Group D/Pay matrix Level 1 vacancies in Railways for disabled canditates (Divyangjans)
Total Vacancies reserved for Disabled candidates (Divyangjan) were revised upwards by Railways from 729 to over 2400 with around 600 for each of the 4 Disability categories of LD, VI, HI and MD.
There were total about 1.87 crore applicants. Written Exams (Computer-based 100% objective in 15 languages)
Around 1,55,000 (1.55 lakhs) Disabled candidates took the exam for the around 2400 posts notified as reserved for such candidates.
Around 34000 Disabled candidates scored above this threshold qualifying limit
Ministry of Railways
Clarification by Ministry of Railways regarding Recruitment of Divyangjans on Gr-D/Level-1 Vacancies
There is recent and continuing sit-in by Disabled persons (‘Divyangjan’) at Mandi House in Delhi regarding some issues for Level-1 jobs in the Railways for Divyangajans. At the outset, on this sensitive matter, it is categorically stated that insofar as Divyangjan candidates are concerned, Railways have ensured that notification of the required number of reserved vacancies, conduct of the entire recruitment exercise, and filled up of posts meant for Divyangjan have been not only transparent and fair, but also in accordance with statutory provisions and the law of the land in this regard. Nevertheless, necessary details with regard to the whole issue are brought out below. Background
· A centralized notification (CEN 02/18) for around 63000 Level-1 vacancies for all Railway zones across Indian Railways was issued in Feb’18 by Railway Recruitment Boards.
· This notification had initially 729 vacancies for Disabled in 3 Categories- Orthopaedic, Visual, and Hearing Disabled. The major chunk of vacancies was notified for Orthopaedically Disabled, based on job & suitability requirements of the posts advertised. Candidates could apply to be considered for vacancies of one of the 16 Railway zones of their choice.
· An organization of visually impaired persons filed a PIL in Hon’ble Delhi High Court in Feb’18. In the meantime, the revised Disabilities Act, 2016 had been enacted by then and notified by the Department of Personnel & Training of the Govt. of India in Jan 2018. In terms of this Act, the total vacancies to be reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) was revised upwards to 4%, with prescribed bifurcation among Disability categories.
· In compliance of Court hearings and directions in the case, the provisions of this revised Disabilities Act was made applicable to the CEN 02/2018 recruitment exercise as well. This meant that 4% vacancies had to be kept reserved for Disabled candidates. As specified in the Act, this was to be distributed equally as 1% each among 4 Disability Categories – Locomotor Disability (LD) that was earlier called Orthopaedic; Visually Impaired (VI), Hearing Impaired (HI), and an added Disability category of Multi-Disability (MD). MD would include candidates suffering from more than one Disability among the other three, as defined by medical benchmark standards.
· Accordingly, total Vacancies reserved for Disabled candidates (Divyangjan) were revised upwards by Railways from 729 to over 2400 with around 600 for each of the 4 Disability categories of LD, VI, HI and MD.
· In the meantime, a window of one month was provided on February 28, 2018 for candidates to apply because of the applicability of the revised Disability Act.
· There were total about 1.87 crore applicants. Written Exams (Computer-based 100% objective in 15 languages) were conducted in the latter part of 2018. Around 1,55,000 (1.55 lakhs) Disabled candidates took the exam for the around 2400 posts notified as reserved for such candidates. All prescribed facilities such as scribes, extra time, careful seating arrangements etc. were arranged for Disabled candidates. Minimum qualifying/cut-off threshold scores that were 40 for General candidates and 30 for SC/ST/OBC candidates were relaxed by 2 marks to 38 and 28 respectively for Disabled candidates. Around 34000 Disabled candidates scored above this threshold qualifying limit. Based on number of vacancies and their merit position in the particular Disability category in that Railway, commensurate number of qualified candidates were called for Document Verification and medical examination, prior to being offered appointment. Against those who are either absent or have not cleared verification of Documents and meeting the medical standards as per their Disability, candidates next in line as per merit have been called. So far, around 1025 Disabled candidates have already been selected for appointment. As authenticity of certificates and determining of medical status is taking additional time in the case of some Disabled candidates, this number of 1025 will go up in the coming weeks.
