OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Clarification regarding calculation of quantum of Annual Increment in pay in case of Running Staff.

Ref.: M/o Finance's OM No. 332469/2016-E IIIA dated 01.02.2017;

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Ministry's OM of even no. dated 30.08.2016 wherein an issue raised by one of the Staff Federations vide PNM Agenda Item No.10/2016 was referred to M/o Finance for examination. The Federation had demanded that the basic pay for the purpose of calculation of increment in the 6th CPC should include Pay element of Running Allowance for the Running staff. This meant that increment of Running Staff should be calculated @3 % of {Basic pay + pay element (presently 30% of Basic Pay)}.

2. This issue was examined in Pay Commission Dte. of Railway Board and a copy of reply sent to one of the Zonal Railways is enclosed as Annex-I.

3. As regards the queries raised by M/o Finance vide 011/1 dated 01.02.2017, it is clarified that a portion of Basic Pay of the Running Staff is treated as a “Pay element of running allowance” which itself falls outside the definition. of Basic Pay as defined in FR(9) (21)(a)(i) but falls in the broader definition of the term "pay" as in FR(9) (21)(a)(iii). The pay element at specified rates is counted for specified purposes only. As per Rule No. 25 of "The Rules for payment of Running and other Allowances to the Running Staff on Railways, 1981" read with para 3.23 of Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II-80/RS- 10 dated 17.07.1981 (Annex-11), the pay element i.e. 30% of the Basic Pay of Running Staff will be reckoned as pay for specified purposes (not for all) such as Dearness Allowances, House Rent Allowance, entitlement to Passes, PTOs etc. It is pertinent to mention here that pay element is not reckoned as pay for Transport Allowance, Night Duty Allowance etc.

3.1   In accordance with para 2 of Board’s letter No. E(P&A) II-2005/RS-34 dated 26.12.2008 (RBE No.202/2008) (Annex-III}, pay element in the Running n Allowance for running staff would be 30% of the basic pay under Railway Service (Revised Pay) Rules,2008 for computation of specified benefits excluding retirement benefits. For the purpose of computation of retirement benefits of running staff, an additional quantum of 55% of the basic pay under RS(RP) Rules,2008 would be reckoned.

7th CPC- Operation Theatre Allowance In The Committee Report

Operation Theatre Allowance : Report of the Committee Allowances – 7th CPC

Operation Theatre Allowance (Para 8.10.35, 8.10.80)

Existing Provision: This allowance is granted to 35 percent of the Staff Nurses in Central Government Hospitals, who work in ICU/Operation Theatres. The current rate is ₹240 per month.

Reasons mentioned by 7th CPC for recommending abolition: The allowance has meagre rates. With the proposed rise in pay, this allowance is no longer required.

Demands:

I. M/o Health & FW: The Nurses had demanded a separate Risk & Hardship (R&H) Allowance in addition to this allowance. Ministry was of the view that If both R&H Allowance and Operation Theatre Allowance cannot be considered together for Nurses, R&H Allowance alone may be considered.

II. National Council (Staff Side), JCM: Dressers are specially trained to perform this job in Operation theatre so it should be retained.

Analysis and Recommendations of the Committee:

Nurses with special training (such as oncology, neonatal intensive care) are deployed in the ICU, CCU etc. This allowance is granted to 35% of the total nursing staff. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has strongly recommended that this allowance be retained on functional grounds. The Committee, therefore, recommends that this allowance be retained and the existing rate of ₹ 360 per month may be multiplied by a factor of 1.5. This will benefit approximately 17000 employees. Additional financial implication is estimated to be ₹ 3.86 crore per annum.

7th CPC - Coal Pilot Allowance In The Committee Report

Coal Pilot Allowance : Report of the Committee Allowances – 7th Pay Commission

Coal Pilot Allowance (Para 8.10.12, 8.10.80)

Existing Provisions: This allowance is paid to Shuntmen and Group D staff of transportation Department of Indian Railways who accompany pilots in the collieries for shunting and similar other duties. The existing rates are as under:Reasons mentioned by 7 th CPC for recommending abolition: This allowance has become outdated.

Demands:

I. Ministry of Railways: Coal Pilot Allowance is paid to Shuntmen and other transportation staff who accompany Loco Pilots in Collieries and considering the significance of colliery movements in Railway Operations, this allowance may be retained and enhanced by a factor of 2.25

II. National Council (Staff Side), JCM: Coal Pilot Allowance should continue as the staff working as Coal Pilot have to work inside the collieries where there is dust, fume etc. causing potential danger to their health.

Analysis and Recommendations of the Committee:

This allowance is paid to less than 1000 employees in the Ministry of Railways and is required to be retained as working in collieries which includes shunting, is also hazardous for health. Ministry of Railways has strongly recommended that this allowance should not be abolished on functional grounds.

The Committee, therefore, recommends that Coal Pilot Allowance may be retained. The rate of this allowance be multiplied by a factor of 2.25 and rounded off to nearest rupee,as under:

For first trip : ₹101.25/- (rounded off to 102)

For every subsequent trip: ₹33.75/- (rounded off to 34)

This will benefit approximately 1000 employees. Additional annual financial implication is estimated to be ₹ 1.00 crore per annum.

