Indian Railway Services Pension Rules

Railway Services  (Pension) Rules -1993

PART – I

(i) Railway Services (Pension) Rules

PART – II

(ii) Railway Services (Commutation of Pension) Rules

PART - III

 (iii) Railway Services (Extraordinary Pension) Rules

PREFACE

Pension Rules as applicable to Railway Servants are presently contained in the Manual of Railway Pension Rules, 1950 and Indian Railway Establishment Code Volume-II (1971 edition). While the Establishment Code was up-dated in the year 1987, the Chapters therein on Pension Rules, Commutation of Pension Rules and Extraordinary Pension Rules were not taken up for revision as it was intended to bring out a separate self contained volume on Railway Pension Rules incorporating the vast changes in the rules and a large number of executive instructions on the subject issued ever since the Establishment Code was last brought out in 1971. Similarly, the Manual of Railway Pension Rules, which actually is meant for the guidance of staff dealing with pension work, was last reprinted in the year 1969 incorporating corrections up to 1st September, 1969. 

The present volume is thus, a self-contained compilation codifying all the Pension Rules applicable to Railway Servants in the form of statutory rules, on the pattern of Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 applicable on the civil side. 

Titled broadly as "Railway Services (Pension) Rules", 1993, the compilation actually embodies the existing rules in three parts namely (i) Railway Services (Pension) Rules (ii) Railway Services (Commutation of Pension) Rules, and (iii) Railway Services (Extraordinary Pension) Rules so that the three separate sets of rules are available in one volume to the advantage of particularly the Railway Personnel dealing with pension cases and settlement of Railway Staff over the vast stretch of Indian Railways. 

The provisions contained in the present book of "Railway Services (Pension) Rules", 1993 are issued by the President of India in exercise of the powers conferred on him by the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution   of India.   These supersede all the rules and orders on the subject prevailing hitherto. 

In accordance with the Government of India's policy, this volume has been printed in diglot edition. 

The Railway Board will be glad to consider any suggestion from the Railway Administrations.

Now my mother is getting family pension in POST OFFICE, we have only one PPO issued in 1991, no revised PPO has been received so far. As many times it happens that my mother receives lesser amount as pension then she receives every month, on confirming it from they are asking us to provide revised PPO& pre 2016 revision, how can we get that and from where do we get. 

Thanks & Regards

Sir

I am writing this on behalf of my brother who served as Head Clerk before seeking voluntary retirement in 1999 after 23 years of service in Railways. He is yet to get the benefit of Seventh Pay Commission. He is suffering from sever illness due to diabetes and kidney diseases. He can not come in person to know the status of revision of his pension which is the sole source of his income. Will some one clarify whom to approach?

Dear Sir,

As per the 7th Pay commission my basic pension was revised to Rs.24,500.00 Per month i.e. from 1st Jan 2016. But as per the pension slips records only since 1st May 2018 I have got this revised basic pension.

Hence I would request you to kindly release my pending arrears from 1st Jan 2016 till April 2018 at the earliest.

Also would appreciate if you can kindly issue me the hard copy of current PPO for my records & Income Tax purpose.

Looking forward your prompt action.

Thanks

Regards

My friend has worked in government of Maharashtra from 23-07-2003 to 17-12-2007. He was under pension rule in the state government. He has joined railway through proper channel tendering technical resignation. He has been placed under NPS in railway. Now, he has applied for continuance of old pension scheme and counting old service. But, he has withdrawn his GPF amount of  the state government, will his service be counted in railway? If there is any rule regarding repayment of his state government GPF with Interest in railway?

Sir,

I am Prabhjot singh Bhatti took technical retirement from Railways and took absorption in DFCCIL. At the time of Retirement in 2012 RELHS amount of One month basic pay was got deposited by the Construction organisation in the year 2012 on 20 19 Sept. Through settlement, on receipt of PPO I noticed one month basic again was deducted by Division office. On correspondence they replied that Constrution organisation cannot deduct this amount being Ex-Cadre organisation. Since then I was running after to get it clear, finally on 04.02.2020, I have been rrefunded back the one month pay.

My question is, due to negligence in discharging duties construction organisation refunded the amount without any interest, How i can claim this amount @PF interest.

Please suggest me the proper path and rules.