Sequence of Events
· Last month, some protesters under a banner “Toshiyas” did a sit-in in Delhi for 3 days from Oct 23-Oct 25, 2019. Apart from generic grievances regarding Government policy of reservation for Disabled categories and how this should be implemented in recruitments, they had also alleged irregularities in individual cases due to which they were aggrieved that meritorious Disabled candidates had not been selected.
· A detailed three-way discussion with the protesters, senior Railway officers and senior officers of the Ministry of Social Justice was chaired by Secretary, M/o Social Justice on 24 Oct 2019.
· On 25th October, the Court of Chief Commissioners of Persons with Disabilities (CCPD) heard the Petitioners and took their submissions on record. The Railways’ position and point-wise clarifications were also taken on record, following which the Court passed orders the same evening. These orders directed display of cut-offs for each Disability category not only on the respective Railway Recruitment cell websites of each Railway zone, but also on the Railway Board website. Directions to Railway zones to expedite the process, ensuring that no non-Divyangjan was appointed to a Divyangjan-reserved post, and careful consideration of any list of individual candidates’ grievances to be furnished by the Petitioner were also given.
· The directions above were complied by Railways and compliance report also sent to the Court (CCPD), with a copy to the Petitioner.
· After a specific request by Railway Board’s office, the Petitioner in the case at CCPD furnished a list of around 184 candidates across 10 Railway zones, who, it was claimed, had not been selected even though they had qualified as per merit.
· The list was carefully examined by Railways Administration and it was found that around 21 of the 184 had not secured the relaxed threshold cut-off/ qualifying score of 38 (for UR) or 28 (for SC/ST/OBC). The around 163 others had crossed this minimum threshold but were far short in terms of merit score when compared to the last such candidate selected in that Disability category by that Railway zone. This detailed position in respect of the entire list submitted by him was sent to the Petitioner.
· On Ministry of Railways’ own initiative, a further detailed follow-up meeting with the main Petitioner and several of the original protesters was again held at Patna on 23rd November 2019 with senior officers of the Board to collect any residual grievances.
· Again some protesters under a fresh banner have suddenly gone on a sit-in since 26th November. These protesters were part of the earlier group, but have now reportedly splintered/broken away and have sat on this dharna.
· Two more attempts at resolving the matter through discussions with senior Railway officers have failed first at Rail Bhawan on 26th Nov evening, and the second at the protest site on 27th evening, as the protesters are sticking to their demand of being given jobs in Railways irrespective of their merit position, Disability category, and vacancies notified in the Railway zone they have chosen.
Railways’ position on issues raised by the Protesters
The demands pertaining to Level-1 recruitment cover 5 broad aspects as under:
Sl. No.
Demand
Position/remarks
1
Interchange/merger of all ‘Divyangjan’ vacancies across Disability categories
As per the revised PwBD Act, 2016, unfilled Disabled
vacancies are carried forward to next year. Only if they remain unfilled
in the next year also, is interchange of vacancies across Disabled
categories permissible
2
Common merit list for all Divyangjan across all Railway zones
Candidates have opted for choice of Railway zone of
their choice. Vacancies and merit lists are also Railway zone-specific.
Thousands of candidates have already joined accordingly. Review at this
stage is not feasible.
3
Regular filling up of all unfilled Divyangjan vacancies every year and through Special Drives
Full complement of Divyangjan vacancies already notified in recruitments for 2018 and 2019.
4
Diversion of other quota unfilled vacancies such as for trained Act Apprentices to Divyangjan quota
Such Diversion across quotas is not permissible
5
Preference for appointment to those who have come to Delhi for the agitation
Not permissible, as merit in the category alone can determine filling up of vacancies in any Railway zone
Any large competitive examination has to be conducted as per merit and as per statutory provisions. In a situation where around 2400 vacancies are reserved for Divyangjan and there are 1.55 lakh Divyangjan applicants, it is clear that the end of the recruitment exercise will unfortunately result in around 1.53 lakh Divyangjan not making the cut. As long as those selected are strictly as per merit for that Disability category and that Railway zone, the process should be accepted by all stakeholders. The point about whether the present 1% distribution of vacant posts across the 4 Disability categories is equitable considering the relative populations/number of applicants in each Disability is a larger policy issue involving other Ministries of the Government of India and other expert bodies. Railways cannot act unilaterally in the matter. As things stand, the Railways are bound to follow statutory provisions as notified. Any specific irregularities/grievances, if pointed out, will be promptly examined and corrective action, if necessitated, taken. This has been repeatedly emphasized to the protesters. The Railways continues to remain committed to the cause of Divyangjans.
