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

{ShivaGopal Mishra} 

General Secretary
