Subject:- Grant of the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 to posts that existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 and which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2

Sixth Pay commission recommended merger of the three pre-revised scales of Rs.5000-8000, Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500 and replaced them by the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2. Vide para 2.2.21 (v) of its report, the Commission recommended that on account of the merger of these 3 scales, some posts which constituted feeder and promotion grades would come to lie in an identical grade. The Commission gave specific recommendations in its Report granting higher grade pay of Rs.4600 to some categories of these posts. As regards the other posts, the Commission recommended that it should first be seen if the posts in theses 3 scales can be merged without any functional disturbance and if possible, the same should be done, Further, the Commission recommended that in case it is not feasible to merge the posts in these pay scales n functional consideration, the posts in the scale of Rs.5000-8000 and Rs.5500-9000 should be merged with the posts in the scale of Rs.6500-10500 being upgraded to the next higher grade in the pay band PB-2 with grade pay of Rs.4600 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500, the posts being upgraded from the scale of Rs.6500-10500 should be merged with the post in the scale of Rs. 7450-10500.
The above recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission were notified vide para (ii), Section I in Parts B and C of the First Schedule to the CCS (RP) Rules,2008. While Part B of the First Schedule of he CCS(RP) Rules relates to revised pay scales for common categories of staff, Part C notifies revised pay structure for certain posts in Ministries, Departments and Union Territories. The above provisions of the Rules specifically mentioned that up-gradations in terms of para (ii) Section I may be done in consultation with Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance.
Consequent upon the Notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, Department of Expenditure has received a large number of references from administrative ministries / departments proposing up-gradations of the posts which were in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 by been granting them grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2. The matter has been considered and it has now been decided that the posts which were granted the normal replacement pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2, will be granted pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 corresponding to the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 w.e.f.1.1.2006. Further, in terms of the aforementioned provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, in case a post already existed in the pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500, the posts being upgraded from the scale of Rs.5600-10500 should be merged with the post in the scale of Rs.7450-11500.
Accordingly, in terms of Rule 6 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, revised pay of Government servants in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 who were earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who have already exercised their option for drawal of pay in the revised pay structure in the format prescribed in the Second Schedule to the Rules, will be fixed again in accordance with illustration 4A annexed to CCS (RP)Rules,008.
In case of all such Government servants in the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 who were earlier granted grade pay of Rs.4200 and who had opted to have their pay fixed under CCS(RP) Rules, 2008, action as prescribed in this Department’s O.M. of even number dated 30th August, 2008 will be taken. In case a Government servant desires to revise his earlier option for coming over to the revised pay structure, he may be permitted to do so without any reference to this Department.
6. On account of pay fixation in the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2, arrears of pay will be recalculated and difference of arrears in respect of the entire amount will be paid immediately. The manner of drawal of arrears has already been indicated in this Departments/s O.M. of even number dated 30.8.2008.

Following deduction will be available from salary for ITax Rebate 1) Mileage 2)Compensation under voluntary retirement scheme; 3)Amount of gratuity received on retirement or death; 4)Amount received on commutation of pension

SALARY,ALLOWANCES,PERKS DIRECT TAX CODE

Dear Friends,

When I first read the Direct Tax code , Like other people I first read the New Tax Rate and published the same for you and all other website in www discuss benefits from direct tax code but now we will discuss here what have taken back from us. Remember as per Govt Statement tax revenue will Increase after implementation of new Direct Tax Code. In This post we will cover the salaried Class.

Under the Code, the salary will now include, inter-alia, the following:-

  1. the value of rent free, or concessional, accommodation provided by the employer irrespective of whether the employer is a Government or any other person; (earlier nominal value for Govt Employees)(read earlier rules here:valuation of rent free accommodation)
  2. the value of any leave travel concession;(earlier exempted up to 2 journey in four year block)(read earlier rules here: LTC Exemption
  3. the amount received on encashment of unavailed earned leave on retirement or otherwise;(earlier exempted for 30 days for each year of service or maxi 3.00 Lakhs) (read earlier rules here:leave encashment )
  4. medical reimbursement; and 
  5. the value of free or concessional medical treatment paid for, or provided by,the employer.(read earlier rules here:valuation of medical facility)
  6. The value of rent-free accommodation will be determined for all employees in the same manner as is presently determined in the case of employees in the private sector. The new regime of comprehensive taxation of perquisites across employees in all sectors of the economy will improve both the horizontal and vertical equity of the tax system.