It is also relevant to mention that another group of Disabled persons under a different NGO has already gone to Hon’ble Delhi High Court raising similar issues as these protesters. Matter is sub judice there. Indian Railways will respect the judicial verdict in the matter, as and when it is delivered.
Fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff on being appointed against alternative posts in revised 7th CPC pay structure

No.E(NG)I-2018/RE-3/3
New Delhi dated 14.10.2019
The General Manager (P)s
All Zonal Railways and Production Units
& RDSO etc.
(As per standard list)
Subject: Fixation of pay of disabled/medically unfit running staff on being appointed against alternative (stationary) posts in revised (7th CPC) pay structure
As the Zonal Railways am aware, pay of medically unfit Railway servants while absorbing them in alternative post is presently fixed as per instructions contained in Board's letter No.E(NG)I-2008/RE-3/4 dated 30.04.2013. These provisions provides that while determining pay in Pay Band for the purpose of fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff in alternative (stationary) post, an amount equal to such percentage of basic pay (pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) representing pay element of running allowance as may be in force from time to time may be added to the existing pay in Pay Band and the resultant figure (ignoring the fraction of rupee, if any) rounded off to the next multiple of 10, would be the pay in the Pay Band in the alternative post with no change in the Grade Pay of substantive post, in suitable alternative post.
2. The above issue of pay fixation of medically disabled / unfit running staff on such circumstances in pursuance of the 7th CPC regime has been under consideration of Board. It is pointed out that upto and including the 5th CPC pay regime, the pay scales had fixed stages and method of pay fixation of such running staff was governed in terms of para Nos. 1307 and 1308 of Board’s letter No.E(NG)I-96/RE-3/9(2) dated 29.04.1999. With the restoration of fixed and defined pay intervals in the form of distinct cells within each pay level in the 7th CPC pay matrix, it is clarified that the principles of pay fixation enunciated in Board’s letter ibid which will now hold good. This means that while fixing the pay of a medically decategorised running staff in an alternative stationary post if the resultant pay (after 30% addition) does not correspond to any cell, in the same pay level, then the pay will be fixed in the next - below cell of the same pay level and difference in pay will be protected as personal pay which will be adjusted in future increment (s).
3. It may also be noted that pay fixation as per para - 2 above will not apply for medical de-categorisation cases of 6th CPC regime, covered under Board’s letter dated 30.04.2013 referred to at para 01 above.
This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Fixation of pay in the Revised Pay Structure, 2016 on promotion as Accounts Officer consequent to grant of NFU to Assistant Account Officers (CCAS).
The references have been received in this office seeking clarification whether the AAOs who have been granted NFU in the Pay Level 9 in terms of this office O.M. No, A-60015/1/2018/ MF, CGA(A)/ NGE/7th CPC/238 dated 4th July, 2018, are eligible for benefit of fixation of pay on promotion as Accounts Officer, The matter was taken up with the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance accordingly.
The Department of Expenditure vide, I.D.

As such the AAOs (CCAS) who have been granted NFU in Pay Level 9 and availed benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of the CCS (RP) Rules 2016, are not eligible for grant of same benefit on promotion as Account Officer in the same Level i.e. Pay Level 9.

Reckoning Grade Pay Rs.4200/- Level 6 of 7th CPC Pay Matrix as entry Grade Pay for granting financial upgradation under MACPS to the Station Master category in Railways.
No. IV//MACPS/ 09/2019
Dated: 09/09/2019
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: Reckoning Grade Pay Rs.4200/- Level 6 of 7th CPC Pay Matrix as entry Grade Pay for granting financial upgradation under MACPS to the Station Master category in Railways - reg.
