RBE No. 227/2009: Honorarium – Question Papers
No. E(G)2001/HO-1/7, dated 29.12.2009
Sub: Grant of honorarium to the Railway Officers/ Staff for setting of question papers & evaluation of answer sheets for Limited Departmental Competitive Examination held for promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’.
Reference instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number dated 30.03.2009 (RBE No. 44/2009) under which the rates of honorarium payable to Railway officers/ staff for setting of question papers and evaluation of answer sheets for Limited Departmental Competitive Examination held for promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ have been enhanced. It has inter-alia been stipulated in the said instructions that honorarium shall be paid for evaluation of answer sheets only if they are evaluated and returned within one month.
In view of the practical difficulties expressed by some Railways for returning the evaluated answer sheets within one month especially in cases where the number of answer sheets to be evaluated is very large, the matter has been reviewed by the Board and it has been decided that the prescribed time limit of one month may be relaxed to two months in such cases where the number of answer sheets to be evaluated exceeds 250.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
