No.E(P&A)I-2008/All/RPF/2, dated 02.01.2009

PC-VI No.01/09

Sub: Grant of Compensation in lieu of holidays to Non-gazetted RPF/RPSF personnel for attendance on gazetted holidays – Implementation of 6th CPC’s recommendation.

1.     As the Railways are aware there is a provision for grant of cash compensation to Non-gazetted RPF/RPSF personnel in lieu of their attendance on gazetted holidays equivalent to the amount upto one month’s salary in a year. Pursuant to recommendation of VI CPC, pay scales have been revised w.e.f. 01.01.2006. Since payment of compensation equivalent to one month’s salary has already been made to them for the years 2005-06, 2006-07 & 2007-08 as per pre-revised scales, payment of difference w.e.f. 01.01.2006 as per revised pay scales to RPF/RPSF personnel may be made. All other terms and conditions for payment of such cash compensation shall remain unchanged.

2.     This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
