Accident Free Service Award
No.2018/Safety (DM)/18/2, dated 13.01.2020
Sub: Accident Free Service Award to the Employees retired after 01.01.2016.
Ref: Board’s letter of even no. dated 28.11.2018.
1. Vide Board’s letter referred above, it was clarified that the Accident Free Service Award to the staff retired after 01.01.2016 shall be paid as per the salary structure of 7th CPC and no arrears shall be admissible to whom the award is already disbursed.
2. Various Railways have brought out that some of the staff that had retired between 01.01.2016 & 28.11.2018 have been paid Accident Free Service Award as per 6th CPC pay structure while some of them have still not been paid the award due to various reasons and would therefore, be eligible for award as per 7th CPC pay structure. This would lead to different treatment meted out to two sets of staff retired during the same period.
3. In this respect, Board has examined the matter and it has been decided that the Accident Free Service Award will be paid as per 7th CPC pay structure w.e.f. 01.07.2017, the date on which revised rate of allowance as per 7th CPC came into effect. Therefore, the staff who have retired between 01.07.2017 & 28.11.2018 and have been paid as per 6th CPC pay structure will be eligible for payment of arrears of the Accident Free Service Award as per 7th CPC pay structure.
4. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.

Loco Pilot shri. Rajkumar Lachhey who has medically decategorised on date:16.02.2021 and completed 28 years service accident free , now he is working as a OS in S&T department . He has done his 28 years safety category service accident free and he is eligible for 90 days as per board’s letter no. 86/Safety-I/24/35 dated : 6.7.1998 but BPL Div. not giving the Accident free service award to the Employee.
Please give the proper guideline to BPL Div. for giving Accident free service award to the Medically decategorised employee those who are now working in non safety category .
At the time of retirement you will get AFSA for the accident free service rendered on your eligible pay i.e.Basic Pay before MDC
