N.B. |
1. Qualifications, experience and eligibility conditions for promotion and direct recruitment (wherever applicable) to the posts in merged Grade Pay Rs.4200 will be same, as was applicable for posts in pre-revised grades Rs.5000-8000 and 6500-10500, respectively. |
||||||
|
|
2. Intension of prescribing a common cadre in Grade Pay Rs.4600 in Printing Presses, is not to disturb the existing practice prevalent on Railways, i.e., wherever separate cadres exist upto the posts of Sr. Section Engineers in pre-revised grade Rs.7450-11500 in each wing viz. Machine, Composing, Reading etc., the same may be continued as such with the revised classification as indicated above. Meaning thereby that promotion to the merged grade of Section Engineer and Sr. Section Engineer in grade pay Rs.4600, may be made on the basis of seniority-cum-suitability. |
