RBE No. 202/2018: Restructuring – Photographers
No.PC-III/2018/CRC/2, dated 27.12.2018
Sub: Restructuring of isolated Group ‘C’ cadres – Photographers.
1. The issue of restructuring of isolated Group ‘C’ cadres/ categories of posts over Indian Railways has been under consideration in Board’s office. Staff Federations (AIRF and NFIR) have also been raising the issue of such isolated categories of posts not being covered by periodic cadre restructuring exercises undertaken. In this context, based on data received from Railways/ Units, cadre restructuring exercise for the isolated category of Photographers posts spread across different Field Units has been approved by Board as below:
|
Category |
Pay structure/ Level in 6th & 7th CPC |
Existing percentage distribution |
Revised percentage distribution |
|
Photographers |
PB-2 GP 4200/Level-6 |
Not prescribed. |
50% |
|
PB-1 GP 2800/Level-5 |
Not prescribed. |
27% |
|
|
PB-1 GP 2400/Level-4 |
Not prescribed. |
23% |
|
|
Total |
|
|
100% |
Note: The revised percentage distribution will be implemented on the basis of financial neutrality by matching surrender of post(s) in Level 4.
2. The benefit of cadre restructuring as per percentage distribution of posts will be applicable on ‘floating basis’ with the usual connotation that this term implies Southern Railway has been nominated as the cadre management Railway, with the approval of Board for giving effect to this exercise. Southern Railway will therefore be responsible for centralized maintenance of seniority, and for giving effect to the benefits of this cadre restructuring based on appropriate ‘floating of posts’. Available cadre position and matching surrender value calculations as worked out by this Directorate, will be sent separately to Southern Railway. E(NG) Directorate will co-ordinate in this matter with Southern Railway and the other Railways/ Units where these posts are in operation.
3. The cadre restructuring orders will be effective from the date of issue of these orders.
4. Extant instructions including regarding D&A/ Vigilance clearances, minimum qualifying service period reservation of posts, modalities of selection/ suitability for the post will continue to hold good for the cadre restructuring exercise.
5. This issues in consultation with the Establishment (N) Directorate, the concurrence of the Financial Directorate and the approval of the Board (MS, FC, CRB)
