No. IV/NFIR/ 7 CPC (Imp)/2017/R.B. Part II
Dated: 23/07/2018
Shri Piyush Goyal,
Hon'ble Minister of Railways,
Rail Mantralaya,
New Delhi.
Dear Shri Goyal Sahib,
Sub:
Grave
injustice done by successive Pay Commission to the category of Junior
Engineers and Senior Engineers in Railways-growing dissatisfaction,
discontentment and frustration among Technical Supervisors - kind
intervention requested.
Ref: (i) Hon'ble MR's D.O. letter No. PC-VII/2015/R-U/9 dated 20/04/2017 to Hon'ble Finance Minister.
(ii)
NFIR's letter No. IV/NFIR/7 CPC (Imp) /2017/R.B.- Part II dated
19/02/2018 to CRB and copy endorsed to MS. MF, FC, DG(P) etc.
(iii) NFIR's PNM File No. 03/2018 and 10/2018.
NFIR
has been pursuing the case of Graduate Engineers/Diploma Engineers and
Supervisory Officials working in different Departments since several
years at the level of Railway Ministry for rectifying the imbalances in
their pay structure to ensure justice to these Supervisory Officials who
have been let down not only by the previous Pay Commissions but also by
the Railway Board.
Pursuant to NFIR's follow up action through
PNM fora (Agenda Item No. 03/2018 & 10/2018), the Railway Board
through Action Taken Statement dated 10th May, 2018 has conveyed that
the proposal regarding upgradation of 75% of Senior Supervisors from
Level 7 (erstwhile GP 4600) to Level-8 (erstwhile GP 4800), to bring
parity has already been sent to the Ministry of Finance and Hon’ble MR
has also sent D.O. letter dated 20th April, 2017 to the Hon'ble Finance
Minister seeking approval. The Railway Board has also informed the
Federation that a meeting also been held with the Officials of Finance
Ministry on 21st February, 2018 and action on hand for obtaining
clearance.
NFIR brings to the kind notice of the Hon'ble MR that
despite D.O letter of Hon'ble MR vide letter dated 20th April, 2017and
discussions held by the Railway Ministry with Ministry of Finance on
21/02/2018, approval of Ministry of Finance has not yet been received.
Hon'ble MR may kindly appreciate that in this case the Railway Ministry
conceded that grave injustice has been meted out to Graduate Engineers,
Diploma Engineers and Supervisory Officials in the Railway resultantly
approached the Ministry of Finance to approve for upgradation of 75%
posts of erstwhile GP 4600/Level-7 to erstwhile GP 4800/Pay Level-8.
Hon'ble
MR may kindly appreciate that on this issue, there was an agreement
between the full Board and the Federations for total replacement of GP
4600 (6th CPC)/Pay Level-7 of 7th CPC with GP 4800 (6th CPC)/Pay Level-8
of 7th CPC but sadly, the agreement has not been implemented till date.
NFIR,
therefore seeks your kind intervention for the purpose of obtaining
approval of the Ministry of Finance for upgradation of posts to GP
4800/- (Pay Level-8) without further delay.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
sd/-
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
