reservation orders/rosters shall apply to the MACPS, which shall extend its benefits uniformly to all
eligible SC/ST employees also. However, the rules of reservation in promotion shall be ensured at the time of
regular promotion. For this reason, it shall not be mandatory to associate members of SC/ST in the Screening
Committee meant to consider cases for grant of financial upgradation under the Scheme.
20.
Financial upgradation under the MACPS shall be purely personal to the employee and shall have no
relevance to his seniority position. As such, there shall be no additional financial upgradation for the senior
employees on the ground that the junior employee in the grade has got higher pay/Grade Pay under MACPS.
21.
Pay drawn in the Pay Band and the Grade Pay allowed under the MACPS shall be taken as the basis for
determining the terminal benefits in respect of the retiring employee.

125

22.
If the Group A Railway employee, who was not covered under the ACP Scheme has now become
entitled to say third financial upgradation directly, having completed 30 years regular service, his pay shall be
fixed successively in next three immediate higher Grade Pays in the hierarchy of revised pay bands and Grade
Pays allowing the benefit of 3% pay fixation at every stage. Pay of persons becoming eligible for second
financial upgradation may also be fixed accordingly.
23.
In case an employee is declared surplus in his /her organization and appointed in the same pay-scale or
lower scale of pay in the new organization, the regular service rendered by him / her in the previous organization
shall be counted towards the regular service in his /her new organization for the purpose of giving financial
upgradation under the MACPS.
24.
In case of an employee after getting promotion /ACP seeks unilateral transfer on a lower post or lower
scale, he will be entitled only for second and third financial upgradations on completion of 20/30 years of regular
service under the MACPS, as the case may be, from the date of his initial appointment to the post in the new
organization.
25.
If a regular promotion has been offered but was refused by the employee before becoming entitled to a
financial upgradation, no financial upgradation shall be allowed as such an employee has not been stagnated due
to lack of opportunities. If, however, financial upgradation has been allowed due to stagnation and the employee
subsequently refuse the promotion, it shall not be a ground to withdraw the financial upgradation. He shall,
however, not be eligible to be considered for further financial upgradation till he agrees to be considered for
promotion again and the second or the next financial upgradation shall also be deferred to the extent of period of
debarment due to the refusal.
26.
Cases of persons holding higher posts purely on adhoc basis shall also be considered by the Screening
Committee along with others. They may be allowed the benefit of financial upgradation on reversion to the lower
post or if it is beneficial vis--vis the pay drawn on adhoc basis.
27.
Employees on deputation need not revert to the parent Department for availing the benefit of financial
upgradation under the MACPS. They may exercise a fresh option to draw the pay in the Pay Band and the Grade
Pay of the post held by them or the pay plus Grade Pay admissible to them under the MACPS, whichever is
beneficial.

Illustrations:
[i]
If a Government servant [LDC] in PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.1900 gets his first regular
promotion [UDC] in the PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.2400 on completion of 8 years of service
and then continues in the same Grade Pay for further 10 years without any promotion then he
would be eligible for 2nd financial upgradation under the MACPS in the PB-1 in the Grade Pay
of Rs.2800 after completion of 18 years [8+10 years].
[ii]
In case he does not get any promotion thereafter, then he would get 3rd financial upgradation in
the PB-II in Grade Pay of Rs.4200 on completion of further 10 years of service i.e. 28 years
[8+10+10]
[iii]
However, if he gets 2nd promotion after 5 years of further service in the pay PB-II in the Grade
Pay of Rs.4200 [Asst. Grade/GradeC] i.e. on completion of 23 years [8+10+5 years] then he
would get 3rd financial upgradation after completion of 30 years of 30 years i.e. 10 years after
the 2nd ACP in the PB-II in the Grade Pay of Rs.4600.
In the above scenario, the pay shall be raised by 3% of the total pay in the Pay Band and
Grade Pay drawn before such upgradation. There shall, however, be no further fixation of pay
at the time of regular promotion if it is in the same Grade Pay or in the higher Grade Pay. Only
the difference of Grade Pay would be admissible at the time of promotions.

B. If a Railway servant [LDC] in PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.1900 is granted 1 st financial upgradation under
the MACPS on completion of 10 years of service in the PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.2000 and 5 years
later he gets 1st regular promotion [UDC] in PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.2400, and the 2 nd financial
upgradation under MACPS [ in the next Grade Pay w.r.t. Grade Pay held by Railway servant] will be
granted on completion 20 years of service in PB-1 in the Grade Pay of Rs.2800. On completion of 30
years of service, he will get 3rd ACP in the Grade Pay of Rs. 4200. However, if two promotions are
earned before completion of 20 years, only 3 rd financial upgradation would be admissible on completion
of 10 years of service in Grade Pay from the date of second promotion or at the 30 th year of service ,
whichever is earlier.

C. If a Railway servant has been granted either two regular promotions or 2 nd financial upgradation under
the ACP Scheme of October 1999 after completion of 24 years of regular service then only 3 rd financial
upgradation would be admissible to him under the MACPS on completion of 30 years of service provided
that he has not earned third promotion in the hierarchy.

Revised classification and mode of filling up of non-gazetted
posts.
***
Reference this Ministrys letters of even number dt. 23.09.2008 and 24.04.2009, on the above
subject.
2.
The matter has since been considered by the Board. The views of organized labour have also
been taken into account. Since the issue of laying down revised classification and mode of filling up
may take further time, therefore, it has been decided that as a one time exemption promotion to all
vacancies as existed on 31.08.2009, may be made as indicated in the enclosed statement. The
following methodology may be adopted for effecting the promotions in question:
[a]
Posts carrying the grade pay Rs.4200, proposed to be filled up by Seniority-cum-suitability or
with Suitability with prescribed benchmark, as indicated in the statement, may be filled up with
benchmark of 6 marks out of 15 marks in last three years ACRs, duly considering the existing
instructions for promotions based on confidential reports.
[b]
Posts carrying the grade pay Rs.4600 & above, proposed to be filled up by Suitability with
prescribed benchmark, may be filled up with benchmark of 7 marks out of 15 marks in last three years

128

ACRs, duly considering the existing instructions for promotions based on confidential reports.
[c]
For [a] & [b] above, in case CRs for 2008-09 for all candidates in the zone of consideration,
are not available, ACRs upto year 2007-08, may be taken into account.
[d]

Extant instructions necessitating DAR/Vig. etc. clearance, shall continue to hold good.

[e]
Posts earmarked against Selection/General Selection /LDCE quota, wherever prescribed as
per enclosed statement, will be filled up as per existing procedure.
[f]
Existing eligibility conditions like passing of Trade Test, Aptitude test, possessing of requisite
foot-plate experience, passing of promotional course for being eligible for consideration for promotion
as pre-condition or for being deployed in promotional post, shall continue to hold good.
[g]
The residency period for promotion to higher posts including for promotion to merged grades
will be two years, unless a longer length has been prescribed in terms of existing instructions for
promotion to higher posts.
2.1.
In cases, where existing classification of Selection has been dispensed with, promotions,
may be made on the basis of Suitability with prescribed benchmark. All pre-promotional training
courses may continue as per existing procedure of passing pre-promotional course / training.
2.2.
Promotions to the posts carrying the Grade Pay below Rs.4200, shall continue to be made as
per existing procedure, since Railways/PUs have already been advised vide this Ministrys letter of
even number dt. 23.09.2008 and clarified vide letter dt. 24.04.2009 that, only the promotions within
and to merged grades, were not to be effected, while all other promotions were to be continued to be
made as per existing classification.
2.3.
For the purpose of filling up of direct recruitment and promotee quota vacancies in the grade
pay of Rs.4200 and 4600, the following shall be followed:
[i]
The posts in grade pay Rs.4200 in cadre of technical supervisors, shall be divided in the
existing percentage of 26% [Recruitment grade of Rs.5000-8000] and 24% [promotee grade Rs.55009000]. The senior most 24% staff and posts in grade pay Rs.4200, shall be kept in a separate block
and the remaining bottom most 26% posts of the total cadre of supervisors shall be filled up as per the
existing practice of filling up through Promotee, LDCE and DR quota.
[ii]
Similarly, to fill up the posts of Section Engineers in grade pay Rs.4600, the posts shall be
divided in the ratio 21:29. The senior most 21% staff and posts will be placed in a separate block and
remaining 29% posts of the total cadre of supervisors shall be filled up by promotees and direct
recruits as per the existing practice.
[iii]
Same principle will be followed to fill up all vacancies of grade pay Rs.4200 & 4600.
3.
The scheme for filling up vacancies, arising on or after 01.09.2009, will be issued in due
course in consultation with the federations.
3.1.
The vacancies existing should be filled up expeditiously.

Extension of Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) Scheme


upto Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) level in respect of officers
of the Indian Railway Medical Service.

129

****
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare vide their OM No.A.45012/2/2008-CHS.V dated
21.07.2009 have issued certain clarification on the above subject in consultation with the Department
of Expenditure.
2.
Pursuant to the above and in continuation to the Boards letter of even number dated
7.1.2009, it is clarified that it was not the intention to straightaway grant Senior Administrative Grade
(Grade Pay of Rs.10,000 in PB-4) to an individual on mere completion of 20 years of service even if he
was still a Medical Officer or Sr. Medical Officer. In fact, for being eligible for upgradation under DACP
Scheme, a doctor has to render minimum qualifying service in the immediate lower grade as
prescribed in the letter dated 7.1.09 ibid. Therefore, the question of direct promotion under DACP to
the Senior Administrative Grade from the grade Pays of Rs.5400, 6600 and 7600 in the Pay Band-3
does not arise.
3.
It has, therefore, been decided that at the time of initial implementation of the Scheme (i.e. as
on 07.01.2009, the date of issue of the said letter), depending on the length of Service rendered by a
Medical Doctor, he can be directly placed in the grade corresponding to his length of services
prescribed by the letter dated 7.1.2009 subject to the condition that such placement will be done only
upto NFSG Scale i.e. Grade Pay of Rs.8700/- in the Pay Band-4.
4.
To illustrate, at the time of initial implementation of DACP Scheme for doctors working in
isolated Post/Cadres the following methodology may be adopted:
(a)
A medical Doctor with less than 13 but more than 9 years of service whether in the
Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in the Pay Band-3, or in the Grade Pay of Rs.6600 in the Pay Band-3 can
be directly placed in the revised pay structure of Grade Pay of Rs.7600 in the Pay Band-3.
(b)
A Medical Doctor with more than 13 years of service whether in the Grade Pay of
Rs.5400 in the Pay Band-3, or in the Grade Pay of Rs.6600 in the Pay Band-3, or in the Grade
Pay of Rs.7600 in the Pay Band-3 can be directly placed in the NFSG Pay structure of Grade Pay
of Rs.8700 in the Pay Band-4.
(c)
A Doctor with more than 20 years of regular service and already regularly promoted as
CMO-NFSG (Grade Pay of Rs.8700 in the Pay Band-4) on the date of initial implementation of the
Scheme can be granted SAG pay structure of Grade Pay of Rs.10000 in the Pay Band-4 without
rendering full 7 years of service in the NFSG grade.
5.
Having been granted financial upgradation under DACP in above manner at the time of initial
implementation of the Scheme, thereafter, the Doctors would have to earn their next upgradation
under DACP Scheme as per the eligibility of service prescribed in the letter of even number, dated
07.01.2009.

The issue regarding extension of the scope of the MACP Scheme so as to count 50% of
temporary status casual labour service on absorption in regular employment for the purpose of grant
of benefit under the MACPS had been under consideration.
3.
The matter has been examined and it has been decided that 50% of temporary status casual
labour service on absorption in regular employment may be taken into account towards the minimum
service of 10, 20 and 30 years for the grant of benefit under the MACP Scheme on the analogy that

***
Reference is invited to the Boards letter of even number dated 10.06.2009 regarding the
Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS). Consequent upon the implementation of
Sixth Pay Commissions recommendations, the four pre-revised Group D pay scales viz., Rs.25503200, Rs.2610-3540, Rs.2610-4000 and Rs.2650-4000 have been upgraded and replaced by the
revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.1800/- in the pay band PB-1. As per the recommendations of
Sixth CPC, Railway servants in these four pre-revised Group D scales have been granted the Group
C revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.1800 in the pay band PB-1. It has been decided on the
analogy of para 5 of the Annexure to Boards letter dated 10.06.2009 ibid that promotions earned or
upgradations granted under ACP Scheme of 01.10.1999 in the past to the four pay scales mentioned
above, which now carry the grade pay of Rs.1800/- shall be ignored for the purpose of MACPS.
However promotions/financial upgradations earned by existing Group D employees to grade pay of
Rs.1900 /-(pre-revised scales of Rs.3050-75-3590-80-4590) shall be counted for the purpose of

The non functional up-gradation granted under these orders will be based on empanelment
and posting of particular batch of IAS officer in the Centre. Such up-gradation would not be
linked to the vacancies in the grade.
The up-gradation granted under these orders will be a purely non-functional up-gradation,
personal to the officer and it would not bestow any right to the officer to claim promotion or
deputation benefits based on non-functional up-gradation in such a manner.
All the prescribed eligibility criteria and promotional norms including benchmark for upgradation to a particular grade pay would have to be met at the time of screening for grant
of higher pay scale under these orders.
A screening committee would be formed by the Ministry for implementation of these orders.

level above the grade for which upgradation is being considered. Secretary of the Ministry
concerned would chair the committee.
All instructions concerning grant of non-functional upgradation presently applicable in the
case of grant of NFSG to officers of Group A services would apply in the event of penalty,
disciplinary proceedings, suspension etc.
Orders will be issued with the approval of the competent authority. Grant of higher pay
scale on the non-functional basis would be from the date of posting of the first officer
belonging to the particular batch of IAS officer at the centre. In case of any delay in the
issue of orders, financial benefits under these orders will be given from the due date.
(i) Pay fixation on grant of non-functional up-gradation under these orders will be done as
per the provisions of CCS(RP) Rules,2008 i.e. the officers will be granted one increment at
the rate of 3% of basic pay and the difference of grade pay will be added to their basic pay.
(ii) As far as similarly placed officers of organized Gr.A services, who are posted under the
Central Staffing Scheme are concerned, they will be granted one additional increment on

regular promotion as per the normal DPC guidelines, based on the provisions of the
recruitment rules. UPSC will be consulted wherever the rules provide for the same.
However at the time of promotion, the pay in the grade will not be fixed again for officers
who have been granted upgradation under these orders.
Officers on deputation/study leave or any other duly sanctioned leave would also be
considered and granted higher pay scale on non-functional basis according to the
prescribed procedure.
Non-functional up-gradation to the next higher grade pay granted under the scheme is a
fall back option only, to be applied in cases where officers of a particular Service have not
been granted promotion to a particular grade in normal course according to the due
procedure.
ILLUSTRATION: If officers of 1987 batch of IAS are empanelled as Joint Secretary in the
grade pay of Rs.10,000/- in PB-4 and an officer of the batch gets posted in the
Centre(under Central Staffing Scheme ) on 15 th January 2008, all the officers of the 1985
batch of organized Gr.A Central Services who have not been promoted to the Joint

Attention is invited to Para 104 of IREM, 1989 Edition, which stipulates that all
appointments will be made on probation for a period of two years. For trainees or apprentices
appointed to a working post after the conclusion of their training, the probationary period
commences on the date of such appointment.
Para 189[4][ii] of IREM envisages that Group D Railway servants, to be eligible for
promotion to Group C posts, against 33. 1/3 % quota, should have put in a minimum of three
years of continuous service. This does not apply to SC/ ST candidates.
Reference is invited to Boards letter dt. 22.2.2003 (S.C.No.33/2003) wherein clarification
was issued that while the concession of service rendered as CL/Substitutes towards reckoning
service required as eligibility condition for appearing in the selection for promotion to Group C
posts against 33.1/3 % will continue to be available, subject to the condition that no person will be
eligible to appear in the selection unless he has satisfactorily completed the period of probation in
the recruitment grade.
During probation, performance of an employee for retention in service is under
observation, he/she cannot be considered for further promotion during the said period. As such
the eligibility for appearing in the selection for promotion to Group C posts has been made
subject to satisfactory completion of probation. Probation is required to be completed in regular
employment only as against ad-hoc or casual service. Though the concession is available to
SC/ST candidates to appear for Group C posts without any service condition as per para 189[4]
[ii] of IREM, it is subject to satisfactory completion of period of probation of 2 years in the regular
employment.

Despite the existence of the above instructions, notifications are being issued by the
Divisions/units without stipulating the condition of satisfactory completion of the period of
probation in the regular employment for filling up the posts in Group C category from Grade Pay
Rs.1800/- to Grade Pay Rs.1900 in PB-1 ( Rs.5200-20200) against the prescribed percentages.
Henceforth in all the notifications being issued for filling up the posts in
Group C
category from Grade Pay Rs.1800/- to Grade Pay Rs.1900 in PB-1 ( Rs.5200-20200) against
33.1/3% and 16.2/3% quotas, the following may be incorporated along with other existing
conditions :
1.

All employees volunteering, including SC/ST who have satisfactorily completed


the 2 year period of probation in the recruitment grade need only apply.
Note: In respect of trainees or apprentices the probationary period
commences from the date he/she is appointed to a working post after
conclusion of training/apprenticeship

2.

