Dear Sir,
Sub: Need for restoration of discontinued Allowances — Daily Officiating Allowance to staff in Railways-reg.
Ref: (i) NFIR’s PNM Item No.13/2018.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2011/FE-4/1 dated 04/07/2016.
(iii) Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-201 1/FE-4/1 dated 05/09/2017.
(iv) NFIR’s letter No.I/5(g)/Part VI dated 13/10/2017 & 28/05/2019.
(v) Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2011/FE-4/1 (Pt.) dated 27/06/2019 addressed to GS/NFIR (together with copy of Railway Ministry’s O.M. dated 07/02/2019 to Ministry of Finance/Deptt., of Exp).
Federation invites kind attention of the Railway Board to its PNM Agenda Item No.13/2018 relating to “need for restoration of discontinued Allowances — Daily Officiating Allowance to staff in Railways” upon which it was conveyed to NFIR that O.M. dated 07/02/2019 has been sent to the Ministry of Finance (Deptt., of Exp), seeking concurrence. A period of nearly seven months has passed thereafter, unfortunately further progress in the matter is yet to be communicated to the Federation.
NFIR, therefore, once again requests the Railway Board to pursue the matter vigorously with the Ministry of Finance and also apprise the progress on the issue.
Yours faithfully
(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
