This scheme has been extended from time to time and was last extended vide letter dated 03.03.2017, wherein it was inter-alia stipulated that till such time instructions for benchmark for regular promotion are issued, after receipt of clarification from DoP&T, the existing methodology and benchmark for promotion as enumerated in Board's letter dated 03.09.2009 may continue till further orders.

In the backdrop of the aforesaid provisions, clarification has been sought from Railway Board by ICF regarding filling up the post of Section Engineer in GP Rs.4600, the classification of which stands as "suitability with prescribed benchmark" as per instructions contained in letter dated 03.09.2009 ibid read with letter dated 03.03.2017 ibid.

The matter has been examined and it is clarified that as the mode of promotion prescribed in Board's letter dated 03.09.2009, has been extended till further orders vide letter dated 03.03.2017, and as per these instructions the vacancies of Section Engineer in GP Rs.4600 is to be filled in by the process of "suitability with prescribed benchmark", vacancy assessment period for filling up these posts should appropriately be one year as per instructions dated 07.12.2018 ibid, applicable for non-selection posts.

[post_ads]
Reference Board's letter of even number dated 01.09.2014 on the above subject which provides that the various facilities including scribes to persons with disabilities as laid down in Railway Boards letters No. E(NG)II/2006/RC-2/13 dated 17.09.2007, 18.02.2011, 27.04.2017, 25.09.2013 and 19.12.2013, for direct recruitment, may be made applicable for departmental examinations also, wherever circumstances so warrant.

A doubt has been raised by one Zonal Railway as to whether the facility of scribe for departmental examination is restricted to persons recruited against 3% PwD quota or it can also be extended to persons who have been certified disabled by a Railway Doctor due to disability during service. If yes, whether the facility is available for promotion from Group 'C' to Group 'B' also, in addition to promotions within Group 'C'.

The matter has been examined in consultation with the Management Services Dte., and it is clarified that the instructions contained in Board's letter of even number dated 01.09.2014 ibid is also applicable to persons who have attained the disability while in service, for appearing in all departmental examinations both within Group 'C' and from Group 'C' to Gazetted categories.

Continuation sheet to Board's letter No. No. 2019/AC-II/25/2/NFR ( Lumding) dated 20th August. 2019

General Manager's Detailed Report on Fraud case in Lumding Division, NFR.

A) Amount Involved :- In continuation to the earlier report on fraud case committed by Shri XX, AA and Shri YY, a retired Sr. SO under Sr. DFM/LMG who was re-engaged (and his services since terminated), the total amount involved as per current information is Rs. 4,33,46,571/-. Out of which Shri XX committed the fraud of Rs. 40,46,571/- and Shri YY, ex. Sr. SO committed the fraud of Rs. 3.93 crores. The case was handed over to CVO/MLG who has eventually handed over the case to CBI. Any change in the amount involved in the fraud, if pointed out by CBI, will be subsequently communicated to Railway Board accordingly.

Shri XX, AA has confessed to his crime and accepted the fraud of Rs. 40,46,571/-. He has since refunded the whole amount back to Railways. Sr. DFM/LMG's report is placed at Annexure A. Shri YY, ex Sr. SO has refunded an amount of Rs. 24,00,000/-. Details attached as Annexure-B out of total doubtful transaction of Rs. 3.93 crores. Any further recoveries will be intimated to Railway Board as and when received .

B) Modus Operandi of:

a) Sri XX, AA, under Sr. DFM/LMG

Sri XX, AA, under Sr. DFM/LMG has admitted to the fraud of diverting Railway Money into his bank accounts. Based on the statement of Sri XX (Annexure C) and examination of his bank statements, the fraudulent transactions have been traced in the IPAS system. Sri XX, had access to Bill registration, Bill Passing, C07 confirmation and cheque generation in IPAS system . In the IPAS system, earlier, modification of the bank details of the party was allowed at the time of bill passing and it did not require online approval of Gazetted officer. Taking advantage of these loopholes and having access to every section, Sri XX, edited the account no. of Sri. ZZ during bill passing and diverted the money into his own bank account. Two pay orders were made by Books section to make payment to Sri ZZ received the payment through Pay order No. 12480/65 and C07 no. 05041017000014 (Annexure D). The counterfoil of Pay order no. 12480/62 which was used for fraud is torn out. It may be mentioned here that Sri ZZ has been paid his dues, so it's a direct loss to Railways.

