Passes: Entitlement for 1st Class Passes on Request Transfer

No.E(W)2012/PS5-1/4, dated 18.03.2014

Sub: Entitlement for 1^st Class Passes on being medically de-categorized and inter railway transfer on own request basis to lower Grade Pay post – reg.

Ref:  NFIR letter No.I/15/Pt.II, dated 18.11.2013.

The matter has been examined. It has been observed that the essence of the letter dated 10.09.2013 is that pass entitlement of railways employees will remain the same even if they are transferred on inter-railway transfer on own request basis.

Accordingly, the railway employees who have been transferred on inter-railway transfer to posts carrying lower scale of pay with pay protection and are already entitled to 1^st class pass shall also be eligible for 1^st class pass, irrespective of their eligibility in terms of Board’s letter No.E(W)2008/PS5-1/38, dated 06.01.2011 (RBE No.03/2011).
