No.2(13)/E.III Desk/2017, dated 13.06.2018
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Cadre Restructuring of Group ‘C’ categories on Indian Railways – Method of calculation of financial implications.
The undersigned is directed to refer to Ministry of Railways’ O.M. No.PC-III/2013/CRC/4, dated 07.05.2018 seeking clarification/ guidelines with regard to calculation of financial implication and to say that the matter was referred to E.Coord.I Branch of this Department the nodal section. The E.Coord.I Branch, D/c Expenditure has clarified the issue as under:-
(I) For regular temporary posts:
‘Average of Pay Cell-1 (entry pay) & pay cell-10 of proposed Pay Level of the post as per 7th CPC (w.r.t. pre-revised Grade Pay) + DA)
Financial Implication = [Pay Cell-1 + Pay Cell 10) of Pay Level as per 7th CPC] + DA / 2
Concept: Personnel’s posted against any post in particular Pay Level usually get promoted to higher posts within 7-8 years or get MACP after completion of 10 years of services in that particular Pay Level (pre-revised GP). Next person to be recruited against the post either joins at entry pay i.e. Pay Cell-1 or in Pay Cell-1 to 6 of that Pay Level of the post. Hence, financial implication of any post in particular Pay Level may be calculated as ‘Average of Pay Cell-1 (entry pay) & Pay cell-10 of proposed Pay Level of the post as per 7th CPC (w.r.t. pre-revised Grade Pay) + current DA’.
(II) For co-terminus posts:
‘Pay cell 1 (entry pay) of proposed Pay Level as per 7th CPC + DA’
Concept: Co-terminus posts are created in respect to the tenure in respect to the tenure of the Minister/ Member of the organization wherein the tenure of the Minister/ Member is not known (not fixed). In those cases, the financial Implication of the posts in proposed Pay level may be calculated as ‘Pay cell 1 (entry pay) of proposed Pay Level as per 7th CPC (w.r.t. pre-revised Grade Pay) + current DA’.
(III) For HAG level & Apex Level posts i.e. Pay Level – 15 & above:
‘Pay cell 1 (entry pay) of proposed Pay Level as per 7th CPC + DA’
Concept: For HAG levels post (Level-15 & 16), only upto Pay cell-8 & upto Pay cell-4 is mentioned in Pay matrix of 7th CPC respectively. For Apex level (level 17) & Cabinet Secretary (Level 18), only one Pay cell mentioned in pay matrix. It would appropriate to calculate financial implication of the proposed posts in Pay Level-15 & above as “Pay Cell 1 (entry pay) of proposed Pay Level as per 7th CPC (w.r.t. pre-revised Grade Pay) + current DA”.
Note: Pay Levels are the respective levels in 7th CPC Pay Matrix corresponding to the pre-revised Grade Pay of 6th CPC where Pay Cell are sub-levels of the particular Pay Level of 7th CPC as marked in Annexure-I.
