Sub: Comparison of grades of running staff with those of stationary staff for the purpose of promotion/selection to Group ‘B’ posts.

Consequent upon implementation of scales of pay recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission, equivalence of grades of running staff with that of stationary staff for the purpose of promotion to the posts in stationary categories where both running and stationary staff are eligible and are considered together was advised in terms of Board’s letter number E (GP) 2005/2/87 dated 25.04.2011 (RBE No. 53/2011 ). However, taking cognizance of requests from various quarters including the Federations, a Committee was constituted to examine the issues arisen on account of implementation of these instructions. Now, taking note of the recommendations of the Committee, it has been decided that for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the candidates for promotion/Selection to Group ‘B’ posts, the grades of running staff may be equated with those of the stationary staff as indicated below:

Designation	Scale of Pay applicable (VI CPC)	Scale of stationary post to which should be equated (VI CPC)
Loco Pilot (Mail & Express)	PB2+GP Rs.4200 + 1000 addl. allowance	PB-2+GP Rs.4600
Loco Pilot (Passenger)	PB2+GP Rs.4200 + 500 addl. allowance	PB-2+GP Rs.4600
Loco Pilot (Goods)	PB2+GP Rs.4200	PB-2+GP Rs.4600
Loco Pilot (Shunting)I(NF)	PB2+GP Rs.4200	PB2+GP Rs.4200
Loco Pilot (Shunting)II	PB1+GP Rs.2400	PB2+GP Rs.4200
Sr.Asstt. Loco Pilot (NF) (80%)	PB1+GP Rs.2400	PB1+GP Rs.2400
Asstt. Loco Pilot	PB1+GP Rs.1900	PB1+GP Rs.2400
Mail/Express Guard	PB2+GP Rs.4200 + 500 addl. allowance	PB-2+GP Rs.4600
Sr.Passenger Guard	PB2+GP Rs.4200	PB-2+GP Rs.4600
Sr.Goods Guard (NF)	PB2+GP Rs.4200	PB2+GP Rs.4200
Goods Guard	PB1+GP Rs.2800	PB2+GP Rs.4200

3. It has further been decided that for equating running staff in the erstwhile scale of Rs.5500-9000 (now in PB2+ GP Rs.4200) with stationary staff in scale of Rs.6500-10500(now GP Rs.4600), the running staff in 'erstwhile scale of Rs.5000-8000 (now GP Rs.4200) shall be placed below running staff in erstwhile scale of Rs. Rs.5500-9000 (now in PB2+ GP Rs.4200).

4. Selection to Group ‘B’ posts which are already in progress may be proceeded with and finalised as per the existing principles. All fresh selections including those which have been initiated but where the written examination has not been held, should be held in accordance with the instructions contained herein. The LDCE, wherever the same is in force, is a part of the process of filling vacancies in Group ‘B’ and therefore, whatever is followed in the case of 70% Selection, may also be followed in the case of corresponding LDCE.