CL/Substitute service rendered after conferment of T/Status before regular


absorption will be counted as service for appearing in the selection for promotion
to Group C posts, subject to satisfactory completion of the period of probation of
2 years in regular employment.

Assured Career Progression Scheme ( MACPS) for Railway employees.

Attention is invited to Boards letter No.PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 10.6.2008, (S.CNo.85/2009)


regarding Modified Assured Career Progression scheme for Railway employees w.e.f. 1.9.2008. It
was advised in the above circular that the cadre controlling officer shall constitute the first screening
committee within one month from the date of issue of the instructions, to consider the cases maturing
upto 30.06.2009 for grant of benefits under the MACPS. Action in this regard would have been taken
by the Cadre Controlling Officers.
The following further instructions are issued to regulate the benefit under MACPS to the
eligible employees :1.

MACPS is to be granted by perusal of Service records / ACRS ( as the case may be) of
the employees by the Screening Committee on non-functional basis as under:i)
ii)
iii)

subject to declaring fitness in the hierarchy of grade pay within PB-1.


Benchmark of good till the grade pay of Rs.6600/- in PB-3.
Benchmark of Very good to the grade pay of Rs.7600/-and above.

ACRS/Working report of last 03 years, including the latest, should be considered for
the above purpose.
ACRs /Service records (where applicable) and DAR/SPE/Vigilance clearances should
be called for in respect of all the candidates who are eligible for the benefit of MACPS in
advance so that the same can be put up to Screening Committee.
Where one or more ACRs have not been written for any reason during the relevant period
the Screening Committee should consider the ACRs of the years preceding the period in
question and, if in any case even these are not available, the Screening Committee should
take the ACRs of lower grade into account, to complete the number of ACRs required to be
considered. If this is also not possible, all the available ACRs should be taken into account.
(Auth: SCR S.C.No.54/97)

135

2. Promotions/upgradations granted under the ACPS in the past to those grades which now
carry the same grade pay due to merger of pay scales/ upgradations of posts shall be ignored
for the purpose of granting financial upgradation under MACPS. ( Item 5 of Annexure to Bds
letter)
For example, in case of employees who earned the financial upgradation/ promotion to
the post of OS-II, OS-II Typing/ OS-I Typing/ Stenographer Gr. I / PS-II/ JE Gr.I prior to
1.1.2006, such promotions are to be ignored on account of merger of the pre-revised scales of
Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500. In such cases financial upgradation to the
next higher grade pay Rs.4600/- may be allowed on completion of requisite residency period
provided he was initially recruited to Group C category [Grade Pay Rs.1900].
3.

Where employees got third promotion on regular basis on a date later to 01.09.2008, but
entitled to benefit of 3rd financial upgradation from 1.9.2008, they may be allowed the benefit of
3rd ACP from 1.9.2008.

4. Cases where employees are due for MACPS as on 1.9.2008 and retired /medically decategorised/expired subsequently are also to be allowed the benefit of ACP from the said date
and pensionary benefits revised in such cases, accordingly.
5. Promotions earned in the post carrying same grade pay in the promotional hierarchy as per
the rules shall be counted for the purpose of MACPS. This will apply in the case of horizontal
promotions granted to running cadre i.e., promotion from Sr.Goods Driver in GP Rs.4200/- to
Passenger Driver with GP Rs.4200/-.
6. Service rendered as a Trainee/Apprentice before regular absorption to a working post is not to
be counted for the purpose of MACPS.
7.

Where employees got two regular promotions without any financial upgradation under the
earlier ACP Scheme- 1999 and are stagnating in the same grade pay for more than 10 years
in the grade pay attached to the second promotion or on completion of 30 years of service,
they are eligible for 3rd financial upgradation under new MACPS.

8.

Fixation benefit i.e. 3% of pay plus GP in lower grade is not to be extended to staff transferred
at their own request from higher grade to lower grades from one seniority unit to another with
protection of pay at the time of grant of 2nd financial upgradation to the same higher grade.

The cases maturing upto 30.6.2009 for grant of benefit under MACPS to the eligible employees
should be completed by 28-8-2009 and compliance reported to Secretary to CPO to apprise the
position to CPO.
This issues with the approval of CPO.

wherein revised mode for filling up of vacancies as existed on 31.08.2009 in merged grades, have
been issued. In the above connection a number of references are being received from the Railways
for clarification regarding status of panels/suitability lists etc. in cases where promotion procedure has
been initiated /completed and panels / suitability lists were prepared /partly operated, for promotion to
the posts which have been merged into one grade pay as a result of implementation of
recommendations of 6th CPC. It was also indicated in the instructions contained in this Ministrys letter
of even number dated 23.09.08 that merger of grades has affected the existing AVCs, therefore, no
promotion shall be made in case of merged grades, except the categories of Loco Pilots and Guards.
The matter has been considered by the Board and it has been decided that:

in cases where even after merger, mode of filling up in merged grades, as indicted in the
statement enclosed with letter dt. 03.09.2009, has not been changed, all such panels, suitability lists [if
any] as finalized /partly operated before restriction was imposed on making promotion to such merged
grades, which was effective from 04.09.2008, may be further operated. All other panels/suitability lists
cease to exist i.e. the cases where a Non-Selection post has been changed to Selection or
Suitability with Prescribed Benchmark AND where a Selection post has been changed to NonSelection or Suitability with Prescribed Benchmark .
In the above cases of change of
classification/mode of filling up in merged grades, any promotion/filling up of vacancies on or after
04.09.2008, made through a mode other than prescribed in letter dated 03.09.2009 will be treated as
adhoc and will not confer any right on the incumbents promoted /posted as such to hold or continue to
hold the said post. In such cases of posts where mode of filling up has been changed vide letter dt.
03.09.2009, w.e.f. 04.09.2008 all posts should be filled up as per revised procedure. In case of
Running Staff, where existing AVCs were continued any panel/suitability lists finalized before
03.09.2009 may first be operated to fill up the vacancies as existed on 31.08.2009 and then further
action for making promotions, as indicated in letter dt. 03.09.2009 should be taken, in case
panels/suitability lists finalized earlier have fallen short, in fulfilling the requirements upto 31.08.2009.
All vacancies as have arisen on or after 01.09.2009 will be filled up after laying down regular scheme
for the same, as indicated in this Ministrys letter of even number dt. 03.09.2009.

Similarly, selections /suitability tests etc. in above cases of merged grades, where mode of
filling up has not changed, same may now be finalized. All other selections/suitability tests shall cease
to exist.
[iii]
It has also been decided that in case as a result of dispensation given at [ii] above, if a
panel/suitability list is finalized by the Railways say on 31.12.2009, in such a case, as a one time
measure, mandatory time gap between two selections etc., is not required to be observed and next

the minimum service of 10, 20 and 30 years for the grant of benefit under the MACP Scheme.
2.
Further, on demand from both the federations that the entire service of the substitutes on their
absorption in regular service may be reckoned for MACPS purposes, the matter has been carefully
considered by the Board. It is found that unlike casual labour whose 50% of temporary status service
counts for pensionary benefits, temporary status service in full of the substitutes counts for pensionary
benefits. It has, therefore, been decided that the entire temporary status service of substitutes
followed by regularisation without break may be taken into account towards the minimum service of
10, 20 and 30 years for the purpose of grant of benefit under the MACP Scheme.

posts carrying the Grade Pay
4200 on seniority-cum-suitability basis was prescribed as 6 marks
while for posts with Grade Pay 4600 & above, the benchmark was 7 marks. This was permitted as
a one time relaxation in order to fill up the vacancies arisen upto 31.08.2009, after merger of grades
due to implementation of 6th CPC recommendations.

pursuant to several references received from IRMS officers seeking clarification regarding the
admissibility of benefits associated with the higher grade allotted to them under the DACP Scheme,
such as issue of Silver Pass, etc. the matter has been examined and it is clarified that since an
upgradation earned by the IRMS officers under the Dynamic ACP Scheme has all the attributes of a
regular promotion, all benefits (including Silver Pass) which are available to IRMS officers on regular
promotion, may also be allowed to them on grant of higher Grade Pay earned under the DACP

unable to get promotion within the percentage based present system.
3.
Para 13 of the annexure of the MACPS accordingly stands modified to this effect. In other
words, the Staff Car Driver Scheme and the MACPS shall run concurrently.

without any re-training be re-considered and such employees should be granted the benefit by re-fixing
their pension/family pension at par with those employees who were retrained and whose pay was fixed
in PB-1 with grade pay of
.1800/-.
4.
The request of Staff Side on the subject has been considered by the Government and it has been
decided that the regular Group D non-matriculate employees who died in harness or have retired
between 01.01.2006 and the date of notification of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, i.e.
04.09.2008, from the Railways would also be placed in PB-1 with grade pay of 1800/- with effect from
01.01.2006. It should however be ensured that if any non-matriculate regular Group `D employees have
been on leave due to which they could not be retrained, they should be retrained immediately on joining
duty.

clarifications regarding

[MACPS]

for

Railway

employees

***
In continuation to the Boards letter of even number dated 10.06.2009 notifying the Modified
ACP Scheme for Railway employees, point-wise clarifications on certain issues pertaining to the
MACPS, as received from the Department of Personnel & Training are indicated below:
S.No.
1

Point of doubt
Whether the Pay Band would
change in the hierarchy of Pay
Bands & Grade Pay on grant of the
benefits under MACPS?
Whether the benefits of MACPS
would be allowed to the Railway
servants who have been later on
inducted in the Organized Group
A Service
How will the benefits of ACP be
granted if due between 01.01.2006
and 31.08.2008?

Clarification
The upgradations under MACPS are to be granted in the
immediate next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of
recommended revised pay band and grade pay as
prescribed in the RS[RP] Rules, 2008
No. The benefit under MACPS is not applicable to Group A
officer of Organised Group A Services, as the officer under
Organized Group A Services have already been allowed
parity of two years on non-functional basis with the officers
of Indian Administrative Services (IAS)
The new MACPS has come into existence w.e.f.
01.09.2008. However, the pay structure has been changed
w.e.f. 01.01.2006. Therefore the previous ACPS would be
applicable in the new pay structure adopted w e f .
01.01.2006. Para 6.1 of Annexure-1 of MACPS is only for
exercising option for coming over to the revised pay
structure and not for grant of benefits under MACPS.

146

S.No.

Point of doubt

Clarification
The following illustrations would explain the position:
(A) In the case of isolated post:
Date of appointment in entry Grade in the
scale of 4000-6000: 01.10.1982

pre-revised pay

1st ACP granted on 01.10.1999 : 4500-7000 (pre-revised)


2nd ACP due on 01. 10. 2006 :
5000-8000 (pre-revised)
[revised PB-2 Grade Pay of 4200]
3rd financial upgradation under the MACPS would be due on
01.10 2012 (on completion of 30 years of continuous regular
service) in the immediate next higher grade pay in the
hierarchy of recommended revised pay band and grade pay
i.e. Grade Pay of 4600 in PB-2.
(B) In the case of normal promotional hierarchy :
Date of appointment in entry Grade in the pre-revised pay
scale of 5500-9000: 01.10.1982
1st ACP granted on 01.10.1999 :
6500-10500 (prerevised)
2nd ACP due on 01.10.2006 (as per the existing hierarchy):
10000-15200 (pre-revised). Therefore, 2nd ACP would
be in PB-3 with Grade Pay of
6600 (in terms of
hierarchy available):
3rd financial upgradation under MACPS would be due on
01.10.2012 in the immediate next higher grade pay in the
hierarchy of recommended revised pay band and grade pay
of 7600.
4

Whether the benefits of MACPS


would be granted from the date of
entry grade or from the date of their
regular service/approved service
counted under various service rules?

In a case where a person is


appointed to an ex-cadre post in
higher scale on deputation followed
by absorption, whether the period
spent on deputation would be
counted as continuous service in
the grade or not for the purpose of
MACPS

Whether the pay scale /grade pay


of substantive post would be taken
into account for appointment
/selection to a higher post on
deputation basis or the pay scale
/grade pay carried by a Railway
servant on account of financial
upgradation[s]
under
the
ACP/MACP Scheme?
In a case where 1st/2nd financial
upgradations are postponed on
account of the employees not found
fit
or
due
to
departmental
proceedings, etc. whether this would
have consequential effect on the
2nd/3rd financial upgradation or not.
In a case where the Railway

The benefits under MACPS would be available from the


date of actual joining of the post in the entry grade.
(i)
Where a person is appointed on direct
recruitment/deputation basis from another post in the same
grade, then past regular service as well as past
promotions/ACP, in the earlier post, will be counted for
computing regular service for the purpose of MACPS in the
new hierarchy.
(ii) However, where a person is appointed to an ex-cadre
post in higher scale initially on deputation followed by
absorption, while the service rendered in the earlier post,
which was in a lower scale cannot be counted, there is no
objection to the period spent initially on deputation in the
ex-cadre post prior to absorption being counted towards
regular service for the purposes of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS, as it is in the same Pay
band/grade pay of the post.
The pay scale /grade pay of substantive post would only be
taken into account for deciding the eligibility for
appointment /selection to a higher post on deputation basis.

Yes. If a financial upgradation has been deferred/postponed


on account of the employee not found fit or due to
departmental proceedings, etc.. the 2nd/3rd financial
upgradations under MACPS would have consequential
effect. (Para 18 of Annexure-1 of MACPS referred).
No. Since the Railway servant has already earned three

147

S.No.

Point of doubt
servant has already earned three
promotions and still stagnated in
one grade for more than 10 years,
whether he would be entitled for
any further upgradation under
MACPS?
Whether the pre-revised pay scale
of
2750-4400 in respect of
Group
D
non
matriculate
employees, would also be taken as
merged to grade pay of
1800 for
the purpose of MACPS in view of
merger of pre-revised pay scales of
2550-3200,
2610-3540,
2610-4000
and
2650-4000,
which have been upgraded and
replaced by the revised pay
structure of grade pay of
1800 in
the pay band PB-1.

10
If a Railway Servant on deputation
earns upgradation under MACPS in
the parent cadre, whether he would
be entitled for deputation (duty)
allowance on the pay and
emoluments granted under the
MACPS or not?
11

Since the pay scales of Group D


employees have been merged and
placed in the Grade Pay of
1800, whether they are entitled for
grant of increment @ 3% during
pay fixation at every stage.

Clarification
promotions, he would not be entitled for any further financial
upgradation under MACPS.

Yes

No. While eligibility of an employee for appointment against excadre posts in terms of the provisions of the RRs of the excadre post will continue to be determined with reference to the
post/pay scale of the post held in the parent cadre on regular
basis (and not with reference to the higher scale granted under
ACPS/MACPS), such an officer, in the event of his selection,
may be allowed to opt to draw the pay in the higher scale under
ACP/MACP Scheme without deputation allowance during the
period of deputation, if it is more beneficial than the normal
entitlements under the existing general order regulating pay on
appointment on deputation basis.
Yes. On the analogy of point 22 of Annexure-1 of MACPS,
the pay of such Group D employees who have been
placed in the Grade Pay of `1800 w.e.f. 01.01.2006 shall be
fixed successively in the next three immediate higher grade
pays in the hierarchy of revised pay bands and grade pays
allowing the benefit of 3% pay fixation at every stage.

2.
The MACPS should strictly be implemented in keeping with the instructions issued vide Boards
letter dated 10.06.2009 ibid read with the aforesaid clarifications.

2800 for being placed in Pay
Band-2, Grade Pay
4200 in the revised pay structure ignoring the service rendered by them in the

in Boards letter No.PC-VI/2009/I/RSRP/10 dated 30.03.2010.

Sub: Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme [MACPS] for the Railway employees
Clarifications regarding.
***
Subsequent to the issue of Boards instructions dated 10.06.2009 regarding MACP Scheme a
Joint Committee is set up to examine the anomalies pertaining to the Modified Assured Career
Progression Scheme [MACPS] vide Department of Personnel & Training O.M. No. 11/1/2010-JCA,
dated 03.05.2010.
2.
During the Joint Committee meeting it was pointed out by the Staff Side that the word New
Organisation of the last line of Para-24 of annexure of MACPS dated 10.6.2009 was not in consonance
with the spirit of the Scheme. The issue has been examined and it is clarified that in case of transfer
including unilateral transfer on request, regular service rendered in previous organization/ office shall
be counted along with the regular service in the new organization /office for the purpose of getting
financial upgradation under the MACPS. However, financial upgradation under the MACPS shall be
allowed in the immediate next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of revised pay bands as given in
Railway Services [Revised Pay] Rules, 2008. Para-24 of MACPS stands amended to this extent.
3.
The Staff Side also raised an issue on the Benchmark for MACPS as given in Para-17 of
annexure of MACPS dated 10.06.2009 which provides that the financial upgradation would be on Nonfunctional basis subject to fitness, in the hierarchy of grade pay within the PB-1. Thereafter for
upgradation under the MACPS, the bench of Good would be applicable till the grade pay of
6600/in PB-3. The benchmark will be Very Good for financial upgradation to the grade pay of R
7600/and above. It was pointed out that in some cases the promotion to the next higher grade was made on
the basis of fitness as the method of promotion as specified in the relevant recruitment rules, was nonselection. Therefore, in such cases benchmarks should not be insisted upon under the MACPS. The
issue has been examined and it is clarified that where the financial upgradation under MACPS also
happen to be in the promotional grade and benchmark for promotion is lower than the benchmark for
granting the benefits under MACPS as mentioned in Para-17 ibid, the benchmark for promotion shall
apply to MACPS also. This instruction is in continuation of Boards earlier instruction of even number
dated 03.02.2010.

