Honored SIR,
Railway Protection Force Pensioner’s Welfare Association, South Central Railway, Secunderabad heartily welcome your good honor and all the other VII CPC officials to Hyderabad. RPFPWA founded in the year 2011 is having around 250 members and serving the pensioner’s problems/grievances and other pending pension matters through RPF and SC Railway administrative officers.Sir, It is submitted that the RPF now has emerged as one of the Super Force in dealing with all the matters appertaining to Indian Railways, our Force Personnel are being taken on deputation to work in various Ministries/Departments. Railway Protection Force (RPF) is one of the Central Armed Police Force charged with protecting the Indian Railways with certain legal powers under various Acts, investigate cases, and prosecute the accused in the Courts of Law. In addition, it is submitted that RPF duties and functions over Indian Railways/or on any other duties outside Railways, are same as that of other CPOs (Central Police organizations/CPMFs (Central Para-Military Forces) in the assigned jurisdiction like that of BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBT, RAF. The RPF functions under the supervision, control and command of the Ministry of Railways through its Director General, RPF. The duties of the Railway Protection Force include: To do all conducive means for the free movement of the railways; Protection and safeguarding of railway property; Protection and safeguarding of passenger, their belongings and passenger areas. The erstwhile British Raj ‘Company Police’ evolved into present RPF in 1957 passing through "Watch and Ward" phase from 1872-1954, and as "Railway Security Force" from 1954-1956,and expanding with certain legal powers. For maintenance of an effective and disciplined Force, the RPF Rules and Regulations, The RPF Act, 1957 was accordingly modified for carrying out the purposes of the Act, and the RPF Rules 1987.
Sir,It is submitted that while the RPF functions under Ministry of Railways, the other CPOs/CPMFs works under Ministry of Home Affairs. Though RPF is also a Uniformed Force, the VI CPC made out recommendations for RPF separately and for the CPOs / CPMFs separately. The same were implemented by the concerned Ministries from 01-01-1996.However, in later years, the GOI extended the same pay scales of CPOs/CPMFs and the Ministry of Railways implemented the same to the RPF as that of other CPOs/CPMFs from the date of the Orders. Due to this different dates of implementations, the RPF Pensioners who retired prior to 2006, (between 1986-2006) are not getting the Grade Pay as that of RPF Pensioners who retired after 01-01-2006. While some of the pre-2006 retiree Inspectors get Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- and some others get Rs.4200/-, and so on for other ranks also.
Sir,It is submitted that your good honor may kindly consider to recommend the same pay scales/Grade Pay, etc., and other perks similarly as that of other CPOs/CPMFs, so that the RPF Officials/Pensioners shall also be treated at par with that of other Central Govt. Armed Forces of the Union of India, and also get the same benefits right from the date of implementation of the VII CPC, for this act of kindness, we shall ever be grateful and oblige.Most respectfully and humbly submitted for favor of kind consideration.Yours faithfully,
(V.SESHADRI)PRESIDENT
