RBE No. 09/2009: Privilege Passes – Entitlement
No.E(W)2008/PS 5-1/43, dated 15.01.2009
PC-VI No.71
Sub: Regulation of entitlement of Privilege Passes pending issue of orders on the basis of the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission.
1. A question has been raised as to how the entitlement of Privilege Passes should be regulated in respect of persons whose pay may be fixed in the revised scales of pay, promulgated under the RS(RP) 2008, pending issue of revised pay limits.
2. It is hereby clarified that the ‘Pay’ in the pre-revised scale (Vth Central Pay Commission Scale) should continue to be the basis of gradation and related entitlement. In respect of the persons continuing in posts held prior to 01.01.2006 whose pay may be fixed in the revised Pay Bands/ Scales of ‘Pay’ for purpose of passes will be the ‘Pay’ in the Vth Central Pay Commission Scale that would have been drawn but for fixation of pay in the revised Pay Bands/ Scales. In the case of persons who are either appointed to different posts on or after 01.01.2006 or initially recruited on or after that date the ‘notional’ pay which they would have drawn in the pre-revised scales but for the introduction of the revised Pay Bands/ Scales, should be taken into account.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Dte. Of the Ministry of Railways.
