Pay and Allowances for Railway Employees
- Even though Railway Board has powers to make the policy decisions independently remuneration Policy of Railways of Railways has been based on the remuneration policy of the Government of India.
- Thus the salary and Allowances of Railwaymen are on par with Central Government employees revised from time to time on the lines of the recommendations of Central Pay Commissions.
- So far six Central Pay Commissions have been formed from 1946.
- Cost of Living index has been one of the factors considered while fixing the wages by successive Pay Commissions.
- Salary of a Railway employee consists of Pay and Allowances.
- Allowances are calculated based on the pay and these allowances are meant to offset the raising cost of living/special conditions necessitating some special allowances.
- Besides Productivity Linked Bonus is paid every year even though Indian Railways are not covered by the provisions of Payment of Bonus Act 1956.

I have joined as Tr. Junior
I have joined as Tr. Junior Engg on 20-03-2009 having pay 11360. In that time expected duration of our training period was 18 months. Then as per special order of GM for curtailment of training, I was absorbed as junior engineer within 12 months on 01-04-2010. In that time my basic was fixed 13500. And I was given the first increment on October-2010 i.e. after 18 months. I want to focus on the matter that I was given the first increment after 18 months from the date of my joining. But as per the latest circular of the finance ministry, I think,I should get increment on 20-03-2010 and on 01-07-2010 ,instead of only October-10. Please suggest me what i should do. I will be very greatfull if you meintion the exact rules.
Rule 302 of IR Establishment
Rule 302 of IR Establishment Manual says:
" In case the training period of a direct recruit is curtailed in the exigencies of service, the date of joining the working post in case of such a direct recruit shall be the date he would have normally come to a working post after completion of the prescribed period of training."
Sofixation of pay will be done on completion of 18 months. You should have been given first increment on July 2010 based on GP 2800 and Should have refixed again in October 2010 on the basis of GP 4200.
