Respected Sir,



Sub: Eligibility of First class travel for JEs and others in the Grade Pay of Rs.4200 -

Residential Card Pass, School Card Pass and School Cheque Pass.



Ref: 1. Railway Board's Letter No. E(W)97 PS5-1/62-A dated 8.7.2003 (RBE 119/2003) ACS No. 41.

       2. Railway Board’s letter No. E(W)2008/PS 5-1/38  dated 6th Jan, 2011 (RBE 3-2011)



In reference to the Board’s letter on revised pay limits for entitlement of Privilege Pass/PTOs,

we would like to bring to your kind notice the following issue for your favourable consideration.



1.  Residential Card Pass is issued to a Railway servant for performing rail journey from the

place of residence to the place of his work.



2.  School Card Pass is issued to each such student son/ daughter of the railway servant to commute between the station of the residence of the railway servant and the station nearest to the school/ college on production of a certificate from the recognised institution where the student is studying.



3.  School Cheque Pass is issued to each such student son/ daughter who is dependent on the railway servant on production of a certificate from the recognised institution where the student is studying and which is away from the headquarters of the Railway servant for undertaking journeys specifically listed in a schedule.



4.  Prior to the issue of Railway Board order on revised pay limits for entitlement of Privilege Pass/PTOs, (Railway Board’s letter No. E(W)2008/PS 5-1/38  dated 6th Jan, 2011 (RBE 3-2011)) travel eligibility for all the three kinds of passes referred above were same as that of passes issued on privilege account. Refer Board’s letter  No. E(W)97PS5-1/62 (RBE No/119/2003) dated 08/07/2003 in the annexure.



5.  Railway Board’s orders on revised pay limits for entitlement of Privilege Pass/PTOs, in Sixth Pay Commission Scales (vid Railway Board’s letter No. E(W)2008/PS 5-1/38  dated 6th Jan, 2011 (RBE 3-2011)) granted First class travel eligibility to all the employees in the Grade Pay of Rs.4200.



6.  Hence, it is requested that, First class travel entitlement may please be awarded for the Residential Card Pass, School Card Pass and School Cheque Pass for all the employees in the Grade Pay of Rs.4200 as given in the case of privilege pass in same principle followed earlier.
