The Fifth Central Pay Commission (CPC) in Chapter 87 of its report made specific recommendations in respect of officers and staff of Border Roads Organisation (BRO). However, there was no specific recommendation for upgradation of pay scale for diploma holder engineers of BRO. All the specific recommendations made by the 5th CPC in respect of BRO staff as accepted by the Government have already been implemented. There is therefore no question of any arrears being pending for payment to diploma holder engineers. The Sixth CPC recommended for upgradation and merger of the post of Overseer with promotional post of Superintendent BR-II and grant of pre-revised scale of Rs.5000-8000/- to the combined cadre retrospectively w.e.f. 1.1.1996 at least for the purpose of fixation of pay. Accordingly the benefit of notional fixation of pay in the pre-revised scale of Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f. 1.1.1996 and actual benefit of arrears w.e.f. 1.1.2006 has been granted to the diploma holder engineers of BRO.
