Sub: Applicability of Old Pension Scheme to substitutes who attained temporary status prior to 01/01 12004 and regularised after 01/01/2004 – clarification.
Ref: (i) GS/NFIR’s letters No.II/16 dated 9th October 2012. 04/10/2013 & 31/03/2014
(ii) GS/NFIR’s letter No. II/16 dated 4/10/2013 addressed to Secretary, Ministry of Finance, New Delhi and copy endorsed to the AM/Staff, Railway Board.
(iii) NFIR’s PNM item No. 15/2011.
In continuation to the above cited references, the Federation desires to convey that the Ministry of Finance has since given clearance. (as informed by the E.D/FE. Railway Board, during discussions) for applying liberalized pension scheme to those substitutes who attained temporary status prior to 01/01/2004 but, however, got regular absorption subsequent to 01/01/2004 with continuous service.
With this clarification of MoF, those substitutes who attained temporary status prior to 01/01/2004 and later on absorbed as regular staff will get covered under the Old Pension Scheme i.e. Liberalized Pension Scheme. Railway Board is processing the case for issuing orders. This is NFIR/PNM item being pursued by Federation since the year 2011.