Federation feels disappointed that despite the above subject was listed in the PNM Agenda two years ago, there has been no decision from Railway Board till date.
Vide NFIR's letter of even no. dated 09/04/2019, merits of the case have been adequately explained besides extract of Item No. 31 of Railway Board's letter PC-V/99/1/1/1 dated 19/02/2002 has also been furnished. In terms of item No. 31 of Board's letter dated 19/02/2002, the Station Masters are entitled for 3rd financial upgradation under MACPS in GP 5400/ Level-9 (7th CPC). In this connection, Railway Board's letter No. PC- V/2019/ CC/7/WCR dated 05/04/2019 addressed to General Manager (P), W.C. Railway, Jabalpur allowing 3rd financial upgradation in terms of Board's letter dated 19th February,2002 (para 1.4) may be connected. It is however unfortunate that although the case of Station Master category gets covered by Railway Board's letter dated 19th February, 2002 for the purpose of entitlement of 3rd financial upgradation (GP 5400/Level-9) under MACPS, the Railway Board have not responded to Federation's PNM Item No. 15/2017 even after lapse of two years.
Attention is also invited to 7th CPC recommendation contained in para 11.40.55 of the report, relevant extract of which is placed below:-
"Keeping in mind the identical educational qualifications required for the posts of ASM and SM, with practically no difference in the functions performed by .them, and the historical importance of the post, it is recommended that the ASMs in GP 2800 should first be upgraded to GP 4200 and then fitted in the revised Pay Matrix. The cadre will then have 60 percent posts in Level 60 and 40 percent in Level 7. The designation of ASM may be abolished".
Federation once again urges upon the Railway Board to expedite action and decision, granting 3rd financial upgradation under MACPS to Station Master category in GP 5400/ Level-9.
Yours faithfully,
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah).

Dear Sir,
Sub: Reckoning Grade Pay Rs.4200/- Level 6 of 7th CPC Pay Matrix as entry Grade Pay for granting financial upgradation under MACPS to Station Master Category in Railways - Reg.
Ref: (i) NFIR's PNM Item No. 15/2017.
(ii) Railway Board's letter No. PC-VII/2016/RSRP/2 dated 02/08/2016
[Annexure-B Note 2/RBE No. 93/2016].
(iii) Railway Board's letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 10/06/2009.
(iv) NFIR's letter No.IV/NFIR/MACPS/2009/Part II dated 28/05/2017 & 04/01/2018
(v) NFIR'S letter No.IV/MACPS/09/Part II dated 29/01/2018.
Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to Federation's PNM Agenda Item No. 15/2017, proposing grant of 3rd financial upgradation under MACP Scheme to the Station Masters entered in GP 2800 which got merged with GP 4200 / Level-6 w.e.f. 01/01/2016 vide Railway Board's instructions dated 02/08/2016 (RBE No. 93/2016), pursuant to acceptance of 7th CPC recommendation. Federation is however disappointed that the Railway Board has not yet considered for granting GP 5400 / Level-9 as financial upgradation to those Station Masters who have completed 30 years of service.
Federation has however learnt that the Railway Board vide letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/5/CR dated 11/12/2017 has issued a clarification to the General Manager (P), Central Railway stating that the upgradation of ASM in GP 2800 to the post of SM in GP 4200 has to be counted as promotion for the
purpose of MACPS and therefore the GP 4200 (now Pay Level-6) cannot be treated as entry Grade. This clarification of the Railway Board is totally unjustified due to the fact that the said decision violates policy instructions as mentioned below:-
The Railway Board have cited Item No. 31 of Board's letter No. PC-V/99/I/1/1 dated,19/02/2002 to deny the benefit. The Federation on going through the contents of Item No. 31 of Board's letter dated, 19/02/2002 found following provision.
"Where all the posts are placed in a higher scale of pay, with or without a change in the designation; without requirement of any new qualification for holding the post in the higher grade, not specified in the Recruitment Rules for the existing post, and without involving any change in responsibilities and duties, then placement of all the incumbents against such upgraded posts is not be treated as promotion/upgradation".
