The Railway Board vide RBE No.90/2016 issued notification on 28th July 2016 on the basis of Ministry Of Finance (Department of Expenditure) Resolution No.1-2/2016-IC and Notification No.GSSR 721(E) dated 25th July 2016 for granting pay in the revised pay matrix to the Railway employees of various categories w.e.f 01-01-2016. Options have also been allowed to be exercised by the staff (in those cases of staff who have been promoted during the period from 01-01-2016 and the date of notification) for option for switching over to revised Pay Matrix to a later date.

In this connection, NFIR desires to convey that there are cases of Railway employees who have been granted promotion after the date of notification i.e. 25th & 28th July 2016, All these employees have been demanding that should be allowed to exercise option for revised Pay Matrix from the date subsequent to the date of Railway Board’s notification. Representations have also been received that such of those staff who have been promoted in between 01-01-2016 and 31-12-2016, be also given opportunity of exercising option for switching over to 7th CPC Pay Matrix.

The Federation is of the view that the staff representations as above are genuine and required to be considered favourably.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to consider the above points and accord approval, for providing option opportunity to those who got promotion in between 01-01-2016 to 31st December 2016.

Yours faithfully,
