RBE No. 41/2019: Pension – Revision – Pre-2016 retiree Loco Inspectors
No.E(P&A)II/2018/RS/12, dated 06.03.2019
PC-VII No.128
Sub: Reckoning of pay element for revision of pension of Pre-2016 retired Loco Inspectors.
1. Please refer to Board’s letter No.D-43/34/2017-F(E)III, dt. 24.01.2018 (RBE No. 13/2018) regarding revision of pension of Pre-2016 retired running staff. After issue of this letter dt. 24.01.2018 references have been received from the recognized Federations and some of the Zonal Railways for issuing of instructions for revision of pension of Pre-2016 retired Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspector.
2. Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors are eligible for reckoning of 30% pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits w.e.f. 01.01.1993 in terms of paragraph No.5.5 of Board’s letter No. No.E(P&A)II/83RS-10(iv), dated 25.11.1992 (RBE No. 198/1992). When a Loco Inspector has rendered less than 10 month service as Loco Inspector as per revised scheme effective from 01.01.1993, reckoning of pay element is advisable on Pro-rata basis e.g. if a Loco Inspector has rendered only 5 months service he will be entitled to only 15% pay element.
3. The reckoning of pay element for revision of pension of Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors who have retired/ died between/on 01.01.1993 and 31.12.2015 have been shown in Annexure attached herewith.
4. Other conditions stipulated in DoP&PW’s OM dated 12.05.2017 & 06.07.2017 will apply in the case of Loco Inspectors also. It is also clarified that higher of the two formulations i.e. the pension/ family pension already revised in accordance of Board’s letter No.2016/F(E)III/I(1)/7, dated 10.08.2016 (RBE No. 97/2016) or the revised pension/ family pension as workout in accordance with para 3 above, shall be granted to Pre-2016 retired Loco Inspectors as revised pension/ family pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016.
5. Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors who have retired/ died before 01.01.1993 are not eligible for reckoning of 30% pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits, therefore, their notional fixation of pay for revision of pension would be done in the same way as being done in the case of non-running staff in general.
6. For those Loco Inspectors who have retired died after 01.01.2016, the reckoning of pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits would be administered in terms of Board’s letter E(P&A)II/2018/RS/12, dated 13.11.2017 till further orders.
7. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
