Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to NFIR PNM Item No. 23/2017 and references cited above.
Despite discussions with the Official Side of the Railway Board (Pay Commission and Finance Directorates), the issue continues to remain pending even after a lapse of over three years. The Running Staff are extremely unhappy over Railway Board’s indifferent attitude in deciding this genuine issue. During a separate discussion with the CRB on 26/03/2021, NFIR representatives have also mentioned this pending subject concerning this critical safety category (Running Staff) leading to dissatisfaction among them.
Pay fixation of running staff in 7th CPC – Merger of Dearness Allowance with the Basic Pay w.e.f. April 1, 2004
NFIR, therefore, urges to arrange a separate meeting at the level of DG (HR) or Additional Member (Staff) soon for discussing the subject for finalization.
Yours faithfully,
(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
