Granting of GP Rs. 5400 in PB-2 (Level 9 in Pay Matrix) on completion of 4 years of service in the GP Rs. 4800 (Level 8 in Pay Matrix) to ASPs on non functional basis

Shri Arup Kumar Seal,
General Secretary,
All India Association of Inspectors and Asstt. Supdt. Posts,
Qtr. No. 12, P&T Colony, Khurshid Square,
Civil Lines, Delhi -110054.

Sub : Granting of GP Rs. 5400 in PB -2 (Level 9 in Pay Matrix) on completion of four years of service in the GP Rs. 4800 (Level 8 in Pay Matrix) to ASPs on non functional basis.

Sir,

I am directed to refer to your letter No.SG/AIAIASP/03/2018 on the above mentioned subject and to inform that the issue of granting NFSG in pre­ revised GP Rs. 5400/- in PB-2 corresponding to Level 9 to Asstt. Superintendent Posts on completion of four years of service in the pre-revised GP Rs. 4800/- (Level 8 in Pay Matrix) has been examined with following observations:-

i. The NFSG Scale is given to AAOs in P&T Accounts vide MoF OM No. 25-2/2017- IC/E.III (A) dated 18.06.2018 as per recommendations of 7th CPC in Para 11.12.140 of the report whereas there is no such recommendation for ASP cadre. Moreover, AAOs in P&T Accounts are having all India Transfer Liability and on contrast, the ASP is a Circle level cadre. Further, ASPs are enjoying Rule 38 transfer from one Circle to other whereas there is no such provision for AAOs. As such, the plea for granting NSFG to ASP cadre in line of AAO cadre as mentioned in the representation is not tenable.

ii. There is different time span in promoting IPs to ASPs in Circles as ASP is a Circle level cadre. In some Circles IPs get promotion in ASPs cadre immediately after completion of minimum qualifying years of service in IP cadre viz 3 years (now 5 years) whereas in some Circles IPs are waiting their hierarchical promotion in ASP cadre even after regular service of 10-13 years in the cadre. The NSFG Scale would not only make a huge disparity in pay among ASPs who are originally entered in IP cadre on the basis of same examination and are borne on the same IP gradation list.

Therefore, the proposal to grant NSFG to Asstt. Superintendent Posts on completion of four years of service cannot be recommended.

Yours sincerely,

Review of mode of promotion from “Selection” to “Non- Selection” for the post of Shunting Master

RBE No. 63/2019

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)

No.E(NG)I/2015/PM 1/11

New Delhi, dated April 23, 2019

The General Managers,
All Zonal Railways &
Production Units.
(as per standard mailing list)

Sub: Review of mode of promotion from “Selection” to “Non- Selection” for the post of Shunting Master, Grade-I in GP Rs.4200, Level-6 and Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP Rs.2400.

As the Railway Administrations are aware, in terms of instructions contained in Railway Boards letter No.E(NG)I/2000/PM 2/4 dated 30.10.2001, the classification of posts in the category of Shunting Masters is as under:-

S.No Category Classification
1 Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP Rs.2400, Level-4. Selection
2 Shunting Master, Grade-l in GP Rs.4200′, Level-6. Non-Selection

References have been received from Zonal Railways, expressing difficulty in filling up the post of Shunting Master, Grade-II by “selection” process due to educational qualification level and constraints in writing skills of the staff in the feeder categories. Both recognized Staff Federations (AIRF & NFIR) have raised this Issue with the matter figuring in AIRF’s PNM agenda also in item nos.20/2015 and 57/2015.

The matter has been examined, in consultation with the Traffic Directorate. To tide over this acute problem in most of the Railways, it has been decided that the vacancies in the posts of Shunting Master, Grade-II in GP Rs.2400, Level-4 may be filled up by “Non-Selection” process as a onetime dispensation only. In the case of any ongoing selection to the post, Railways may decide at their level on continuing with the same or on adopting the “Non-Selection” process as a onetime dispensation.

Please acknowledge receipt.
