RBE No. 08/2009: Fixation of Pay – Grade Pay Rs.1800

S.No.

Point of doubt

Clarification

1

How will the pay of those Group ‘D’ officials who do not possess the minimum qualification and have retired/ died in harness from 01.01.2006 till date be fixed in the revised structure? Whether they will be placed in -1S  pay band or in the pay band PB-1 ?

Those Group ‘D’ employees who did not possess the minimum qualification and who have retired/ died in harness between 01.01.2006 and date of notification of Revised Pay Rules will be granted pay in -1S and the grade pay corresponding to their pre-revised pay scale as notified in Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules-2008.

In the case of those Group ‘D’ officials  who were in the pre-revised scale of Rs.2550-55-2660-3200 [e.g. Peon] and who are to be placed in the pay band PB-1 with Grade Pay of Rs.1800 w.e.f. 01.01.2006 and are subsequently granted ACP/ Promotion, is not clear as to what will be their grade pay. If the grade pay remains unchanged, the officials will not be getting any benefit on promotion/ ACP. In case they are granted next higher grade in the hierarchy of revised pay structures, it will put seniors viz. Duftry/ Senior Peons etc. at a disadvantageous position.

Railway servants who have been granted financial up-gradation to a higher scale under the ACP scheme will be granted the grade pay corresponding to the higher pre-revised pay scale that was granted to them under ACP. However, in case of erstwhile Group ‘D’ employees, all such eligible employees will be granted grade pay of Rs.1800 in PB-1, irrespective of their pre-revised Group ‘D’ pay scale whether granted to them on regular appointment/ promotion or under ACP.
