Railway Employees to get one increment at par with Central Government Employees

In line with the orders issued by Ministry of Finance for grant of one increment in the pre-revised pay scale to nullify the anomaly in respect of central government employees who were in receipt of pre-revised increment between February 2006 to June 2006, Ministry of Railway has also issued a similar order for grant of one annual increment to railway employees who were due to get their annual increment between February to June during 2006.

As per Railway Board’s order in this connection, in exercise of the powers available under RS(RP) Rules, 2008, the President is pleased to decide that in relaxation of stipulation under Rule 10 of these Rules, those Railway employees who were due to get their annual increment between February to June during 2006 may be granted one increment on 1.1.2006 in the pre-revised pay structure on 1.7.2006 as per Rule 10 of RS(RP) Rules, 2008. The pay of the eligible employees may be re-fixed accordingly.
