Dear Sir,

The Financial Commissioner(Railways), Railway Board,
New Delhi

Sub: Upgradation of posts in the Railways recommended by 7th Central Pay Commission – clearance of DoP&T-reg.

Ref: Railway Board’s file No. PC-VII/2016/RSRP/2-RBE No. 93/2016 dated 02/08/2016 to GMs etc.

The recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission for upgradation of posts for the categories of Railway employees have been referred to Department of Personnel &Training by the Ministry of Finance for taking a comprehensive view in the matter.

The categories along with details are given below

S.No	Name of Posts	(Para No. of Report of 7th CPC	VI CPC Grade Pay	Grade Pay recommended by 7th CPC
1	Senior Section Officer (Accounts) / Senior Travelling Inspector (Accounts) / Senior Iinspector (Store Accounts)	11.40.53	4800	5400 (PB-2)
2	Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant	11.40.124	4200	4600
3	Chemical & Metallurgical Superintendent	11.40.124	4600	4800
4	Assistant Chemist and Metallurgist	11.40.124	4800	5400 (PB-2)

In view of valid justification and recommendation given by 7th CPC for granting upgradation to higher Grade Pay in the case of above categories, the NFIR requests the Railway Board to kindly approach DoP&T to give clearance for implementation. NFIR. also conveys that there is apprehension among the staff that the approach of Railway Board is lukewarm, and not positive, consequently, the DoP&T is delaying its decision to convey approval while the 7tl1 CPC similar recommendations for upgradation of posts in other ministries are being cleared.

NFIR., therefore, requests the Railway Board (MS & FC) to kindly impress upon the DoP&T to accept 7th CPC recommendation for upgradation of above mentioned posts early.

Yours faithfully,

General Secretary
