Dear Sir,
Sub: Stepping up of pay of
Seniors drawing less pay than the Juniors consequent on fixation of pay
due to implementation of 6th CPC recommendations between Direct Recruits
and Promotees – item no. 8 and para no. 20 & 21 of the Record Note
of the meeting of the Standing Committee of National Council JCM held on
7th May 2014.
NFIR’s letter No. IV/NFIR/6th
CPC/Main10/Pt. 11 dated 10/11/2014 addressed to Secretary/DoP&T and
copies endorsed to Secretary (Pers), Department of Expenditure, Ministry
of Finance and Secretary (E), Railway Board.
(ii) DoP&T’s O.M. No.
1046768/2015-Estt(Pay-1) dated 9th March, 2015 addressed to Railway
Ministry and copy endorsed to NFIR.
(iii) NFIR’s letter No. IV/NFIR/6th CPC/Main10/Part 11 dated 15/04/2015 & 02/03/2016.
(iv) Railway Board’ s letter No.PC-VI/2010/I/RSRP/1 daIed 22/03/2016.
The’reply vide Board’s letter dated,
22/03/2016, in response to NFIR’s letter dated 02/03/2016, is
disappointing as the Railway Board have failed to appreciate the
situation narrated by the Federation to the Secretary, DoP&T in its
letter dated 10/11/2014, to which the DoP&T responded as under:-
“Department of Expenditure had, after
the meeting of the National Anomaly Committee, allowed stepping up of
pay to promotees with reference to Direct Recruits subject to certain
conditions, including there being an element of direct recruitment, an
actual junior receiving more pay etc. They’ however, decided that no
general order be issued. Accordingly, Ministry of Railways may take up
the matter with the Department of Expenditure for issuing of
instructions, if any”.
It is needless to mention that the
action as mentioned above is needed to be taken at the level of Railway
Ministry (Railway Board) for which reference needs to be made to the
Department of Expenditure for the purpose of issuing instructions in
favour of Railway employees. This is also clear from the fact that the
issue was raised in the Standing Committee meeting of NC/JCM held on
07th May 2014 refer Item No. 8 (Para 20 & 21) of the record note of
the meeting. Federation is sad to point out that the Railway Board
instead of taking action as per the minutes of Standing Committee
meeting of NC/JCM has acted differently and have sent a copy of Board’s
instructions dated 17/02/2010 to the Federation, which are not at all
related to the issue involved. however without examining the issue in
consultation with the Department of Expenditure.
Federation once again desires to
re-iterate that already a period of more than one year has passed,
unfortunately, the action needed to be taken in the matter at Board’s
level has not been taken yet.
NFIR, therefore, once again requests the
Railway Board to take action as indicated by the DoP&T and
formulate a proposal to the Department of Expenditure (Ministry of
Finance) in consultation with the Federation.
Yours faithfully,
