Reckoning of Non-practicing Allowances(NPA) payable to Medical Officers - for the purpose of computation of TA entitlements including Composite Transport Grant

 

Some  Railways  have sought clarification  whether  the non-practicing  allowance admissible to Railway Doctors is to  be  taken into account for determining the TA entitlements (including Composite Transfer Grant).

       

In  this  connection attention is  invited  to  Board's letter No.PC-V/97/1/7/15 dated 13.4.98, which stipulates that NPA is  to be reckoned as pay for all service benefits.   Accordingly  NPA  is also to be added to the basic pay of the Railway  Doctors for computing their  TA entitlements (including Composite  Transfer Grant). subject to the prescribed ceiling of Rs.29,500/-
