Advance /withdrawal from State Railway Provident Fund [SRPF] in the 6th CPC scales of pay – reg

            Consequent upon implementation of the decision of the Government on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission, references have been received from some of the zonal railways as to whether advances / withdrawal from SRPF is to be sanctioned as per the existing entitlement, on the basis of the revised pay in the pay band / pay scale.  The matter has been examined, in consultation with Department of Pension  & Pensioners’ Welfare and it is clarified that advances / withdrawals from SRPF are to be sanctioned as per the existing entitlement on the basis of the “ basic pay” as defined in the Railway Services [Revised Pay ] Rules, 2008. 

 

            This disposes of Eastern Railway’s letter No. F/P/RULES dated 22.10.2008 and  Southern Railway’s letter No. P.541/HQ/PF/Policy/Vol.IV dated 31.10.2008.