Since the upgradation of ASMs GP 2800 to GP 4200 as SM has been done as a result of acceptance of 7th CPC recommendation by the Government with slight change in the designation but without change in the qualification and any change in responsibilities and duties, therefore, the placement of all such incumbents against the upgraded posts cannot be treated as promotion / upgradation.
Federation fur1her desires to clarify that the later part of the conditions mentioned against Item No.31 are not at all relevant to the case of Station Master category.
Further in Board's letter dated 02/08/2016 (93/2016), it has clearly been mentioned vide Item No. 2.1 of Annexure 'B' that in the case of ASMs GP 2800, their Grade Pay has to be revised to Gp 4200, therefore they are to be fitted in Pay Level-6 of 7th CPC. Note at Item No. 2 clearly states that ASMs in GP 2800 should be upgraded to 4200 and then fitted in the revised pay Matrix and the designation of ASM shall stand abolished and the post of ASMs shall stand merged with the post of Station Master (GP 4200) along with functions. However, the Note further states that the revised AVC, inter-se-seniority, recruitment rules, classification as decided by the Board, will be issued through separate letters. There are no instructions to treat such upgradation as promotion particularly for those ASMs who have been recruited in GP 2800/-.
Federation also brings to the notice of Railway Board the condition no. 5 mentioned in Annexure to Board's letter dated 10/06/2009 (RBE No. 101/2009) which stipulates as under:-
"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 by the 6th Pay Commission shall be ignored for the purpose of granting upgradation under MACPS".
Federation further states that based on the above positions, Railway Board have issued clarification vide letter dated 10/06/2009 (RBE No. 17/2009), that on the analogy of Para 5 of the Annexure to Board's letter dated 10/06/2009, that promotions earned or upgradations granted under ACP Scheme of 01/01/1999 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.
Federation requests the Railway Board to kindly review the case denovo, taking into account the points raised above as also the PNM Agenda Item No. 15/2017 and grant 3rd MACP to the Station Masters in GP 5400/ Pay Level-9 on completion of 30 years service. The subject will be discussed in the ensuing PNM meeting with the Railway Board on 25th/26th April. 2019.

Sir/Madam.
In supersession of this Department's letter of even number dated the 7th April, 2017 on the above mentioned subject, I am directed to say that the initial pay of a promoted officer or an officer appointed by selection as the case may be shall be fixed at the stage of the senior scale next above his actual pay. There is no provision of increment at the stage of initial fixation.
Rule 5(6) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides for the fixation of pay of a Member of Service on promotion to Selection Grade (Level-13) of Pay Matrix by adding one increment in the Level- 12 of Pay Matrix and two additional increments in the Level 13 to which he is promoted. Rule 5(5) of lAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides that the pay of a member of the Service in the Senior Time Scale shall, on promotion to the Junior Administrative Grade he fixed in Level 12 of the Pay Matrix.
in respect of fixation of pay of officers who were promoted/Selected in lAS through SCS/Non-SCS respectively in Senior Time Scale/Junior Administrative Grade after 01.01.2016, the initial pay shall be fixed in the respective level of the Senior Scale i.e Level 11,12 01. 13 based on the year of allotment in the lAS. However, the pay drawn in the State Civil Services will be protected in the concerned Level. An illustration is as under:
Shri X who is drawing pay at Rs. 48920 (Rs.40220 [pay in the pay band + GP Rs.8700] is promoted/selected to lAS on 04.03.2016. lie is allotted 2010 batch. The pay on promotion/selection to lAS would be as under:

On their actual promotion to JAG/Selection Grade, the pay of these officers will then be fixed as per IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016. That is, the officers will be eligible for two additional increments on their actual promotions to Level 12/ Level 13 after completion of 9/13 years of service in IAS respectively.

Mrs. KALYANICHADDA, Executive Director/ME(W),
Convener, Committee for revision of hourly rate of Incentive Bonus,
Railway Board, Rail Bhawan, New Delhi - 110001.
CC by Email - edmew@rb.railnet.gov.in
Sub: Revision
of hourly rates of Incentive Bonus and Bonus Factors of Workshops/PUs
staff under CRJ Pattern & GIS - Regarding Financial implications
thereof.