Later on the restrictions of party modifications were put in place. Then Sri AAedited th abnk account no. in CD which is sent to the bank. As it is evident with latest case. Sri XX forged the signature of ADFM-1 in hard copy of the C07 no. 05041018700020 dt. 21 .12.2018 and cheque abstract no. 0504180172 sent to Cash office. While taking the signature on hard copy of the abstract the information of the fraudulent transaction was deleted. Relevant C07 and bank abstract sent to cash office3 with forged signature is kept at Annexure-F.

It has been established that Bank CD 11as been tampered with and tampering happened outside the IPAS system. Since, the other bank accounts may also be involved which have not been confessed by Sri XX. A thorough inquiry has been taken up by CBI.
[post_ads_2]
b) Shri YY, ex Sr. SO under Sr. DFM/LMG

During the investigation of modus operandi of fraud committed by Sri XX, a slew of doubtful transactions have come into light where beneficiary seems to be Sri YY a retired Sr. SO under Sr. DFM/LMG who was re-engaged (and his services since terminated). The money through these seemingly fraudulent transactions have been diverted to the account no. 0030210031727, UBI, LMG branch . The account n6. belongs to M/S. Intimate which is allegedly registered in the name of Smt. BB, w/o Sri YY. The PAN no. registered with the bank account is ACNPC7966J (Annexure F). The GSTIN no. 18 ACNPC7966JIZZ is linked with MIS intimate and M/S RC computer solution with account no. 7359250004527 in IPAS party master. The modus operandi in all these latter cases has been same. The bill was registered against one party with or without any bill. While passing bill , it was divided into two or more than two parties. The larger amount we11t to the account of UBI mentioned above. On every occasion bills passed to the same account no. have different party name. As per the remarks while registration of bill passing it was shown as refund of unsuccessful transactions or payment related to employees. Similar doubtful transactions has also been seen in the Account No. 7359250004527of Assam Grameen Bank (IFSC Code UTBIORRBAGB) AND 00300500 13891 of UBI, Lumding (IFSC code UTBIOLMG32 l ). The details of these transactions is kept at Annexure G and bank statement of account no. 003021003 1727, UBI, LMG branch is at Annexure H.

c) System Failure: From time to time many checks has been introduced in the IPAS system. Any system is bound to fail if the guidelines are not being followed. In Lumding Accounts office, there seems to be no system of checks and balances. Usual protocols of Accounts Office were not being followed. Books section was issuing the pay orders to clear the amount which was returned from the bank due to technical error such as wrong bank account. Books section was also passing bills related to postal stamps and commission for issuing DDs, hence, tl1ey had access to other bill registration and passing module in IPAS. Generally in Accounts office books section neither issues the pay order i.e. creating a bill nor passes the bill.

Headquarter guidelines regarding privilege allotment in IPAS circulated vide letter no. IT/037/IPAS/2014 dated 04.05.2017 (Annexure I) were not followed otherwise fraud could have been prevented. Sri XX and Sri YY had access of many modules IPAS system which led to fraud . There was no check. Till recently, the registered email  ID was ADMINLMG, is in the name of Sr. DFM/LMG was, which was accessible to Sri XX and YY. Also, the password of ADMINLMG was known to more than one person which was aga. Jt the guidelines as given by the HQ Privileges were distributed through ADMIN ID.

In case of C07 No. 0504071818700403, it is passed by ADFM-I and Sri YY on the hard copy (Annexure-I) .Paid voucher of this C07 is missing in the Accounts office. The party was created by IPAS ID NFR04 EST2014 with Account no. 7359250004527 of Assam Grameen Bank (IFSC Code UTBIORRB AGB) on 09.11.201 8. Later, modifications of party details were done by NFR04EST2014 with a different bank account on 10.1 1.2018 and confirmed by ID IPASLMGO l P on 12 .11.2018 ( As informed by CRIS, Annexure K). This was probably done to cover the fraudulent transaction which was already done on 09. 11.2018 . The paid voucher of this C07 is missing while the paid vouchers of other C07s presented for cheque are found in Accounts office. As per ADFM-I, Sri YY had access to his ID and also the bills are being presented to him while passing. It seems there was no sanctity of user ID and password and they were shared. It is also noteworthy that in LMG division most of the Sr. SOs did not have IDs in IPAS to supervise the work of their subordinates. This is one the major system failures. In an online environment of work if Sr. Section Officers or officers are not having proper understanding of the system, they can easily be deceived.

