Rule 10 CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 - revised pay scale and one increment may be granted on 01.01.2006, and the next increment on 01.07.2006

[Part of the Minutes of the 47th Meeting of National Council (JCM) held on 13th April, 2019 issued by DoPT vide OM No. 3/1/2019-JCA dated 13.06.2019]

6.3 D/o Expenditure, M/o Finance

6.3.5 Item No.3/19/ NC-47 - Benefit of proviso to rule 10 CCS(RP) Rules, 2008
Staff Side stated that benefit of Proviso to Rule 10 CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, to those who complete 1 year service at maximum has been sought. It has been stated that there are cases when employees drawing maximum of their Pay Scale complete one year after 01.01.2006 are denied the benefit of next increment in the revised pay structure. The pay may be fixed in the revised pay scale with effect from 01.01.2006 and one increment may be granted on 01.01.2006, and the next increment on 01.07.2006.

Reply of the Official Side:
As per Rule 10 of CCS(RP) Rules, 2008, in the 6th CPC regime, a uniform date of annual increment, viz 1st July of every year has been introduced, under which employees completing six months and above in the revised pay structure as on 1st July would be eligible for increment on 01.07.2006. OM dated 4.7.2014 has also stipulated that the increment on 01.01.2006 shall also be allowed to those who had reached the maximum of the applicable pre­ revised pay scale more than one year before 01.01.2006, and were in receipt of stagnation increment(s), provided the revised pay was fixed on 01.01.2006.

Therefore, the proposal/demand is not in consonance with the 1st Proviso to Rule 10 and the benefit of increment on 01.01.2006 cannot be given in these cases.

This item may be treated as closed.

Grant of promotional increment under Rule 13 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008 to those promoted to identical Pay Band or Grade Pay shouldering higher responsibilities

Grant of promotional increment under Rule 13 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008 to those promoted to identical Pay Band or Grade Pay shouldering higher responsibilities:-

New Delhi, dated 01.04.2015.

Subject: Grant of promotional increment under rule 13 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008 to those promoted to identical Pay Band /Grade Pay shouldering higher responsibilities.

Ref: Item no.1/2014 of PNM.

Sir,
In terms of rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, fixation of pay with one additional increment is admissible in the situations of promotion from one Grade Pay to another. Prior to implementation of above rules, fixation of pay on appointment from one post to another was governed by Rule 1313(FR22)(1)(a)(1)R-II (still in force) which provides for fixation of pay involving additional increment appointment / promotion as per the provisions of Recruitment Rules in the situations involving assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance. Further, in terms of Rule 1313 (FR22)(III)R-II appointment in identical pay scale is not to be deemed as a case of assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance.

2. Consequent upon implementation of recommendations of 6th CPC there were various situations of appointment to identical Pay in the nominal promotional hierarchy of the employee and such posts could not be merged (in terms of recommendations of 6th CPC envisaging merger of various scales) and the posts continued to be feeder and promotional posts though in same Grade Pay. There was marked assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance. Such cases were examined with Ministry of Finance and DOP&T and consequently, as agreed, promotional benefit was extended to certain categories vide Board’s letter No.PC-VI/2011/IC/1 dated 12.9.2013 (copy enclosed).

3. Now there are demands from the Federations for grant of benefit to certain other situations viz;

S.No	Feeder Category	Promotional Categories	Revised Pay structure(Pay Band, Grade Pay)
(i)	Track Maintainers-IV	Key man	PB-1 GP Rs 1800
(ii)	Peon	Record Sorter/ Gastetner Operator	PB-1 GP Rs 1800
(iii)	Sr.ALP works under Loco Pilot	Loco Pilot (Shunting) Works Independently.	PB-1 GP Rs 2400
(iv)	Commercial Clerk	Enquiry-cum-Reservation Clerk	PB-1 GP Rs 2800
(v)	Sr. Goods Guard	Passenger Guard	PB-2 GP Rs 4200
(vi)	Sr. Loco Pilot (Shunting)	Loco Pilot (Goods)	PB-2 GP Rs 4200
(vii)	Station Master	Section Controller	PB-2 GP Rs 4200

