Sub:- Revision of Pension - Pre -96 and Pre -2006 retirees with reference to Corresponding pay scales.

Ref:- Your letter No. AIRF/44 (103) dated 27.4.2011

Dear Comrade,

   Pay Scale of Head Clerks prior to Vth CPC was Rs.1400-2300 (Rs.4500-7000 Vth CPC) Vth CPC upgraded this pay scale to (Rs. 1600-2660) (Rs. 5000-8000) w.e.f. 1.1.96.

   The Govt. have clarified that the pension of pre 1996 retirees is to be hiked with reference to the corresponding revised pay scale i.e. Rs. 4500-7000 to 50% of Rs. 4500 and not with reference to Rs. 5000-8000 which came in to force w.e.f. 1 .9.96.

   This matter has been taken to Supreme Court which held that the above clarification was valid.

   These very instructions have been reiterated by Railway Board vide their letter dated 18.3.2010.

   In view of the Supreme Court order there is nothing which can be done or would be achieved even if the matter is again taken up.

Yours fraternally,
