S.No. PC-V/245

Sub:  Admissibility of RSRP Rules, 1997 to the employees on sick leave on 01.01.1996 and whose services had been terminated due to medical invalidation, without resuming their duty.

The matter regarding applicability of RSRP Rules, 1997 to Railway servants who had been on sick leave on 01.01.1996 and whose services had been terminated due to medical invalidation before they could resume their duty, had been under consideration in Board’s office in consultation with Department of Personnel & Training and Ministry of Finance. It is clarified in this connection that in terms of Note 3 below Rule 7 of RSRP Rules, 1997, if a Government servant was on leave on 01.01.1996 the benefits of revised scales of pay are admissible to him from the date he resumes duty. In such cases the pay is required to be fixed in the revised scale on 01.01.1996 on notional basis and actual benefit of pay allowed from the date of resuming duty. However, it has now been decided that in relaxation of Note 2 below Rule 6 of RSRP Rules, 1997, even those Railway servants who were on sick leave on 01.01.1996 and had been retired subsequently on medical invalidation without resuming duty, would also be covered under Note 2 below Rule 6 of RSRP Rules, 1997 and they may be allowed the benefit of the revised pay.