Clarifications regarding.

Attention is invited to Boards letter dated 10.06.2009, circulated under SC No. 85/09
regarding the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme [MACPS] for the Railway Servants.
Consequent upon introduction of the MACPS, clarifications have been sought by some of the
divisions/ units on certain issues in connection with implementation of MACPS. The doubts have
been examined and clarifications are given below:
S.No.
1

Point of Doubt
Whether the service from the date of initial
appointment into Railways
or subsequent
appointment to higher grade posts against Direct
Recruitment Quota through RRB [Open market] is to
be counted for the purpose of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS to eligible employees.

Whether the case of employees initially engaged as


Casual Labour and were granted temporary status in
Group D, but were absorbed as Technician Grade III
[Group C] in scale
260-400/3050-4590 against
25% DR quota, is to treated as promotion from
Group D to C for the purpose of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS or otherwise.

This issues with the approval of CPO.


****
Letter No.P(R)535/VII

Clarification
Employees appointed to higher grade posts
through RRBs from open market are to be
treated as direct recruits in the higher grade to
which they were appointed for the purpose of
grant of financial upgradation under MACPS.
However, in such cases service rendered in a
lower grade pay is not to be counted for the
purpose of grant of benefit under MACPS.
Casual labour who were initially engaged in
Group D and subsequently absorbed in Group
C against 25% DR quota without absorption in
Group D, their absorption is not to be taken as
promotion for the purpose of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS.

Sub: Ad-hoc promotion of staff in Construction and other projects.

According to extant procedure, Construction/Projects are treated as extension of the cadre of


posts in the Railway/Division in the jurisdiction of which such projects are located and all their
requirements are being taken care of by Open Line Administration. Since all such posts are already
being taken into account for extending promotion to staff against such posts, there is hardly any
post[s] against which such adhoc promotion could be given.
2.
The matter has been considered afresh by the Board and it has been decided that in order to
avoid unintended benefit to the junior employees working in Construction Organisation, the ad-hoc
promotions in Construction Organisation should be restricted and instructions in this regard as
contained in Boards letter No. E[NG]I-97/PM1/30 dated 27.03.1998 read with para 216A of IREM Vol.I, 1989 should be strictly adhered to. In no case, second ad-hoc promotion should be allowed under
any circumstances.
3.
It has also been decided that henceforth all promotions shall be done with the approval of the
Cadre Controlling authority who is competent to issue regular promotions. The need for ad-hoc
promotion should be personally approved by the Cadre Controlling Authority of the Open Line before
any such ad-hoc promotion is granted by Construction Organisation.

administration, in consultation with FA&CAO should identify the designation/category of the apprentice
concerned with similar case appearing in the Schedule and determine the rate of stipend applicable
thereto. Wherever such identification is not possible, specific cases may be reported to the Board with
verbatim comments of the FA&CAO.

185

3.
In case, the period of training as indicated in these orders is at variance with the actual
practice in respect of one or more categories, the matter should be referred to the Railway Board for
decision.

With reference to Boards letter dated 1.12.08 quoted above, a doubt has been raised by one
of the Railways in regard to the entitlement of Railway employees for Ordinary Taxi while on tour. The
matter has been examined in Boards office and it is clarified that though there is no specific mention
about entitlement of Railway servants to undertake journey by Ordinary Taxi in column [i] of the Table
in Para-D of the Annexure to Boards above quoted letter dated 1.12.2008, it is implicit in the
provisions of the aforesaid para that the Railway servants who are covered under category [i], [ii] & [iii]

Education Allowance
and Hostel Subsidy admissible to Railway servants based on the
recommendations of Sixth Central Pay Commission.
2.
However, certain doubts had been raised still further by some Railways on the aforesaid
policy, which are clarified as under:
S.No.
1

Point of doubt/Clarifications
Whether the expenditure incurred on
purchase of books, uniform, shoes etc.
prior to 01.09.2008 during the
academic year 2008-09 is reimbursable
under the Scheme and, if so, upto what
extent?

Comments
The revised orders on Children Education
Allowance are effective from 01.09.2008. In the
revised orders reimbursement is admissible for
expenditure on purchase of books, uniform,
school shoes and certain other fee heads which
was not available under the previous instructions.
Expenditure incurred prior to 01.09.2008 has to
be covered as per the previous instructions. As
such it is not feasible to reimburse expenditure on
books, uniform, shoes etc. purchased prior to
01.09.2008.

202

S.No.
2

Point of doubt/Clarifications
Whether the full amount of Rs.12000/of Children Education Allowance can
be reimbursed at the beginning of the
academic year since expenditure on
purchase of books, uniform, shoes and
certain fee elements like admission fee,
science fee etc. is made at the start of
scholastic session?

3.

In case of employees appointed to


service after 01.09.2008, whether the
allowance is admissible from date of
joining on pro-rata basis or full
reimbursement can be claimed?

4.

Whether reimbursement can be


claimed for expenses on Tuition
classes in recognized Coaching
Centres.

Comments
The new scheme provides reimbursement of
children education allowance upto a maximum of
Rs.12,000/- per annum per child. It further
prescribes that reimbursement can be claimed
once every quarter and the amount claimed in a
quarter could be more than Rs.3000/- and
another quarter less than Rs.3000/- subject to
overall ceiling of
Rs. 12,000/- per child p.a.
being maintained. This logically implies that
starting from academic year 2009-10 entire
Rs.12,000/- can be claimed in one quarter with
nil reimbursements in other three quarters.
It is clarified in the revised instructions that
Children Education Allowance is not admissible
for the period of service treated as dies-non i.e.
no service no allowance. It is further clarified that
Children Education Allowance may be calculated
on pro-rata basis @ maximum Rs.1000/- per
month per child. As such employees who have
joined service after 01.09.2008 would be entitled
to Allowance on pro-rata basis i.e. maximum
Rs.1000/- for each completed month per child.
The Children Education Allowance is meant for
the reimbursement of expenses incurred on
studies/ education of a child in a school. Hence
expenses on coaching classes in a Tuition
/Coaching Centre would not be admissible.

This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

performed in connection with official duties also, subject, however, to the condition that 50% of the
total visits, the minimum being not less than six, must be domiciliary visits.
Provided further that the limit fixed for the minimum number of 20 visits will not, however,
detract a Specialist/Medical officer from his/her responsibility towards the patients to render visit to the
hospital or paying domiciliary visits if the situation so warrants.
6.
Every Specialist/Medical Officer claiming Conveyance Allowance will have to furnish a
certificate along with monthly pay bill to the effect that he/she is drawing Conveyance Allowance in
fulfillment of condition No.5 above.

in Para 1 above and those who do not maintain a Motor Car or Motor Cycle/Scooter and draw
Conveyance Allowance @ Rs.900/-p.m. or Rs.60/- p.m. as the case may be, will be required to furnish
a certificate along with the monthly pay bill, to the effect that the expenditure incurred by them by way
of transport/conveyance hire in connection with domiciliary visits/official duty was not less than the
amount claimed by them as Conveyance Allowance.
9.
Specialists/Medical Officers in receipt of Conveyance Allowance will not be entitled to draw
any Daily Allowance or Mileage Allowance for journeys on official duty, whether, within or beyond a
radius of eight kilometers within the city municipal limits.
10.
In case the conveyance is not maintained or is not available for use, owing to its being out of
order or is not used for official journeys/hospital visit for any other reason, for a period of more than 15
days at a time, Conveyance Allowance will be admissible during such period at the rate prescribed in

to become members of the Scheme but are not actually enrolled are also entitled for grant of Fixed
Medical Allowance. Pensioners/family pensioners who possess RELHS card & avail OPD facility are
NOT entitled for Fixed Medical Allowance, whereas those who possess RELHS card but do not avail
OPD facility [except in cases of chronic diseases, as defined in Boards letter No. 2006/H/DC/JCM
dated 12.10.2006] are entitled for Fixed Medical Allowance.
3.
Further, FMA and arrears of FMA would continue to be paid, as earlier, to pensioners /family
pensioners only after submission of the enclosed undertaking form to the Pension Disbursing Authority

The subject of revising hourly rates of bonus and bonus factor subsequent to implementation
of Sixth CPC pay structure has been under consideration of Ministry of Railways for sometime. The
matter has been examined and it has been decided to revise hourly rates of incentive bonus and

working on the shop floor will get monthly payment of incentive bonus calculated at flat rate of 15% of
their basic pay.
3. Payment of incentive to Junior Engineers, essentially indirect workers and supervisors at the
revised rates indicated above shall continue to be governed by the conditions laid down in Railway
Boards letter No. PC-IV/88/Incentive Bonus/1 dated 6.10.89.
4.
The rates for PCO allowance have already been advised vide Boards letter No.
E[P&A]I/2008/SP-I/WS-4 dated 06.2.09 and 23.04.09.
5.
Kindly note that bonus factor earlier calculated by multiplication of minimum of basic pay with
1.3 has been replaced with a revised total value [at 100%] as indicated above. No multiplication with
any factor is to be done with this value.

217

6.
The revision of hourly rates of incentive bonus and bonus factor of workshops and PUs is
linked with 5% improvement in productivity in the workshops/PUs. Therefore, necessary adjustments
in the total allowed time for each job in the workshops will have to be calculated accordingly in case of
CRJ pattern incentive scheme in workshops/PUs. Similarly, for workshops/PUs under GIS, the
productivity is to be increased by 5% without additional payment. The work of revision of allowed time
in workshops/PUs should be taken in hand and should be completed by 30.11.09.
7.

It has been decided to effect 5% improvement in productivity on a prospective basis i.e. w.e.f. 1.12.09.

8.

The revised rates as indicated in the table will be effective from 1.6.09.

9.
Other guidelines not covered in this letter for payment of incentive to staff under CRJ/GIS
pattern incentive schemes shall continue to be in force.
This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

that are to be taken into account for the period from 01.01.2006 to 31.08.2008 for the purpose of
computation of rates of OTA.

January, 1994 as amended/revised from time to time. A need has been felt to consolidate all these orders

out a self contained O.M. in supersession of OM dated 5.1.94 and subsequent amendments on the
subject, incorporating the provisions of earlier orders with suitable modifications, wherever necessary.
2. Application
2.1 These orders will apply to all Central Government employees, who are regularly appointed on
deputation/foreign service in accordance with Recruitment Rules of the ex-cadre posts, under the
same or some other Departments of Central Government or under the State Governments/ Union
Territories Administration/ Local Bodies or under Central/ State PSUs/Autonomous Bodies etc. set up
or controlled by Central/State Governments provided the foreign service under such
PSUs/autonomous bodies has been permitted in relaxation of appointment on immediate absorption
basis. These orders will also cover the cases of regular appointment on deputation/foreign service of
employees of State Government/local bodies etc. as well as PSUs/Autonomous Bodies of Central/
State Governments as per recruitment rules in the Central Government.
2.2 However, the following cases shall not be covered under these orders for whom separate orders exist:
(a) Members of the All India Services and those deputed to posts, whose terms are regulated under
specific statutory rules or orders;
(b) Officers appointed on deputation to posts under the Central Staffing Scheme (CSS) for whom
separate orders as issued from time to time will continue to apply;
(c) Deputation to posts operated outside India;
(d) Appointments of a specific category of employees to a specified class of posts, such as
appointments made in the Personal Staff of Ministers etc., in respect of which special orders are
already in existence. However, the terms and conditions set out in this O.M. will apply to those cases
to the extent these are not specifically covered under such special orders.

exigencies of service with the specific condition that no deputation (duty) allowance will be admissible
e.g. (i) interim arrangements in the event of conversion of a Government office/organisation or a
portion thereof into a PSU/ autonomous body or vice-versa; and (ii) appointments to the same post in
another cadre.

235

3. Scope of Term deputation/ foreign service Restrictions on treating an appointment as on


deputation/ foreign service.
3.1 The terms deputation/foreign service will cover only those appointments that are made by transfer
on a temporary basis provided the transfer is outside the normal field of deployment and is in public
interest. The question whether the transfer is outside the normal field of deployment or not will be
decided by the authority which controls the service or post from which the employee is transferred.
3.2 The following types of appointments will not be treated as deputation/foreign service for the
purposes of these orders:
(a) appointment of serving employees made either by promotion or by direct recruitment from amongst
open market candidates whether on permanent or temporary basis.
(b) permanent appointment made by transfer.
(c)Temporary appointment made on the basis of personal requests of employees.
(d) Arrangements necessitated by staff imbalances arising on re-organisation of offices on the same or
different stations, subject to the specific condition that no deputation (duty) allowance will be
admissible in such cases.
3.3
A person in a higher Grade Pay/scale of pay shall not be appointed on deputation to a post in
lower Grade Pay/scale of pay if the deputation is from Central Government to Central Government and
also in cases where the scale of pay and dearness allowance in the parent cadre post and ex-cadre
post are similar.
3.4
However, no appointment on deputation/foreign service shall be made from/to Central
Government/ an organisation where the pay scale and DA in the parent cadre post and ex-cadre post
are dissimilar, if the basic pay in the parent cadre increased by one increment plus dearness
allowance(s) including interim relief if any, admissible to a person in the parent cadre post exceeds the
basic pay plus dearness allowance (s) including interim relief, if any, at the maximum of the pay scale
of the ex-cadre post. In the revised pay structure, the maximum of the scale would mean the sum of
the Grade Pay of the ex-cadre post and maximum of the Pay Band PB 4 i.e. 67000. For example, if
the ex-cadre post is in the Grade Pay of
4200, then the maximum would be 71200 i.e.
4200
plus 67000 (maximum of PB 4).
4.

Exercise of option

4.1 An employee appointed on deputation/foreign service, may elect to draw either the pay in the
scale of pay of deputation/foreign service post or his/her basic pay in the parent cadre plus deputation
(duty) allowance thereon plus personal pay, if any. However, in case of Government employees on
deputation/ foreign service to CPSEs, this option will not be allowed and their pay will be governed in
terms of the orders issued by Department of Public Enterprises vide OM dated 26.11.2008 and
clarifications issued thereafter.
4.2 The borrowing authority shall obtain the option of the employee within one month from the date
of joining the ex-cadre post unless the employee has himself furnished the option.
4.3

The option once exercised shall be final.

4.4
However, the employee may revise the option under the following circumstances which will be
effective from the date of occurrence of the same:
(a)
When he/she receives proforma promotion or is appointed to non-functional selection grade or
up-gradation of scale in the parent cadre;
(b) When he/she is reverted to a lower grade in the parent cadre;

236

(c) When the scale of pay of the parent post on the basis of which his emoluments are regulated
during deputation/foreign service or of the ex-cadre post held by the employee on deputation/foreign
service is revised either prospectively or from a retrospective date.
(d) Based on the revised/same option of the employee, in the event of proforma
promotion/appointment to non-functional Selection Grade/revision/upgradation of scales of pay in the
parent cadre, his/her pay will be re-fixed with reference to the revised entitlement of pay in the parent
cadre. However, if the initial option was for the pay scale of the deputation post and no change in
option already exercised is envisaged, the pay already drawn in deputation post will be protected if the
pay re-fixed is less.
Note: Revision in the rates of DA, HRA or any other allowance either in the parent or borrowing
organisation shall not be an occasion for revision of the earlier option.
4.5. If the pay of an employee in his cadre post undergoes downward revision, the pay in the ex-cadre
post is also liable to be re-fixed on the basis of revised pay and in accordance with the revised option
or existing option if the employee does not revise his option.
5. Pay fixation
5.1 When an employee on deputation/Foreign Service elects to draw pay in the scale of pay attached
to the ex-cadre post, his/ her pay may be fixed as under:
(i) Deputation from Central Government to Central Government
If the scale of pay/Grade Pay of the ex-cadre post is higher, the pay may be fixed after adding one
increment to the existing pay in the Pay Band of the parent cadre post. The grade pay corresponding
to the ex-cadre post would thereafter be granted in addition to this pay in the pay band. However, in
cases where the fixation of pay in the ex-cadre post involves change of Pay Band also, if the pay in
the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the pay band corresponding to
the grade pay of the ex-cadre post, the pay in the pay band will be fixed at the minimum of the Pay
Band.
In case the Grade Pay/scale of employees cadre post and the ex-cadre post are identical, the
employee would continue to draw his/her existing basic pay.
In case the Grade pay of the ex-cadre post is upto 10000, the Basic Pay, from time to time after pay
fixation should not exceed the maximum of the pay band PB-4( .67000) plus the grade pay of the
post held on deputation. In case the ex-cadre post is in the HAG or HAG+ pay scale, the Basic Pay,
from time to time after pay fixation should not exceed 79000 or 80000 respectively.
(ii) In foreign service/ Reverse Foreign Service
(a) when the pay scale of the post in the parent cadre and that attached to ex-cadre post are based on
the same index level and the DA pattern is also same, the pay may be fixed as under (i) above.
(b) If the appointment is made to a post whose pay structure and/ or DA pattern is dissimilar to that in
the parent organisation, pay may be fixed by adding one increment to the pay in the parent cadre post
in the scale of his regular parent post ( 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 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 of the ex-cadre post at which total emoluments admissible in the ex-cadre
post as above equal the emoluments drawn in the cadre.
5.2 In cases of appointment from one ex-cadre post to another ex-cadre post where the employee
opts to draw pay in the scale of the ex-cadre post, the pay in the second or subsequent ex-cadre post
should be fixed under the normal rules with reference to the pay in the cadre post only. However, in
respect of appointments to ex-cadre posts carrying Grade Pay 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.

