No.E(G)99 AL1/20, dated 07.04.2000

Sub:   Amendment to para 1004 and 1005 of IREM Vol.I of IREM (1989 edition) – Raising the limit in respect of investigation of arrear claims (item 44/99 PNM/AIRF).

In terms of paragraph 1004 of IREM Vol.I (1989 edition) General Managers are authorized to sanction an investigation of arrear claims when the claim is not over three years old (irrespective of the amount involved) and when the claim is over three years old but the amount of the claim pertaining to the period beyond three years does not exceed Rs.1,000. In terms of para 1005 ibid, in cases where the amount of the claim for the period beyond three years exceeds Rs.1,000 investigation of the portion within the three years limit is sanctioned by the General Manager and the balance (i.e. portion beyond three years) is referred to Railway Board for orders.

On the demand of AIRF in the PNM Meeting held on 30.11/01.12.1999, the matter has been considered by Railway Board. It has been decided to enhance the existing ceiling of Rs.1,000 (Rupees One Thousand) referred to above to Rs.5,000 (Rupees Five Thousand). The existing time limit will however, continue to be three years.

Accordingly, Ministry of Railways have amended paragraphs 1004 and 1005 of IREM Vol.I (1989 edition) as per the Advance Correction Slip No.97 appended below.
