Reference instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number dated 03.03.2009 under which the rates of honorarium payable to the Railway officers / staff for setting of question papers and evaluation of answer sheets for Limited Departmental Competitive Examination held for promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ have been enhanced. In this regard, clarification has been sought by one of the Railways as to whether the rates of honorarium prescribed for the LDCE are also applicable for examination held for promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’ to fill up 70% vacancies through General Selection. The matter has been examined and it is clarified that the rates of honorarium laid down in Board’s letter cited above are applicable for both the LDCE to fill up 30% vacancies and the General Selection to fill up 70% vacancies by promotion from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘B’.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
This also disposes of W.C. Railway’s letter No. WCR/PHQ/Confdl/Honorarium dated 20.01.09.
