7.36.53 It has been stated that the entry pay scale of Rs.5500-9000 should be prescribed for Guards since graduation has been prescribed as the entry qualification for this post. It has also been stated that the duty of guards is arduous and they suffer various health hazards due to improper sleep, food, mental and physical strain and risk apart from being deprived of family life. A new, higher post of Guard Counselor in the scale Rs.6500-10500 has been demanded.
Recommendations
7.36.54 Entry scale in Railways for other posts carrying minimum qualification of a graduate degree is generally Rs.4500-7000. Higher scale of Rs.5500-9000 may not, therefore, be granted to Guards on this count. In the revised pay structure being recommended by the Commission, the post of Mail Express Guard will be placed in the scale of Rs.6500-10500. Accordingly, there is no need to introduce an apex post of Guard Counselor in the scale of Rs.6500-10500. On account of the proposed merger of the scales of Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500, the posts of Senior Goods Guard/ Senior Passenger Guard/ Mail Express Guard shall come to lie in an identical pay band and grade pay. These posts should, therefore, be merged.
