The Secretary (E),

 Railway Board,

New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Grant of pay fixation under Rule S-13 to the erstwhile Group 'D'  staff promoted  to same Grade Pay of Rs. 1800/- (PB-I )-reg.

Ref:      NFIR’s PNM item No. 32/2015.

During  discussions  in a separate  meeting  held on  18th  January  2016  in the chamber  of AM (Staff),  on PNM  item No.  32/2015,   the  Official  Side  have  advised  that  Federation's   demand  was  under  examination   in Board's  Office in pursuance  to Ministry  of Finance O.M. No. F-2-1/2015-E III (A) dated 16/10/2015.

Railway Board’s   attention   is invited to para 3 of MoF’s   O.M.  No.  F-2-1/20I5-E.  III   (A) dated 16th October 20 I5, wherein it has been clearly stated that

 "However,   in cases where  such  merger  of feeder  and  promotional   posts  in the wake  of their  come to lie iIi' the  Same  grade  pay  has  not  taken  place  due  to administrative    reasons  and  the  posts continue to   retain   their   promotional     and   feeder   character    as  per   the   relevant    Recruitment     Rules,   this Ministry  issued  instructions   vide OM  10/2/2011-E.III   A dated  7.1.2013  providing   for fixation  of pay on  promotion   in such  cases  under  Rule  13 of CCS  (RP)  Rules,  2008 subject   to the  conditions   laid down  therein".

From the above, it could be seen that the staff promoted from same Grade Pay to same Grade Pay are entitled to the pay fixation under Rule S 13 e.g.

(i) Track Man (GP 1800/-) to Sr. Track Man (GP 1800/-),

(ii) Track Man (GP 1800/-) to Key Man/Gate Man (GP I800/-),

(iii) Safaiwala to Hospital Attendant (GP 1800/- to GP 1800/-).

The pay fixation in the above cases in favour of staff is required to be done under Rule S 13.

Federation  further desires to state that in all similar  situations  the benefit  of S 13 should be allowed  and all past cases should be got reviewed  for extending  pay fixation benefit and consequential  benefits of arrears etc.

NFIR, therefore, urges upon the Railway Board to issue necessary instructions to GMs etc., as suggested above duly endorsing copy to the Federation.

Yours faithfully
