Entitlement of pass facilities under ACPS – Clarification regarding . In terms of para 6 of Annexure 1 of Board’s letter referred to above, financial upgradations are personal to the incumbents but shall entitle the employee to certain benefits including privilege and other passes. Railway servant who has been given financial upgradation shall continue to hold the old designation and the financial upgradation does not confer any status of the higher scale. Hence the benefit of passes corresponding to the higher scale of pay granted under ACP Scheme will be available to the employee. However, the benefits related to higher status inherent in the higher pay scales is not available to the employee. In other words, status of Group ‘C’ and Group ‘D’ employees shall remain the same irrespective of financial upgradation and hence Group ‘D’ employees shall continue to get second class pass irrespective of financial upgradation given in Group ‘C’ scale. Similarly, Group ‘C’ employees do not become gazetted Railway employees on the basis of financial upgradation given in Group ‘B’ / Group ‘A’ scale under the ACP Scheme, and hence shall continue to get 3 sets of privilege passes per year and corresponding scale of post retirement passes. However, a Group ‘C’ employee, on financial upgradation may become eligible for 1 st class pass on the basis of his revised basic pay after financial upgradation.
