Reference: E(P&A)II-2001/FE-2/1 dt. 9-7-2002

Payment of Breach of Rest Allowance to Running Staff – PNM/NFIR Item No. 15/2001. It is advised that the instructions contained in Board’s letter No. E(S)I-59/RS/30 dt.26.11.60 are no longer in force. Vide Board’s letters No. E(P&A)II-72/RS-16 dt.15.11.72 and 21.2.73, it was stipulated that Breach of Rest Allowance would be payable to Running staff, if they are called upon to perform running duty before completion of 16 hours rest at headquarters provided it is immediately preceded by a full term of 8 hours or more of duty. It is further brought to your notice that in terms of the extant provisions contained in Rule 1511-R.II/1987 Edition, Breach of Rest Allowance is payable to the Running staff (other than those manning suburban services or on shunting duty) who work a train to an outstation and return to their headquarters and are detailed for running duty before completion of 16/12 hours rest at headquarters when the total period of duty immediately before the rest was for 8 hours or more/less than 8 hours, as the case may be. Thus, Breach of Rest Allowance now has no nexus with running duty.
