(a) Where the State Government have revised the Pay scales of their employees on the pattern of Vth Central Pay Commission at the CPI 1510 w.e.f. 01.01.1996, the pay of these State Government employees on their appointment to the posts under the administrative control of Ministry of Railways would be fixed directly under normal rules i.e. Rule 1313 [FR 22(1)(a)(2)] R-II/1987 Edition or Rule 1313 [FR 22(1)(a)(1)] R-II/1987 Edition, as the case may be.
(b) Where the State Government have revised the Pay scales of their employees after 01.01.1996 beyond CPI 1510, basic pay of the employees is to be determined first in the Railway Scales by reducing the element of DA, ADA, IR etc., granted by the State Government after 01.01.1996 (beyond CPI 1510) and thereafter the pay would be fixed under normal rules i.e. Rule 1313 [FR 22(1)(a)(1)] R-II/1987 Edition or Rule 1313 [FR 22(1)(a)(2)] R-II/1987 Edition, as the case may be.
