From today onwards i.e. 15th February 2012, anyone of the passengers/the passenger booked on the ticket issued from computerized Passenger Reservation System (PRS counters) and Internet (i-ticket) undertaking journey in AC-3 tier, AC-2 tier, 1st AC, AC Chair Car and Executive Classes will have to carry one of the nine prescribed proofs of identity (in original) during the journey. The passengers of these AC classes would be required to produce the Identity Card in original as and when required failing which all the passengers booked on that ticket will be treated as without ticket and charged accordingly. However, the Identity Card (in original or its photocopy) will not be required at the time of purchase reserved AC tickets from PRS counters or i-ticket. These instructions are valid for all categories of trains, with the above mentioned classes of travel. The Ministry of Railways has taken this decision to prevent misuse of Reserved Train Tickets and reduce cases of travelling on transferred tickets, Ministry of Railways has decided that with effect

In case of passengers who are automatically upgraded by the system from sleeper Class to Air-conditioned class and in case of passengers who are upgraded by on-board ticket checking staff on realization of difference of fare, the condition of carrying proof of identity during the journey will not be applicable.

These fresh instructions are in addition to the existing instructions under which the passengers with Tatkal tickets and e-tickets are already required to carry original proof of identity during the course of Railway journey. In case of Tatkal tickets, self attested photocopy of the Identity Card is required at the time of purchase from the PRS counters or Identity Card details (Number etc.) are to be entered at the time of purchase from internet.

A message on this count will be indicated on the ticket issued in the above said classes through computerized PRS/I-ticket.

Center for Railway Information System (CRIS), an organization under Ministry of Railways, has been asked to make necessary provisions in the software.

The list of valid proofs of identity are as under:-

  • Voter Photo Identity Card issued by Election Commission of India.
  • Passport.
  • PAN Card issued by Income Tax Department.
  • Driving License issued by RTO.
  • Photo Identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government.
  • Student Identity Card with Photograph issued by recognized School/College for their Students.
  • Nationalized Bank Passbook with Photograph.
  • Credit Cards issued by Banks with laminated photograph.
  • Unique Identification Card “Aadhaar”.

The scope of the term “photo identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government” permissible under the scheme is very wide and it covers a large number of photo identity cards, some of which are as under:

  • Pension Pay Orders (PPO)
  • Ration Card with photographs
  • Senior citizen cards.
  • Below Poverty Line (BPL) cards.
  • ESI Cards (with photograph) issued for taking treatment in ESI dispensaries.
  • CGHS Cards (with photograph) issued to individual family members of Central Government employees.

Office Memorandum

Subject:- Concession to persons re-employed in Government Service : Payment of Travelling Allowance- reg.

References have been received whether the Travelling Allowance (TA) admissible to pensioners re-appointed to Govt. service, under SR 107 of FR & SR Part II (Travelling Allowance Rules) includes TA in respect of family of the pensioner and other TA entitlements which a serving Government official is normally entitled to on transfer.

2. The matter has been considered and it has been decided that pensioners re-employed to posts, where holding of a post under the Central Government is a pre-requisite for such re-employment or where the Recruitment Rules of the post to which the pensioner is re-employed provides this as one of the qualifications, would be entitled to Travelling Allowance subject to the following:-

i) The entitlement for Travelling Allowance would be with reference to the post last held and the last pay drawn under the Government, at the time of retirement.

ii) The provisions of SR 116 of the TA Rules, as admissible to Govt. officials on transfer in public interest, would be applicable.

If the re-employed pensioner has not claimed TA on Retirement’ within six months of his retirement and he is re-employed under the Central Govt. before the expiry of six months from his date of superannuation/retirement, he can claim TA on Retirement’ after expiry of the term of his re-employment, with reference to the post held at the time of retirement and pay last drawn at the time of retirement, in terms of Gol Order No. 2 below SR 147. In such an event, the ‘TA on Retirement’ would be reimbursed by the office/organization from where the re-employed pensioner had retired/superannuated.

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pension

Dated 06.02.2012

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub : Fixation of Pay of All India Services on the grant of proforma promotion – regarding.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s instructions regarding fixation of pay of All India Service Officers on grant of proforma promotion, issued vide letter No. 14021/5/2008-AIS-II, dated 29.09.2008, wherein it is provided that:

“In case an IAS officer on deputation to a post gets promoted in his cadre to a post in a higher grade, his pay in the pay band will be fixed with reference to the pay in the pay band of the officer immediately junior to him in the cadre of his service. However, the officer in question would continue to draw the grade pay attached to the deputation post for the remaining duration of the deputation.”

2. However, in certain cases, it has been noticed that the pay of All India Service Officers, on grant of proforma promotion to a higher grade in the parent cadre, has been fixed with reference to the pay of a junior in the cadre who was already drawing more pay than the senior officer even before promotion on account of greater length of his service. It has also been noticed that officers, who get proforma promotion in relaxation of Next Below Rule in terms of DOPT O.M. No. 8/8/84/Estt.(Pay. I), dated 15.07.1985 as no immediate junior is available for appointment to the higher grade against an available vacancy in the cadre, have sought to get their pay fixed with reference to the pay of a junior in the cadre who has not even been promoted to the higher scale in which they have got proforma promotion.

3. The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure and it is clarified that fixation of pay on grant of proforma promotion with reference to the pay of junior only means that the pay in pay-band or pay-scale may be fixed in terms of normal rules applicable in the case of fixation of pay of junior in State cadre by grant of one increment @ 3% of basic pay, subject to the maximum of pay band-4 or the pay scale. However, where the deputation post is in any pay band with a grade pay, the grade pay would remain unchanged and where the deputation post is in a pay scale, the pay scale would remain unchanged.

Direct Employment in Electrical Equipment Industry Set to Increase to 15 lakh and Indirect to 20 lakh by 2012

By
igeadmin

Currently, it is estimated that the electrical equipment industry provides direct employment to 5 lakh people and indirect employment to more than 10 lakh people. This requirement is estimated to increase to 15 lakh direct employment and 20 lakh indirect employment by 2012.

Even today, the electrical equipment industry is facing a major problem in getting skilled and employable manpower which is technically competent, equipped with skills and ready to be deployed. The industry is facing a looming skill gap, which is widening every year. Due to lack of skilled manpower, electrical equipment industry is suffering as it is affecting critical functions like R&D, consultancy, design and detailed engineering work.

The technical education system in the country does not promote innovative thinking. Training being provided in the ITIs is out dated and the trained students are not able to meet the aspirations of the industry. Even the qualified supervisors and engineers are not available. Those who are qualified are not well trained to meet the technical needs of the industry.

Because of the above factors the labour productivity is far less than the labour productivity in China and Korea. This is one of the important reasons for making the industry non-competitive and is also effecting the timely completion of the projects. Therefore, there is very urgent need for training the work force for all the segments of the industry and making changes in the curriculum of the polytechnics and engineering colleges.

One of the Working Groups constituted in the proposed Mission Plan for Electrical Equipment Industry will specifically look into this area and recommend the interventions required.

IEEMA has been also regularly interacting with the Department of Heavy Industry and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to set up Sector Skill Councils in the capital goods and engineering sectors.
