Sir,

Sub:- Revision of designations of Group ‘C’ staff working in Stores Deptt.

Ref:- Your letter no. III/URMU/Pt.II dated 04-06-2014.

Please connect para 4 of your letter ibid on the above subject. The issue of revision of designations of Depot Material Superintendents as JE/SSE has been examined in detail and not found feasible for acceptance due to the following reasons:-

(i) The entry at Depot Material Superintendent level (PB-2, GP Rs. 4200) is predominantly (2/3rd) through Clerical staff by promotion and only 1/3rd through diploma holders by direct recruitment whereas in Engineering Departments direct recruitment of diploma holders in Grade Pay Rs. 4200 is 50% to 100%.

(ii) The job performed by DMSs is predominantly Ministerial in nature dealing with proper accountal of stores. Therefore, designating DMSs as JE/SSE, will not be appropriate even on the basis of the nature of their duties & responsibilities.

(iii) Even at Gazetted level, the designations in Stores Department at Assistant Officers level and above are as Assistant Material Manager (AMM), Dy.Chief Material Manager (Dy.CMM) etc. and not under the nomenclature of Engineers as in other technical departments viz. Civil Engineering, Mechanical etc.

Yours faithfully,

for Secretary, Railway Board

Reference item 2 ( Applicability to various cadres) of Board's letter No. PC.III/2013/CRC/4 dated 8.10.2013 (RBE No.102/2013).

 

Both the Federations ( AIRF/NFIR) had advised that Railways are facing difficulty in implementing the instructions contained in item 2 of Board's letter ibid regarding "only those temporary posts which are in operation for atleast three years may also be taken into account for the purpose of applying revised percentage" and requested Board to amend this clause.

 

In view of the above, the matter has been reviewed by the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) and it has been decided that existing instructions contained in item 2 of Board's letter PC-III/2013/CRC/4 dated 8.10.2013 (RBE No.102/2013), may be revised as follows:-

Item	Existing instruction	Modified instruction
(2)	These orders will be applicable to the permanent regular cadres ( excluding surplus & supernumerary posts) of the Open Line establishments including Workshops, Production Units, RDSO and Centralized Training Institutes. Only those temporary posts which are in operation for atleast three years may also be taken into account for the purpose of applying revised percentage. This will be subject to certification that these posts are meant for regular activities which will continue and not for any sporadic requirements.	These orders will be applicable to the permanent regular cadres ( excluding surplus & supernumerary posts) of the Open Line establishments including Workshops, Production Units, RDSO and Centralized Training Institutes. Temporary posts may be taken into account for the purpose of cadre restructuring subject to certification that these posts are meant for regular activities which will continue and not for any sporadic requirements. In the event of any temporary posts so reckoned being surrendered within a period of three years of their original creation, percentage distribution of posts in the cadre would also be suitably re-adjusted, not later than the time of the first subsequent annual review.

This issues with the approval of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