237

5.3 In cases of appointments to a second or subsequent ex-cadre post(s) in a higher pay scale/grade
pay 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
scales of pay/Grade Pay attached to the ex-cadre posts.
Note-1: The term parent post and basic pay means the post held on regular basis in the parent
organisation and pay drawn/ admissible in such a post respectively.
Note-2: An officer who may be holding a higher post on adhoc basis in the cadre at the time of
proceeding on deputation/ foreign service would be considered to have vacated the post held on
adhoc basis and proceeded on deputation/ foreign service from his/her regular post. During the period
of deputation/ foreign service, he/she shall earn notional increments in the parent cadre post. On
reversion, if he/she is re-appointed to the higher post on regular or adhoc basis his pay will get fixed
with reference to the pay admissible in the lower post on the date of such re-appointment. In such
cases, if his pay gets fixed at a stage lower than that of his junior(s) who continued to serve in the
cadre, no stepping up will be admissible as per extant rules in so far as Central Government
employees are concerned. However, if the pay so fixed is less than the pay drawn earlier while holding
the post on ad-hoc basis the pay earlier drawn will be protected. Therefore, those Central Government
employees who are already holding a higher post on ad-hoc basis or expecting it shortly in the parent
cadre may weigh all relevant considerations before opting for deputation/foreign service. This note of
caution will be applicable to employees of other organisations wishing to apply for posts on deputation
in Central Government, if governed by similar rules in parent organisation.
Note-3: Pay of an officer appointed on deputation/foreign service on adhoc basis pending selection of a
regular incumbent may also be regulated in accordance with provisions of Para 5.1 & 6.1 of this O.M.
Note-4: The provisions of this Para as well as Para 6 will not apply to appointments on Personal Staff
of Ministers. Such appointments will be regulated by separate specific orders issued by the
Government in that behalf.
6. Deputation (duty) Allowance
6.1 The deputation (duty) allowance admissible shall be at the following rates:
(a) In case of deputation within the same station, the allowance will be paid at the rate of 5% of basic
pay subject to a maximum of 2000 p.m.; and
(b) In other cases, Deputation (Duty) Allowance will be payable at the rate of 10% of the employees
basic pay subject to a maximum of 4000/- p.m.
(c) The deputation (duty) allowance as above shall further be restricted as under:
Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance shall not exceed the maximum of the
pay band PB-4 ( 67000) plus the grade pay of the post held on deputation in case the Grade Pay of
the post held on deputation is upto
10000. In case the post held on deputation is in the HAG or
HAG+ pay scales, the Basic Pay, from time to time, plus Deputation (Duty) Allowance should not
exceed 79000 and 80000 respectively.
Note: Basic Pay in the revised pay structure means the pay drawn in the prescribed pay band plus the
applicable grade pay but does not include any other type of pay like special pay/allowance etc.
The rates of deputation (duty) allowance as above shall take effect from 1.9.2008.
Note: 1 The term same station for the purpose will be determined with reference to the station where
the person was on duty before proceeding on deputation.

238

Note: 2 Where there is no change in the headquarters with reference to the last post held, the
transfer should be treated as within the same station and when there is change in headquarters it
would be treated as not in the same station. So far as places falling within the same urban
agglomeration of the old headquarters are concerned, they would be treated as transfer within the
same station.
6.2 Special rates of deputation (duty) allowance may be admissible under separate orders in any
particular area on account of the condition of living there being particularly arduous or unattractive.
Where special rate is more favourable than that given in Para 6.1 above, employees deputed to the
area will be given the benefit of the special rate.
6.3.1 If an employee with the permission of the competent authority, proceeds on deputation/foreign
service from one ex-cadre post to another ex-cadre post in the same or another organisation without
reverting to his parent cadre, and if the second ex-cadre post is at the same station as the first one,
the rate of deputation (duty) allowance would remain unchanged.
6.3.2 In cases where a person on deputation/foreign service is transferred by the borrowing authority
from one station to another without any change in the post held by him, the rate of deputation (duty)
allowance will be refixed as per 6.1 (b).
7. Admissibility of pay, allowances & benefits while on deputation/foreign service
7.1 Any project allowance admissible in a project area in the borrowing organisation may be drawn in
addition to deputation (duty) allowance.
7.2 Any special allowance granted to an employee in the parent Department under FR 9(25) or a
corresponding. rule of parent organisation should not be allowed in addition to deputation (duty)
allowance. However, the borrowing department may allow in addition to deputation (duty) allowance,
under special circumstances, any special allowance attached to the post held by the employee in
his/her parent Department, by suitably restricting the deputation (duty) allowance. This will require the
specific and prior approval of Department of Personnel & Training.
7.3 In case special allowance is attached to the scale of pay of the ex-cadre post and the employee
has opted to draw pay in that scale, then, in addition to the pay in that scale, he will also be entitled to
draw such special allowance. However, such special allowance will not be admissible if he has opted
to draw pay in the parent cadre scale/grade pay plus deputation (duty) allowance.
7.4 Personal pay, if any, drawn by an employee in his parent department will continue to be admissible
on deputation/foreign service if he/she opts to draw pay in the parent cadre scale/grade pay plus
deputation (duty) allowance. No deputation (duty) allowance on this personal pay will however, be
admissible.
7.5 Increments The employee will draw increment in the parent cadre grade or in the scale of pay
/grade pay attached to the deputation post as the case may be, depending on whether he has opted
for the parent cadre pay plus deputation (duty) allowance or the pay scale /grade pay of the deputation
post. If he has opted for pay scale/grade pay of the deputation post, notional increments shall also
continue to accrue to him in the post held on regular basis in the parent cadre/ organisation for the
purpose of regulation of pay on repatriation to the parent post at the end of the tenure.
7.6 Admissibility of allowances and benefits while on deputation/ foreign service.
(a) Such allowances as are not admissible to regular employees of corresponding status in the
borrowing organisation shall not be admissible to the officer on deputation/foreign service, even if they
were admissible in the parent organisation.

organisation:
(i) HRA/Transport Allowance

239

(ii) Joining time and Joining Time Pay.


(iii) Travelling Allowances and Transfer T.A.

(v) LTC.
(c) Following allowances/facilities will be regulated in accordance with the rules as explained against
each:

allowance.
(ii) Medical Facilities This will be regulated in accordance with the rules of the borrowing
organisation.
(iii) Leave An officer on deputation/foreign service shall be regulated by the Leave Rules of the

time of reversion from the deputation post to the parent cadre, the borrowing organisation may allow
him/her leave not exceeding two months. The employee should apply for further leave to his Cadre
Controlling Authority.
7.7 Leave salary/Pension/NPS Contribution.
(i) As at present, allocation of leave salary and pension contribution between different
Ministries/Departments of Central Government and between Central and State Government has been

OM No.I-17011/2(1)/2009-H.III dated 14.07.2010
Sub:Interest bearing advances /Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendation on
House Building Advance-enhancement in past cases-regarding.
****

The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Ministry's O.M.No.I-17011/11(4)/2008-H.III


dated 27th November, 2008 on the above subject and to say that it has been decided in consultation
with Ministry of Finance to make the afore-said orders applicable with effect from 1st January, 2006.
Accordingly, an enhancement of House Building Advance, if applied for, may be granted for an amount
equivalent to the difference between the previously sanctioned amount and the new amount determined
on the basis of pay in the pay band, in past cases, where HBA was sanctioned on or after 1-1-2006 but
before 27-11-2008 subject to complying following conditions:(a)
The Government servant should not have drawn the entire amount of HBA sanctioned under
earlier orders and /or where construction is not completed/full cost towards acquisition of house/flat is
yet to be paid.
(b)
There will be no deviation from the approved plan of construction on the basis of which the original
sanction of House Building Advance was accorded. The revised cost of the original plan can, however, be
considered for determining the additional amount, subject to the prescribed maximum limits.
(c)
Supplementary Mortgage Deed, Personal Bond and Sureties will be drawn and executed at the
expense of the loanee.
(d)
The actual entitlement will be restricted to the repaying capacity computed on the basis of the formula
laid down in this Ministry's O.M. No.I-17015/16/92-H.III. dated 17.10.2000. It should be ensured that the
entire amount of advance with interest is recovered before retirement of the Government servant.
(e)
Rate of Interest: The rate of interest chargeable in such cases would be as per the slab
applicable to the total sanctioned amount i.e. amount already sanctioned on or after 1-1-2006 but before
27.11.2008 plus the enhanced sanction. However, the new rate of interest would be chargeable only on
collective amount that would remain outstanding on grant of enhancement of HBA i.e. the unpaid portion
of previously sanctioned HBA plus the enhancement so granted. Thus, the amount of HBA that has
already been re-paid on old rates will not attract the fresh interest charges.
2.
However, the existing limit of maximum admissible amount of
7.50 lakh for the purpose of
construction/purchase of new house/flat and 1.80 lakh would remain unchanged. In other words, the sum
total of previously sanctioned HBA and the enhancement granted under these orders cannot exceed the
aforesaid limits. In any case, not more than one enhancement is admissible to a Govt. employee.
3.
The applications for enhanced HBA should be submitted within six months from the date of issue
of this order.
4.
Ministries/Departments whose branch offices are situated in the far flung areas like in case of
Ministry of Defence, etc., are advised to give wider publicity to these orders through modern
communication mean like facimile e-mail, web-sites etc. so that there is no occasion for any
representation for extending the time limit of six months on the grounds of receiving these orders late.

made by own arrangement and facility of Kit Pass/VPU/Goods Train/Container has not been
availed of, production of documentary evidence of such transportation of personal effects by
own arrangement need not be insisted upon, subject to fulfillment of other conditions. Proof of

has been availed by the railway employee for transportation of personal effects, extant
provisions under the rules would continue to be applicable to regulate quantum of Composite

Dt. 18-11-2008

Sub: Recommendations of the 6th CPC relating to enhancement of


quantum of Maternity Leave and introduction of Child Care Leave
in respect of Railway Servants.
In terms of instructions contained in Boards letter No.E(P&A)I-2008/CPC/LE-8 dated
23.10.2008, circulated under this office Serial Circular No.144/2008, Women employees having minor
children may be granted Child Care Leave ( effective from 1.9.2008) by an authority competent to
grant leave, for a maximum period of two years (i.e.730 days) during their entire service for taking care
of upto two eldest surviving children whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like
examination, sickness etc. Child Care Leave shall not be admissible if the child is eighteen years of
age or older. During the period of such leave, the women employees shall be paid leave salary equal
to the pay drawn immediately before proceeding on leave. It may be availed of in more than one spell.
Child Care Leave shall not be debited against the leave account. Child Care Leave may also be
allowed for the third year as leave not due (without production of medical certificate) . It may be
combined with leave of the kind due and admissible.
3. The leave account for child care leave shall be maintained in the proforma enclosed, and it shall
be kept alongwith the Service Book of the Government Servant concerned.
4. Clarifications are being sought regarding the authority competent to sanction the Child Care leave
to women employees. In this connection, the following Guidelines are issued regarding grant of
CCL to women employees.
1. Child Care Leave is to be treated as Recorded leave. The authority competent to
grant recorded leave i.e. LAP etc., is competent to sanction the CCL. The leave
application together with the sanction memorandum, if any, issued should be forwarded to
the SR& Leave section for making necessary entries. The applicants should submit their
leave applications together with documentary proof of age of the child. The applications
may be got verified from the concerned Pass declaration submitted by the employees
before leave is sanctioned.
2.

Leave cannot be claimed as of right and leave of any kind may be refused or revoked by
the authority competent to grant such leave. The leave sanctioning authority should draw a
phased programme for the grant of leave to the applicants by turns with due regard to the
priority of claims to leave at the same time ensuring adequate presence of staff for the dayto-day working so that no dislocation in the normal working of establishment is caused
particularly in respect of essential categories.

3.

In case where all applications for leave cannot, in the interest of the public service, be
granted, an authority competent to grant should, in deciding which applications should be
granted, take into the account the following considerations-

259

c.

a. The railway servants who can, for the time being best be spared
b. The amount of leave due to the various applicants.
The amount and character of the service rendered by each applicant since she last returned from leave.
d. The fact that any such applicant was compulsorily recalled from his/her last leave.
e. The fact that any such applicant has been refused leave in the public interest.
( Authority Rule 512 of IREC Vol.I)
5.
Where the leave is sanctioned at a stretch of two years the work is to be distributed among
the existing staff without resorting to adhoc promotions or payment of dual charge
allowance. Further, the workload of such of those women employees who are granted
leave shall not be outsourced under any circumstances. Creation of additional posts to
cope with the day to day work is also not permitted. However, adjustments may be made
in the cadre with existing staff with a view to avoiding dislocation of day-to-day work.
5.
Where CCL granted is in excess of 30 days a sanction memorandum should invariably be
issued duly indicating the following points :
[a]
Women employees granted CCL more than 30 days will not be eligible for Transport
Allowance. When such period of absence falls into two different calendar months
(including prefixing and suffixing holidays), reduction in Transport Allowance is to be
adjusted on pro-rata basis.
[b]
If the employee is in occupation of railway accommodation, she may be advised that
retention of railway quarters while on leave is permissible only for period not exceeding 120
days on payment of normal rent , provided the authority sanctioning the leave certifies that
the employee concerned is likely to be posted back to old station on expiry of the leave.
6.
Where CCL is allowed for the third year as leave not due (without production of medical
certificate) the period of one year in excess of CCL, will not qualify for grant of increment
and pensionary benefits.

Please refer to Boards letter of even number dated 23.10.2008 wherein Child Care Leave for
a period of two years was introduced for female Railway servants. As regards procedure for grant of
Child Care Leave ( CCL), the following clarifications are issued:i)

CCL cannot be demanded as a matter of right. Under no circumstances can any employee proceed on
CCL without prior proper approval of the leave by the leave sanctioning authority.

ii)

The leave is to be treated like the Earned leave and sanctioned as such.

iii) Consequently, Saturdays, Sundays, Gazetted holidays etc. falling during the period of leave would also
count for CCL, as in the case of Earned leave.
iv) CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her credit.
v) CCL sanctioned prior to 18.11.2008 shall be treated as CCL and shall be deducted from the Child Care
Leave account of the Railway employee concerned. No adjustment against any other kind of leave shall be
made in this regard. The Child Care Leave sanctioned for the period beyond 18.11.2008 shall be regulated
as in terms of para (iv) above.

.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board that in response to Boards letter of even
number dt. 29.10.2008, a large number of applications are being received from the Railway servants
for sanction of LAP for the purpose of availing of the benefit of encashment of LAP for 10 days.
Acceding to the requests of such a large number of Railway servants for sanction of LAP all together
is fraught with the possibility of serious disruption to train operations, which is not in the interest of the
nation. Considering the gravity of the situation, it has been decided by the Ministry of Railways that the
Railway servants who are directly engaged in running of trains viz. all the running staff including
Drivers, Assistant Drivers, Motormen, Shunters, Guards etc. and Station Masters/ Assistant Station
Masters should be exempted from the requirement of availing of passes and equal duration of LAP for
availing the benefit of encashment of 10 days of LAP. Zonal Railways are, therefore, requested to
sanction encashment of LAP upto 10 days to the categories of the Railway servants mentioned above
on receipt of requests from them in this regard without insisting on them to avail Railway Passes and
apply for LAP of equal duration.

the year upto 31.8.2008 may be allowed at the rate of
5/6 for each completed month of service.

conditions stipulated for grant of this leave.
LAP & LHAP may be credited as per the extant
practice.
CCL is to be included in the ambit of 5 years.
In terms of the provisions contained in Rule

Letter No. P[R]420/VI

Dated:28 .01.2010

ALL CONCERNED
Sub:System improvement for verification and maintenance of
Leave Accounts
Ref: This office letter of even number dated 04.12.09

Instructions of Railway Board have been circulated from time to time reiterating the need for
proper maintenance, verification and timely updating of the leave records. Despite this, preventive
checks conducted by Vigilance Branch have revealed the following irregularities in maintenance of
leave accounts resulting in overpayment :
[i]
[ii]

Leave accounts are not being updated.


While crediting/debiting of leave accounts and carrying forward the balances from one page
to another, either excess or less are shown.
[iii] While affording half yearly credit of LAP or LHAP, reduction of leave on account of EOL or
periods of absence or suspension treated as dies non in the previous half year period is not
made.
[iv] Certification of check by competent authority is not recorded.
[v] Test checks of leave records are not effectively conducted by Accounts Inspection teams
periodically to improve the system as per extant instructions.
2.

