Reckoning of 30% of Pay Element for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff - AIRF

No.AIRF/97(LI)

Dated: April 24, 2012


The Secretary(E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Reckoning of 30% of Pay Element for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff

Ref: Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II-2011/RS-51 dated 17.04.2012

The clarification regarding reckoning of 30% of Pay Element for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff is quite surprising.

Whatever decision was taken previously, while implementing recommendations of the VI CPC, cannot be applied mutatis-mutandis
in the present context when Transport Allowance is being paid after implementation of recommendations of the VI CPC as a new concept. Transport Allowance, after implementation of the report of the VI CPC, is also a part of the City Compensatory Allowance, which has been discontinued after 01.01.2006.

The Board are, therefore, requested to review this issue and discuss the matter threadbare with AIRF to arrive at an agreeable solution of this problem.

Since Loco Running Staff is a very sensitive category, this issue needs to be decided on overriding priority.

Yours faithfully
sd/-
{ShivaGopal Mishra}
General Secretary
