The General Managers,
All Zonal Railways.

Modification in the AVC for promotion to Goods Guards in Grade Pay Rs.2800 (Level-5).
Attention is invited to instructions contained in Board's letter of even number dated 12.05.2017 regarding modification in the AVC for promotion to the post of Goods Guards in Grade Pay Rs.2800 (Level-5).

In para 2(i) of the aforesaid letter showing the feeder categories eligible to appear in General Selection against 60% quota for filling up the vacancies of Goods Guard in Grade Pay Rs.2800, the categories of Shunting Master-II and Shunting Jamadar, both in GP Rs.2400 (Level-4) may also be included.

Sub: Fixation of pay/ admissibility of increment under Rule 13 of Revised Pay Rules, 2008 in the situation of placement on non-functional basis in higher Pay Band/ Grade Pay.

Prior to implementation of recommendations of Sixth Central Pay Commission, fixation of pay of Railway employees on appointment from one post to another was governed by Rule 1313 {FR22(1)(a)(1)} and 1313 {FR22(1)(a)(2)} R-II depending upon whether situation involved assumption of duties and responsibilities of greater importance or otherwise. Rule 13 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 governing fixation of pay on promotion on or after 1.1.2006, however, envisage grant of one increment equal to 3% of sum of the pay in the pay band and existing grade pay (to be rounded off to next multiple of 10) in the case of promotion from one grade pay to another in the revised pay structure. Further clarification were issued vide Board's letter No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 11.02.2009 (RBE No. 28/2009).

2. References have been received from some of the Railways/PUs and both staff Federations regarding admissibility of fixation with extra increment in terms of Rule 13 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008 in the situation of placement of Pharmacist (GP Rs. 2800) in GP Rs. 4200 on completion of two years regular service and placement of Private Secretaries Grade I (GP Rs. 4800) in GP Rs. 5400 (PB 2) on completion of 4 years regular service on non-functional basis. The matter has been examined in consultation with Ministry of Finance and DoP&T and it is clarified that the benefit of fixation of pay in terms of Rule 13 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008 would be admissible in such situations of placement in higher Grade Pay on non-functional basis.

3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Most of central government department websites lack transparency: CIC audit

Most of central government department websites lack transparency: CIC audit

Most of the central government department websites lack in suo-motu disclosure of public information under a mandatory provision of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, according to an official report released Tuesday.

It said the ultimate objective of transparency by them can be performed only by the government who control all supply side of information.

Transparency watchdog Central Information Commission (CIC) has undertaken an evaluation to ascertain the quality of suo-motu disclosures under Section 4 of the RTI Act made by various public authorities.

The evaluation was conducted by a committee comprising A N Tiwari, former Chief Information Commissioner, and M M Ansari, former Information Commissioner.
The committee evolved an evaluation format and requested all public authorities to fill it up.
Out of 2,092 public authorities registered with the commission, feedback was received from 838.
"It has been found that out of 838 public authorities, 158 public authorities got grade A, 157 public authorities got grade B, 118 public authorities got grade C, 133 public authorities got grade D and 272 public authorities got grade E," the report said.

The departments getting 90-100 per cent score in the evaluation got grade A, those getting 80-89 per cent were put in grade B, 70-79 per cent in grade C, 60-69 in grade D and below 60 per cent in grade E.

"We have been at pains to point out in our report that while the audit of the websites of the public authorities is a necessary step in the direction of ushering in greater transparency in the functioning of the state instrumentalities, the ultimate objective still remains the embrace of transparency by them as central to governance," the report said.

This task can be performed only by the government who control all supply side of information, it said.

"It is our hope that the initiative taken by the Central Information Commission to evaluate disclosure standards on websites of public authorities shall usher in the change which the RTI Act enjoins. We repeat that institutional transparency is the final frontier of the Right to Information movement," the report said.

Mentioning its major findings, the CIC report said missing information largely relates to "policy on transfer and posting of senior officers deployed at important and sensitive places; details of domestic and foreign visits undertaken by the senior officials and sources and methods of funding political parties or identification of donors", among others.

The report has been accepted by the Central Information Commission, subject to any observations that may now be received by the commission from the public authorities.

The Secretary (E),

Dear Sir,
Sub: Availability of option for fixation of pay on promotion from the Date of Next Increment (DNI) in the lower post and method of fixation of pay from DNI, if opted for, in context of RS (RP) Rules, 2016-reg.
Ref: (i) NFIR's letter No. IV/NFIR/7th CPC (Imp)/2016/R.B.-Pt. I dated 06/01/2017.
(ii) Railway Board's reply vide letter No. PC-VII/2017/U/7 dated 31/03/2017.

(iv) Railway Board's letter No. PC-VII/2016/I/6/2 dated 20/09/2018.

While thanking the Railway Board for its letter dated 20/09/2018 giving one month's time from the date of issue of Board's letter, Federation feels disappointed to state that the Board's order giving opportunity to exercise option for fixation of pay from the Date of Next Increment (DNI) in the lower post and method of fixation of pay from DNI, if opted for, under RS (RP) Rules, 2016 have been issued to the Zonal Railways, unfortunately these orders have not been circulated by the Zonal Railways and the Divisions to the field units with the result the staff are unable to exercise option in time. NFIR suggests that in such orders the time for exercising option should be atleast 90 days from the date the instructions are circulated by the DRMs/Unit incharges to enable the staff to avail the option opportunity.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to kindly issue corrigendum to order dated 20th September, 2018 (RBE 142/2018) clearly mentioning that the period of 90 days will count from the date these orders circulated by the Divisional/Units Administration so as to enable the staff to exercise option. Copy of the instructions issued may be endorsed to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,
