Initial pay fixation of re-employed ex-servicemen who held posts below Commissioned Officer Rank in Defence Forces, retired before attaining the age of 55 years and have been appointed on re-employment basis in civilian posts in Railways etc

NFIR

No. 11/35/2018
Dated: 11/04/2018
The Secretary,
Department of Personnel & Training,
North Block,
Central Secretariat,
New Delhi-110001

Dear Sir,

Sub: Initial pay fixation of re-employed ex-servicemen who held posts below Commissioned Officer Rank in Defence Forces, retired before attaining the age of 55 years and have been appointed on re-employment basis in civilian posts in Railways etc - reg.

Ref: (i) General Secretary/NFIR's letter No. I1/35/Part XIV dated 29/01/2018 addressed to the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India.
(ii) PMO ID No. PMOPG/D/2018/0044515 dated 02/02/2018 addressed to the Secretary, DoP&T and copy to the Federation.

The Federation desires to invite kind attention of the DoP&T to the reference made by the General Secretary, NFIR vide letter No. II/35/Part XIV dated 29/01/2018 (addressed to the Hon'ble Prime Minister) on the subject matter, the same has however, been forwarded by the PMO vide ID No. PMOPG/D/2018/0044515 dated 02/02/2018 for taking further action and conveying the outcome to the Federation.

In this connection, Federation once again brings to the notice of the DoP&T that injustice is being meted out to the former Defence Forces Personnel (PBORs), reemployed in Railways and other Central services on account of the fact that the pay drawn by them at the time of retirement from Defence Forces (prior to attaining 55 years age) has not been protected on their re-employment, while those retired Defence Forces Personnel on re-employment in the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) of Central/State Governments have been granted the benefit of pay fixation on the last pay drawn at the time of retirement from Armed Forces. The discrimination has resulted disappointment and frustration among the reemployed retired Armed Forces Personnel in Railways and Central Civil Services.

This subject was dealt by the National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR), at the level of Railway Ministry in the negotiating fora of PNM, demanding pay re-fixation in favour of re-employed Defence Forces Personnel on the basis of last pay drawn more particularly those who have been re-employed on and after 01/01/2006. On a reference made by Railway Ministry vide O.M. No. E(G)2013/EM 1-5 dated 07/12/2016, the DoP&T had however not agreed for reckoning last pay drawn for pay re-fixation on re-employment in railways. The Federation encloses a copy of Railway Ministry OM dated 07/12/2016 to the DoP&T and reply thereon received from DoP&T vide OM dated 21/02/2017.

Federation also states that DoP&T vide OM dated 18th Oct 2017 called for suggestions for finding single methodology for pay re-fixation of all the ex-servicemen including PBORs, commissioned officers, ex-competent clerks/storemen, NFIR vide letter of even no. dated 21/12/2017 has submitted valid suggestions to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Dept of Ex-Servicemen, Welfare, South Block, New Delhi, as follows:-
(a) Considering the crucial role of Defence Forces Personnel in safeguarding the Nation’s borders, they be given pay fixation on the basis of their last pay drawn on re-employment in the Railways and other Central Government Departments.

(b) Their pension needs to be totally ignored as the pension is the social security net provided in recognition to their loyal services to the nation.

(c) The PBORs are not the Personnel of high rankings with higher wages, therefore their case needs to be considered with sympathy and their last pay drawn at the time of retirement from armed forces, to be treated as entry pay on re-employment in Railways and Central Government Departments.

(d) Alternatively, the number of years service rendered by the PBORs in Armed Forces be taken into account for granting pay fixation duly adding the quantum of equal number of increments to the minimum pay of the re-employed post. This may be made applicable to all PBORs who have joined Central Government Departments after 01/01/2006.

