Subject : Fixation of pay and grant increments in
the revised pay structure
Clarifications reg.
  
Following the notification of
the Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules,
2008, this Ministry has received references from some Railways seeking
clarifications regarding fixation of pay in
cases
of Railway Servants drawing pay at maximum of the scale or drawing
stagnation increment(s) in the pre-revised scale. The matter has been examined
in consultation with Ministry of Finance,
Department of Expenditure.

The points of doubt and clarifications thereto are as under:


Points of Doubt

Clarification
1.As per the provisio of Rule 10 of Railway Services
(Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, in the case of persons who had been drawing
maximum of the existing scale for more than a year as on the 1st day of
January, 2006, the next increment in the revised pay structure shall be
allowed on the l” day of January, 2006. Whether the benefit of one
additional increment under proviso to Rule 10 of the RS(RP)Rules, 2008
would be available even to those who had reached the maximum of the
scale on 1.1.2005, i.e., drawing maximum of pay exactly for one year as
on 1.1.2006?



2. Whether even those employees who had already been granted one, two
or three stagnation increments after reaching the maximum of the scale
and thereafter drawing such pay for exactly one year (having drawn last
stagnation increment on 1.1.2005) or more than one year as on 1.1.2006
are also to be granted benefit of one additional increment as increment
on 1.1.2006 at the time of per proviso to Rule 10 of the RS(RP)Rules
2008?



3. In accordance with Note 7 below Rule 7 of the Railway Services
(Revised Pay) Rules, 2008, in cases where the revised pay of a Railway
Servant who was, immediately before 1.1.2006, drawing more pay than
another Railway Servant junior to him in the same cadre, gets fixed in
the revised pay band at a stage lower than that of such

junior, his pay shall be stepped up to the same stage in the revised pay
band as that of the junior. Whether the provisions of this note will be
applicable in the situation where such a senior Railway Servant who was
immediately before 1.1.2006 drawing more pay than another Railway
Servant junior to him in the same cadre gets fixed at a stage lower than
that of such junior due to grant of additional increment as per 1st
proviso to Rule 10 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008?
As already clarified vide Clarification No.5 issued vide
Railway Board’s

letter No. PC- VII2008/I/RSRP/I dated 11.2.2009 (S. No. PC-VI/76, RBE
No.28/2009) in all case, where a Railway Servant has been granted an
increment (whether normal annual increment or

stagnation increment) after January 1, 2005, no increment will be
allowed on 1.1.2006 at the time of fixation of pay in the revised pay
structure.
From the foregoing, it is evident that in cases where Railway
Servants have been granted an increment (whether normal annual increment
or stagnation increment) after January 1, 2005, no

increment will be allowed on 1.1.2006 at the time of fixation of pay in
the revised pay structure. In other words, those who were granted their
last increment (whether normal annual increment or stagnation
increment) on or before 1.1.2005, will be allowed an
increment on 1.1.2006 at the time of fixation of their pay in the
revised pay structure.
Even though Note 7 below Rule 7 of the Railway Services (Revised Pay)
Rules, 2008, specifically states that the provisions contained therein
shall be applicable in cases where pay fixation is done under Sub Rule
(l) of Rule 7, it is clarified that the provisions of this Note shall
also be applicable in the situations arising due to pay fixation of the
junior employee under proviso to
Rule 10 of the RS (RP) Rules,

2008.
  
2. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance
Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
