Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to posts that existed



in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on



01.01.2006 and which were granted the normal

in the pay band PB-2.

notified vide Notification GSR 643(E) dated 04.09.2008 and Schedules



circulated vide this Ministry's letter No.PC-VII2008/IIRSRP/1 dated

2. Sixth Pay Commission recommended merger of the three pre-revised



scales of Rs.5000-8000, RS.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 and replaced



them by the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band



PB-2. Vide Para 2.2.21(v) of its Report, the Commission recommended



that on account of the merger of these 3 scales, some posts which



constituted feeder and promotion grades would come to lie in an identical



grade. The Commission gave specific recommendations in its Report



granting higher grade pay of Rs.4600 to some categories of these posts.



As regards the other posts, the Commission recommended that it should



first be seen if the posts in these 3 scales can be merged without any



functional disturbance and if possible, the same should be done. Further,



the Commission recommended that in case it is not feasible to merge the



posts in these pay scales on functional consideration, the posts in the scale



of RS.5000-8000 and RS.5500-9000 should be merged with the posts in the



scale of RS.6500-10500 being upgraded to the next higher grade in the pay



band PB-2 with grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised



scale of Rs.7450-11500. In case a post already exists in the scale of



Rs.7450-11500, the post being upgraded from the scale of Rs.6500-10500



should be merged with the post in the scale of RS.7450-11500.



3. This Ministry has received a large number of references from



various Railways/Production units and other institutes/departments



proposing upgradation of the posts which were in the pre-revised scale



of RS.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006 by granting them grade pay of



.... 2/-



Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2. Consequent upon decision taken by



Ministry of Finance, it has now been decided that the posts which were



in the pre-revised scale of RS.6500-10500 as on 01.01.2006 and which



were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of



Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2, will be granted grade pay of RS.4600 in



the pay band PB-2 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-



11500 w.e.f. 01.01.2006. Further, as already stipulated in note 2 under



schedule circulated vide Annexure 'B' of Board's letter No.PC-VII



200811/RSRP/1dated 11.09.2008 in case a post already existed in the



pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500, the posts being upgraded from the



scale of RS.6500-10500 should be merged with the post in the scale of



Rs.7450-11500.



4. Accordingly, in terms of Rules 6 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008, revised pay



of Railway servants in the pre-revised scale of RS.6500-10500 who were



earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who have already exercised their



option for drawal of pay in the revised pay structure in the format



prescribed in the Second Schedule to the Rules, will be fixed again in



accordance with illustration 4-A Annexed to RS (RP) Rules, 2008.



5. In case of all su~h Railway servants in the pre-revised scale of



Rs.6500-10500 who were earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who



had opted to have their pay fixed under RS (RP) Rules, 2008, action as



prescribed in this Ministry's letter No.PC-VI/200811/RSRP/1 dated



11.09.2008 will be taken. In case a Railway servant desires to revise his



earlier option for coming over to the revised pay structure, he may be



permitted to do so without making any reference to Board.



6. On account of pay fixation in the revised pay structure of grade pay



of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2, arrears of pay will be recalculated and



difference of arrears in respect of the entire amount will be paid



immediately. The' manner of drawal of arrears has already been



indicated in this Ministry's letter NO.PC-VI/200811/RSRP/1 dated
