New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Grant of Qualification Pay to the Nursing Personnel

Ref.: MoH&FW’s F.No.Z.28015/53/2017-N dated 28.09.2018

[post_ads]

The Nursing Staff who have been in possession of BSc. Degree were being paid “Qualification Pay” (two additional increments) even after implementation of recommendations of the VII CPC. However, after implementation of VII CPC recommendations, no revision of additional increment, as mentioned-above, being paid to the Nursing Staff, as has been done so far. This is causing heart burning to the said category of staff.

It is understood that, the issue is already being taken-up by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare(Government of India) for the Nursing Staff working in other than Railway Hospitals.

It is, therefore, requested that, the matter may be looked into on priority for revision of additional increments in consonance with the recommendation of the VII CPC in case of Nursing Staff, working in Railway Hospitals, as “Qualification Pay”.

An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

[post_ads]

Dear Sir,

Sub: Benchmarking for the purpose of granting financial upgradation under MACPS – Recommendations of the VII CPC – Reg.

Your kind attention is invited towards AIRF’s correspondence on the above-mentioned subject matter, vide letter No.AIRF/MACPS dated 30th January, 2017, followed by reminders dated 17th March, 2017, 17th May, 2017 and 22nd May, 2017. AIRF, explaining the scenario in the Indian Railways, in regard to APARs of the Railway Employees’. AIRF has repeatedly requested the Railway Board to review the benchmarking from Very Good to “Good”, so that, maximum number of Railwaymen are not deprived of financial benefits under the said scheme. Railway Board vide their letter No.PC-V/2016/MACPS/1 dated 19.05.2017 had declined to accede to the demand of the Federation(AIRF), stating that, as DoP&T is the Nodal Department of the Government for the purpose of MACPS, Railway Board cannot deviate from the instructions issued by them. AIRF had further demanded, at several occasions, that, at least in case of those employees who were eligible for financial upgradation under MACPS prior to 25.07.2016(the date of implementation of revised benchmarking) should be given this benefit, even though they are having “Good” benchmark in their APARs, i.e., to say that, their cases should be dealt with on the criteria of benchmark for MACPS that was in vogue prior to 25.07.2016. In this connection, attention is also drawn towards Office Memorandum No.1/Org./MACP/2018(186)/117 dated 10th January, 2019 of Sashastra Seema Bal; a copy of which is being enclosed for ready reference. It may be noted from the aforementioned Office Memorandum dated 10.01.2019 of the SSB, that, they have taken a decision in the matter at their own level and have clarified that, for grant of financial upgradation under MACPS, the prescribed benchmark would be Very Good w.e.f. 25.07.2016 onwards and APAR grading “Good” for the period prior to 25.07.2016 be treated as “Very Good” while considering such cases by the Screening Committee for granting benefit of financial upgradation under MACPS.

It would, therefore, be quite appropriate that, Railway Board should also issue similar clarification to all the Railway Administrations, so that, the cases in which employees were eligible for financial upgradation under MACPS prior to 25.07.2016, the benchmark “Good” be treated as “Very Good”, and revised benchmark should only be insisted upon in case of 25.07.2016 onward.

An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.

MACPS: Appeal to treat APAR grading of ‘Good’ instead of ‘Very Good’ as eligible for MACPS for Group C as for the promotions for Group C

INDIAN RAILWAYS TECHNICAL SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION

No. IRTSA/Memo RB / 2019-1

Date: 29-1-2019

Member Staff,Railway Board.
Rail Bhawan, New Delhi-110001

Sir,

Subject: Grant of Financial upgradation under MACPS – Appeal to treat APAR grading of ‘Good’ instead of ‘Very Good’ as eligible for MACPS for Group C as for the promotions for Group C.

Reference: Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/20 6/MACPS/1 (RBE No. 155/2016) dated 19.12.2016
[post_ads]

We have to submit for your kind consideration that the criteria for eligibility for Financial Upgrading under MACPS, which was same as that for Promotions, has been changed for Group ‘C’ Staff, from APARs being “Good” earlier to that of APARs to be “Very Good” (as applicable for Group “A” Officers) vide orders cited above. This had a very adverse impact on a very large number of Group ‘C’ employees (who were already stagnating for many years due to lack of avenues of promotion).

