7th Central Pay Commission – Transport Allowance to the Railway Employees – Deprival of higher rate to those working in pay Level 1 & 2

No.IV/NFIR/7 CPC (Imp)/Allowance/2016/Part I

Dated: 05-04-2018

The Secretary (E)
Railway Board
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Government’s decision on recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission – Transport Allowance to the Railway Employees – Deprival of higher rate to those working in pay Level 1 & 2 – reg.

Ref: (i) Railway Board’s letter No.PC-v/2017/A/TA/1 dated 17-08-207 (RBE No.96/2017)

       (ii) NFIR’s letter No.IV/NFIR/7 CPC/Allowance/2016/Part I dated 28-08-2017

       (iii) Railway Board’s letter No.PC-V/2015/PNM/NFIR/4 dated 17/20-11-2017

Federation does not agree with the view taken by the Railway Ministry in this case as conveyed to NFIR vide Board’s letter dated 17/20-11-2017, Federation wants that the Railway Ministry should prepare proper case based on the facts and contentions of NFIR as explained in our letter dated 28-08-2017 to be placed before DoP&T/MoF.

II. Federation reiterates that as a result of issuance of instructions dated 17-08-2017, a situation has arisen wherein the Railway employees in pay level 3, drawing pay Rs.21,700/- and above upto level 8 hitherto entitled for Transport Allowance @ Rs.3600 + DA thereon (in A1/A class cities and in other cities @ Rs.1800 + Da thereon) have been deprived of the said rate due to the new norm for entitlement only when their pay reaches Rs.24,200/-

III. Further it is relevant to take note that pursuant to aceptance of the recommendations of 5th CPC and 6th CPC, the rates revised as follows:-

(a) Recommendations of 5th CPC – Transport Allowance
RBE No.179/1997 (Rates w.e.f 01-08-1997)

S.No

Pay Scale of the Employees

A1/A Class City

Other Places

1

Rs.8000-13500 or above

800

400

2

Rs.6500-10500 or above but below

Rs.8000-13500

400

200

3

Below Rs.6500-10500

100

75

Above position reveals that all the employees working in pay scale below Rs.6500-10500 i.e. upto Rs.6000-9800 (s1 to s10A) were allowed Transport Allowance at the uniform rate of Rs.100/- p.m in A1/A class cities irrespective of their pay.

(b) The Railway Board vide circular (RBE No.111/2008 – effective from 01-09-2008 and RBE No.95/2015) had prescribed following rates for payment of Transport Allowance to the Railway Employees.

Employees drawing Grade Pay of

Rate of Transport Allowance For A1/A Class cities

GP 5400 & above

3200 + DA

GP 4200 – 4800

GP below 4200 and pay in pay band = Rs.7440

1600 + DA

GP  below 4200 and Pay below Rs.7440

`600 + DA

IV. From the comparison of two tables mentioned above, it could be seen that the Railway employees were allowed higher rate of Transport Allowance on drawing Pay Rs.7440/- irrespective of Grade Pay/Pay Band. The modified Board’s instructions issued vide letter dated 03-08-2017 and 17-08-2017, have deprived the Transport Allowance @ Rs.3600+DA thereon to those in pay Level 1 and 2 (7th CPC) due to imposition of restriction i.e. reaching the pay Rs.24700/- ignoring the fact that the staff were already drawing pay @ Rs.7440 in 6th CPC Pay Band/Grade Pay.

Federation, therefore requests the Railway Ministry to kindly arrange to make out case in the light of NFIR’s contentions for rendering justice to those staff of pay level 1 & 2 for granting Transport Allowance at rate i.e.3600/- + DA thereon when they reach the corresponding pay @Rs.21700/- and not 24200/- to meet the ends of justice and refer to MoF. A copy of the reference made to the MoF may be endorsed to the Federation for taking follow up action.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
