The method of fixation of pay of State Government Servants on appointment to posts under the administrative control of Ministry of Railways has been spelt out in Board’s letter No.E(P&A)-II-2001/PP-7 dated 02.08.2001. The question of fixation of pay in such cases consequent upon revision of pay scales on acceptance of the recommendations of the VIth Central Pay Commission in the revised pay structure has been considered by the Government and the president is pleased to decide that in the cases of State Government Employees appointed to post under the administrative control of the Ministry of Railways on or after 01-01-2006, pay will be fixed in the following manner:-

(a) Where the State Government has revised the pay scales of their employees on the pattern of VIth Central Pay Commission at the base index of 115.76 as per AICPI(IW) 2001 series w.e.f 1.1.2006 the pay of these state Government employees on their appointment to the posts under the administrative control of Ministry of Railways would be fixed as follows:

(i) When the appointment is to a post carrying higher Grade Pay, one increment equal to 3% of the sum of the pay in the existing grade pay will be computed and rounded off to the next multiple of 10. This will then be added to the existing pay in the pay band. The grade pay corresponding to the higher post will thereafter be granted in addition to this pay in the pay band. In cases where the appointment involvess change in pay band also, the same methodology will be followed. However, if the pay in the pay band after adding the increment is less than the minimum of the higher pay band to which the appointment is taking place, pay in the pay band will be stepped up to such minimum.

(ii) where the appointment is to a post involving identical Grade pay, the individual shall continue to draw the same pay.

(b) where the state government have revised the pay scales of their employees after 1.1.2006 beyond the base index of 115.76 as per AICPI(IW) 2001 series, basic pay of these employees is to determined first in the scale applicable on Railways by reducing the element of DA,ADA,IR etc. Granted by the state Government after 1.1.2006 (beyond the base index of 115.76 as per AICPI (IW) 2001 Series) and thereafter the pay would be fixed as provided in the clause (i) & (ii) under sub-para (a) above.

(c) where the state Government have either not revised or revised the pay scale of their employees on or after 1.1.2006 below the base index of 115.76 as per AICPI(IW) 2001 Series, basic pay of these employees shall be determined first in the scale applicable on Railways, by adding the element of DA,ADA upto base index of 115.76 as per AICPI(IW) 2001 series, granted by the state Government and thereafter their pay would be fixed as provided in the clause (i) & (ii) under sub-para (a) above.