2. The new criteria had made many Group ‘C’ employees graded as ‘Good’ to be ineligible for any financial upgradation under MACPS. Retrospective effect of this order was a further damper on the aspirations for some rise & motivation of employees starving for promotion. It was totally unjustified to have different criteria for Promotion and for MACPS. It also defeated the very purpose of MACPS for providing relief to those who could not get the regular promotions due to limited avenues of promotion on account of pyramidal cadre structure.

3. Railway Board vide its letter No. E(NG)I-2018/CR/2 (RBE No.29/2018) dated 27.02.2018 provided opportunity to the employees who had been awarded “Good” or below Grading in their previous years APARs, as a onetime measure, to represent for enhancing their grading for the purpose of MACPS. This order of Railway Board had given relief to some of the employees, but still many employees are left out from getting any relief mainly because the Appellate authorities found it to be impertinent& below dignity of their ilk to change grading awarded by the concerned officers.

4. It is, therefore, requested that necessary orders may please be issued for treating APAR Grading of ‘Good’ as eligible for MACPS for Group ‘C Staff so as to be the same as for their promotion.

Encls: Two items (As above)

Items proposed by RSCWS for Agenda of 31st Meeting of SCOVA

(Ref: DOPPW letter F. No. 42/03/2019 – P&PW(D) 18-1-2019)

Item 1. Improvement of Health Care facilities required for Railway Pensioners/RELHS Beneficiaries:

Railway Medical Beneficiaries, especially the old age RELHS Optees are at times put to inconvenience & hardship due to existing procedural problems especially in getting specialized medical treatment in Emergency and for getting referral for treatment in empanelled hospital. It is requested that the Railways may please simplify the system in regard to the following vital areas (none of which involves any financia implications but will reduce the hardship of the old age Pensioners):

[post_ads_2]

a) Authorisation of Doctors of Railway Health Units for referral to empanelled private hospitals: Railway Board vide its orders No.2018/Trans Cell/Health/Medical issues dated 24-1-2019 has decided that the Railway Beneficiaries may be referred for treatment & Investigation to private empanelled and other Government Hospitals by “two Doctors”. This has left out the Single Doctor Health Units in cities like Chandigarh as not being authorised to refer the cases to Empanelled specialized Hospitals and thus compelling the Railway Beneficiaries to travel long distances from such cities, towns & areas which have single Doctor Health Units to reach out to the two authorized Doctors to get a referral for an ailing patient. The hardship thus continues for majority of Old age patients to get the requisite treatment.

It is requested that the Doctors of the Railway Health Units be authorized to refer the Railway Beneficiaries/RELHS Optees to private empanelled hospitals and if so required, the Health Unit Doctor may get the approval from the other authorized Doctor on Phone and record it on the referral documents.

b) Waiving of condition of Referral from Railway Doctor of RELHS Optees for OPD Consultation & treatment in Government Hospitals: It is requested that RELHS Optees be not required to get a referral from Railway Doctor for treatment in Centre or State Government Hospitals of their choice & convenience – on Reimbursement basis.

c) Simplification of Procedure for RELHS Beneficiaries for Treatment at private empanelled hospitals without referral by the Railway Doctor, if they are advised specialized treatment by a Specialist in a Central Government/State Govt. Hospital - as has now been allowed to CGHS Beneficiaries vide Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, OM No.Z15025/105/2017/DIR/CGHS/EHS dated 9-11-2017 – Reg. Simplification of procedure for treatment at private hospitals empanelled under CGHS/CS (MA) Rules, 1944.

d) Reasonable Period of Validity of Referral & for approval by Railway Doctors for treatment in Emergency in Empanelled Private Hospitals for Railway/RELHS Beneficieries - as has now been allowed to CGHS Beneficiaries vide Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, GOI, OM No.  Z15025/117/2017/DIR/CGHS/EHS dated-15-1-2018 regarding Revision of Guidelines regarding Simplification of referral System under CGHS.

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, vide their orders dated 10-12-2018 cited above have prescribed a period for validity of Referral to empanelled private hospitals as 30 days for treatment/investigation and Consultation and 3 months for multiple Consultation with 3 specialists for listed treatment procedures on advice by CGHS Specialist.

