Regarding Re-Engagement of Retired Staff on daily Remuneration basis for the post of Loco Pilots and Guards

No.AIRF/55                                                                        Dated: November 22, 2010

The Secretary(E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Withdrawal of Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/2010/RC-4/6 dated 16.11.2010 regarding re-engagement of retired staff on daily remuneration basis for the post of Loco Pilots and guards

The Railway Board vide above letter have authorized the Zonal Railways to engage retired Running Staff(Loco Pilots and Guards) on daily remuneration basis citing acute shortage of the staff and engage such retired staff to manage the non-running duties such as Lobby Supervisors/ Power Controllers etc. These unilateral orders have been issued by the Railway Board without any consultation with the Federation.

The posts of Lobby Supervisors(Crew Controllers) and Power Controllers(PCRs) and Traction Loco Controllers) are of supervisory in nature and in the GP of Rs.4600(Rs.6500-10500) were earlier filled on promotion as a cadre post and now on promotion as a tenure post.

In Southern Railway alone, there are about more than 120 Crew Controllers/Power Controller posts and this action of the Railway Board, directing Zonal Railways to engage retired Running Staff, not only deprives avenue of promotions to Loco Running Staff but also creates a precarious situation of regular cadre Running Staff placed under supervisory control of a casual labour by way of engaging retired Running Staff. This will result in serious discontentment among the Running Staff, and especially in Southern Railway, where there is not acute shortage, needs such a haphazard arrangement just because of a uniform orders of the Railway Board.

AIRF demands withdrawal of the above cited letter of the Railway Board immediately.

Yours faithfully,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
General Secretary

    No.E(NG)II/2007/RC-4/CORE/1





    The General Manager(P)
    All Zonal Railways/PUs RE/Allahabad & Metro Rly/Kolkata.



    Subject:Engagement of retired employees on daily remuneration basis - revision of rates



    Ref:No.E(NG)II/97/RC-4/8 dated 03.02.98



    1. The issue of revision of rates of Daily Allowance for engagement of retired employees on daily remuneration basis has been engaging the attention of the Board. It has now been decided by the Ministry of Railways that the following rates of daily allowance will be effective from the date of issue of the sanction. (i) For posts in Grade(Rs.5200-20200) + GP 1800 = Rs. 300 per day.
    (ii) For posts in Grade(Rs.5200-20200) + GP 1900/2000/2400 & 2800 = Rs. 320 per day.
    (iii) For posts in Grade(Rs.9300-34800) + GP 4200 = Rs. 550 per day.
    (iv) For posts in Grade(Rs.9300-34800) + GP 4600 = Rs. 565 per day.
    (It should, however, be ensured that in each and every case of engagement of retired employees, the daily allowance + full pension should not exceed the last pay drawn)

    2.The maximum age limit of 62 years is not to be exceeded during the period of engagement.

    3. Other terms and conditions as stipulated vide Board's letter under reference would continue to be the same.

    4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board).
