Non-practicing Allowance: RBE No.38/2000 – Payable to Medical Officers

No.F(E)I/99/AL-28/14, dated 09.03.2000

PC-V No.257

Sub:  Reckoning of Non-practicing Allowance (NPA) payable to Medical Officers for the purpose of computation of TA entitlements including Composite Transfer Grant.

1. Some Railways have sought clarification whether the Non-Practicing Allowance admissible to Railway Doctors is to be taken into account for determining the TA entitlements (including Composite Transfer Grant).

2. In this connection attention is invited to Board’s letter No.PC-V/97/I/7/15, dated 13.04.1998 (RBE No.74/1998), which stipulates that NPA is to be reckoned as pay for all service benefits. Accordingly NPA is also to be added to the basic pay of the Railway Doctors for computing their TA entitlements (including Composite Transfer Grant), subject to the prescribed ceiling of Rs.29,500.

3. Hindi version will follow.