Therefore, the following instructions should be adhered to strictly:

2.1
In field units where leave records are maintained in the unit itself, the leave application
should be put up to the Sr. Supervisor / officer who is competent to sanction the leave alongwith the
leave record duly posted, who after sanctioning the leave should also initial the leave record in token
of having sanctioned the leave.
2.2
In respect of other field units, where the leave records are maintained centrally in the
divisional offices, the following procedure should be followed :
In the field offices the supervisors who are competent to sanction leave, should maintain a
register called Leave Register. This register should be page-numbered and each employee working
under him should be allotted a few pages. The registers should have columns similar to the leave
record format. The credit balance of LAP and LHAP as on 1.1.1997 should be entered in this register.
Thereafter, whenever any staff working under the senior supervisor / officer applies for leave, the
details of the leave asked for should be entered in the register. The leave applied for should
thereafter be deducted from the opening balance and the resultant balance shown in the relevant
columns. The leave application, along with the register, should be put up to the senior
supervisor/officer and they should sanction the leave only after signing the said register and making
an entry in the leave application to that effect, indicating the serial number and the page number of
the register.
3.
Para 2.3 of Boards letter circulated under Serial Circular No. 16/97 further stipulates that
Branch Officers /Personnel Officers, Supervisors and Staff and Welfare Inspectors [S&WIs] should
conduct frequent checks including surprise checks to ensure that the leave record maintenance is not

275

lagging behind and is maintained up-to-date. Accounts inspections should be conducted as per
extant instructions and leave records checked with the salary bills to ensure that there is no
discrepancy between the absentee statement and postings in the leave records /registers.
4.
Further, Board under their letter dated 24.04.03 [CPO/SCs SC No. 90/2003] enumerated the
steps to be taken to ensure effective implementation of the instructions by way of computerisation of
leave records and reflection of leave balance in the salary slips.
5.
In order to see that the leave accounts of the employees are maintained properly checks by
officers of Personnel and Accounts Departments as well as Executive officers should be intensified.
Staff & Welfare Inspectors and Accounts Inspection teams should be entrusted with the duty of
checking of leave accounts /attendance registers during their inspections. Wherever necessary, staff
should be educated on the correct procedures of maintenance of leave accounts.
6.
The above instructions should be scrupulously followed and strict action be taken against those
staff who fail to maintain the leave accounts properly.
7.

This supersedes the instructions issued under this office letter of even number dated 02.12.09.
This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

The issue regarding the entitlement of privilege and other passes in case of employees who
have been granted financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme has been under consideration.
2.
In terms of Para 16 of Annexure of Boards letter referred to above, financial upgradation
under MACP Scheme is personal to the incumbent and entitles the employee to certain benefits which
are linked to the pay drawn by the employee. Hence, the benefit of Passes/PTOs corresponding to
the next higher Grade Pay granted under MACP Scheme will be available to the employee. It is also
reiterated that the grant of financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme does not entail any change
in the designation, classification and status of an employee. Accordingly, the benefits related to higher
status inherent in the higher Pay Band and/or Grade Pay is not available to such an employee who
has been granted higher Grade Pay under the MACP Scheme.

Ref: This office letter of even number dated 04.10.2010.

Subsequent to issue of the instructions contained in Boards above referred letter regarding Child Care
Leave [CCL], the following clarifications are issued in pursuance to the clarifications issued by the Department of
Personnel & Training vide their OM No. 13018/1/2010-Estt.[Leave] dated 30.12.2010:
S.No.

Point

Clarification

Whether Leave Average Pay availed for any


purpose can be converted into Child Care Leave?
How should applications where the purpose of
availing leave has been indicated as 'Urgent
Work' but the applicant claims to have utilized the
leave for taking care of the needs of the child, be
treated?
Whether all Leave on Average Pay availed
irrespective of number of days i.e. less than 15
days, and number of spells can be converted? In
cases where the CCL spills over to the next year
(for example 30 days CCL from 27th December),
whether the Leave should be treated as one spell
or two spells?
Whether those who have availed Child Care
Leave for more than 3 spells with less than 15
days can avail further Child Care Leave for the
remaining period of the current year?

Child Care Leave is sanctioned to women employees


having minor children, for rearing or for looking after
their needs like examination, sickness etc. Hence
Leave Average Pay -availed specifically for this
purpose only should be converted.

Whether Encashment of Leave admissible in


terms of Rule
540-A Indian Railway
Establishment Code I, Volume, 1985 Edition can
be availed during Child Care Leave?

No. As the instructions contained in this office letter


dated 04.10.2010 ibid have been given retrospective
effect, all the conditions specified therein would have to
be fulfilled for conversion of the Leave on Average Pay
into Child Care Leave. In cases where the leave spills
over to the next year, it may be treated as one spell
against the year in which the leave commences.
No. As per the instructions contained in this office
letter dated 04.10.2010 ibid, Child Care Leave may not
be granted in more than 3 spells. Hence CCL may not
be allowed for more than 3 times irrespective of the
number of days or times Child Care Leave has been
availed earlier. Past cases may not be reopened.
The benefit of encashment of Leave on Average Pay
admissible in terms of Rule 540-A Indian Railway
Establishment Code, Volume I, 1985 Edition cannot be
availed during Child Care Leave as Child Care Leave is
granted for the specific purpose of taking care of a
minor child for rearing or for looking after any other
needs of the child during examination, sickness etc.

Separate orders will be issued in respect of employees who retired / died on or after 1.1.2006.
2.1
These orders apply to all pensioners/family pensioners who were drawing
pension/family pension on 1.1.2006 under the Central Civil Services [Pension] Rules, 1972,

b.
c.
d.
e.

The existing pension/family pension.


Dearness Pension, where applicable.
Dearness Relief upto AICPI [IW] average index 536 [Base year 1982=100] i.e. @ 24%
of Basic Pension / Basic Family Pension plus dearness pension as admissible vide this
Departments OM No. 42/2/2006-P&PW[G] dated 5.4.2006.
Fitment weightage @ 40% of the existing pension /family pension.
Where the existing pension in [i] above includes the effect of merger of 50% of
dearness relief w.e.f. 1.4.2004, the existing pension for the purpose of fitment weightage will
be re-calculated after excluding the merged dearness relief of 50% from the pension.
f.
The amount so arrived at will be regarded as consolidated pension /family pension
with effect from 1.1.2006.
4.2
The fixation of pension will be subject to the provision that the revised pension, in no case,
shall be lower than fifty percent of the minimum of the pay in the pay band plus the grade pay
corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired. In the case of
HAG+ and above scales, this will be fifty percent of the minimum of the revised pay scale.
4.3
Since the consolidated pension will be inclusive of the commuted portion of pension, if
any, the commuted portion will be deducted from the said amount while making monthly
disbursement.
The upper ceiling on pension / family pension laid down in the Department of Pension and
Pensioners Welfare Office Memorandum No. 45/86/97-P&PW[A] [Part-I] dated 27.10.1997 has
been increased from Rs.15,000/- and Rs.9000/- to 50% and 30% respectively of the highest pay in
the Government [The highest pay in the Government is Rs. 90,000 since 1.1.2006].
The quantum of pension /family pension available to the old pensioners /family pensioners
shall be increased as follows:
Age of Pensioners/Family pensioner

Additional quantum of pension

From 80 years to less than 85 years

20% of revised basic Pension / Family pension

From 85 years to less than 90 years

30% of revised basic Pension / Family pension

From 90 years to less than 95 years

40% of revised basic Pension / Family pension

From 95 years to less than 100 years

50% of revised basic Pension / Family pension

100 years or more

100% of revised basic Pension / Family pension

The amount of additional pension will be shown distinctly in the pension payment order. For
example, in case where a pensioner is more than 80 years of age and his/her consolidated
285

pension in terms of para 4.1 and 4.2 above is Rs.10,000 p.m., the pension will be shown as [i]
Basic Pension = Rs.10,000 and [ii] Additional Pension =Rs.2,000 p.m. The pension on
his/her attaining the age of 85 years will be shown as [i] Basic pension = Rs.10,000 and [ii]
Additional Pension =Rs.3,000 p.m.
Some of the existing pensioners who retired between 31.3.1985 and 31.12.1985 are in receipt
of personal pension. The said personal pension will continue to be granted as separate
element and will not be merged into the pension as consolidated above.
Since the consolidated pension/family pension arrived as per paragraph 4.1 includes
dearness relief upto average index level 536 [Base Year 1982=100], dearness relief will be
admissible thereon only beyond index average 536 [Base Year 1982=100] in accordance with
the revised scheme of dearness relief for which orders are being issued separately. The four
instalments of dearness relief sanctioned earlier from 1.7.2006, 1.1.2007, 1.7.2007 and
1.1.2008 in this Departments Office Memorandum No. 42/2/2006-P&PW[G] dated 15.9.2006,
Office Memorandum No. 42/2/2006-P&PW[G] dated 23.3.2007, Office Memorandum No.
42/2/2006-P&PW[G] dated 19.3.2008 respectively shall be adjusted against revised Dearness
Relief becoming due on the consolidated pension /family pension.
5.1.1 Where the consolidated pension / family pension in terms of paragraph 4 above works
out to an amount less than Rs.3500/- the same shall be stepped upto Rs. 3500/-. This will be
regarded as pension / family pension with effect from 1.1.2006. In the case of pensioners
who are in receipt of more than one pension, the floor ceiling of Rs.3500/- will apply to the
total of all pensions taken together.
5.1.2 Where the disability pension under the CCS[EOP] Rules is drawn in addition to invalid
pension under the CCS[Pension] Rules, 1972, the minimum limit of Rs.3500/- will apply to
total of two pensions as indicated in paragraph 5.1. Where the disability pension is drawn in
isolation, the minimum limit of Rs.3500/- will apply for 100% disability. For lesser degree of
disability the minimum limit will be proportionately less.
6.
The employed/re-employed pensioners/family pensioners are not getting dearness
relief on pension at present under the extant orders. In their case of notional dearness relief
which would have been admissible to them but for their employment / re-employment will be
taken into account for consolidation of their pension in terms of paragraph 4.1 above as if they
were drawing the dearness relief. Their pay will be re-fixed w.e.f. 1.1.2006 with reference to
consolidated pension becoming admissible to them. Dearness relief beyond 1.1.2006 will,
however, not be admissible to them during the period of employment / re-employment.
7.
The cases of Central Government employees who have been permanently absorbed
in public sector undertakings /autonomous bodies will be regulated as follows:
a.

Pension:

Where the Government servants on permanent absorption in public sector undertakings/


autonomous bodies continue to draw pension separately from the Government, the pension of
such absorbees will be updated in terms of these orders. In cases where the Government
servants have drawn one time lump sum terminal benefits equal to 100% of their pensions
and have become entitled to the restoration of one-third commuted portion of pension as per
Supreme Court Judgement dated 15.12.1995, their cases will not be covered by these orders.
b.

Family Pension:

In cases where on permanent absorption in public sector undertakings/autonomous bodies,


the terms of absorption permit grant of family pension under the CCS[Pension] Rules, 1972
or the corresponding rules applicable to Railway Employees /members of All India Services,
the family pension being drawn by family pensioners will be updated in accordance with these
orders.
8. All Pension Disbursing Authorities including Public Sector Banks handing disbursement of
pension to the Central Government pensioner are hereby authorized to pay pension / family
pension to existing pensioners / family pensioners at the consolidated rates in terms of para
286

4.1 above without any further authorization from the concerned Accounts Officers /Head of
office etc. A table indicating the existing basic pension /family pension without Dearness
Pension, the basic pension/family pension with Dearness pension and the revised
consolidated pension /family pension is enclosed for ready reference [Annexure-I]. This table
may be used where the pensioner is in receipt of a single pension only. Where a pensioner is
in receipt of more than one pension, consolidation may be done separately in terms of
paragraph 4.1 and as indicated in paragraph 5 floor ceiling of Rs.3500/- may be applied to
total pension from all sources taken together. Wherever the age of pension /family pensioner
is available on the pension payment orders, the additional pension /family pension in terms of
para 4.5 may also be paid by the pension disbursing authorities immediately without any
further authorization from the concerned Accounts Officer/ Head of Office, etc. A suitable
entry regarding the revised consolidated pension shall be recorded by the pension Disbursing
Authorities in both halves of the Pension Payment Order. An intimation regarding
disbursement of revised pension may be sent by the pension disbursing authorities to the
office of CPAO and Accounts Officer which has issued the PPO in the form given at
Annexure-II so that the latter can update the Pension Payment Order Register maintained by
him. An acknowledgement shall be obtained by the Pension Disbursing Authorities from
Office of CPAO and the respective Accounts officers in this behalf.
9.
The consolidated pension /family pension as worked out in accordance with provisions
of Para 4.1. above shall be treated as final Basic Pension with effect from 1.1.2006 and shall
qualify for grant of Dearness Relief sanctioned thereafter.
10.
40% of the arrears of pension will be paid in the year 2008-09 and the remaining 60%
in the year 2009-10.
11.
It shall be the responsibility of the Head of the Department of the Ministry, Department,
Office, etc., from which the Government servant had retired or where he was working prior to
is demise to revise the pension / family pension of all pensioners / family pensioners with
effect from 1st January 2006 in accordance with the provisions mentioned in para 4.1 and 4.2
above and to issue revised Pension Payment Order [PPOs]. Action to revise pension /family
pension in terms of these provisions shall be initiated suo moto by the concerned Heads of
Departments. In the case of the Defence Civilian Employees, however, the procedure
prescribed in this regard by the Ministry of Defence shall be followed. It is emphasised that
the Pension Sanctioning Authority, in no case, will as the pensioner / family pensioner to
surrender his /her original Pension Payment Order [PPO] for issuing revised authority. In
case, however, the age of pensioner /family pensioner is not available on the PPO/office
records, the same shall be obtained from the pensioner / family pensioner and indicated in the
revised PPO. The authenticity of the age declared by the pensioner / family pensioner shall
be verified by the pension sanctioning authority. It may also be ensured that a copy of the
revised PPO should be invariably endorsed to the pensioner /family pensioner.
12.
It is considered desirable that the benefit of these orders should reach the pensioners
as expeditiously as possible. To achieve this objective, it is desired that all Pension
Disbursing Authorities should ensure that the revised pension and the first instalment of
arrears due to the pensioners in terms of para 4.1. and para 4.5. above is paid to the
pensioners or credited to their account by 30th September, 2008 or before, positively.
Instructions regarding release of second instalment of arrears will be issued later. Concerted
efforts should be made by all the authorities concerned to ensure that the revised PPOs are
issued, wherever necessary, with the utmost expedition in terms of para 4.1 and 4.2 and 4.5
above and arrears are paid in terms of para 10 above and arrears are paid in terms of para 10
above within two months from the date of issue of this O.M.
13.
In their application to the persons belonging to Indian Audit and Accounts Department
these orders issue in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
14. Ministry of Agriculture etc, are requested to bring the contents of these Orders to the
notice of Controller of Accounts/Pay and Accounts Officers and Attached and

Para 5.2 to Para 5.4
Whether the recommendation of the
Sixth CPC for payment of pension
at 50% of the average emoluments
received during the last 10 months
or the pay last drawn, whichever is
more beneficial to the retiring
employees, will also take effect from
2nd September,2008

Clarification/modification

(i) Yes. The Sixth Central Pay Commission has recommended


in para 5.1.33 of its Report that linkage of full pension with 33
years of qualifying service should be dispensed with. Once an
employee renders the minimum pensionable service of 20
years, pension should be paid at 50% of the average
emoluments received during the past 10 months or the pay last
drawn, whichever is more beneficial to the retiring employee. In
para 6.5.3, the Commission has recommended that the
recommendation regarding payment of full pension on
completion of 20 years of qualifying service will take effect only
prospectively for all Government employees other than PBORs
in Defence Forces from the date it is accepted by the
government. The recommendation in para 5.1.33 is to be taken
as one package and in view of para 6.5.3 of the report of Sixth
CPC, the whole recommendation in para 5.1.33 has been given

prospective effect.
(ii)
It is, however, clarified that the pension of a post
1.1.2006 pensioner shall also not be lower than fifty percent of
the sum of the minimum of the pay in the pay band and the
grade pay ( or 50% of the minimum of the scale in the case of
HAG+ and above) from which the pensioner has retired. For
example, if a pensioner has retired in the grade pay of
Rs.10,000/- p.m in the pay band of Rs.37,400-67,000, his
minimum guaranteed pension would be 50% of Rs.37,400 +
10,000 i.e., Rs.23,700). For those who have retired between
1.1.2006 and 2.9.2008, the pension will be reduced pro-rata,
where the pensioner had less than the maximum required
service for full pension as per rule 69 of Railway Services
(Pension) Rules,1993, as applicable during that period and in
no case it will be less than Rs.3500 p.m. In case the pension
calculated in accordance with rule 69 of Railway Services
(Pension ) Rules,1993 as applicable before 2.9.2008, is higher
than the pension calculated in the manner indicated above, the
same (higher pension) will be treated as Basic Pension.

Para 5.7 and Para 8.3


Whether the additional pension/
family pension available to old
pensioners would be payable from
the date of attaining the age of 80
years or above or from the first day
of the month in which the date of
birth falls.

4.

The additional quantum of pension / family pension, on attaining


the age of 80 years and above, would be admissible from the 1 st
day of the month in which his date of birth falls. For example, of a
pensioner / family pensioner completes age of 80 years in the
month of August, 2008, he will be entitled to additional pension /
family pension w.e.f. 1.8.2008.
Those pensioners / family
pensioners whose date of birth is 1st August, will also be entitled to
additional pension/ family pension w.e.f. 1.8.2008 on attaining the
age of 80 years and above.

