Washing Allowance to Safaiwalas working in Railway colonies

1.           Arising out of a Demand raised in the DC/JCM meeting, the issue regarding grant of Washing Allowance to Safaiwalas working in Railway colonies was under consideration of the Board for some time past.  It has now been decided by the Board to extend the benefit of Washing Allowance to the category of Safaiwalas working in Railway colonies @ .60/- per month. 

2.         The rate of this allowance would be increased by 25% whenever the Dearness Allowance payable on the revised pay scales goes up by 50%.

3.         This will be effective from the date of issue of this order.
