Sub: Revision of designations of erstwhile Group D staff- suggestions.

   6th CPC in para 2.2.9 of its report has recommended that all the present employees belonging to Group D who possess the prescribed qualifications for entry level in in Group ‘C’ will be placed in Group ‘C’ running pay band w.e.f 1.1.2006. Other Group D employees, who do not possess the prescribed qualifications, are to be retrained and thereafter upgraded and placed in Group ‘C’ running pay band. Further, in para 3.7.9 of 6th CPC’s report, it has also been mentioned that the job description of the Group D posts so upgraded and placed in Group C shall also be revised and re-defined with emphasis on multi-skilling so that a single employee is able to perform various jobs (Annexure-A).

   Further, while issuing model recruitment rules for the erstwhile Group D staff, DoP&T in their OM dated 30-04-2010 has stated that designation of Multi-skilling staff may be adopted for some common categories of posts. For other categories of posts, a single designation for posts whose duties are similar in nature and where the officials can easily be switched from one-task to another may be adopted. (Annexure-B)

   Since all the pre-revised scale of Group D staff (` 2550-3200, 2610-3540 & 2650-4000) have been merged and placed in a single revised pay structure PB-I, Grade Pay ` 1800 corresponding to pre-revised scale of ` 2750-4400, revised designations for these staff on the Zonal Railways are to be issued in consonance with the recommendations of the 6th CPC.

   A list of existing standard designations of erstwhile Group D staff of Operating department as available in Railway board is enclosed (Annexure-C). There is a likely hood of certain other non-standard designations in operation on the Zonal Railways.

Zonal railways may examine and suggest

   i. Specific categories of erstwhile Group D staff which can be grouped together/broad banded for the purpose of multi-skilling and suggest revised designations for them

   ii. Categories of erstwhile Group D staff where multi-skilling is not feasible, indicating reasons for the same along with the proposed revised designations for such staff.

   The above details may be sent latest by 31st January, 2013.
