Clarification for calculation of emoluments of Running staff vide Railway Board's letter No. E(P&A)II-2004/RS-13 dated 30.6.2004 (RBE 140/2004). Dearness Pay (DP) calculated on a basic pay of Rs 5000 = Rs. 3250 ( Computed on BP+30% of BP) and drawn in the salary immediately before retirement
Clarification vide Railway Board's letter No. RBE No. 217/2004
No. E(P&A)II-2004/RS-13 dated 12/10/2004 Subject :- Merger of Dearness Allowance equal to 50% of basic pay with basic pay w.e.f. 1.4.2004
The issue has, therefore, been examined by the Board and it has been decided that the method, as illustrated below, is to be adopted for computing emoluments of running staff for working out their retirement benefits: -
Basic Pay (BP) = Rs.5,000
Dearness Pay (DP) = Rs. 2,500 (50% of BP)
Thus the drawn figure of (DP) is Rs.3250 and the reduced (DP) figure of Rs 2500 for calculating emoluments for retirement benefits in above two letters are different figures which is legally wrong. The emoluments cannot be reduced while calculating retirement benefits without sufficient reason that too of all running staff retired between 01/04/04 and 31/12/05. all the serving employees are drawing the figure of Rs.3250 till now and will enjoy in future and also in pay fixation under 6th CPC. Only the retired running employees are at loss. The recommendation committee 2002 on running staff can not supercede the recommendation of 5th CPC in their para 105.11 of their report, and the pay defined in railway rules in IRM codes and Railway pension rules 1993. The railway board is making fun of the retired running staff by giving misleading instructions by issuing different letters as quoted above, but they have to correct it and pay the arrears with interest.

The issue has to be examined by board, how they have issued two different letters to calculate DP on a basic pay of Rs. 5000 as 3250 while in service and Rs. 2500 for calculating average emoluments for retirement. This definitely formed two different figures. When the pension is calculated short, wrongly due to RB’s misleading instructions, by the sanctioning authority and the retired employee request for revision of pension what is the procedure,
For example on a Basic Pay of Rs.5,000.The drawn figure of (DP) is Rs.3250 vide Railway Board's letter No. E(P&A)II-2004/RS-13 dated 30.6.2004 (RBE 140/2004) ( Computed on BP+30% of BP) and drawn in the salary immediately before retirement and the reduced (DP) figure of Rs 2500 vide No. E(P&A)II-2004/RS-13 dated 12/10/2004 with Subject as Merger of Dearness Allowance equal to 50% of basic pay with basic pay w.e.f. 1.4.2004.
calculating DP for salary and for emoluments for retirement benefits in above two letters are different figures which is legally wrong. The emoluments cannot be reduced while calculating retirement benefits without sufficient reason that too of all running staff retired between 01/04/04 and 31/12/05. all the serving employees are drawing the figure of Rs.3250 till now and will enjoy in future and also in pay fixation under 6th CPC. Only the retired running employees are at loss. What should be the correct procedure.
