The General Secretaries of
Affiliated Unions of NFIR,

Dear Brother,

Sub: Revised entitlement of Privilege Passes for Railway employees – hardship caused to certain staff of lower pay levels due to discontinuance of earlier entitlement provisions-reg.

Ref: (i) NFIR’s letter No. I/15/Part III dated 03112/2015.

(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. 2017/E(LR)I/NM1-3 dated 01/02/2018 to GS/NFIR.

(iii) Discussion held in the special meeting on 0910212018 on left over PNM Items.

(iv) NFIR’s letter No. I/15/2018 dated 30/11/2018 &.25/01/2019.

(v) Railway Board’s letter No. E(W)2013/PS5-1/4 dated 22/03/2019

(vi) NFIR’s letter No. I/15/2018 dated 10/04/2019 addressed to Railway Board.

Please find enclosed copy of reply dated 22/03/2019 received from the Railway Board on Federation’s demand dated 30/11/2018.

The Federation has, however, wrote back to the Railway Board on 01/04/2019 contending that the entitlement of higher class privilege pass to those in lower pay levels was allowed without any dilution till December 2010.

Therefore the right of the employees for higher class privilege pass entitlement should have been continued as was done in the past despite issuance of revised entitlements vide Board’s letter dated 06th January, 2011. However, Board’s response on Federation’s letter dated 01’st April, 2019 has not yet been received.

Copy of Federation’s letters dated (30/11/2018 & 01/04/2019) are enclosed to facilitate the affiliated Unions to convey at field level the efforts initiated by NFIR for getting higher class privilege pass entitlement to those employees who are in the below GP 4200/Pay Level-6 in Railways and entitled for higher class privilege pass as per their Basic Pay but for Board’s order dated 06th January, 2011.

Yours fraternally,

Revision of 7th CPC Pension for Pre-2016 Pensioners – NFIR

No.II/35/2018

Dated: 30-03-2019
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,

Sub: Implementation of Government’s decision on the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission – Revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners/family pensioners etc-reg.

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. 2016/F(E)III/1(1)/7 dated, 22/05/2017.

Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to the instructions issued vide letter dated 22/05/2017 (RBE No.49/2017 and PC-VII No. 20/2017) wherein a copy of Department of pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP & PW)’s O.M. No.38/37/2016-P&PW (A) dated 12th May, 2017 on the above cited subject was forwarded with direction that these instructions apply mutatis and mutandis on the Railways also.

It has been brought to the notice of the Federation by the Railway pensioners/family pensioners that the orders issued by the DoP & PW Railway Board vide O.M. dated 12th May, 2017/letter dated 22/05/2017 are disadvantageous to those pensioners who were drawing compulsory retirement pension or compassionate Allowance due to the reason that pension revision in their favour has been denied vide Para 11 of O.M. dated 12th May, 2017 while the said order permits revision for all other pre-2016 pensioners /family pensioners.

Further Federation desires to state that all the pensioners who retired before 01/01/2016, the revised pension/family pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016 has been granted with 2.57 multiplication as has been fixed at the time of implementation of 6th CPC recommendations.

These orders were made applicable uniformly to all types of pensioners including family pensioners without any discrimination. However, on raising the issue by the Staff Side/JCM to revise the pension/family pension as per 7th CPC recommendation, the Government have conceptualized.

New formulation of calculation of notional pay/notional pension and accordingly DoP & PW vide O.M. No. 38/37/2016- P&PW (A) dated 12th May, 2017 (Railway Board’s letter No. 2016/F(E)III/1(1)/7 dated 22/05/2017- RBE No. 49/2017) have issued instructions for revision of pension/family pension duly reckoning notional pay/notional pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016.

NFIR, further states that while the earlier order dated 04th August,2016 (para 4.1) issued by DoP&PW wad made applicable universally to all pensioner /family pensioners whether they retired on superannuation or voluntarily or retired compulsorily duly applying 2.57 multiplication factor, the revised orders of DoP&PW vide O.M. dated 12th May, 2017 for revision of pension/family pension on notional pay/notional pension w.e.f. 01/01/2016 have discriminated those pensioners who have been drawing pension having been compulsorily retired, is really unfortunate.

Federation is constrained to convey that the discrimination against a section of pensioners and denial of pension revision to them is not only arbitrary but also unlustinea which action may lead to litigation’ Federation also reminds the Railway Board that in the past when the pension was revised from time to time pursuant to the recommendations of previous pay Commissions, such discrimination was never done and all the pensioners were treated equally.

NFIR & therefore, requests the Railway Board to kindly arrange to make out a case pursuant to this representation and approach DoP & PW for issuing modified instructions duly deleting para 11 of O.M. dated 12th May, 2017. copy of the proposal sent the DoP&PW may please be made available to the Federation for follow up action.

Yours faithfully,
sd/-
