Denial of payment of Breakdown Allowance to the staff working in GP 2000/Level 3 of 7th CPC  – NFIR

No.I/5(g)/Pt.V

Dated: 22/09/2018

The Secretary (E)
Railway Board
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Denial of payment of Breakdown Allowance to the staff working in GP 2000/Level 3 of 7th CPC – reg.

Ref: (i) Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II-2017/BDA-1 30-08-2017 (RBE No.106/2017)
(ii) NFIR’s letter No.I/5(g)/Part V dated 11-04-2018
(iii) Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II-2017/BDA-1 dated 14-09-2018 (RBE No.138/2018)

Pursuant to NFIR’s reference vide letter dated 11/04/2018 relating to admissibility of payment of Breakdown Allowance to the staff working in GP 2000/Level-3 of 7th CPC who were left erroneously in Board’s order dated 30th August,2017 (RBE No.106/2017), Railway Board vide letter dated 14/09/2018 (RBE No.138/2018) have issued clarification for grant of Breakdown Allowance to the Technicians Grade-III though drawing pay in higher pay level under MACPS at the rates prescribed for the post held by the employee. Federation however noticed that the said instructions are not in conformity with the Federation’s demand to grant Breakdown Allowance to the Staff working in GP 2000/Level-3 at the pay received in the same Grade Pay/Pay Level.

In this connection, Federation desires to state that the Breakdown Allowance is treated as Compensatory Allowance and is attached to the extra-ordinary duties performed by such staff. The Board’s clarification dated 14-09-2018 limiting the payment of Breakdown Allowance to the post held by the staff i.e. substantive pay in GP 1900, is unjustified and needs to be corrected suitably to render justice to the staff of Technical Categories.

NFIR, therefore, urges the Railway Board to consider the above points and issue amendment to the clarification to letter dated 14-09-2018 soon duly endorsing copy to the Federation.

Yours faithfully

Sir,

Kind attention is invited to this office letter no.3-8/2010/Pers-IV dated 30.04.2013 and subsequent letter of even no. dated 01.01.2014 vide which the benefits of pay fixation under FR 22(1)(a)(i) was given to officiating JTO’s ( who are the members of AIBSNLEA & SNEA) as per Hon’ble PCAT orders dated 26.08.2010 in OA No.1282/2010 filed by AIBSNLEA and order dated 11.02.2017 in OA No.4116/2015 filed by SNEA from the date they become eligible for pay fixation, after obtaining an undertaking mentioned below;

“I …….. hereby undertake that in the event of success of SLP filed before the Hon’ble Apex court , the amount so paid will be recoverable with or without intervention of CAT or High court.”

In this regard, it is informed that, Apex court has given orders dated 20.07.2018 in SLP No.19274/18, 19271/18 &/19310/18 and order dated 30.07.2018 in SLPNo.19304/18, that ” we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment and order. Consequently, the special leave petitions are dismissed”.

In view of the dismissal of SLP , the case has been re-examined and it has been decided to extend the benefits of pay fixation under FR 22(1) (a)(i) to all similarly placed officials, who are at par with officials ( for whom benefits of pay fixation under FR22(1) (a) (i) had already been granted) in accordance with instructions issued frOm this office letter no.3-8/2010/Pers-IV dated 01.01.2014 and Letter no. 3-32/2013/Estt-IV dated 22.12.2015 (both letters are available on BSNL Intranet).

Since SLP filed by BSNL has been dismissed , No undertaking is required from the officials while fixing their pay under FR 22(1)(a)(i). The undertaking already taken from such officials may be withdrawn.

You are therefore requested to take further action accordingly.

This is being issued with the approval of Competent Authority.

Yours faithfully
