Letter No. RPFPWA/SCR/2013                                                                          Date: 09-03-2013

Minutes of the meeting of the RPFPWA, SCR, SC held on 09-03-2013 at the office of the
                             AIRRF, Chilkalguda, Secunderabad from 10.00 -13.00 hrs.

                       On 09-03-2013 between 10.00 to 13.00 hours monthly meeting of the RPFPWA,SCR,SC was held at the AIRRF office, Chilkalguda, Secunderabad. Sri. S.V.Satya Narayana, ASC/Retired presided over the meeting. 42 RPF pensioners attended the meeting
                       At the outset, Sri. M.Srinivasulu, Treasurer, welcomed the gathering and appraised the house of the latest position of the pending grievances and financial position of the association. He urged upon the members to contribute liberally and pay the subscriptions in time to consolidate financial status of the association for which the members responded positively.
                       Sri.S.V.SatyaNarayan, Sri.P.Zakariah, Sri. J.K. Nanda, ASCs/Retired, addressed the gathering. They counseled the members about Yoga; Meditation; regular exercise to keep good health; Sri. S.V.Satya Narayana highlighted about the benefits of medical aid rendered by the Railway hospitals under RELHS and suggested them to continue to be members of the RELHS and avail the benefit. 

                       Some members suggested that the services of the retired RPF men may be availed as security guards replacing untrained private security men for better security of the railway premises and installations. The house unanimously supported the suggestion and requested the President and the General Secretary to move this matter at the appropriate level.

                       Many members expressed their displeasure and resentment over the abnormal delay in making the payment of increment arrears of Feb-June, 2006 on account of unification of increment dates consequent upon the VI CPC implementation. Surprisingly all working employees have already been paid these arrears long ago ignoring the pensioners.

                       Railway Board vide Letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 12-01-2011(RBE No.6/2011/PC-VI-245) have already clarified that the benefit of Passes/PTOs corresponding to the next higher grade pay granted under MACP scheme will be available to the employees. Vide Serial Circular No. 01/2011 – PC Circular No.244, SCR/P-Hq-Ruling/926 dated 07-01-2011, Railway Board No.E(W)2008/PS5-1/38 dated 06-01-2011 (RBE No.03/2011)- PC-VI-244,employees in the grade pay of Rs.4200/- and above are eligible for First Class Pass. After all yesterday’s employees are the pensioners of date and today’s employees are pensioners of tomorrow. As far as complementary pass is concerned, the benefits extended to the working employees should also be extended to the pensioners of the same grade pay. Unfortunately, may be, due to misinterpretation or misunderstanding of the Railway Board’s Concept, the pensioners are deprived of this benefit on the simple ground that Board’s letter under reference does not contain the word “pensioner”. To meet the ends of justice, this disparity between the “employee” and the “pensioner” with regard to the issue of the Pass may be removed and the benefits may be extended to the Pensioner also.
                    The meeting ended with vote of thanks by Sri. B.Bal Reddy, Jt.Gen.Secy.

Further, IG-cum-Chief Security Commissioner/RPF, East Coast Railway, Bhubaneswar vide Letter No.RPF ECoR/E/08-03/1219 dated 06-3-2013 addressed to the Director, RPF, Railway Board, New Delhi with a copy to the GM, East Coast Railway, BBS, and others, that vide Order dated 05-3-2013 the Honorable Minister of Railways has gone through the reply/letter of the  IG-cum-CSC,RPF, East Coast Railway, BBS, and stated -“... Follow up action may be taken at their end (IG-cum-CSC, RPF, ECoR, BBS) with Railway Board to obtain conclusive reply of the said grievance”, same placed on website and returned the case with above comments to the IG-cum-CSC, RPF, ECoRly, BBS; in turn IG.ECoRly,BBS have requested the Director, RPF, RB, New Delhi to take early action on my grievance and ATR be intimated to them so that further correspondence can be made with me and uploaded the same in site.
            It may not be out of place to mention that the DoP&T under its OM No. No.22011/4/98-Estt (D) dated 12-10-1998,  envisaged that the DPCs while preparing the Panel List(s) the names of the retired employees are also be included in the Panel(s)-if need be, prepare extended panels… and that “… according to legal opinion also it would not be in order if eligible employees who were within the zone of consideration for the relevant year(s) but are not actually in service when the DPC is being held, are not considered while preparing year-wise zone of consideration/panel and, consequently, their juniors are considered (in their places) who would not have been in the zone of consideration if the DPC(s) had been held in time…”. But, in contra, ironically, the RPF Directorate/RTI Reply vide RTI Reply No.41011/12/2012-Estt.

Further, vide-RTI Reply No.41011/12/2012-Estt. (D) - Dated 07-12-2012 given by the DoP&T for a clarification in ref. to DoP&T OM-No.22011/4/98-Estt (D) dated 12-10-1998 that these Orders have not been amended and stands operative till date.