Para 8.2
Whether the period of 10 years for
payment of enhanced family
pension would also apply in the
case of a Railway servant who died
before 1.1.2006 and in respect of
whom the family was receiving
enhanced family pension as on
1.1.2006.
Para 10.1
[a] Whether the Constant Attendant
Allowance is payable from 1.1.2006
or from 2.9.2008
[b] Whether the pensioners who
retired on disability pension before
1.1.2006 would also be entitled to
Constant Attendant Allowance

The Railway servants who retired
within 10 months from 1.1.1996
were allowed the benefit of notional
increase of 40% on the pre-1996

calculation of average emoluments.
Whether similar benefit would be
given in the case of Railway
servants who have retired within 10
months from the date of coming
over to the revised Pay structure
after 1.1.2006.

Yes. The period of 10 years for payment of enhanced family


pension will count from the date of death of the Railway servant.
These orders will, however, not apply in a case where the period
of seven years for payment of enhanced family pension has
already been completed as on 1.1.2006 and the family was in
receipt of normal family pension on that date.

[a] Constant Attendant Allowance is payable from 1.1.2006


[b] Yes, the pensioners who retired on disability pension before
1.1.2006 and fulfilling the conditions mentioned in para 10.1 would
also be entitled to Constant Attendant Allowance.
[c] No.

For the purpose of computing average emoluments in the case of


Railway servants who have opted for fixation of pay in the revised
Pay Band and retire within 10 months from the date of coming
over to the revised Pay Band, basic pay for 10 months period
preceding retirement shall be calculated by taking into account pay
as follows:
[i] For the period during which pay is drawn in revised Pay

A copy of Board's letter No.F[E] III/ 2008/PN1/6 dated 15.10.2008, RBE No. 115/2008 is
published for information, guidance and necessary action. regarding implementation of VI Central
Pay Commission recommendations i.e. Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules,2008 is published.

Sub: Institution of proceedings against retired Railway servants under rule 9 of
Railway Services(Pension) Rules,1993 release of pensionary benefits reg.

In terms of Rule 9 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993, a railway servant against whom
departmental or judicial proceedings instituted before his retirement are pending finalization on the
date of his retirement, after the final retirement of the railway servant such proceedings shall be
deemed to be proceedings under Rule 9 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993 and he shall be
paid provisional pension from the date of retirement upto the date on which final orders are passed by
the competent authority after the conclusion of departmental or judicial proceedings.
2.
An instance has come to the notice of the Board in that a retired railway servant of a Zonal Railway
was issued a Charge Memorandum under Rule 9 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993 after his
retirement. Though a decision had been taken before his retirement in consultation with Central Vigilance
Commission to proceed against him under Railway Servants ( Discipline & Appeal) Rules,1968 which, due
to unavoidable circumstances, could not be implemented before his retirement. However, on his retirement
the Railway sanctioned him only the provisional pension. The retired railway servant requested for sanction
of final pension and payment of commutation value on the grounds that as on the date of retirement no
disciplinary proceedings were pending against him nor he was under suspension.
3.
Considering the seriousness of the issue as it involved an important question of policy and
interpretation of Rule 9 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993 and Rule 4 of Railway Services
( Commutation of Pension) Rules,1993, the matter has been examined in consultation with the Department
of Pension & Pensioners Welfare and it is clarified that a railway servant against whom any departmental
or judicial proceedings are not pending on the date of retirement or he is not placed under suspension on

300

the date of retirement, shall not be denied the final pensionary benefits, including commutation of pension,
as may be due to him in accordance with provisions contained in Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993.

Date: 21 -112008
Copy of Board's letter No.F(E)III/2003/PN1/5 dated 4.11.2008 is published for information,
guidance and necessary action. Boards letter dated 9.5.2005 quoted therein was circulated as SC

Sub: Grant of Compassionate Allowance


.
In terms of proviso to Rule 65(1) of Railway Services(Pension) Rules,1993, the authority
competent to dismiss or remove a Railway servant from service may, if the case is deserving of
special consideration, sanction a Compassionate allowance not exceeding two-thirds of pension or
gratuity or both which would have been admissible to him if he had retired on compensation pension.
This is the discretionary power vested in the authority competent to dismiss or remove a railway
servant, to be exercised by that authority suo-motu, at the time of passing orders of dismissal or
removal from service or immediately thereafter.
2.
Para 1 of Boards letter of even number dated 9.5.2005 stipulates that past cases where the
competent authority, in exercise of its discretionary powers, had not sanctioned compassionate
allowance at the time of passing orders of removal/dismissal or immediately thereafter, cannot be
reopened for review on the basis of representations received from the removed/dismissed employees
and members of their family at a later date. In this connection, a number of representations have been
received from different quarters for reviewing deserving genuine cases where the competent authority
had not passed specific orders for or against grant of compassionate allowance. The issue has also
been raised in DC/JCM Meeting held in December, 2007.
3.
The matter has, therefore, been considered by the Board in consultation with Department of
Pension and Pensioners Welfare and it has been decided to reiterate that in cases where a decision
has already been taken by the disciplinary authority not to grant compassionate allowance, such a
decision is final, which should not be reviewed at any later stage. However, in partial modification of
Boards letter dated 09.05.2005, it has also been decided by the Board that out of the past cases in
which the disciplinary authority had not passed any specific orders for or against grant of
compassionate allowance, if any case appears to be deserving for consideration being given, may be
reviewed by the disciplinary authority concerned on receipt of representations of dismissed/removed
employees or the family members of the deceased employees keeping in view the following
conditions:
(i)
Only those past cases can be reviewed where records pertaining to D&A proceedings and
Service records are available. D&A proceedings are essential to take a fair decision duly considering
the gravity of the offence and other aspects involved therein and to confirm that the question of
sanction or otherwise of compassionate allowance was not considered by the competent authority at
any stage. Service records are essential to adjudge the kind of service rendered by the
dismissed/removed employee and to determine the net qualifying service for working out the quantum
of compassionate allowance, if sanctioned.
(ii)
Each case will have to be considered on its merits and conclusion reached on the question
whether there were any extenuating factors associated with the case that would make the punishment
of dismissal/removal, which though imposed in the interest of the Railways, appear unduly hard on the
individual.
(iii)
Not only the grounds on which the Railway servant was removed/dismissed, but also the kind
of service rendered should be taken into account.
(iv)
Award of compassionate allowance should not be considered if the Railway servant had been
dishonest, which was a ground for his removal/dismissal.
(v)
Though poverty is not an essential condition precedent to the award of compassionate
allowance, due consideration can be made of the individuals spouse and children dependent upon him.

312

4.
On review of such cases, if the competent authority sanctions compassionate allowance to a
dismissed/removed Railway servant, the same shall be effective from the date of removal/dismissal. In
case the competent authority decides to sanction family pension to the spouse or eligible family
member of the deceased Railway servant, compassionate allowance shall be sanctioned notionally
from the date of dismissal/removal to make the family eligible for family pension and in such cases
family pension shall be payable for the period commencing from the date following the date of death of
the removed/dismissed Railway servant.

the Headquarters and Divisions/other offices to monitor the progress of revision of pension
by Pension Sanctioning Authorities and submission of the cases to Associate Accounts
Offices. The progress made in the revision of pension cases showing number of cases
due for revision; cases revised and sent to Accounts should be monitored on weekly basis
by the CPO to ensure that target laid down by DOP&PW is strictly adhered to. The CPOs
should report the position in the monthly d.o. to MS.
FA&CAOs should nominate Dy.CAO in charge of pension work at HQ Office and head of
Accounts Offices at Division/Workshops etc. to monitor progress of the cases so received
from Personnel Department and ensure that these are scrutinized and revised Pension
Payment Advices are issued within a weeks time. The nominated officers should report
the progress to FA&CAOs fortnightly, reporting the position of cases received, cleared and
pending in Accounts Offices, alongwith reasons for delays in disposal of these cases. The
position of the cases received in Accounts should be reconciled with the Personnel
Department and a certificate to this effect, be invariably recorded in the report before
advising the position to FA&CAO. The FA&CAOs should report the progress of clearance
of cases received in Accounts Offices to FC(Rlys) in their MCDOs alongwith reasons for
delay in finalization of pending cases.

Sub: Implementation of Governments decision on the recommendations of the Sixth

3.10.2008.
A large number of representations are being received in this Department regarding delay in
payment of pension/family pension and arrears to the pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners. The
matter has been reviewed in consultation with all concerned including the pension disbursing banks. In
this connection, the following revised instructions are issued for implementation by all concerned.
Wherever, the pension is disbursed through Public Sector Banks, the Banks will pay and
disburse the pension and arrears in accordance with the ready reckoner and also the additional
pension to old pensioners/family pensioners (wherever the date of birth is available in the PPO) within
a week from the date of issue of this OM.
A revised concordance table (Annexure-I) of the pre-1996, pre-2006 and post-2006 pay
scales/pay bands is enclosed to facilitate payment of revised pension/family pension in terms of para
4.2 of the OM dated 1.9.2008 (as clarified vide OM dated 3.10.2008) in all cases where fixation of
pension under that provision is more beneficial. Some illustrations for calculation of pension/family
pension in terms of para 4.2 ibid have been given in Annexure II. It will be the responsibility of the
pension disbursing public sector banks to revise and disburse the enhanced pension and arrears in
terms of para 4.2 of the OM dated 1.9.2008. Dearness relief at the rates notified from time to time will
also be admissible on such revised pension. All the pension disbursing public sector banks are
requested to revise and disburse the enhanced pension (with dearness relief) and arrears in terms of
para 4.2 of the OM dated 1.9.2008 within one month from the date of issue of this OM. A suitable entry
regarding the revised pension shall be recorded by the pension Disbursing Authorities in both halves
of the Pension Payment Order. An intimation regarding disbursement of revised pension may be sent
by the pension disbursing authorities to the office of CPAO and Accounts which had issued the PPO in
the revised Form given at Annexure III so that they can verify the pension so revised and update the
Pension Payment Order Register, etc. An acknowledgement shall be obtained by the Pension
Disbursing Authorities from office of CPAO and the respective Accounts Officers in this behalf.
In case any information regarding date of birth, scale of pay or the qualifying service, etc. is
not available with the bank, the bank may obtain the requisite information from the concerned Pay and
Accounts Officer/CPAO. It will be the responsibility of the concerned Pay and Accounts Officer/CPAO
to provide the information from the available records within two weeks of the receipt of request from
the bank.
Suitable guidelines on the methodology to be adopted for payment of additional pension to old
pensioners in cases where the date of birth is not available in the PPO as well as in the office records
of CPAO/Pay and Accounts Office will be issued separately.
CGA/CPAO will devise their own monitoring mechanism to ensure that enhanced pension and
arrears are disbursed to all civil/pensioners/family pensioners by 30.11.2008 positively. Similarly
instructions may be issued by Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Railways to their concerned
Accounts Department accordingly.

Instructions were issued vide Boards letter No. F[E]III/94/PN1/28 dated 01.11.1994
inter-alia providing that where the payment of DCRG has been delayed beyond 3 months from
the date of retirement, interest at the rate applicable to SRPF deposits [then 12 per cent per
annum, compounded annually] will be paid to retired / dependents of deceased Railway servant.
Subsequently, instructions were issued in supersession of earlier instructions dated 01.11.1994,
vide Boards letter of even number dated 27.06.2002 wherein the provision for payment of
interest on delayed payment of DCRG was simply reiterated without mentioning therein the
words compounded annually.
2.
In this regard, a point has been raised under RTI Act, 2005 as to whether the manner of
calculation of interest on delayed payment of gratuity has been changed from compound to
simple interest consequent upon issue of Boards letter dated 27.6.2002. Since Boards
aforementioned instructions were based on the corresponding instructions issued by the
Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, the matter has been examined in consultation
with that Department and it is clarified that there is no change in the manner of calculation of
interest on delayed payment of gratuity i.e. interest should be calculated at the rate applicable
to SRPF deposits compounded annually.
3.
The Zonal Railways etc. are advised that past cases, where simple interest has been paid,
may be re-opened and the difference between simple interest and compound interest may be paid.

3.
In view of the provisions of Rule 33 and 34 of CCS [Pension] Rules, 1972 [Rule 49

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The undersigned is to invite a reference to this Departments earlier OM No. 1/17/86
P&PW dated 29th August, 1986 and the subsequent clarifications issued vide OM No.
1[17]86 P&PW[E] dated 18th February, 1993 and OM No. 1/17/86-P&PW[C] dated 25 th
January, 1991, detailing instructions regarding grant of family pension to the eligible family
members of the Government servants who have suddenly disappeared and whose
332

whereabouts are not known, within a period of one year from the date of registration of an
FIR with the police.
2.
The Staff side on the National Council [JCM] have been raising for quite some time
the issue concerning withdrawal of the mandatory condition of one year reckoned from the
date of filing of FIR with the police, prescribed in regard to sanction of family pension to the
eligible family members of the Government employees who are kidnapped by
insurgents/terrorists. The demand of the staff side is based on the premise that this kind of
stipulation in the rules has been causing a great deal of hardship to the families of such
kidnapped employees.
3.
The matter has been considered in this Department in consultation with the Ministry of
Finance [Deptt. Of Expenditure]/ Ministry of Law. It has now been decided that the family
pension to the eligible family members of the Government employees kidnapped by
insurgents/terrorists, may be sanctioned after a period of six months from the date of registration
of FIR with the police. The instructions concerning grant / disbursal of retirement or death
gratuity, as contained in this Departments OM referred to above, would remain the same.

Subject: Representations regarding.
The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with the instructions contained in
this Departments O.M. No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 2.9.2008 as clarified vide O.M. dated
11.12.2008, those Government servants, who retired during 1.1.2006 to 1.9.2008 after
completion of 33 years of qualifying service, will be eligible for full pension (i.e. 50% of the
emoluments (pay last drawn) or 50% of average emoluments received during the last 10 months,
whichever is more beneficial to the retiring employee) and the pension of those Government
servants, who retired before 2.9.2008 with qualifying service of less than 33 years, will continue
to be proportionate to the full pension based on their actual qualifying service.
2.
A large number of representations/references are being received in this Department
mentioning that the above provisions are not in accordance with the law laid down by the
Apex Court and are in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution. It has been suggested in
these representations that the provision regarding payment of full pension on completion of
20 years qualifying service may be made applicable to the Government employees who
retired before 2.9.2008 also.
3.
These representations/references have been examined in consultation with Ministry
of Finance and Ministry of Law. The instructions/clarifications issued in this regard are in
consonance with the decision of the Government on the recommendations of the Sixth
Central Pay Commission. The Government by accepting various recommendations of the
Sixth Pay Commission took a policy decision to implement them from difference dates. The
Government decided to implement the above recommendations regarding pension from
2.9.2008 without dividing a single homogenous class of pensioners into two groups and
subjecting them to different treatment. In view of the above and also in the light of the various
decisions of the Honble Supreme Court allowing the employer to fix a cut off date for
introducing any new pension/retirement scheme or for discontinuance of any existing
scheme, the decision of the Government in para 1 above is in accordance with the law laid
down by the Apex Court and there is no violation of Article 14 of the Constitution.
4.
In view of the above, no change is required to be made in the instructions already
issued in this regard.
5.
All references/representations received in this Department on the above issue stand
disposed off accordingly.

of DOP&PW O.M. No.38/37/08-P&PW[A] dated 01.09.2008 on the above subject was
circulated. The OM ibid envisages that HOD of the Ministry /Department etc. from which the

335

Government servant had retired would issue revised Pension Payment Order. Subsequently,
vide OM of the same number dated 14.10.2008, circulated under Boards letter No.
F[E]III/2008/PN1/12 dated 18.11.2008, Pension Disbursing Banks have been authorized to
revise the pension /family pension in accordance with the consolidation table and to set up the
same, wherever needed. These instructions also provide for making suitable entry regarding
the revised amount of pension /family pension in both halves of PPOs by the Pension
Disbursing Authorities under intimation to the Accounts Officer, who issued the PPO, so that
the latter will verify the pension so revised and update the PPO register etc.
In this regard a number of references were received from various Zonal Railway
Administrations seeking clarifications as to whether revised PPOs are still required to be
issued by respective Departments in all cases of pre-2006 retirees on the ground that issue
of PPOs by them will lead to duplication of work and other difficulties due to change of their
address and account number to 16 digit by the banks ( owing to introduction of Core Banking
System) etc. In view of above, DOP&PW was requested to examine the issue and clarify as
to whether revised PPOs are still required to be issued by the Pension Sanctioning
Authorities. In this regard DOP&PW has clarified that as per their O.M. dated 14.10.2008, all
pension disbursing banks are required to revise and disburse the enhanced pension ( with
dearness relief) and arrears and record a suitable entry regarding the revised pension in both
halves of Pension Payment Order. Further, an intimation regarding disbursement of revised
pension would be sent by the banks to the office of Accounts Officer which had issued the
PPO in the prescribed form ( Annexure III) of the letter ibid so that they could verify the
pension so revised and update the Pension Payment Order Register, etc. It has been
mentioned in the said annexure that the verification/final revision of pension/family pension in
respect of pensioners would be done by the Accounts Officer concerned, Accordingly, in
cases where the information ibid has been received by the Accounts Officer from the banks,
he should verify the same and arrange to issue a revised authority in association with
Pension Sanctioning Authority for payment of pension and if there is any discrepancy in the
revision of pension by the Bank, the bank should be informed for making necessary
adjustment. In cases where the information has not been received from the banks the
Accounts Officer should arrange to issue revised authority in association with Pension
Sanctioning Authority and send it to Bank for making the payment of pension accordingly. In
case of difficulties/problems faced by the Railways in revision of PPAs due to non-updation
of essential details of pensioners, the same may be called for from the pensioners through
news paper advertisements ( sample copy enclosed.)
Necessary action may be taken accordingly.

