PLB for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen – AIRF to Rly Board

Productivity Linked Bonus for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen – AIRF to Rly Board

No.AIRF/387 Dated: August 19, 2019

The Chairman,
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Productivity Linked Bonus for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen

You may recall that, Productivity Linked Bonus has been an outcome of bilateral agreement arrived at between Ministry of Railways(Railway Board) and Staff Side (Federations) on 22.11.1979. The formula for calculation of PLB, that was formulated as a result of aforementioned agreement, is sacrosanct, on the basis of which payment of Productivity Linked Bonus is being made to all eligible Railway employees every year till last financial year.

It is worthwhile to mention here that, the Indian Railways are running around 22,000 pairs of trains per day, carrying more than two-and-a-half crore passengers and a substantially high volume of freight traffic. This is only possible with the dedicated and sincere services rendered by the Railway employees, the number of whom has drastically reduced over the years despite tremendous increase in the workload with addition of new trains, new railway lines, stations and other installations during this period. It is only because of their dedication and sincere efforts that, the wheel of the Indian Railways are moving in a hassle-free manner in all weathers, and even under arduous conditions round-the-clock, which is ultimately a tool of progress of our country. It is also a well-established fact that, the Railwaymen, to the tune of 400-600, sacrifice their lives while performing their duties every year, and this figure is even higher than the number of Armed Force Personnel.

It is worth-mentioning here that, the Railwaymen, putting their all efforts, have increased Net Tonne Kilometres and broken the record of carrying Freight as well as Passengers.

It would, therefore, be in all appropriateness, that the number of days, calculated for PLB, should be enhanced this year.

Yours faithfully,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh approves extension of benefits of Child Care Leave to single male service personnel

10 AUG 2019 12:26PM

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has approved extension of benefits of Child Care Leave (CCL) to single male service personnel and certain relaxations of CCL provisions in case of woman officers of defence forces, in line with a recent DoPT order extending similar benefits of CCL to civilian employees.

Presently, CCL is being granted to woman officers in defence forces. Recently, DoPT has made certain amendments for grant of CCL to civilian employees, whereby the CCL granted to woman employees till now has been extended to single male government servants also. The age limit of 22 years prescribed earlier in the case of a child with 40 percent disability has been removed for the purpose of availing CCL. Further, the minimum period of CCL that can be availed at a time has been reduced to 05 days instead of 15 days.

Now the proposal of Ministry of Defence extending similar benefits to Defence personnel has been approved by Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh. With this, single male service personnel will be able to avail the benefit of CCL. Single male service personnel and woman officers of defence forces will also be able to avail CCL in respect of child with 40 percent disability without any restriction of age limit of the child. Further, the minimum period of CCL that can be availed in each spell has been reduced to 05 days from the earlier limit of 15 days.

Non-functional Scale to Gr.’B’ officers in Level-11 – Railway Clarification

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)

No. E(GP)2003/2/22

New Delhi, dated: 06.08.2019

The General Managers,
All Indian Railways & Production Units

Sub : Clarification on grant of Non-functional Scale to Gr.’B’ officers in Level-11 of Accounts Department and Level-10 in organized departments of Indian Railways – reg.

In terms of Ministry of Railways’ Gazette Notification G.S.R.210(E) dated 08.03.2018 (RBE No. 37/2018), the higher scale of Level-11 in Accounts department and Level-10 in other organised departments has to be operated to the extent of 100% of the Gr. ‘B’ officers on-roll including Gr. ‘B’ officers officiating in Level-11 on ad-hoc basis after completion of 4 years of regular service in the respective grades in organized departments. Subsequently, detailed guidelines outlining the procedure have also been issued vide Board’s letter no. E(GP) 2003/2/22) dated 12.12.2018 (RBE No. 192/2018).

2. It has been observed that references are being received from various Zonal Railways seeking clarification on issues relating to the aforementioned scheme. In the past, several clarifications have been issued to various Zonal Railways over a number of issues. Therefore, in order to provide clarity on the issue, these clarifications are being summarised as under:.

