MASTER CIRCULAR
Master Circular No. 56
Fixation of Pay - consolidation of instructions - issue of Master
Circular.
Part I
Part II
 
The instructions on the subject 'Fixation of pay' are contained in various circulars
issued from time to time and Indian Railway Establishment Code Vol II. The
question of issue of consolidated instructions has been engaging attention of the
Railway Board for some time and it has now been decided to issue such
instructions in the form of a Master Circular, for the information and guidance of all
concerned. Accordingly, the Master Circular annexed herewith, is in two parts—
Part I Fixation of pay under FRs and Part II - Fixation of pay, - under other orders.
2.    While referring to this circular, the original letters referred to therein should be
read for a proper appreciation. This Master Circular should not be treated as a
substitute for the originals. The original circular alone should be relied upon as
authority.
3.    The instructions contained in the original circulars referred to have only
prospective effect from the date of issue, unless stated otherwise specifically. For
dealing with old cases, the instructions in force at the relevant time should be
referred to; and
4.    If any circular on the subject which has not been superseded has lost sight of,
in preparing the consolidated instructions. It would continue to be treated as valid
and operative. Such a missing circular, if any, may be brought to the notice of the
Railway Board.
 
Pay fixation
1. (under FRs)
1. The basic rules governing initial fixation of pay of Railway servants in
different circumstances were Rule 1313 (FR-22), Rule 1316 (FR 22C) and Rule
1326 (FR 31) of Indian Railway Establishment Code Vol. II ( 1987 Edition). In
some cases, the pay fixed under any of these rules was further subjected to
Rule 1321 (FR 27) and Rule 1329 (FR 35) R.II.  Rule 1325 (FR 30) added a
general limitation on pay fixed in respect of appointment in an officiating
capacity.
2. Apart from these rules, separate orders of Railway Board also exist for initial
fixation of pay of a Railway servant in certain cases as for example (i)
fixation of pay on appointment to a selection Grade post, (ii) fixation of pay of
temporary Railway servants transferred from a higher to lower post and (iii)
fixation of pay of re-employed Civil and Military Pensioners etc. in Railway
Service.

3. FR 22 has been framed afresh by the Department of Personnel and Training
incorporating therein inter-alia the provisions of erstwhile FR 22-C and orders
issued from time to time. This new Rule has been adopted by the Ministry of
Railways and circulated vide letter No. F(E)II/89/FR-/1/1 dated 12.12.1991
(RBE 198/1991).
4. Provisions of the newly substituted FR 22 which govern the fixation of pay of
Government servants in general apply mutatis mutandis to Railway
employees. These are indicated below.
5. FR 22 (I)
5.1    Clause (a) (I) deals with fixation of pay of a Government servant
holding a Post other than a tenure post, in a substantive, temporary or
officiating capacity on promotion/ appointment in a substantive,

5.2    Clause (a) (2) deals with fixation of pay of Govt. servant on
appointments to the new post which does not Involve assumption of

post in a substantive, temporary or officiating capacity on transfer on
his own request to a post with the maximum of the time scale of that
post being lower than his pay in the post held by him on regular basis.
5.4    Clause (b) deals with fixation of pay of a Govt. servant when the
conditions stipulated in Clause (a) above are not fulfilled, such as on
first appointment in Government service etc.
