RBE No. 208/1989: Fixation of Pay – NFSG

No.PC-IV/86/Imp./42, dated 14.08.1989

Sub: Fixation of pay of persons holding pre-revised non-functional selection grade to revised pay scales on personal scale.

1. On the basis of the Recommendation of the IV Pay Commission, the scale of Rs.2000-3200 has been introduced in the organized Accounts Cadres with effect from 01.01.1986. However, the Commission had left the question of determination of number of posts to be placed in the higher functional scale to be decided by the Government. Naturally when functional scale is introduced, appointments have to be based on normal promotion procedure. Pending the decision regarding number of posts to be placed and the functional scales and promotional criteria to be adopted, the incumbents in the pre-revised scale of Rs.775-1000 were placed in the corresponding revised scale of Rs.2000-3200 with effect from 01.01.1986 on personal basis. As such, they are not entitled to the benefit of FR 22-C/ 1316 R.II when appointed in a scale on personal basis and the pay in revised scales, like all other cases, is fixed under Rule 7 of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 1986. The number of posts in the higher scales Rs.2000-3200, and promotional criteria to be adopted was decided during 1987, and accordingly the appointment on functional basis are effective from 01.04.1987. On appointment on functional basis, these employees become entitled to benefit of FR 22-C/ 1316 R.II. As regards persons who were in the pre-revised scale of Rs.775-1000 and were placed in the revised pay scale of Rs.2000-3200 on personal basis, there is no question of application of FR 22-C/ 1316 R.II, as there is no appointment on functional basis in such cases, involving promotion as per normal procedure.

2. On certain Railways fixation of pay under FR 22-C has been given from 01.01.1986 where fixation has been given from 01.01.1986 under FR 22-C, necessary action should be taken to re-fix the pay of the concerned staff correctly. Overpayments involved in such cases may be worked out and necessary recovery made for the period from 01.01.1986 to 31.03.1987.
