Dear Sir,



Sub: (i) Grant of MACP to Guards Category  – AIRF’s PNM Item No.2 2011

 and (ii) Placement of Pharmacists in the Entry GP of  Rs.4200(NFG)

on completion of two years service in GP  Rs.2800 as well as grant of

 three MACPs to the Pharmacist category on the Indian Railways

AIRF’s PNM Item No.4/2011



This is to draw your attention towards Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench’s

O.A. No.484/2011, 507/2011, 561/2011, 610/2011, 647/2011

and 650/2011 dated 22.02.2012(photocopy enclosed for ready reference) in the

matter of Pankajakshan M. and others(Applicants) VS Union of India and others

 (Respondents), wherein Hon’ble CAT has directed the Respondents

that the MACP already granted to Guards’ Category should be

restored and no recovery of the amounts, if any already paid,

should be affected from any staff of this category. The CAT has further

observed by quoting para 126.5 of the report of the VI CPC that

such type of judgement should be equally applied for all the similarly

placed employees.



In view of the above, the Board are requested to restore the benefit

of the MACP, already granted to Guard’s Category as also to

Pharmacists placed in the initial Grade Pay of Rs.4200 on

completion of two years service in GP Rs.2800 and no recovery

 of amount, if any already paid, should be affected.  



The General Managers of the Indian Railways may be advised accordingly under advice to this

Federation.



An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.  

Yours faithfully
