1. In terms of Board’s letter of even number dated 02.02.2006 (RBE No. 10/2006), Railways/ PUs were advised that instructions issued vide Board’s letter No.E(NG)I/89/PM2/8-A, dated 10.01.1992 (RBE No. 06/1992) and letter No.E(NG)I/89/PM2/8, dated 01.10.1992 (RBE No. 254/1999), regarding equivalence of grades of running staff with that of stationary staff for the purpose of promotion to the posts in stationery categories, where both running and stationery staff were eligible and were considered together, would be applicable for determining eligibility of the candidates for promotion to the respective Group ‘B’ posts.
2. The question of equivalence of grades has since been reviewed in the light of the scales of pay introduced on the basis of scales of pay recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission, and it has been decided that for the purpose of determining eligibility of the candidates for promotion/ selection to Group ‘B’ posts, the grades of running staff may be equated with those of the stationary staff as indicated below:-