7th CPC - Cycle Allowance In The Committee Report

Report of the Committee Allowances : Cycle Allowance (Para 8.15.11) 7th Pay Commission

Cycle Allowance (Para 8.15.11)

Existing Provisions: It is paid where the duties attached to the post require extensive use of bicycle and the official concerned has to use and maintain his own cycle for official journeys. The existing rate is ₹90 per month.

Reasons mentioned by 7th CPC for recommending abolition: The amount of this allowance is meagre and the allowance itself is outdated.

Demands:

I. D/o Posts: This allowance is mainly paid to Postmen who cover long distances. Therefore, it should be retained and the existing rates may be doubled.

II. National Council (Staff Side), JCM: This allowance should continue.

Analysis and Recommendations of the Committee:

The Committee was apprised that in rural areas, postmen have to cover long distances. In the absence of public transport, cycle remains the preferred mode of communication in rural areas for postmen while delivering dak in a time bound manner. Even in urban areas having narrow lanes with congested access, cycles are preferred. In Ministry of Railways also, Trackmen are required to walk daily for long distances upto 8 km in their beat. The Committee is of the view that reliance on cycles remains a functional necessity for delivery of dak in many areas and for duties e.g. Trackmen and, therefore, recommends that this allowance may be retained for Department of Posts and Railways as also other Ministries/ Departments where there is functional justification for any particular category of staff for its continuation with the approval of Department of Expenditure.

The rate of Cycle Allowance may be doubled from ₹ 90 per month to ₹ 180 per month. This will benefit approximately 22,200 employees. The additional annual financial implication is estimated to be ₹ 1.88 crore.

7th CPC - Ration Money Allowance In The Committee Report

Report of the Committee : Ration Money Allowance 7th CPC

Ration Money Allowance (Para 8.17.103, 8.17.108)

Existing Provisions: Ration Money Allowance (RMA) is paid to all personnel of Defence forces and non-gazetted personnel of CAPFs, Delhi Police, IB, A&N police and such personnel of Indian Reserve Battalions (IRBn) as are posted in Andaman and Nicobar Islands and don‟t dine in the mess. The existing rate of this allowance is ₹95.52 per day for NonGazetted personnel and ₹79.93 per day for Gazetted personnel.

Recommendations of 7th CPC: Summary of the recommendations of 7th CPC is as under:

a. Status quo be maintained regarding the rates of this allowance as the rate is revised periodically by MoD / MHA for their personnel.

b. Regarding the admissibility of RMA, PBORs of CAPFs and Indian Coast Guard should be eligible to draw RMA irrespective of the place of posting (except when in receipt of the Detachment Allowance). Presently, officers of SSB who are posted in field areas at altitudes of less than 7000 feet are not eligible for RMA. This restriction of 7000 feet should be removed.

c. Looking into the unique service conditions of CAPFs, RMA should be exempt from income tax.

d. The provision of free rations and the grant of Ration Money Allowance to officers of Defence forces posted in peace areas should be withdrawn.

Demands:

I. Ministry of Defence: This allowance may be continued in peace areas and may be paid in cash.

II. Special Protection Group (SPG): Ration Money Allowance may be granted to SPG at par with BSF.

Analysis and Recommendations of the Committee:

The Committee is of the view that the recommendations of the 7th CPC may be accepted with modifications. This may be as per suggestions made by MoD that Ration Money Allowance may continue to be paid to officers. The cash may be credited directly into the bank account of officers. This will benefit approximately 43473 officers. The additional financial implication is estimated to be ₹150.40 crore per annum. The demand of SPG is outside the purview of this Committee.

The issue of income tax exemption for RMA may be separately taken up with Department of Revenue.

7th CPC - Special LC Gate Allowance In The Committee Report

7th Pay Commission Committee Report : Special LC Gate Allowance 

Special LC Gate Allowance (Para 8.10.51, 8.10.76)

Existing Provisions: It is granted to Trackmen of Railways posted as Gatekeeper to man those gates which are classified as „difficult gates‟ @Rs..450 pm.

Recommendations of 7th CPC: The 7th CPC has recommended that this allowance shall be paid as per Cell R3H3 of the Risk and Hardship Matrix @ Rs.1200 pm for level 9 and above and Rs.1000/- pm for level upto 8.

Demand:

Ministry of Railways: Special LC Gate Allowance is being paid to only those gatemen working under Civil Engineering Department of Railways. The Gatemen belonging to Traffic Department should also be granted this allowance as the nature of duties of both (Civil Engineer and Traffic) is same.

Analysis and Recommendations of the Committee:

The demand of the Ministry of Railways is to extend this allowance to Traffic Department of Indian Railways. However, the Committee is of the view that adding new category of beneficiary to any allowance is not under the purview of the Committee. Therefore, the recommendations of the 7th CPC on Special LC Gate Allowance may be accepted without any change.