On introduction of the New Pension Scheme, among others, the Central Civil Services
[Pension] Rules, 1972 and the Central Civil Services [Extraordinary Pension] Rules were
amended on 30.12.2003. Under the amended Rules, the benefits of Invalid Pension /Disability

Ministry of Finance [Department of Economic Affairs] has subsequently clarified that
the New Pension Scheme is a replacement for only pension under normal circumstances
and family pension in case of death of employees after retirement.
4.
A High Level Task Force [HLTF] constituted by the Government has recommended
certain additional benefits that can be provided on death or discharge on invalidation / disability
of a Government servant covered by the New Pension Scheme. It is likely to take some time
before the Rules regulating these benefits under the New Pension System are put in place.
5.

Meanwhile, considering the hardships being faced by the employees appointed on or

The above provisional payments will be adjusted against the payments to be made in
accordance with the Rules framed on the recommendations of the HLTF and recoveries, if
any, will be made from the future payments to be made on the basis of those rules.
7.
The recommendations of the HLTF envisage payment of various benefits on death

<><><>
The undersigned is directed say that in this Departments OM of even number dated
14.10.2008, all the pension disbursing public sector banks were requested to revise and
disburse the enhanced pension (with dearness relief) and arrears within one month from the
date of issue of that O.M. It was mentioned that a suitable entry regarding the revised
pension would be recorded by the pension Disbursing Authorities in both halves of the
Pension Payment Order and an intimation regarding disbursement of revised pension would
be sent by the pension disbursing authorities to the Office of CPAO and Accounts Officer
which had issued the PPO in the revised form given at Annexure III of the said OM so that
they could verify the pension so revised and update the Pension Payment Order Register,
etc. In Annexure III, it was mentioned that the verification/final revision of pension/family
pension in respect of pensioners would be done by the Pay and Accounts Officer concerned.
2.
Accordingly, in cases where the information in Annexure III has been received by the
Pay and Accounts Officer from the Pension Disbursing Banks etc. he should verify the same
and issue a revised authority for payment of pension. In case there is any discrepancy in the
revision of pension by the Bank, the bank should be informed by the Pay and Accounts
Officer immediately for making necessary adjustment. In cases where the information in
Annexure III has not been received by the Pay and Accounts Officer from the Bank, the Pay
and Accounts Officer should issue revised authority for payment of pension based on the
PPO/available records and send it to Bank for making the payment of revised pension
accordingly.
3.
In the aforesaid OM dated 14.10.2008, it was provided that in case any information
regarding date of birth, scale of pay or the qualifying service, etc was not available with the
bank, the bank may obtain the requisite information from the concerned Pay and Accounts

from the Ist January of the year following the year in which the pensioners/family pensioner

pension/family pension shall be paid from the 1st January of the year following the year in
which the pensioner/family pensioner has completed the age of 80 years, 85 years, etc.
based on the document submitted by the pensioner/family pensioner. For example, if the
copy of the Election ID card submitted by the pensioner/family pensioner indicates that
his/her age on 1st January,2007 is 80 years, he/she shall be allowed additional
pension/family pension from 1st January,2007.
6.
The Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will make payment of additional
pension/family pension in the above manner, on provisional basis, up to a period of three
months from the month in which the proof of age/date of birth is submitted by the
pensioner/family pensioner. In such cases, the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will
immediately send one copy each of the document submitted by the pensioner/family
pensioner to the Pay and Account Officer/CPAO for formal authorization of the additional
pension/family pension. The Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will make payment of
additional pension/family pension beyond a period of three months only on receipt of such an
authorization from the Pay and Account Officer.

mentioned in para 5 above but claims additional pension based on some other documentary
evidence, such cases will be submitted to the administrative Ministry. If the administrative
Ministry is satisfied about the claim of the pensioner/family pensioner, it will authorize

The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with para 4.2 of this Departments
OM No. 38/37/08-P&PW[A] dated 1.9.2008 [as clarified vide OM dated 3.10.2008 and 14.10.2008],
the revised pension of pre-2006 pensioners shall, in no case, be lower than fifty percent of the
minimum of the pay in the pay band plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale
from which the pensioner had retired. In the case of HAG+ and above scales, this will be fifty
percent of the minimum of the revised pay scale. Clarifications have been sought by Ministries
/Departments to whether Non-Practising Allowance [NPA] is to be added to the minimum of the
revised pay band plus the grade pay /revised pay scale while considering stepping up consolidated
pension on 1.1.2006. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Finance
[Department of Expenditure].
2.
On implementation of the recommendations of Fifth Central Pay Commission, NPA was
not added to the minimum of the revised scale of pay as on 1.1.1996 in cases where
consolidated pension / family pension was to be stepped up to 50% / 30% respectively. Honble
Supreme Court , in its judgement dated 10.10.2006 in Transfer Case [civil] 72 of 2004 Col.
[Retd] B.J. Akkara vs. UOI & others, upheld the validity of OM dated 11.9.2001 of Ministry of
Defence not allowing the benefit of NPA in the case of retired medical officers of Armed Forces
346

to be added to the minimum of revised scale of pay as on 1.1.1996 corresponding to the scale of
pay held by the pensioner at the time of his retirement. Honble Supreme Court held that the
NPA is not the part of minimum of the revised pay scale as on 1.1.1996.
3.
NPA granted to medical officers does not form part of the Pay Bands / scales of pay.
It is a separate element although it is taken into account for the purpose of computation of
pension. It is, therefore, clarified that in the case of pre-2006 pensioners NPA is not to be
added to the minimum of the revised pay band + Grade pay / revised pay scale in cases
where consolidated pension /family pension as on 1.1.2006 is to be stepped up to 50% /30%
respectively, in terms of para 4.2 of Department of Pension and PWs OM No. 38/37/08P&PW[A] dated 1.9.2008 [ as clarified vide OM dated 3.10.2008 and 14.10.2008].
4.
It is impressed upon all the Ministries / Departments of the Government of India to
keep in view the above clarifications while disposing of the cases of revision of pension /
family pension. They are also advised to dispose the representations received by them from
pensioners on the above issues without referring them to this Department.

Sub: Family Pension Extension of the scope of Family Pension to the dependent disabled
siblings [i.e. brothers/sisters] of Central Government servants / Pensioners-reg.
***
The undersigned is directed to say that as per the existing provisions in Rule 54[14]
of the CCS[Pension] Rules, 1972, read with various orders/ instructions issued by this
Department in this regard from time to time, the following are presently covered in the
definition of family in relation to a Government servant / Pensioners for the purpose of
eligibility of family pension:
350

a]
b]
c]
d]
e]

Wife in the case of a male Government servant, or husband in the case of a female
Government servant.
A judicially separated wife or husband, such separation not being granted on the
ground of adultery and the person surviving was not held guilty of committing
adultery.
Son/Daughter upto the date of his/her marriage or till the date he/she starts earning,
or till the age of 25 years, whichever is the earliest;
Unmarried/widowed/divorced daughter, upto the date of marriage/remarriage or till
the date she starts earning, whichever is the earliest; and
Parents who were wholly dependent upon Government servant when he/she was
alive provided the deceased employee has left behind neither a widow nor a child.

Further, the dependency criteria for the purpose of family pension has been revised and fixed
as the minimum family pension, alongwith the dearness relief thereon, vide this Departments
O.M. No. 38/37/08-P&PW[A] dt. 2.9.2008.
2.
Representations have been received in this Department from various quarters
requesting for extension of the scope of family pension so as to cover the dependent
disabled siblings [i.e. brothers/sisters] of Government servants/pensioners within the ambit of
family for the purpose of eligibility for family pension. The arguments advanced by the
representationists in support of their request are that the dependent disabled siblings [i.e.
brothers/sisters] are left to fend for themselves after the death of the Government
servant/pensioner on whom they were fully dependent before his/her death. They need to be
taken care of by the society and the Government as they are helpless and without any
means to manage their lives.
3.
These representations have been sympathetically examined in this Department in
consultation with other Ministries/Departments concerned. It has now been decided to
include the dependent disabled siblings [i.e. brothers/sisters] of Government
servants/pensioners in the definition of family for the purpose of eligibility for family pension.
Such disabled siblings shall be eligible for family pension for life in the same manner and
following the same disability criteria, as laid down in Rule 54 of the CCS [Pension] Rules,
1972 in the case of son/daughter of Government employees /Pensioners suffering from any
disorder or disability of mind [including mentally retarded ] or physically crippled or disabled,
so as to render him/her unable to earn a living even after attaining the age of 25 years.

years of qualifying service shall be dispensed with, with effect from 1.1.2006 instead of 2.9.2008. The

dated 2.9.2008 shall come into force with effect from 1.1.2006 and shall be applicable to the

arrears up to date of revision based on these instructions. However, no recoveries would be made in
the cases already settled.

***
A number of references have been received from the zonal Railways, etc., seeking
clarification on certain issues relating to grant of family pension to a son/daughter of a deceased
Railway employee, suffering from any disorder /disability of mind/mentally retarded or physically
crippled/disabled and is rendered incapable of earning a living even after attaining the age of 25 years,
in terms of the provisions contained in Rule 75[6] of the Railway Services [Pension] Rules, 1993. The
matter has been examined in consultation with the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare,
and the position is clarified as under:
S.No.
[a]
[b]
[c]

Clarification sought
Whether non-intimation of disability of a child by a
pensioner/spouse in is/her life time renders the
child ineligible for family pension?
Whether a disabled child would be ineligible for
family pension if his/her disability is manifested
after attaining the age of 25 years?
Whether a disabled child would be ineligible for
family pension if his/her disability is manifested
before the age of 25 years but is certified by an
authorized Medical Officer after attaining the said
age?

Clarification given
Non-intimation
of
physical/mental
handicap does not make a person
ineligible for family pension.
Disability manifesting itself after 25
years
is
also
acceptable
for
disbursement of family pension.
No.

2.
Accordingly, the Zonal Railways etc., are advised to settle cases of family pension of
sons/daughters of deceased Railway employees, suffering from any disorder/disability of
mind/mentally retarded or physically crippled/disabled and are rendered incapable of earning a living
even after attaining the age of 25 years, which were pending on the Railways for want of the above
clarification, at the earliest. While disposing of such cases, it should, however, be kept in view that
married sons and daughters, whether suffering from any disorder /disability of mind/mentally retarded
or physically crippled/disabled, are not eligible for family pension as per the extant instructions.

and allowances from the retirement gratuity of the retiring employees due to the provisions under these
rules as also various Court orders though Rule 15 of the Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993 provides
for adjustment of overpayment of pay and allowances from the DCRG. AIRF has also raised the issue
stating that withholding of settlement dues for the purpose of recovering overpayment of wages due to
wrong fixation of pay a long time ago is causing pecuniary loss and harassment to retired railway servants.
3.
The matter has been examined in consultation with the Accounts Directorate, Withholding of retirement
gratuity for the purpose only of assessing overpayment of pay and allowances and effecting recovery thereof is a
matter of concern for the retired railway servant as it causes hardship to him/her. With a view to obviate the need
of effecting recovery of overpayment of pay and allowances from the retirement gratuity, the Personnel and
Accounts Departments of the Zonal Railways are advised to undertake verification of correctness of
emoluments of Railway servants at regular intervals and one such review should be done in the beginning of the
third year preceding the date of retirement in order that irregularities in pay and allowances, if any, are rectified
and recoveries effected from the salary of the railway servant well before the retirement.

This Deptt. has received a large number of identical representations on the above subject.
The representations are from the Government servants who had drawn lump sum payment in respect
of pro-rata pension (1/3rd as well as 2/3rd) on absorption in a PSU/Autonomous Body.
2.
The Government servants who had drawn lump sum payment in respect of pro-rata pension
(1/3rd as well as 2/3 rd) on absorption in a PSU/Autonomous Body and have become entitled to
restoration of 1/3rd commuted portion of pension as per the provisions of this Departments O.M.
No.34/2/86-P&PW dated 5th March 87 after 15 years from the date of commutation or 1.4.85
whichever is later, were regulated vide this Department O.M.No.4/59/97-P&PW(D) dated 14 th July
1998 as clarified from time to time. Andhra Pradesh High Court in its judgment dated 24.12.03 in Writ
Petition No.8532 of 2003 followed by Supreme Court Judgment dated 29.11.06 in Civil Appeal
No.5269 of 2006 arising out of SLP Nos.21647-648 of 2005 and Supreme Court Judgment dated
24.7.07 in Review Petition No.643 of 07 had decided as under:
. The public sector undertaking absorbees are also entitled for dearness relief etc. but not
on entire pension commuted as on the date of retirement. Moreover they received lumpsum amount
by way of terminal benefits on surrendering of 2/3 rd pension. In that way, they have already parted with
2/3rd pension, it cannot be said to revive after 15 years. But, in case of Central government pensioners
2/3rd pension was continued to be received by them. Therefore, what is restored is 1/3 rd pension which

364

means full pension. But the same principle cannot be applied to say that the absorbee will get full
pension after 15 years in case those who had commuted 1/3 rd pension and received terminal benefits
for 2/3rd pension had he not surrendered, he continue to receive 2/3 rd pension, the same principle
apply as in case of Central Government employee. But having received the cash compensation in
respect of the surrender value of 2/3rd, he cannot be allowed to say that he is also a pensioner as far
as 2/3rd pension is concerned. Such absorbee stand on a different footing and they fall in a different
class by themselves on this issue. Under those circumstances, the inescapable conclusion is that 1/3 rd
pension has to be arrived at only on the basis of the basic pension divided by three after completion of
15 years which becomes drawable as on the date of respective dates and not to be arrived by
deducting 403/- from the pension. Therefore, the petitioner will be entitled to as follows:
Restorable Pension
From 28.06.87 to 31.12.1995
Basic Pension (604/1/3rd)
Total

From 01.01.96 onwards(5th Pay Commission)


1/3rd of Basic Pension(1,350/1/3rd)
Total

201/538/- Dearness Relief


125/- additional Benefits;
864/-

450/185/- Interim Relief


1,998/- Dearness Relief
540/- Fitment
3,173/-

In this case the employee had commuted minimum permissible pension i.e. 1/3 rd. But, even if
lesser portion is commuted, the pro-rata commuted portion has to be deducted from the basic pension
to arrive at restorable pension, but however, he will get dearness relief, interim relief etc. on full basic
pension
3.
The government had thereafter issued instructions implementing above direction of the Hon.
Court vide OM dated 6.9.2007 . O.M. dated 6.9.2007 has been issued strictly in compliance of the
direction of the Honble Supreme Court vide operative part of judgement which has been reproduced
in para 2 thereof before explaining modalities of implementation in para 3 of the above said O.M.
4.

The decision of the court has resulted in following


The restorable pension of the Government servants who had drawn lump sum
payment in respect of pro-rata pension (1/3 rd as well as 2/3rd) on absorption in a
PSU/Autonomous Body has been limited to the commuted portion only i.e. 1/3 rd of pension.

The 2/3rd pension for which terminal benefits were drawn is not to be restored.

The benefits viz. DR, DP etc are taken in full while calculating restorable 1/3 rd
pension.
Further attention is drawn to following para in Honble Supreme Courts judgement dated
26.4.2000 in Appeal No.4 in W.P.(C ) No.11855/85; WPNo.(C)345/1999 and W.P.No.567/1995 in
P.V.Sundara Rajan and Another Vs Union of India and others:The parity claimed by Lt.Col.Malhotra and other absorbees who had commuted 100% pension,
in our view, is entirely misplaced. The contention that what is commuted or given up is an amount
and not the right to receive pension or right to receive post commutation revision and attendant
benefits including dearness relief on the gross entitled pension on the dates they were granted to
other Government pensioners, is only illusory. The decision in the case of State of Tamil Nadu
and Ors. V.V.S.Balakrishnan and Ors.(1994) Suppl.3 SCC 204) on which reliance was placed by
Mr.Gopal Subramanium, Senior Advocate, has no applicability to the point in issue. Those who
commuted 100% pension continue to remain non-pensioners till their pension is restored. In
Welfare Association case (supra), persons who commuted the full pension and who will not be
given any monthly pension by deeming monthly pension to have been reduced to nil has been
treated as a separate category. Those who commute 100% pension are not entitled to the benefit
of dearness relief on full pension or other benefits as claimed herein. We also do not find any
discrimination in so far as this class is concerned.

365

All Ministries/Departments are advised that the representation, if any received on this subject,
may be dealt with accordingly.

