National Federation of Indian Railways demands changes in recommendations
Written by Administrator on June 23rd, 2008The National Federation of Indian Railways (NIFR) has demanded changes in some of the recommendations of Sixth Pay Commission.
Talking to newsmen here today, the Joint Secretary, NIFR J G Mahurkar said, he said that 34 lakh Railway employees are upset and agitated over some of the recommendations of the pay Commission.
He demanded merger of 74 percent dearness allownce with basic pay before fixing of pay scales effective from June 1, 2006 instead of 50 percent DA merger with basic pay scale as recomended by the pay Commission.
He also demanded continuing payment of City Compensatory Allownce (CCA) to the employees, which has been abolished by the Commission.

Sir,
Now it has been two months passed, after the pay commission report submitted to govt but no official announcement as been issued. The report of screening committe was due by 31 May 2008, till date no report has been submitted. All the media are silant on the issue. Once CM P Chitambaram has said that hiked pay will be given on hand in the month of September 2008, it means the official letter will be issued in the month of August 2008. What is the latest news.
Madam Soniaji… Just have a mother’s look in this matter and kindly get pay commission recommendations announced before we sinking

All are requesting Madam Soniaji to intervene in the Pay Commission case, but all must know that the congress motto is to tret the Central Staff as of thier slaves. You look into the Congress History since Independence. Neither Ms Sonia nor her son will do anu justice to the Central Govt Employees it is no use of requesting her. Because they are part and parcel of Congrress. They can bribe the innocent formers, SC, ST and poor at the cost of tax payer in a vote bank policy, like the one they have done by sanctioning a loan waver scheme of Rs, 60,000 crores and then enhancing to 72,000 crores, by the by whose money is it. Are they paying their money not not at all. They themselves are enjouing their life at the cost of tax payers hard earned money. So dont request Madam Soniaji and there is no use of requesting her.

Govt. of India has the sufficient fund to provide financial support to the family of terrorists who had killed nos. of innocent people & demolished national property as it could understand the word of destruction only but no fund for relevant pay for it’s workers.
The report of 6th.cpc is the brainchild of Mr. P. Chidambaram though the Chairman of 6th. CPC.being blamed.
Don’t expect anything from Cong. Govt. as their gesture towards the worker not fair.Workers were deprived in all those CPCs(except 5th.cpc) during the reign of Cong.&
whenever Mr.PC & Mr. P.Mukherjee are in the Cabinet.

Sir, It would be in the good interest of all the employees that a reasonable request is made that instead of having the Pay Commission for every ten years, let us have it once in five years, in view of the changing scenario of the situations and circumstances. As we all know that after waiting for ten years the employees will come to know that their salary is increased marginally. So if this is the case why not that marginal increase be within five years span.

The railway is going competion with other transport like road transport so need of better quality of staffs and officers in the railway it is very grateful to the chairman 6th central pay commission who made full efort on educational activities in fixing the scale of pay but the railway should make change the internal policies to choose better quality of staffs and officers henceforth the selection of the promottee officers should be made open wise by abolishing 1:1 or 1:3 etc so call all eligible candidates in a year or on every two years by creating vacancies throughout Indian railway suppose there are 60 vacancies of ACM /ATM created through Indian railway so all all commercial inspectors and traffic inspectors may be called by rly board and a competetion should be made through written examination in two level like upsc examination and vivavoce if most require without fixing the seniority marks then all successful candidate may be placed in their respective zone if not available then post in other zonal railway because we should not continue to select inferior qualitylike one eyed man amongst blinds in the comepition market and all officers to be provided railway accomodation by ear mark accomodation ;simirly for APO from welfare inspectors and cos only be allowed .The selection committee may be framed at railway board by consisting of 9memebers from 9zone and all questions may please be set up in objective type and result to be declared within 3 hours through examination by computer in presence of all appearing candidates.

the sixth pay commission should be made in such a way that it will reduce the differentiate in between central govt. undertakings and central government not by basic pay but by gross earning so that people are very keen to join central govt. instead others.if good decision is not taken today then a day will come where people of nation find talented persons give their brain in other nation which prosperous their nation and our nation will get a short of money by NRI visa tax etc .i don’t say that by making loss u pay higher scale but for implementing that u can have many plan to enhance the scale .we can face any challenge as per requirement.

The pay commission of year 1996 was not correct.According to 1996 ppay commission the grade of PWS(Permanent Way Supervisior) is 4500-7000 and the JE(pway) grade is 5000-8000.But past pay commission treated both equaly.so in coming 6th pay commssion both the post equaly both these post PWS & JE(PWAY).

It was observed in audit that on Northern and North Eastern Railways a cashier was entitled for receipt of honorarium after cash disbursement of Rs.4.50 lakhs (Northern) and Rs.8 lakhs (North Eastern). However, the two Railway Administrations had fixed a monthly ceiling for payment of honorarium to Cashier viz. Rs.3741 and PLB etc & Cash poter Kh. 1,109 (Northern) and Rs.2,150 (North Eastern) per month i.e. Rs.1,33,.132 and Rs.1,25,800 per annum respectively. The reasons why other Railways could not fix ceiling limit for payment of honorarium to cashiers is not known.& PLB payment honorarium extra not ceiling limit.Rs. 2800 paid one hrs. Amt.one Hrs. rate Cashier 21.50 & Cash Poter i.e per hrs. 10.5
Why all the payments are not done by banks? why the Railway afoard all Cashier, Kh. & RPF satff Honorium, TA & other Allowance?if it is done by the of railways employee the Govt. have to spend Rs.500/- on each employee but if it is done by the Bank there will be no damage in the revanue of the railway.

this is absurd to say that railways has to spent 1500 per employee.first of all let us take a division where 5 to 6 staffs of pay office are posted say each person gets 30000 in average so total 180000 or say 200000 paid including all allowences 12 to 15 rpf staffs are posted their aveage payment is 15000 so total will be 400000 including all allowences to all staffs now in a division minimum 10000 employee works so expences incurred in payment is 40 rupees per employee not 1500 or 500 now for pyment through railways has pay 150 per person to banks that means railway has to pay more than triple the expences incurred by payment by cashier now decide

This is regarding Stengoraphers Cadre. MACP has been introduced so that there is no stagnation in a particular Grade and everyone gets three upgradations i.e. actual promotional scales in 30 years of service irrespective of number of years in a particular grade. In other words, if a person has spent 8 years in one Grade and 12 years in 2nd Grade, he is due for a 2nd upgradation i.e. actual 2nd promotional scale (not merely the Grade Pay increase). Similarly if a person has spent 8 years in one Grade and after spending 16 years in 2nd Grade, he was given 2nd promotional upgradation or promotion, he becomes due for 3rd promotional upgradation after completion of 30 years of service. Likewise there may be a number of cases. The thumb rule is that one must get 3 promotional upgradations in the pay scale after spending 30 years in service (not just only the Grade Pay increase) and that is what is the objective of the Assured Career Progression now called Modified Career Progression Scheme.