It is requested that the guidelines for CGHS issued by MOH&FW vide their letter cited above may please be considered for their application to the Railway Medical beneficiaries; And similar guidelines may also please be issued regarding adequate validity of Approval for Treatment in Emergency in the Empanelled Private Hospitals for Railway Beneficiaries.

e) Special provisions for Treatment of RELHS Beneficiaries who are above 80 years of age especially regarding “Priority for Treatment in Hospitals”; “Settlement of Medical Reimbursement Bills” & “Referral to Private Hospital of choice” - as prescribed for CGHS Beneficiaries vide MOH&FW OM No.Z–16025/98/2017/CGHS-III dated 11-7-2017.

f) OPD Consultation in Empanelled Hospitals for Railway Medical/RELHS Beneficiaries – as per procedure prescribed for the CGHS Beneficiaries vide MOH&FW OM No.  Z15025/117/2017/DIR/CGHS/EHS Dated dated-15-1-2018 regarding Simplification of referral System under CGHS.

g) Issue of Medicines for 3 Months in case of Chronic Diseases to RELHS Optees as has been done for CGHS Beneficiaries vide MOH&FW OM No.F.No.2-2/2014-CGHS HQ/PPT/CGHS (P) dated 25-8-2014 & 21-10-2014.

h) i) Expeditious implementation of CTSE (Cashless Treatment System in Emergency) in empanelled hospitals to all RELHS Beneficiaries all over India and expeditious issue of SMART CARDS for the same. Incidentally, the same has yet not been completed in the four Metro cities where the same are held up since 2016. It may please be expedited.

ii) Detailed instructions for extension of CTSE for other Cities – as referred to in Railway Board’s letter No.2014/H/28/1/Smart Card/Part A, dated 02.11.2018 may be issued early and SMART CARDS for the same may also please be expedited

iii) Waiving of additional charges for CTSE from RELHS Beneficiaries as they had already made one-time payment for joining RELHS which fully covered Cashless Treatment in Emergency in local Empanelled hospitals where card was registered and against reimbursement in other cities in India. The only difference which the CTSE will make is the Cashless treatment instead of Reimbursable treatment in other cities. This is totally unjustified and may please be waived off.

(Continued for Item 2)

Items proposed by RSCWS for Agenda of 31st Meeting of SCOVA

Item 2. Computation of Revised Minimum Pension for implementation of 6th Pay Commission Report at 50% of Pay in PB + GP with respect to the scale of pay of the post in question and not to the corresponding scale of pay at which the incumbent retired – Request for Application of judgements of various Courts for Revision of Pension of similarly placed Pre-2006 Pensioners

i) High Court of Kerala in its final judgment dated 16-12-2016 in WPC No. 34171/2016, WPC No. 22153/2016 and WPC No. 21477/2016 held that that “Kerala High Court found that the computation of pension in the matter of implementation of the 6th pay commission report has to be at 50% of the pay scale with respect to the scale of pay applicable to the post in question and not to the corresponding scale of pay to the one at which the incumbent has retired.

ii) CAT Bangalore in OA.No.170/00730/2017 in its judgement dated 18-6-2018, had held that “11. The OM dtd.13.11.2009 had clearly stipulated that the posts which were in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 will be granted grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 with effect from 01.01.2006. This makes evidently clear that the applicants were to be considered against the pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 with grade pay of Rs.4600. The revised pay and pension has to be calculated on that basis and that comes to Rs.9230. The manner of computing the pension by the respondents is therefore completely wrong and bereft of any logic. --------------------. The respondents are directed to grant revised pension of Rs.9230/- to the applicant w.e.f. 01.01.2006 along with consequential benefits within a period of one(1) month from the date of receipt of copy of this order.”

iii) CAT Ernakulam in OA No. 180-00052-2017 decided on 12-9-2018 in K.G. Manoharan & others Vs UOI & others decided that applicants are entitled to a revised pension in terms of paragraph 4.2 of OM dated 1.9.2008 or 50% of the minimum pay in the pay band of Rs.9300-34800 with Grade Pay of Rs.4600 (in case of applicants 1 to 12) & Rs.4800 (in the case of applicants 13 & 14) or as per Annexure A4 fitment table, whichever is beneficial to the applicants.

