Sub : Induction of Female employees in Railway and other Central Government Departments — reg.
Dear Sir,
The undersigned is directed to refer to NFIR’s letter No. 11/1/2019 dated 29.01.2019 on the above subject and to state that there is no ban in place against recruitment of female candidates to Track Maintainers Category though admittedly the naure of the job and working conditions are strenuous/tough. Notifications for Level-1 recruitment are underway in which a significant portion is for Track Maintainers. With finalization of above 2 recruitments ( CEN 02/2018 & CEN1/RRC/2019), position should ease and transfers of eligible Trackmen to other Department as provided for in rules should be able to be effected without problems.
It is hoped that the Federation would appreciate the position.
Revision of 7th CPC Pension for Pre-2016 Pensioners – NFIR
No.II/35/2018
Dated: 30-03-2019
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: Implementation of Government’s decision on the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission – Revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners/family pensioners etc-reg.
Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. 20161F(E)III/1(1)/7 dated, 22/05/2017.
Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to the instructions issued vide letter dated 22/05/2017 (RBE No.49/2017 and PC-VII No. 20/2017) wherein a copy of Department of pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP & PW)’s O.M. No.38/37/2016-P&PW (A) dated 12th May, 2017 on the above cited subject was forwarded with direction that these instructions apply mutatis and mutandis on the Railways also.
It has been brought to the notice of the Federation by the Railway pensioners/family pensioners that the orders issued by the DoP & PW Railway Board vide O.M. dated 12th May, 2017/letter dated 22/05/2017 are disadvantageous to those pensioners who were drawing compulsory retirement pension or compassionate Allowance due to the reason that pension revision in their favour has been denied vide Para 11 of O.M. dated 12th May, 2017 while the said order permits revision for all other pre-2016 pensioners /family pensioners.
Further Federation desires to state that all the pensioners who retired before 01/01/2016, the revised pension/family pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016 has been granted with 2.57 multiplication as has been fixed at the time of implementation of 6th CPC recommendations. These orders were made applicable uniformly to all types of pensioners including family pensioners without any discrimination. However, on raising the issue by the Staff Side/JCM to revise the pension/family pension as per 7th CPC recommendation, the Government have conceptualized new formulation of calculation of notional pay/notional pension and accordingly DoP & PW vide O.M. No. 38/37/2016- P&PW (A) dated 12th May, 2017 (Railway Board’s letter No. 2016/F(E)III/1(1)/7 dated 22/05/2017- RBE No. 49/2017) have issued instructions for revision of pension/family pension duly reckoning notional pay/notional pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016.
NFIR, further states that while the earlier order dated 04th August,2016 (para 4.1) issued by DoP&PW wad made applicable universally to all pensioner /family pensioners whether they retired on superannuation or voluntarily or retired compulsorily duly applying 2.57 multiplication factor, the revised orders of DoP&PW vide O.M. dated 12th May, 2017 for revision of pension/family pension on notional pay/notional pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016 have discriminated those pensioners who have been drawing pension having been compulsorily retired, is really unfortunate.
Federation is constrained to convey that the discrimination against a section of pensioners and denial of pension revision to them is not only arbitrary but also unjustified which action may lead to litigation’ Federation also reminds the Railway Board that in the past when the pension was revised from time to time pursuant to the recommendations of previous pay Commissions, such discrimination was never done and all the pensioners were treated equally.
NFIR & therefore, requests the Railway Board to kindly arrange to make out a case pursuant to this representation and approach DoP&PW for issuing modified instructions duly deleting para 11 of O.M. dated 12th May, 2017. copy of the proposal sent the DoP&PW may please be made available to the Federation for follow up action.
Yours faithfully,

Reckoning of pay element for revision of pension of pre–2016 retired Loco Inspectors
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)
PC-VII No. 128
RBE No. 41/2019
No. E(P&A)II/2018/RS/12
New Delhi, dated : 06.03.2019
The General Managers,
All Indian Railways &PUs.
Sub : Reckoning of pay element for revision of pension of pre–2016 retired Loco Inspectors.
*****
Please refer to Board’s letter number D-43/34/2017-F(E)III, dt. 24.01.2018 (RBE No.13/2018) regarding revision of pension of pre-2016 retired running staff. After issue of this letter dt. 24.01.2018 references have been received from the recognized Federations and some of the Zonal Railways for issuing of instructions for revision of pension of pre-2016 retired Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors.
2. Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors are eligible for reckoning of 30% pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits w.e.f. 01.01.1993 in terms of paragraph No. 5.5 of Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II/83/RS-10(iv) dated 25.11.1992. When a Loco Inspector has rendered less than 10 months service as Loco Inspector as per revised scheme effective from 01.01.1993, reckoning of pay element is admissible on pro-rata basis e.g. if a Loco Inspector has rendered only 5 months service he will be entitled to only 15% pay element.
3. The reckoning of pay element for revision of pension of Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors who have retired/died between/on 01.01.1993 and 31.12.2015 have been shown in the Annexure attached herewith.
4. Other conditions stipulated in DoP&PW’s OM dated 12.05.2017 & 06.07.2017 will apply in the case of Loco Inspectors also. It is also clarified that higher of the two formulations i.e. the pension/family pension already revised in accordance of Board’s letter No. 2016/F(E)III/1(1)/7 dated. 10.08.2016 or the revised pension/family pension as worked out in accordance with para 3 above, shall be granted to pre-2016 retired Loco Inspectors as revised pension/family pension w.e.f 01.01.2016.
5. Loco Inspectors and Chief Loco Inspectors who have retired/died before 01.0.1.1993 are not eligible for reckoning of 30% pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits, therefore, their notional fixation of pay for revision of pension would be done in the same way as being done in the case of non-running staff in general.
6. For those Loco Inspectors who have retired after 01.01.2016, the reckoning of pay element for calculation of emoluments for pensionary benefits would be administered in terms of Board’s letter No. E(P&A)II-2015/RS-25 dated 13.11.2017 till further orders.
