1. References have been received from a few Railways seeking clarification regarding fixation of pay of Sr.Clerks who were earlier in receipt of special pay of Rs.70 under IV CPC pay scales but have now been placed in the higher grade of Rs.5,000-8,000. The matter has been examined in Board’s office and the following clarifications are furnished:-
(i) The pay of Sr.Clerks who were in receipt of special pay of Rs.70 prior to 01.01.1996 under IV CPC scales is to be fixed directly in the higher scale of Rs.5,000-8,000 in terms of Rule-7 of RSRP Rules, 1997;
(ii) In cases where the individuals concerned who were in receipt of special pay prior to 01.01.1996 so desire, option to switch over to the grade of Rs.5,000-8,000 from the date of next increment may be allowed in terms of FR-22(1)a)(i) but in such cases, special pay of Rs.70 will not be counted for the purpose of fixation in the scale of Rs.5,000-8,000; and
(ii) Sr.Clerks who were granted special pay on or after 01.01.1996 (i.e. before Board’s orders dated 17.08.1998 were issued or could be acted upon) would be first fixed in the grade of Rs.4500-7000 as on 01.01.1996 under RSRP Rules, 1997 and thereafter in the grade of Rs.5,000-8,000 under FR-22(1)(a)(i) from the date of grant of special pay pf Rs.70. However, in such cases, special pay of Rs.70 would not be counted for fixation in the scale of Rs.5,000-8,000. The amount of special pay already received by such staff should be adjusted against arrears of Pay and Allowances becoming due on placement in the Grade of Rs.5,000-8,000.