4. The issue has been examined and it has been observed item wise as under:

Item No.(i) Track Man to Key Man
Item No.(ii) Peon to Record Sorter

Consequent to the implementation of 6th CPCs recommendations, the pre-revised scales of Rs. 2550-3200, Rs. 2610-3540, Rs. 2650-4000 and 2750-4400 in respect of Group ‘D’ posts have been replaced by Revised Pay structure of Pay Band PB I and Grade pay Rs. 1800 and the functions etc of the posts are deemed to have merged. The situation is common to all the erstwhile Group ‘D’ categories. Accordingly the question of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of Revised pay rules does not arise in these specific situations.
Further based on the report of the Committee set up by Board, the category of Track Man/ Keymen etc is now being operated in four Grade unified structure and in such a pay structure benefit is already available on promotion from one Grade Pay to another and there is no issue of non admissibility of fixation of pay under Rule 13 of RS(RP) Rules 2008. (Reference: Board’s letter No 2010/CE-l(Spl)/GNS/15{Pt) dated 17/08/2012) copy enclosed.

Item No. (iii) Sr. ALP to Loco Pilot (Shunting)
Item No. ( v) Sr. Goods Guard to Passenger Guard
Item No. (vi) Sr. Loco Pilot(Shunting) to Loco Pilot (Goods)

In respect of above situations of promotions in the identical scale of pay, consequent to consultation with Ministry of Finance a detailed clarification has been issued to zonal Railways vide Board’s letter No. PCVI/2011/IC/l dated 22/05/2014 (copy enclosed) explaining the detailed background, leading to admissibility of promotional pay fixation and the methodology adopted for fixation of pay on promotion to identical grade pay in different situations, in terms of Board’s letter No.PC-Vl/2011/IC/1 dated 22/05/2014.

Item No.( iv): Commercial Clerk to Enquiry cum Reservation Clerk
Item No. (vii) Station Master to Section Controller.

The above situations are result of lateral movement of employees from one cadre to another on their own volition based on the option furnished by them and not the cases of promotion in their normal hierarchy. As per norms being followed, such situations are not being considered for extension of benefit of fixation of pay under Rule 3 of RS(RP) Rules 2008.

5. Keeping in view above position it is not feasible to agree to the demand.

Encl: As above.

Yours Faithfully

For Secretary/Railway Board

Fixation of Pay of Senior PAs with the PAs of CSSS promoted between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 clarification

Fixation of Pay of Senior PAs with the PAs of CSSS promoted between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 clarification regarding allowing arrears — regarding

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Fixation of Pay of senior PAs in the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 with the PAs of CSSS promoted between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 —clarification regarding allowing arrears — regarding.

The undersigned is directed to say that references are still being received from Ministries/Departments regarding fixation of pay of senior PAs of CSSS and payment of arrears in the revised pay structure with the PAs of CSSS who were promoted between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008. PAs of CSSS promoted between 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008 were allowed arrears from the date of their promotion as they had come over to the revised pay on the date of their promotion. Seniors to such promotee PAs of CSSS, however, were subsequently allowed stepping up of their pay with reference to these officials and they were not allowed arrears on the ground that the officials with reference to whom they got their pay stepped up were also not entitled to this.

2. The issue of fixation of pay with reference to the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 7450-11500 and payment of arrears was taken up by Establishment Division of this Department with Department of Expenditure as this amounts to compelling the senior official, who was already serving as PA prior to 1.1,2006 and opted for fixation of his pay under revised pay rules from 1.1.2006 to opt for revised pay structure from the date of stepping up with the junior.


3. It is, therefore, clarified that the senior is entitled to arrears of pay from the date he opted to come over to the Revised Pay Scales tilt the date of stepping up of pay. These will be paid on the basis of pay actually fixed as on 1.1.2006.
