Clarification on enrollment of the substitutes under National Pension System and commencement of the deduction

(As per mailing list)

Sub : Clarification on enrollment of the substitutes under National Pension System and commencement of the deduction.

********

References and queries are being received in Board’s office seeking clarification whether TADK/Substitutes will be covered by the instructions issued vide Board’s letter No.2004/AC-II/21/1 dated 19.11.2004 after completion of 4 months of continuous service (i.e. on attaining temporary status) and whether they can be enrolled under NPS before completion of mandatory screening test after 03 years or applicable period of service.

2. The issue has been examined in consultation with Establishment Directorate of this office. It is clarified that the instructions issued vide Board’s letter No.2004/AC-II/21/1 dated 19.11.2004 are not applicable in the case of substitutes. since as per the instructions contained in Board’s letter No. E(NG)-11/2008/SB/SR/15 dated 17.09.2010. Substitutes are engaged against a vacant post on regular scales of pay and allowances applicable to the post. Further. in terms of letter ibid, the period of service of substitutes is counted for full pensionary benefits from the date of completion of four months continuous service provided it is followed by absorption in regular service, without any break. Therefore. TADK/Substitutes shall be covered under National Pension System (NPS) after completion of 4 months of continuous service. i.e. on attaining temporary status and accordingly. deduction under NPS would start from the date of their attaining temporary status. This deduction of NPS, would, by itself however. confer no vested right/claim to the TADKs/Substitutes concerned for their eventual regularization/absorption in Railway service.

Ref: Board’s letter No. E(P&A)1-2017/SP-1/Gen1-5 dated 02.01.2018.

*****

The conditions governing the admissibility of Extra Work Allowance (erstwhile Rajbhasha Allowance) to the Sr. Scale, JA Grade and SA Grade officers entrusted with administrative control of Hindi work are enumerated in Board’s orders of even number dated 02.01.2018. References have been received in Board’s Office seeking clarification regarding continuance of same officer as Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Chief Rajbasha Adhikari/ Additional Rajbhasha Adhikari beyond the period of one year in absence of suitable eligible officer to be nominated as such and admissibility of Extra Work Allowance to them in view of the stipulated conditions that an employee shall receive this allowance for a maximum period of one year and that there should be a minimum gap of one year before the same employee is deployed for similar duties again.

2. The matter has been examined in Board’s Office in consultation with Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) and it has been decided that the conditions governing Extra Work Allowance are to be adhered to strictly by all the Railways. In case, however, a suitable replacement is still unavailable for being nominated as Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Chief Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Additional Rajbhasha Adhikari for the second year, the existing incumbent may continue to discharge his duties as Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Chief Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Additional Rajbhasha Adhikari for the second year also, but without payment of Extra Work Allowance. The payment of this Allowance will resume from the 3rd year, if the same officer(s) continue(s) to be nominated as Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Chief Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Additional Rajbhasha Adhikari. Similarly, in case the same employee continues to be entrusted with administrative control of Hindi Work for the 4th year, he will do so without payment of the Extra Work Allowance, which will resume in the 5th year, if the same officer(s) continue(s) to work as Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Chief Rajbhasha Adhikari/ Additional Rajbhasha Adhikari.
