3.Secretary (Pension) welcomed the participants and invited the member from the staff Side as well as the official side to participate in the meeting with a free and frank approach, so that issues are appreciated and arrived at a solution.
4.Following issues were discussed during the meeting:-
(i) Applicability of DoPPW OM dated 03.03.2023 to the employees appointed on compassionate grounds – It was requested by the staff side that the facility of coverage under OPS be extended to compassionate ground appointees who had submitted their application before 01.01.2004 but were appointed after 01.01.2004. Further, it was highlighted that there is no Notification/Advertisement in the case of appointments on compassionate grounds.
Therefore, in order to extend the benefit of DoPPW OM dated 03.03.2023 to them, the date of their application for compassionate appointment may be treated as date of notification/advertisement. Accordingly, para 4 of the DoPPW’s OM dated 03.03.2023 may be revised. The proposal found favour from Ministry of Railways. Accordingly it was decided that inter-ministerial consultations with DOPT, DOLA, DFS and DOE, may be initiated on the subject.
(ii) The issue related to merger of the Railway (Pension) Rules, 1993 with the CCS(Pension) Rules, 2021 was discussed and it was requested that the same may be expedited. It was informed that the matter of merger of these rules continues to be under examination. The Ministry of Railways can separately initiate necessary amendments in the Railway (Pension) Rules 1993 as per felt-need on the subject.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair.

What is the idea behind publishing imagination and dreams when the reality depends on the decision of Modi Government on the Recommendations of the 8th CPC which is still awaiting composition and terms of reference? The Director /Commissioner / chair person of the CPC MUST be a human born with common sense, knowledge of Justice in reality that would equally LEGAL, BENEFICIAL and ALL THE WAY APPRECIABLE BY THE COMMON HARD WORKERS OF THE LAND, NOT DEPENDING OR FEARING /frightened by any BOSE. Why waste exchequer for continued CPCs every ten years. STOP IT. Look at foreign countries, no repeated CPC any where. The salaries, benefits are increased when reaching certain level without any approval by the Government automatically, with certain exemptions when there is a National need and realization of upward change/increase. No hustle. No strike, no cry, no meeting, no national level agitation. No cabinet meeting, no damaging. No killing, no police or violations. Peaceful living, peaceful implementation automatically.
