A doubt had been raised by one of the zonal railways on the admissibility of the quantum of Composite Transfer Grant in respect of those employees who joined Railway service prior to 1.5.1976 in case they opt to transport their luggage on transfer or on settlement after superannuation without availing of the facility of Kit Pass, at par with employees posted after 1.5.1976.
2. The matter has been examined in Board’s Office and it is hereby clarified that Railway employees who transport their luggage on transfer or on settlement after superannuation without availing of the facility of Kit Pass, irrespective of their date of joining the railway service, shall be entitled to the payment of Composite Transfer Grant without effecting any cut on the quantum thereof as per their entitlement, provided, other conditions for payment of this allowance are satisfied.