(e) In those cases of PBORs retired before attaining the age of 55 years and got re-employment in Government services, their initial pay on re-employment may be fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay prescribed for the post and after fixing the pay, in case the initial pay so fixed, is found to be less than the last pay drawn in the Armed Forces, all such cases may be treated as "cases of undue hardship" and in those cases, their pay may be re-fixed at higher stage duly granting one increment for each year of service rendered in the Armed Forces in order to bring their initial pay at par with the pre-retirement pay, while their pension already drawn be continued un-altered.
NFIR, therefore, requests to kindly see that the above legitimate request of former Defence Forces Personnel is agreed to and orders issued soon. Federation also requests to kindly communicate the action taken in the matter early.

DA/As above

Yours sincerely,
S/d,
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)

33. How is field of deputation decided?

Score Normalization

About Normalization
Normalization means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale.

Need for Normalization in Exam

Exam pertaining for a particular post/course could be spread across multiple shifts which will have different question paper for each shift. Hence the normalization of scores need to be carried out for all the candidates who had written the exam, across shifts for the same post/course.
Normally, after the exam, candidates are provided a window of few days, post the publishing of question paper and the correct keys. Based on the objections raised, SMEs work on that and with customer consultation finalize to ignore some objected questions and the remaining questions will be considered for score evaluation and subsequently the score normalization.

Inputs required for score normalization process
1. Raw score report of the candidates who appeared for a particular post, across all shifts.
2. The actual number of valid questions to be considered, post the objection

Score Normalization logic
The following has to be calculated across all shifts for all the candidates who have written the exam for the same post.

Total Number of Questions (A)
Defined as the number of questions available in the question paper. (e.g. 120 questions)
As an example, ASSUME the question papers has 120 questions

Total Number of Correct Questions (B)
Defined as the number of valid questions which have to be considered for score evaluation and score normalization, post the finalization of questions after the candidates have raised objections (if any)
B = A – # questions which are removed post candidate objections
ASSUME there are 3 invalid questions in (A)
Then B = 120-3 = 117
Example: ASSUME a candidate has attempted 103 out of 117 questions, of which 98 are correct responses and 5 are wrong resonses. 14 un-attempted questions will be Blanks.

Total Correct Responses (C)
Defined as the number of responses which are answered correctly by the candidate for the total number of valid questions (B)
In the example C = 98
Candidate Score (D)

Total Correct responses (D)
In the example D = 98

Candidate Score to be considered for Normalization (E)
Consider the case where scores will be based on 120. So, score (D) of every candidate is to be prorated i.e. it has to be multiplied by the factor: 120/B
In the example E = (D/B)*100 = (98/117)*120 = 120 = 100.5128205
Now we need to calculate Average and Standard Deviation for each Shift

Calculation of Standard Deviation Example : 9 candidates attended a shift
Xav is the average which is total marks divided by no. of candidates
D or X
(raw score for 120)
X = (X-Xav)
131-341156
246-19361
340-25625
471636
56500
69025625
759-636
88419361
999341156
N = 9Total = L = ∑X = 585∑ x² = 4356

Xav = : L /No. of candidates present for that particular shift = 585 / 9 = 65
Standard Deviation = square root of ∑x²/N = square root of 4356/9 = square root of 484 = 22
Total Raw Scores for all candidates in a shift (L)
Sum of Raw candidates raw scores (X) for all candidates in a shift
L = ∑X
In the SD example L = 585
Simple Average (Xav)
Total Raw score for all candidates in a shift (L) / Total candidate (Present) count for a shift
= L /N
Standared Deviation (S)
Calculated at a shift level bases on the candidate's scores
To be calculated as explained in the example
Normalized Score for each candidate (Xn)

Xn = (S2/S1) * (X-Xav) + Yav

S2Is the SD of the shift with the Highest Average
Score taken as base for normalization
S1Standard Deviation for the corresponding shift (to
be scaled to S2)
xRaw score of a candidate
XavSimple average of the Shift
YavAverage corresponding to shift with highest Average
(taken as base for normalization)

Criteria for choosing the base for normalization is generally taken as the shift with 'Highest Average' of raw scores. Only exception is made if this shift (with highest average) has far less number of candidates as compared to other shifts. In that case we take the next shift with 'highest Average' as base for normalization.

70% of the average attendance is the limit. Any value below this should not be considered for the base. (This percentage can be set to any value)