S.No Doutbt Remarks
1 Whether Gr. ‘B’ officers completing 4 years of regular service are to be granted NFS from the next date or from 1st January or 1st July of the following year. The date of effect of placement in the higher Group ‘B’ non-functional grade will be the date when the officer becomes eligible i.e. when the officer completes four years of regular service in the relevant grade.
2 Clarification whether Gr ‘B’ officers on deputation, on the date of their consideration for grant of NFS to be taken to be on roll or total no. of Gr. ‘B’ officers be computed excluding their names. Officers on deputation to other departments may be granted Non­ functional Scale of Level-10 notionally from 08.03.2018 while the actual benefit will accrue to them on return from deputation and joining the cadre.
3 Grading of APAR for allotment of higher scale of Level-11 to Gr. ‘B’ officers of Accounts Department and Level- 10 of other organised Departments. The benchmark for grant of NFS of Level-11 to Gr. ‘B’ officers of Accounts Department and Level-10 of other organised Departments would continue to be ‘Good’.
4 Whether Gr. ‘B’ officers ‘On-roll’ includes officers on deputation. Yes. The term Gr. ‘B’ officers on-roll mentioned in Board’s letter dated 08.03.2018 also include officers who are having their lien on the Railway but are working elsewhere on deputation.
5 APARs Five years APARs are required to be considered. If any APARs is not available, the APARs of the immediately preceding year/years to that extent may be taken into account even if it pertains to non-gazetted period of service.
6 Whether a senior employee can be considered for grant of NFS with his junior having already completed 4 years of service. For consideration of officers for placement in the higher Gr. ‘B’ Scale of Level-10 (Level-11 in case of Accounts department), the senior Group ‘B’ employee shall be deemed to have rendered the service put in by his immediate junior and if that happens 4 years or more he should be considered for placement in higher Gr. ‘B’ scale of Level-10 (Level-11 in case of Accounts department).
7 Extended Panel is required to be formed in lieu of officers who would be retiring during the intervening period. Since the posts are being operated at 100% and officers are being granted the benefit from the date on which they are becoming eligible (through assessment being done on the prescribed date), formation of extended panel is not required.
8 Whether service rendered in the Gr. ‘B’ in the previous unit can be considered for grant of NFS. The issue may be decided in terms of Board’s Letter No. E(GP)2005/1/43 dated 16.12.2005.

MoD clarifies there is no proposal to privatise OFB

In continuation of the meeting held on August 14, a Committee of senior officials of Ministry of Defence led by Additional Secretary, Department of Defence Production alongwith Chairman, Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) once again met the office bearers of the All India Defence Employees Federation, Indian National Defence Workers Federation, Bhartiya Pratiksha Mazdoor Sangh and Confederation of Defence Recognized Association here today on the issue of Strike notice given by them starting with effect from August 20, 2019. The meeting was also attended by officials from the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India.

The Committee also pointed out that the employees’ call for 30 days’ strike was unprecedented, especially when Government has already agreed to their demand to hold discussions at the MoD level and is in process of continuously engaging with them.

The Committee explained to the employee organisations that there is no proposal to privatise OFB.The proposal under consideration of Government is to make it into Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), which is 100 per cent Government owned. Rumours being spread that OFB is being privatised are misguiding and with the intent to mislead the workers. Corporatisation of OFB will bring OFB at par with other DPSUs of MoD. This is in the interest of OFB as it will provide operational freedom and flexibility to OFB which it presently lacks. Besides, the interests of the workers will be adequately safeguarded in any decision taken on the subject.

The Committee also pointed out that Government has been continuously trying to strengthen the functioning of OFB, including having taken several steps to modernise the factories, carry out capital upgradation, re-train and re-skill OFB employees at Government costs, enable development of products and components with indigenous technology.The Committee urged the employee organisations to recognise Government’s efforts to make OFB into a competitive, productive and efficient organisation with higher turnover and enhanced profitability, which would also be in the interest of the employees. Therefore, the Committee once again urged the employee organisations to withdraw their proposed strike.
