IREC Rule No.1337: (FR-49) Pay On Combination Of Appointments
- (FR-49) Pay On Combination Of Appointments:-
A competent authority may appoint a railway servant already holding a post in a substantive or officiating capacity, to officiate, as a temporary measure in one or more of other separate posts at one time. In such cases his pay shall be regulated as follows;
(a) The highest pay to which he would be entitled if his appointment to one of the posts stood alone, may be draw on account of his tenure of that post;
(b) For each other post he draws such reasonable pay, in no case exceeding half the presumptive pay (excluding overseas pay) of the post as the competent authority may fix; and
(c) If compensatory or sumptuary allowances are attached to one or more of the posts, he draws such compensatory or sumptuary allowances as the competent authority may fix, provided that such allowances shall not exceed the total of the compensatory and sumptuary allowances attached to all the posts;
President’s Order:
The term ‘highest pay’ in clause (a) of this rule should be interpreted as pay admissible to a railway servant under the rules including rule 1329 (FR-35).
Audit Instruction:
Presumptive pay for the purposes of FR-49(b), should, according, to FR-9(24), be taken to what the Government servant who is placed in additional charge, will draw as initial pay in the time-scale of the additional post under FR-22, were he formally transferred to it. In cases, however, in which the maximum of the lower post is less than the pay of the Government servant in his substantive post, the application of the FR-22 is not clear, and accordingly the President has decided under FR-8 that in such a case the maximum of the pay of the lower post should be taken as the presumptive pay for the purposes of FR-49(b).