iv) CAT Ernakulam dated 23.10.18 has held in OA No. 180-01071-2017 “The OM dated 13.11.2009 had clearly stipulated that the posts which were in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 will be granted grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 with effect from 01.01.2006. This makes evidently clear that the applicants were to be considered against the pay scale of Rs.7450-11500 with grade pay of Rs.4600. SLP against the judgement was dismissed

v) It is, therefore, requested that:

a) The policy decisions of the judgements of various Courts, may please be equitably applied to all the Petitioners as well as to all similarly placed Pensioners as required under Article 14, 16 of the Constitution.

b) Computation of minimum revised pension for the purpose of implementation of 6th pay commission report be done at 50% of the pay in the Pay Band plus Grade Pay with respect to the scale of pay corresponding to replacement pay scale as applicable to the post of varous Categories – (as enlisted in Schedule B of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules 2008) and as revised thereafter, and not to the scale of pay corresponding to the normal replacement scale at which the incumbent had retired.

Dear Sir,

[post_ads]

Vide letter dated 22/09/2018 Federation had requested the Railway Board to issue modified instructions for payment of Breakdown Allowance to the staff with Grade Pay 2000 who have been denied the same on the basis of their higher Grade Pay.

In this connection, NFIR reiterates that the Break Down Allowance is granted to the Technical and other safety category staff as compensatory Allowance as they are expected to perform extraordinary duties, therefore they should be granted this Allowance based on the pay actually drawn by them without any condition/restriction.

While enclosing copy of letter dated 22/09/2018, NFIR once again requests the Railway Board to consider the points brought out by the Federation and issue instructions allowing enhanced rate of Break Down Allowance to those staff with GP 2000 (6th CPC)/Pay Level 3.

A copy of the instructions issued may be endorsed to the Federation.

Dear Sir,

Sub: Revision of Pension of Pre-2016 Retired Running Staff- Improper instructions of Railway Board – reg.

Ref: (i) GS/NFIR’s letter to Railway Board vide no.II/35/Part XIV dated 15-01-2018

(ii) Railway Board’s letter No.D-43/34/3017-F(E)III dated 24-01-2018

(vii) NFIR’s letter No.II/35/2018 dated 19.09.2018 to Railway Boards.

[post_ads]

Federation vide its letter dated 15-01-2018 provided to the Railway Board sample concordance tables for revision of pension cases of pre-01-01-2016 retired Running Staff. Railway Board vide letter dated 24-01-2018 have however issued instructions for revision of pension of pre-2016 retired Running Staff. The Federation vide its letter dated 26-02-2018 had pointed they be withdrawn as the same do not ensure correct revising of pension fixation of pre-2016 retired Running Staff. Federation also cited various provisions of DoP&PW and also those contained in IREM. Consequently, Railway Board vide O.M.dated 23-05-2018 sought clarification from DoP&PW to which the DoP&PW vide O.M.dated 01st June 2018 wanted few illustrations of the formulation so as to compare the pay/pension as on 01-01-2016 as per Railway Board’s instructions dated 24-01-2018 with pay and payable pension as suggested by our Unions.

Federation has come to know that the detailed information sought for by the DoP&PW has since been conveyed by the Railway Ministry vide OM dated 16-08-2018, but however progress in the matter is yet to be apprised to the Federation.

In this connection, NFIR also invites kind attention of the Railway Board to PNM Agenda item No.9 (sent to Railway Board on 26-06-2018) discussions on which are yet to take place. Federation however gives below additional points for consideration:-

• Pay of General Category staff in Grade 5500-9000 on 31-05-2015 with 3 stagnation increments (i.e 9525/- Rs.56900) as on 01-01-2016
• Likewise the Notional Pay of Running Should be fixed as Rs.56900 + 30% i.e. Rs.73,970. Thus, retirement benefit of Running Staff would then be calculated on Notional pay i.e. Rs.73,970 + 55% – Rs.1,14,659 and payable pension comes to Rs.57329.50
• whereas, as per Railway Board’s order 30% pay element is not to be added on Rs.56900 and retirement benefit calculated on Rs.56900 + 55% divided by 2 i.e. Rs.56900 + 31295 = 88195 divided by 2 i.e. Rs.44090 hence a loss of Rs.13,229 in pension.

[post_ads_2]

NFIR, therefore, once again requests the Railway Board to furnish proper illustrations to the DoP&PW for obtaining clear clarification for arriving at actual entitled pension to the retired Running Staff. A copy of the reference made to the DoP&Pw may also be provided to the Federation.

Yours faithfully
