TA/DA, PF, Pass, Medical and accommodation facilities to the contract Para-Medical Staff working in Railways
No.II/57/Part I
Dated: 08/05/2018
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: TA/DA, PF, Pass, Medical and accommodation facilities to the contract Para-Medical Staff working in Railways-reg.
Federation is thankful to the Railway Board for issuing instructions vide letter No. 2017/Trans/01/Policy/Pt. I dated 12/04/2018 to revise the remuneration of Para-Medical Staff on contracts basis working in the Railway Health Units/Hospitals on Indian Railways.
Federation however feels that the Para-Medical Staff, working on contract basis deserve to be granted following facilities which are presently denied to them:-
No TA/DA is paid to these staff when they are sent on duty to other places
No Provident Fund is deducted from their monthly remuneration and credited to respective EPFO,
These staff are not granted the facility of Pass/PTo, Medical, accommodation etc., though they have been performing duties similar to the regular Para-Medical Railway Staff. They are also not provided periodic rest other than Sunday while they have been performing duties of 12 hours in a day.
Federation also contends that the Para-Medical Staff working on contract basis are entitled for above facilities in terms of the extant provisions of Contract Labour R&A Act, 1970.
NFIR, therefor, requests the Railway Board to kindly consider above points and issue instructions to the GMs of Zonal Railways to grant facilities to the Para-Medical Staff working on contract basis and mitigate their hardships.
A copy of instructions issued may also be endorsed to the Federation.

Dear Sir,
Medical Insurance Scheme – constitution of committee
Please refer to our earlier communication in the subject matter and discussions held on 5th May,2018 with the Negotiating Committee. As desired, we place below the four suggested options:
i) Banks may go back to the earlier Hospitalization Expenses reimbursement Scheme as was in vogue till 9th Bi-partite settlement for employees and dependent family members.
ii) Directly deal with united India Insurance Co.Ltd or any other Insurance Company by calling quotes, without any interference from Broker.
iii) Advise banks to decide on the course of Medical Insurance Scheme on their own. Each Bank can negotiate with Insurance Companies to provide a Scheme tailor made to the requirement of the same.
iv) Continue with the process of appointing two or more brokers to help in assisting the IBA member banks to get a suitable Sheme prepared after getting the best quote as the nuances and fine print of the Insurance Policy and its features & interpretation will not be known to most employees & IBA in the absence of a broke
2.In this context, as suggested by you, we would like to hold a meeting at our stadium House Office on 11.5.2018 at 11.00am to have fruitful deliberation for further course of action regarding Medical Insurance Scheme. You are therefore requested to kindly make it convenient to depute four representatives (two from officers Associations & two from Workmen Unions) to attend the meeting & share the views of the unions & Associations so that the matter may be concluded well in time before renewal.
3.A line of confirmation will be highly appreciated in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
