I was working in Railway as
I was working in Railway as Head Clerk in grade 5000-8000 and tender voluntary retirement in April 2009. while working in Railway as on 01.02.2006, my pay was fixed in grade 9300-34800 in grade pay 4200. Since at the relevant time no pass revised entitlement was issued I got retired with facility of second class pass based on old entitlement.
Meanwhile after retirement the revised entitlement was issued by Railway Board, but my pass clerk refused to issue me first class stating that the entitlement is not issued for complimentary passes and hence will not issue first class.
Kindly help me how to obtain Ist class pass.
Thanks

All railway employees are
All railway employees are entitled for at least one set of 3 AC pass. Nowhere in the pass rules there is a division between 5 year completed and other employee with regard to pass class.
Now a babu in in your office reject the pass , you have to complain. Write your complaint in the Grievance register. Ask this Babu to show the rule which says that you are not eligible for 3 AC. New pass rules class of eligibility is based on GP , not on your length of service.
