RBE No. 196/2008: Encashment of LAP – 6th CPC
No.F(E)III/2008/LE-1/1, dated 12.12.2008
PC-VI/59
Sub: Sixth Central Pay Commission – Recommendation relating to encashment of LAP – Acceptance of.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board that in response to Board’s letter of even number dt. 29.10.2008 (RBE No. 161/2008), a large number of applications are being received from the Railway servants for sanction of LAP for the purpose of availing of the benefit of encashment of LAP for 10 days. Acceding to the requests of such a large number of Railway servants for sanction of LAP all together is fraught with the possibility of serious disruption to train operations, which is not in the interest of the nation. Considering the gravity of the situation, it has been decided by the Ministry of Railways that the Railway servants who are directly engaged in running of trains viz. all the running staff including Drivers, Assistant Drivers, Motormen, Shunters, Guards etc. and Station Masters/ Assistant Station Masters should be exempted from the requirement of availing of passes and equal duration of LAP for availing the benefit of encashment of 10 days of LAP. Zonal Railways are, therefore, requested to sanction encashment of LAP upto 10 days to the categories of the Railway servants mentioned above on receipt of requests from them in this regard without insisting on them to avail Railway Passes and apply for LAP of equal duration.