***
The undersigned is directed to say that orders for revision of pension/family pension of pre2006 pensioners were issued vide this Departments OM of even number dated 1.9.2008. Para 4.1 of
that OM lays down the manner in which the pension/family pension of pre-2006 pensioners is to be
consolidated w.e.f. 1.1.2006. In accordance with these instructions, a fitment weightage @ 40% of the
pre-2006 basic pension/family pension [excluding the merged dearness relief of 50%] is to be given for
revision of the pension of pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners.
2.
Para 4.2 of the aforesaid OM further provides that fixation of pension will be subject to the
provision that the revised pension, in no case, shall be lower than fifty percent of the minimum of the pay in
the pay band plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had
retired. In the case of HAG+ and above scales, this will be fifty percent of the minimum of the revised pay
scale. It was clarified in the OM dated 3.10.2008 that the pension calculated at 50% of the minimum of
pay in the pay band plus grade pay would be calculated at the minimum of pay in the pay band
[irrespective of the pre-revised scale of pay] plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale.
The pension will be reduced pro-rata, where the pensioner had less than the maximum required service
for full pension as per rule 49 of the CCS [Pension] Rules, 1972 as applicable before 1.1.2006 and in no
case it will be less than
3500/- p.m. The fixation of family pension will be subject to the provision that the
revised family pension, in no case, shall be lower than thirty percent of the sum of the minimum of the pay
in the pay band and the grade pay thereon corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the
pensioner had retired. A Table indicating the revised pension based on revised pay bands and grade pay
was also annexed with this Departments OM dated 14.10.2008.
3.
A large number of representations /references were received in this Department in regard to
the provisions of para 4.2 of the OM dated 1.9.2008 and it was clarified in this Departments OM of
even number dated 11.2.2009 that the instructions /clarifications issued in this regard were in
consonance with the decision of the Government on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay
Commission and no change was required to be made in this respect.

4.
In spite of the above clarifications, representations are still being received from pre-2006
pensioners [including those who retired from the pre-revised S-29 pay scale i.e.
18400-22400] for
higher revised pension in terms of para 4.2 of the O.M. dated 1.9.2008. Representations have also

pension in terms of Para 4.1 of the said OM.

The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with Rule 33 of the CCS [Pension]
Rules, for calculation of pension, the expression emoluments means basic pay as defined in Rule
9[21] [a] [i] of the Fundamental Rules which a Government servant was receiving immediately before
his retirement or on the date of his death. In accordance with Note 3 under this rule, if a Government
servant immediately before his retirement or death while in service had been absent from duty on
extraordinary leave or had been under suspension, the period whereof does not count as service, the
emoluments which he drew immediately before proceeding on such leave or being placed under
suspension shall be the emoluments for the purposes of this rule.
2.
Doubts have been raised in regard to the manner in which the pension and other retirement
benefits of Government servants, who were on extraordinary leave / unauthorized absence /
suspension as on 01.01.2006 and retired / died thereafter without joining duty, would be regulated.
The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Finance [Department of

***
The Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare (DOP&PW) vide their O.M. No.38/37/08P&PW(A) dated 10.12.2009, circulated vide this Ministrys letter of even number dated 15.12.2009,
have dispensed with the provision relating to linkage of full pension with 33 years of qualifying service,
with effect from 01.01.2006 instead of 02.09.2008. These instructions, inter-alia, provide that the
benefit of adding years of qualifying service for the purpose of computation of pension and gratuity
shall stand withdrawn w.e.f. 01.01.2006. Simultaneously, para 4 of the said O.M. also provides that the
overall calculation, may take into account revised gratuity and revised pension, including arrears up to
the date of revision based on these instructions and that no recoveries would be made in the cases
already settled.
2.
In this connection, clarification has been sought from this office as to whether in the case of
employees who retired voluntarily during the period from 01.01.2006 to 01.09.2008, after getting the
benefit of adding years of service, the excess payment of gratuity is to be recovered or adjusted from
the arrears of pension and commuted value of additional pension arising out of implementation of the
instructions contained in DOP&PWs O.M. dated 10.12.2009 ibid. The matter has, therefore, been
examined by this Ministry in consultation with DOP&PW and it is clarified that the recovery of excess
payment of gratuity on the above account, shall be regulated as under:
S.No
1

Point
In cases where the employees retired voluntarily
after 1.1.2006 with pro-rata pension calculated for
the qualifying service less than 33 years,
pension will undergo upward revision and
additional amount of pension will also be
commutable.

372

Clarification
Excess payment of gratuity on account of
withdrawal of weightage w.e.f.01.01.06 will be
adjusted against arrears of pension (and not
commuted value of pension). However, this
adjustment will be restricted to the amount of
arrears of pension. If the recovery of gratuity is
more than the amount of arrears of pension, no

S.No
2

Point
In cases where employees retired voluntarily after
1.1.2006 after getting the benefit of adding years
of qualifying service and were granted pension @
50% of emoluments/ average emoluments, as the
case may be, due to their qualifying service having
reached 33 years, there will be no revision in the
amount of pension but the amount of retirement
gratuity will undergo a change due to exclusion of
the benefit of adding years of service, already
extended to them.

Clarification
recovery in excess of arrears of pension will be
made.
Where there is no increase of pension, no
recovery of gratuity will be made.

3. All Zonal Railways etc., are, therefore, advised to settle the cases of the employees who retired
voluntarily after 01.01.2006 but before 02.09.2008, in accordance with the above clarification.

The undersigned is directed to say that in this Departments O.M. of even number dated
21.5.2009 and 11.8.2009 it was provided that in case the information regarding date of birth/age is not
available in the PPO or the office records, certain documents would be accepted as proof of date of
birth/age for payment of additional pension/family pension on completion of age of 80 years and
above. It was also provided that the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will make payment of
additional pension/family pension in the above manner, on provisional basis, up to a period of three
months from the month in which the proof of age/date of birth is submitted by the pensioner/family
pensioner. In such cases, the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will immediately send one copy each
of the document submitted by the pensioner/family pensioner to the Pay and Accounts Officer/CPAO
for formal authorisation of the additional pension/family pension. The Pension Disbursing
Authority/Bank will make payment of additional pension/family pension beyond a period of three
months only on receipt of such an authorisation from the Pay and Account Officer.

373

2.
Certain Pension Disbursing Banks to whom the documentary proof of age was submitted by
the pensioners/family pensioners have informed that many Pay & Accounts Offices, to whom the same
is forwarded as per OM of even number dated 21.5.2009 ,have not communicated to them their final
authorisation in accordance with the above instructions. These Banks are, therefore, finding it difficult
to continue the payment of additional pension beyond three months in the absence of the formal
authorisation. The PAOs who are receiving the proof of age may get it sanctioned from HOO/HOD as
per procedure invariably. In case the pensioner/family pensioner is unable to submit any of the
documents mentioned in OMs dated 21.5.2009 and 11.8.2009 but claims additional pension based on
some other documentary evidence, such cases will be submitted to the administrative Ministry. If the
administrative Ministry is satisfied about the claim of the pensioner/family pensioner, it will authorise
additional pension/family pension accordingly. The decision of the Administrative Ministry in this
regard will be final.
3.
CGA is requested to advise all Pay & Accounts Officers to take immediate action for getting
the additional pension sanctioned from Head of Office/HODs so that the final authorisation of the
additional pension may be done by the PAOs.

Sub: Grant of family pension to the dependent family members of a
Government servant/pensioner reported missing - Reg.
***
The undersigned is to invite a reference to this Departments earlier O.M. No.1/17/86-P&PW dated 29th
August, 1986 and the subsequent clarifications issued vide O.M. No.1/17/86-P&PW(E) dated 18th February,
1993, O.M. No.1/17/86-P&PW(C) dated 25th January, 1991 and O.M. No.1/28/04-P&PW(E) dated 31st March,
2009, detailing therein instructions concerning grant of family pension to the eligible family members of the
Government servants/Pensioners who have suddenly disappeared and whose whereabouts are not known, after
a period of one year, or Government servants who have been kidnapped by insurgents/ terrorists, after a period
of six months, reckoned from the date of registration of the FIR with the Police Authorities.
2.
The staff side of the National Council (JCM) have been raising for quite some time the issue concerning
withdrawal of the mandatory condition of one year prescribed in regard to sanction of family pension to the
eligible family members of the pensioners who are reported missing while on pilgrimage, tour, etc., and sanction
the family pension to the eligible family members within a period of two months from the date of filing of the FIR
with the police. This demand of the staff side is based on the premise that this kind of stipulation in the rules has
been causing a great deal of hardship to the families of such missing pensioners.

374

3.
The matter has been considered in this Department in consultation with Ministry of Finance
(Department of Expenditure). It has been observed from the earlier instructions issued in this regard by this
Department that the same do not make any distinction between the Government servant and the
pensioners but cover both of them for the purpose of grant of family pension. It has accordingly been
decided that the family pension/retirement or death gratuity to the eligible family members of a Government
servant/Pensioner reported missing and whose whereabouts are not known, may be sanctioned after a
period of six months from the date of registration of an FIR with the Police. This, however, would be subject
to the instructions regarding grant/disbursal of retirement or death gratuity, etc., as contained in this
Departments O.M. referred to above.

This issues with the concurrence of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide their
U.O. No.367/EV/2010 dated 15.06.2010.

Sub: Inclusion of names of the widowed or divorced or unmarried daughter/
parents/ dependent disabled siblings (i.e. brothers and sisters) in the PPO
Procedure for Regarding.
***
The undersigned is directed to state that it was clarified earlier vide this Departments
O.M.No. 1/21/91-P&PW (E) dated 20.1.1993 that the revised PPO format introduced w.e.f. 1.1.1990
contains provision for entry of details of all members of the family of the pensioner. The PPOs issued
prior to 1.1.90, however, do not contain the names/ details of children of the pensioner. In cases where
the names of eligible children have not been mentioned in the PPO for various reasons, the pensioner
can furnish a list of eligible children to the pension sanctioning authority and obtain an
acknowledgement thereof from that authority. This acknowledgment will be produced at the time of
submission of family pension claim to the pension sanctioning authority. However, the production of an
acknowledgment will not be a pre-condition to the processing of claim for family pension. Even the
spouse of the dead Government servant/ pensioner can furnish the details of such Children, if not
furnished by the Government servant/pensioner earlier, to the pension sanctioning authority as
clarified vide this Departments O.M. No. 1/21/91-P&PW (E) dt. 15.1.1999.
2.
Representations have been received in this Department from Pensioners/family pensioners
and
Pensioners
Associations
indicating
the
reluctance
on
the
part
of
Ministries/Departments/Organisations to include the names of eligible family members (i.e.
widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters; parents and dependent disabled siblings (i.e. brothers and

375

sisters) in the PPO thereby delaying the sanction of family pension to such eligible family members.
This is not only a source of frustration and denial of rightful claim to such eligible family members but
at times causes undue hardship to them.
3.
With a view to streamlining and cut delays in the pension sanctioning process, it is hereby
clarified that in cases wherein eligibility of family members (i.e. divorced or widowed or unmarried
daughter/ parents/ dependent disabled siblings (i.e. brothers/sisters) occurs after issue of the PPO, the
pensioner himself or his/her spouse may intimate the details/ names of divorced or widowed or
unmarried daughter/parents/dependent disabled siblings (i.e. brothers and sisters), to the pension
sanctioning authority as per the procedure indicated in para (1) above. Similarly, in cases where the
pensioner or his/her spouse has expired, the widowed or divorced or unmarried daughter/ parents/
dependent disabled sibling can themselves intimate such details to the pension sanctioning authority.
However, the family pension in such cases can be processed by the pension sanctioning authority
even without such intimation/acknowledgment, if sufficient proof of entitlement is produced by the
claimant and all other conditions for grant of family pension are fulfilled.

***
Clarifications are being sought from this office by the Zonal Railway Administrations in
connection with the revised instructions issued by the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare
regarding grant of full pension to Government servants retiring on or after 01.01.2006, and its
applicability to those employees who are absorbed in Public Sector Undertakings/Autonomous bodies.
2.
It is informed that the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, vide their O.M. dated
10.12.2009, circulated on the Zonal Railways etc. vide this office letter of even number dated
15.12.2009, has dispensed with the linkage of full pension with 33 years of qualifying service with
effect from 01.01.2006, instead of the earlier cut off date of 02.09.2008. As such, all employees
becoming entitled to pension on completion of 10 years of qualifying service in accordance with Rule
69[2] of the Railway Services [Pension] Rules, 1993, on or after 01.01.2006, are eligible for pension
equal to 50% of the emoluments or average emoluments, whichever is more beneficial to them. With
the issue of these instructions, the concept of pro-rata pension has ceased to exist with effect from
01.01.2006. This provision is equally applicable to those employees who have been permanently
absorbed in PSUs/Autonomous Bodies and have since become entitled to monthly pension in terms of
the extant instructions.
3.

All the Zonal Railways etc. are, therefore, advised to settle the pending cases accordingly.

Sub: Emoluments reckoned for calculating retirement/ death benefits of
staff working in the Construction Organisations.
***

377

It has come to the notice of the Board that on certain Railways the retirement/death benefits of
non-gazetted Railway servants, who retire from the service of Construction Organisations, are being
sanctioned on the basis of higher amount of basic pay drawn by them on account of grant of higher grade
posts/increments on adhoc basis than the amount of basic pay that would have been admissible had they
been holding their cadre posts. This is in gross violation of the principles laid down in Boards letter
No.E(NG)i/70/SR/6/43 dated 13.3.1972. Since the higher grade posts in the Construction Organisations
are granted to the Railway servants not by virtue of their seniority in their cadre, reckoning of emoluments
drawn in the higher grade given on adhoc basis for retirement/death benefits is against the provisions
governing emoluments as contained in Railway Services (Pension) Rules,1993.
2.
Board has desired that all Zonal Railways must uniformly follow the practice of computing the
retirement/death benefits of the Railway servants retiring from Construction Organisations on the basis
of the basic pay that they would have drawn in their cadre posts as per rules. The Zonal Railways are
accordingly advised to ensure that the provisions under the Pension Rules as stated above are strictly
complied with. In cases of Railway servants where the retirement and death benefits have been
calculated in a manner contrary to the Rule position brought out in Para 1 above, the same should be
rectified by following the due procedure and recoveries effected in a phased manner so that the retired
Railway servants are not put to hardships.

The undersigned is directed to say that in this Departments O.M. of even number dated
21.5.2009 and 11.8.2009 it was provided that in case the information regarding date of birth/age is not
available in the PPO or the office records, certain documents viz., PAN Card, Matriculation certificate,
Passport, CGHS Card, Driving Licence and Voters ID card would be accepted as proof of date of
birth/age for payment of additional pension/family pension on completion of age of 80 years and
above. It was also provided that the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will make payment of
additional pension/family pension in the above manner, on provisional basis, up to a period of three
months from the month in which the proof of age/date of birth is submitted by the pensioner/family
pensioner. In such cases, the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank will immediately send one copy each
of the document submitted by the pensioner/family pensioner to the Pay and Accounts Officer/CPAO
for formal authorisation of the additional pension/family pension. The Pension Disbursing
Authority/Bank will make payment of additional pension/family pension beyond a period of three
months only on receipt of such an authorisation from the Pay and Account Officer. These instructions
were reiterated in this Departments O.M. of even number dated 25.6.2010.
2.
It has been brought to the notice of this Department that, in many cases, final authorization
could not be communicated by Pay & Accounts Offices to the Pension Disbursing Banks even after
expiry of the stipulated period of three months from the month in which the proof of age/date of birth
was submitted by the pensioner/family pensioner on account of non-receipt of sanction from the
Heads of Offices.
3.
Considering the hardship that is likely to be caused to the old pensioners/family pensioners
due to discontinuance of additional pension by the Pension Disbursing Authority/Bank in such cases, it

****
As per the provisions contained in para 9.3 of this Departments OM No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 2nd
September, 2008, the revised table of commutation value for pension will be used for all commutations of
pension which become absolute after the date of issue of this OM. In the case of those pensioners, in whose
case commutation of pension became absolute on or after 1.1.2006 but before the issue of this OM, the prerevised Table of Commutation value for pension will be used for payment of commutation of pension based on
pre revised pay/pension. Such pensioners shall have an option to commute the amount of pension that has
become additionally commutable on account of retrospective revision of pay/pension on implementation of the
recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission. On exercising such an option by the pensioner, the
revised Table of Commutation Value for pension will be used for the commutation of the additional amount of
pension that has become commutable on account of retrospective revision of pay/pension. In all cases where
the date of retirement/commutation of pension is on or after 2.9.2008, the revised Table of Commutation Value
for pension will be used for commutation of entire pension.
2.
References have been received from various Departments seeking clarification from this Department
whether the commutation value of additional pension in respect of such employees who had retired during the
period between 1.1.2006 and 2.9.2008 and died before exercising option is payable to the eligible member of
family or not. The issue has been examined in consultation with Ministry of Finance, Department of

385

Expenditure who has observed that the Pay Commissions intention was that the pensioner should exercise a
conscious choice in view of the fact that the commutation table has changed w.e.f. 1.1.2006. As such, in these
cases, the Rule 10 of CCS (Commutation of Pension) Rules, 1981 may be followed and difference in
commuted value be paid without fresh applications. The intention was not to deny the higher capitalized value
on account of revision of pension.

Representations have been received in this Department from various quarters (i.e.
Pensioners Associations, etc.) to the effect that the claims for family pension of
widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters and dependent disabled siblings are not being entertained by
certain Ministries/Departments on the plea that their names do not appear in the details of family
members submitted by the Government servant/Pension to the Head of Office from where he/she had
retired. Besides, in cases where a Government servant/Pensioner had expired prior to the issue of
above referred orders by this Department, the claims of widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters, etc.
for family pension are not being entertained by Ministries/Departments on the plea that they were not
eligible for family pension at the time of retirement/death of the Government servant or death of the
Pensioner. This Department has been requested for issue of appropriate clarificatory orders in the
matter so as to settle the family pension claims of the aggrieved widowed/divorced/unmarried

down therein, the widowed/divorced/unmarried daughter of a Government servant/Pensioner, will be
eligible for family pension with effect from the date of issue of respective orders irrespective of the date