DOWNLAOD NEW TAX RATES OF INDIVIDUAL

Further the following deduction will be available from salary income

  1. amount of professional tax paid;
  2. transport allowance to the extent prescribed;
  3. prescribed special allowance or benefit to meet expenses wholly and exclusively incurred in the performance of duties, to the extent actually incurred;
  4. compensation under voluntary retirement scheme;
  5. amount of gratuity received on retirement or death;
  6. amount received on commutation of pension; and
  7. pension received by gallantry awardees.

Further Item at Sr No 4,5,6 would  be available to the extent the amounts are paid to, or deposited in a Retirement Benefits Account. The amounts received from an approved superannuation fund, hitherto exempt from income tax, will henceforth also be treated in the same manner.

So there will be no exemption for House rent Allowance (HRA) (read HRA present rule) Further exemption for following allowances has also not been provided in new Direct tax code as compare to present tax provisions.

  1. entertainment allowance
  2. children education allowance
  3. children Hostel allowance
  4. HRA (house rent allowance)

The list is not exhaustive but we can say that other than deduction prescribed above no deduction from salary income is allowed. Further EET regime has been now fully introduced for all type of savings scheme which we discuss in separate post.

E: exempt at the time of Investment

E:Interest ,bonuses ,increments during the period of investment will not be taxed at all

T:full amount received at the time of Maturity is taxable in the hands of assesses.

For 18000 RngStaff 15 Billion Dollars will be spent within 3 Years for Up-gradation of CMS by CRIS! RngStaff Be aware? Expenses may be shown in our A/c (PlanHead). How it will be balanced?

18 हजार ट्रेन कर्मचारियों के लिए 15 अरब डॉलर आईटी सिस्टम आपग्रेड करेगी

आधुनिक टेक्नोलॉजी से रेलवे में हो रहा परिवर्तन

अब तक रेलवे ड्राइवर को ट्रेन सौंपने का कार्य मैन्युअली करती थी. पहले यह तय नहीं था और विद्यमान ड्राइवर को यह जानकारी भी नहीं होती थी कि अगले स्टेशन पर ड्यूटी समाप्त होने पर वह इंजन किस ड्राइवर को सौंपेगा, परंतु अब ऐसा नहीं रहेगा. अब रेलवे में नई टेक्नोलॉजी के कारण स्थिति में बहुत परिवर्तन आया है. अब भारतीय रेल के 18,000 ट्रेन चालक दल, नई क्रू प्रबंध सिस्टम (सीएमएस) का लाभ उठाएंगे. यह एक इनहाऊस ड्राइवर डिक्लप्ड सॉफ्टवेयर है. इसमें बायोमेट्रिक पहचान अर्थात ड्राइवर की पहचान की व्यक्तिगत सांख्यिकी होगी और इसी पहचान के आधार पर ट्रेन आवंटन होगी. इस सिस्टम में प्रत्येक इंजिन क्रू के विवरण रहेंगे. इसी के आधार प्रत्येक चालक और ट्रेन का टाइम टेबल पहले से ही निर्धारित रहेगा. भारतीय रेलवे 37,000 करोड़ के बजट वाली एक स्वतंत्र और सर्वोपरि अर्थव्यवस्था है. प्रतिदिन 18,000 सवारी गाडिय़ों में 1.80 करोड़ यात्री यात्रा करते हैं. आगामी तीन वर्षों के अंदर-अंदर इस सॉफ्टवेयर को अपग्रेड करने के लिए 15 अरब डॉलर व्यय होने की संभावना है.
चालक दल को योग्य रीति से काम मिलेगा. राजधानी, शताब्दी और सामान्य एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों को चलाने/संचालन के लिए एक अलग विशिष्ट कौशल्य की जरूरत होती है. डीजल और विद्युत संचालित इंजनों के लिए भी विशिष्ट कौशल जरूरी है. अब हम चालक दल के सदस्य और उनके नंबर पर सर्च कर यह जान सकते हैं कि वह इस समय कहा है. सेंटर फार रेलवे इंफोर्मेशन सिस्टम (सीआरआईएस) CRIS ने वर्ष 2006 में क्रू मैनेजमेंट पाइलट प्रोजेक्ट शुरू किया है. इससे अब चालक दल के सदस्यों को उनके परिजन जान सकते हैं कि वे इस समय कहा हैं.

