Sir i have completed 4 yrs service as s assistant loco pilot. I would like to apply loan for my brother' marriage please let me how much amount am i eligible. My father is alive and my brother is major.

WHETHER PRIOR SANCTION OF COMPETENT AUTHORITY NECESSARY FOR WITHDRAWAL OF PF FOR THE PURPOSE OF BOOKING IMMOVABLE PROPERTY ie IS IT POSSIBLE TO WITHDRAW PF TO FACILITATE BOOKING PRIOR TO SANCTION IS GRANTED TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY?

In one of the zonal railway, personal branch is not even accepting the PF withdrawal form in the absence of sanction by competent authority for purchasing the apartment. As booking amount is to be paid immediately after finalizing the deal with the builder, it was tried to get some amount from PF balances but CPO of the railway did not agree and waiting for sanction of competent authority for purchase of the apartment. How far CPO is correct in handling the issue?  

As any other Railway Employee CPO is bound by the Railway Manuals and Codes. But as the Manuals and codes cannot possibly clarify on each and every detail of Railway working that comes across each officers are given powers to decide on various matters. These are based on Raiway Board instructions and further Zonal Railways divide the power of GM by the order of Delegation of Powers.

sir,

I have been selected (from Tech Gr-I) for JE through 25% LDCE quota and i have to undergo training for a period of 1 year, as per vacancies i am eligible for Sr,Technician(MCM). Before or during my training period should i be absorbed as Sr,Technician(MCM) or not,
