Sub: Clarification regarding Pass entitlement in cases of posting/transfer with Pay Protection to posts in lower Scale of Pay/Pay Level.

Ref: Board’s letters No. E(W)2012/PS5-1/4 dated 10.09.2013 and 18.03.2014.

A query has emerged in the meeting of Nodal Officers for E-Pass/PTO Module of HRMS, as to whether the Second Class ‘A’ Pass entitlement in transfer cases ordered with Pay Protection can also be continued as like First Class Pass entitlement administered in terms of instructions contained in Board’s above cited letters.

2. The issue has been examined and it is clarified that as in the case of First Class Pass, the existing entitlement of Second Class ‘A’ Pass shall also continue to be the same in case of Railway Servants transferred/posted to a lower Scale of Pay/Pay Level in Pay Matrix, on being medically decategorized or on inter-railway transfer on own request if such posting/transfer has ordered with Pay Protection.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