It is noteworthy that paid vouchers were not sent to cash office along with C07s and cheque abstract. As it is mentioned above that paid voucher of doubtful transaction is missing, hence this fraud could have been detected if usual practice of sending paid vouchers to cash office was followed. Books section in LMG has given acquittance to cash office upto Dec' 2018.

D) Administrative failure: LMG division was repeatedly warned about not following the guidelines issued by the HQ. On two separate occasions letters (No. IT/037/IPAS/2 014 dated 28.04.2017 and 06.09.2017) were written to Sr. DFM/LMG warning about the wrong privileges given to certain IDs. Sr. DFM/LMG replied to first one through email which is quoted here "acknowledged ... preventive measures being taken forthwith" (Annexure L). Sr. DFM/LMG did not reply to the second letter where explanations was called from him and it seems no corrective steps were taken. The fraud has taken place from the same ID which was specifically mentioned in the letter.

Fallowing can be established without doubt:

a. Work distribution was not as per the allotment made by the HQ. 
b. HQ guidelines regarding distribution of privileges were not division. followed by the
c. Proper action was not taken on the letters of the HQ. 
d. The IDs which were misused in bill passing of these fraudulent /doubtful transactions are:

(2) Brief on the draft Bill.

Brief Note on Preliminary Draft of THE EMPLOYEES ' PROVIDENT FUNDS AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2019


The Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions (EPF and MP) Act, 1952 is applicable to every establishment, employing 20 or more persons, which is either a factory engaged in any industry specified in Schedule-I of the Act or an establishment to which the Act has been made applicable by the Central Government by notification in the Official Gazette.

2. With the change in the industrial and economic scenario of the country leading to increased mobility of labour and outsourcing of services, need has been felt for introducing some amendments in the provisions of the Act.

3. The following are the details of the major amendment proposals:-

(a) Introduction of definition of 'wages' in conformity with the Code on Wages, 2019, passed by Parliament and assented to by the Hon'ble President, in place of existing definition of 'basic wage'. In the present form the computational basis for determining provident fund contribution is basic wage, DA and retaining allowance. The amendment seeks to fix computational basis at 'wage' with the further stipulation that allowances paid above 50% or as notified percentage, of all remuneration will be included in wage .

(b) The budget -2015-16 (Para 62), included an announcement that for employees below a certain threshold of monthly income, contribution to Employees Provident Fund (EPF) should be optional, without affecting or reducing the employer's contribution. Therefore , flexibility has been proposed to introduce in the Act to prescribe different rates of contribution for such period for any class of employee. This flexibility will enable, through notification, modification of the rates of contribution depending on various factors like age, income, gender etc. No change in employers' contribution has been proposed.
[post_ads_2]
(c) Section 7A of the Act does not provide any limitation for initiation of inquiries (i) to decide applicability of the Act to an establishment and (ii) to determine the amount due from any employer under any provision of the Act and the Schemes framed thereunder. Such a provision is susceptible to misuse and against a predictable policy for an employer establishment. Various representations have been received to bring in limitation for scrutiny of the past cases. In case of the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Act, 1948 and Income Tax Act, the limitation period of five years and seven years has been prescribed respectively . 

Introducing limitation for inquiries under section 7A has been included as one of the items of reform Therefore, it is now proposed to amend sub-section (1) of section 7A to introduce a limitation period of 5 years to initiate inquiry . Further, in order to instil discipline in the working of assessing officers , a time period of two years, as far as practicable, has been provided to conclude the inquiry with further stipulation of submission of reasons for not concluding the inquiry within the stipulated period to the CPFC.

(d) Section 11 of the Act provides for priority of payment of contribution over other debts. The section mentions Presidency Towns Insolvency Act , 1909 and Provincial Insolvency Act 1920, both of which have been repealed vide the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. There is, therefore , requirement of rewording of the section by omitting references to the repealed statutes . The amendment proposes substitution of the existing section 11.

