1.     With the reference to certain doubts expressed in the matter, the Ministry of Railways desire to clarify that additional pay/ presumptive pay payable in respect of combination of appointments, vide provisions contained in Rule 2038 (FR-49) R-II, is to be reckoned as ‘pay’ as defined in Rule 2003(21)(a)(iii) R-II, and will therefore count for the purpose of pension and other post-retirement benefits.
