RBE No. 144/1990: Fixation of Pay – Loco Supervisory Staff

No.E(P&A)II/88/RS-12, dated 14.09.1990

Sub: Anomaly in the fixation of pay of Loco Supervisory staff appointed prior to 01.01.1986 with reference to juniors appointed after 01.01.1986 and drawing more pay than the seniors.      

1.     Reference is invited to para 2(i) of Board’s letter of even number, dated 16.09.1988 (RBE No. 209/1988) on the above subject, wherein it has been laid down as a condition for a stepping up of pay of the senior that the notional pay of the junior in the revised (Fourth Pay Commission) scale of Rs.2000-3200 hypothetically fixed on the assumption that the junior was also appointed in the pre-revised Loco Supervisory grade prior to 01.01.1986, should be less than that of the senior. The matter has been considered further and it has been found that anomaly of the senior drawing less pay than the junior in the revised scales would be present even in cases where the notional pay of the junior in the revised (Fourth Pay Commission) scale of Rs.2000-3200 fixed hypothetically on the assumption state above happens to be equal to that of the senior. Accordingly, the Board have decided that a senior Loco Supervisor appointed prior to 01.01.1986 and fixed in the revised scale of Rs.2000-3200 will be entitled to the stepping up of pay envisaged in para 2(i) of Board’s letter of 16.09.1988 (RBE No. 209/1988) under reference where the notional pay of the junior in the revised (Fourth Pay Commission) scale of Rs.2000-3200 hypothetically fixed on the assumption that he was appointed to the pre-revised Loco Supervisory grade prior to 01.01.1986, is either equal to or less than that of the senior, subject to other codal conditions being fulfilled.

2.     This has the approval of the President and issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.