LI SLI Anomaly solved revised stepping up fixation will B given as per RB’s L.No. S.No.PC-VI/131 RBE No. 236 /2009 dt 24.07.09

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS

(RAILWAY BOARD )

S.No.PC-VI/131 RBE No. 236 /2009

No.E(P&A)II/2008/RS-37 New Delhi, dated 24.07.2009

The General Managers/CAOs,

All Indian Railways & Prod. Units etc,

(as per mailing lists No.I & II)

Sub : Anomaly in fixation of pay of Loco Supervisory staff appointed prior to 01.01.2006 with reference to their juniors appointed after 01.01.2006 and drawing more pay than the seniors.

It has come to the notice of the Board that staff appointed prior to 1.1.2006 as Loco Running Supervisors in the pre-revised pay scales, whose pay has been fixed in the replacement pay structure for Loco Running Supervisors under the RS(RP) Rules, 2008, are drawing less pay than their juniors appointed as Loco Running Supervisor after 1.1.2006. The anomaly has arisen due to the fact that the benefit of element of Running allowance granted at the time of promotion of running staff to a stationary post has been granted to the junior in the revised pay structure, whereas, the same benefit granted to the senior is of lesser value as the same has been calculated on pre-revised pay scale.

2. It has been decided that the anomaly may be resolved by granting stepping up of pay in pay band to the seniors at par with the juniors in terms of Note 10 below Rule 7 of RS (RP) Rules, 2008.

3. The benefit of stepping up of pay in pay band will be subject to the following conditions:-

(a) Both the junior and the senior Railway servants should belong to the same cadre and the posts in which they have been promoted should be identical in the same cadre and other conditions enumerated in Note 10 below Rule 7 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008 should also be fulfilled.

(b) The stepping up of pay will be allowed to running staff only appointed as Loco Supervisors in whose cases 30% of basic pay is taken as pay element in the running allowance. The stepping up of pay will not be admissible to the nonrunning staff of Mechanical Deptt. Appointed as Loco Running Supervisors as in their cases the question of pay element in the running allowance does not arise;

(c) If even in the lower post, revised or pre-revised, the junior was drawing more pay than the senior by virtue of advance increments granted to him or otherwise, stepping up will not be permissible;

(d) Stepping up will be allowed only once, the pay so fixed after stepping up will remain unchanged

(e) The next increment will be allowed on the following 1st July, if due, on completion of the requisite qualifying service with effect from the date of refixation of pay, as per the provisions of Rule 10 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008.

4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

5. Hindi version will follow.

NEW DELHI: Indian Railways has over 1.7 lakh vacancies which will be filled after the current recruitment process is reviewed, Railway Minister

She said there were issues of regional aspirations and problems in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Guwahati over RRB exams. "We are reviewing the entire process."
Of the total sanctioned strength of 15,66,964 employees, there were 1,72,444 vacancies, she said. Most of the vacancies were in Group ‘C’ at 1,12,566, followed by Group ‘D’ at 58,329. There are 1,549 vacancies in A and B, she said.
"Any large organisation like the Railways will have certain vacancies at any point of time. Arising of and filling up of vacancies is a continuous process," she said.