(e) The provisions relating to penalties were last revised in the year 1988 and effective from 01.08.1988.Therefore , it is proposed to enhance the quantum of fines (in pecuniary terms) by ten times.

(f) Insertion of new section 14AD to provide for composition of certain offences under the Act except those specified in sub-section(1}, sub-section(1A) and sub-section (18) of section 14 of the Act. This will provide a mutually agreeable disposition of minor offences without the need of conducting a complete trial in the Court. Small defaults in making compliance with the provisions of the Act could be resolved by paying up the compounding amounts at the specified rates without the need of a criminal trial.

(g) The budget -2015-16 (Para 62), also included an announcement that the employees covered under the EPF & MP Act should be provided option for New Pension Scheme. It is proposed to insert new sections viz. sections 168 and 16C in the Act to give option to EPFO subscribers to opt for National Pension System (NPS}, etc. in order to implement the Budget announcement (2015-16). The amended provisions will provide option to the EPF subscriber to opt for NPS in lieu of benefits under EPF & MP Act. The option to revert back to mechanism under EPF & MP Act is also being proposed. Further the definition of "National Pension System" under clause Ua) in section 2 of the Act.

(h) The present Act does not stipulate any pre condition for grant of exemption. The Standing Committee on Labour in its 26th report on "Exempted Organisations Trusts Establishments from EPFO: Performance, Issues and Challenges" presented to Lok Sabha on 07.04.2017, had, inter-alia, recommended that proper strong guidelines may be prepared with regard to past performance, net worth, group performance etc. as well as minimum strength of workers, collections, contributions, corpus of the companies establishments , to grant exemption.

The Additional Secretary (Pers)

North Block, New Delhi. :

Sub: Granting of one more option to switch over to 7th CPC from a date subsequent to 25th of July 2016.

Ref: 1) Minutes of National anomaly Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 17th of July 2018, circulated Vide DOP&T OM No. 11/2/2016-JCA-I (Pt.), dated 31st Jan. 2019.

2) This office Lt. No.C-JCM-2017/fin., dt: 5th March 2019.

[post_ads]
The Staff Side of the National Council (JCM) is repeatedly representing to consider the demand for granting of one more option to switch over to the 7th CPC pay scales on a date which is beneficial to the employees. Vide our letter referred at (2) above, the reference of the Judgment of CAT Bombay Bench in OA No.45/12 pronounced on 29/06/2017 was also referred. In this Judgment the CAT has directed to grant him option to switch over to 6th CPC from a date which is beneficial to the employee, since he has agreed to surrender the arrears already drawn. This Judgment was also implemented by CGDA.

In the meantime, the aggrieved employees of Ordnance Factory Ambajhari under the Department of Defence production, Min. Of Defence approached the CAT Bombay Bench claiming for grant of one more option to switch over to 7th CPC pay scale. After 25/07/2016/ option to switch over to 7 CPC as on date on increment on 01/07/2016. The CAT after hearing the parties have given a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the applicants keeping in view the aforesaid DOPT OM dated 08/07/2019, through which the minutes of the Standing committee National Council (JCM) was circulated and has directed the DOP&T to take a decision on the subject matter within a period of 6 weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of the Judgement.

Since the matter is getting unduly delayed the affected employees have started approaching to Court of law to get their grievance settled. This defeats the spirit of the JCM scheme. I therefore request you to kindly arrange to issue Govt. orders for revising the option to switch over to 7th CPC pay scale on the following two situations:
[post_ads_2]
1) Option to switch over to 7th CPC to those employees who are promoted/granted MACP after 25/07/2016.

2) Option to switch over to 7th CPC as on date of increment on 01/07/2016.

‘In this regard kindly refer to ‘the illustration given in our letter dated 22nd March 2018. (copy enclosed for ready reference). We request you to kindly arrange to issue necessary instruction in this regard without further delay.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(Siva Gopal Mishra)

If a person not having PAN but have quoted Aadhaar number for specified transactions (ITR etc.), then as per the latest amendment, it will be deemed to have applied for PAN and the person will not be required to submit any additional documents. 

Also, applying for PAN has become easier if any one has Aadhaar number then he can simply apply for PAN by just using his Aadhaar without submitting any additional documents.