Ref: 1. Railway Board's Order No. RBE-I/201/23/39, dated 06.07.2017& 18.05.2018.
2. Our memorandum dated 02.07.2018 & meeting with you on 04.07.2018. Respected Madam,
With
reference to our earlier memorandum and our meeting with you on
04.07.2018, we submit this memorandum for the kind consideration of the
Committee for revision of hourly rates of Incentive Bonus on estimated
additional expenditure on account of revision of incentive rates based
on minimum pay of respective Pay Level in 7th CPC Pay Matrix divided by
208 (standard working hours per month) - as per formula followed after
5th Pay Commissions.
Proposed revision of Incentive Rates is estimated to cost additionally only 1.28 percent in terms of cost of man power.
There
are 2,38,546 workshop Group 'C' & 'D' staff (2,19,682 Group 'C'
& 18,864 in Group 'D') of Mechanical, Electrical and S&T covered
under incentive scheme as on 03.2017. (Strength of workshop artisan
& helper as on 31.03.2017 is given in Table-1)
Average
annual wage per employee for Group 'C' in Workshop staff including pay,
all allowances, PLB, pension & gratuity (Senior Technician,
Supervisor (Ministry), Technician Grade-I, II & Ill) is Rs.
7,09,494. (Ref. Statement 40 (II) (b) of Indian Railways Annual
Statistical Statement 2016-17)
Average annual wage per employee
for Group 'D' Workshop staff including pay, all allowances, PLB, pension
& gratuity (semi-skilled & unskilled) is Rs. 5,66,147. (Ref.
Statement 40 (II) (e) of Indian Railways Annual Statistical Statement
2016-17)
If incentive rates are revised
based on minimum of respective Pay Level divided by 208, additional
expenditure is estimated to be Rs.214.09 crore.
In
terms of equivalent man power it will be 3,061 Group 'C' & 'D'
workshop staff (2,847 men in Group 'C' and 213 in group 'D').
This
will be only 1.28% of 2,19,682 strength of Group 'C'&'D' workshop
staff available in Indian Railways as on 31.03.2017. Details of the
calculation is attached in Table-2.
It is therefore requested
that, no reduction in allowed time / man power may please be proposed
for implementation of revised incentive rates, since the estimated
additional cost equal to only 1.28% man power which will be compensated
by additional work load due to the addition of rolling stocks & new
trains.
Hoping for a favourable consideration & thank you in anticipation,
Yours faithfully,
Harchandan Singh General Secretary, IRTSA

Grant of two additional increments at revised rates to Nursing Personnel pursuant of revision of pay (7th CPC).
NFIR
No. I/11/Part I
Dated: 30/07/2018
The Secretary (E), Railway Board, New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: Grant of two additional increments at revised rates to Nursing Personnel pursuant of revision of pay (7th CPC)-reg.
Ref: (i) NFIR's PNM Item No. 11/2008.
(ii) Railway Board's letter No. PC-VI/2010/I/7/5/1 dated 14/03/2012.
The
Railway Board vide letter dated 14/03/2012 had issued instructions to
the Zonal Railways etc to grant two additional increments to the Nursing
Staff possessing B.Sc. Degree as additional qualification in terms of
para 160(2) (iii) of IREM Vol-I,1989 Edition, on the basis of pay drawn
in 6th CPC Pay Band. These instructions were issued as a result of
demand raised by NFIR vide PNM Item No. 11/2008.
Federation has
since received representations from the Nursing staff of some Zonal
Railways that the payment of two additional increments, based on the
revised rates of 7th CPC is not yet ensured w.e.f. 01/01/2016, (the date
of implementation of 7th CPC pay matrix) and payment continued at the
old rates of 6th CPC Pay Band. The non-revision of additional increments
rate has been causing hardships to the staff and grievances continued
from Nursing Personnel.
NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway
Board to kindly issue suitable clarification to all Zonal
Railways/Production Units to grant two additional increments (3% each on
7th CPC Pay) from 01-01-2016 to the Nursing Personnel. A copy of
instructions issued may please be endorsed to Federation.
Yours faithfully S/d, (Dr. M. Raghavaiah) General Secretary
