Revision: RBE No.05/2000 – In Disciplinary Action After Retirement

No.E(D&A)93 RG6-61, dated 11.01.2000

Sub:  Revision of a disciplinary action after the retirement of Railway employee from Service.

Attention of the Railways is invited to item (v) of the clarifications to the RS (D&A) Rules issued under Board’s letter No.E(D&A) 96/RG6-22, dated 03.10.1996 (RBE No.98/1996) regarding permissibility of revision under Rule 25 of RS (D&A) Rules after retirement of the railway employee. The matter has since been considered in consultation with the Department of Personnel and Ministry of Laws and it has been decided that revision/ review of cases already finalised before retirement of the Railway employee cannot be initiated after his retirement with a view to impose a cut in his pensionary benefits. There is however, no bar to continuing under Rule 9 of RS (Pension) Rules, 1993, the revisionary proceedings initiated by way of suo moto revision provided show cause notice had been issued before retirement or where a revision petition submitted by the employee was pending on the date of his retirement from service.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.

(This also disposes of South Central Railway’s letter No.P.90/UBL/SGC/2300/97, dated 14.09.1999).
