SOUTH CENTRAL RAILWAY Headquarters Office Personnel Branch Secunderabad. No. P[R]227/XVII Date: »%.06.2018 ALL CONCERNED PERSONNEL BRANCH SERIAL CIRCULAR No. !!]_/2018 Sub: Withholding of increment under RS[D&A] Rules, 1968 केसे ले के Copy of this Railway’s letter dated 10.05.2016 on the above subject together with Board’s reply thereto given under their letter No. E[D&A]/2016/RG6-10 dated 06.11.2017 addressed to GS/AIRF and copied to this Railway, is forwarded for information, guidance and necessary action. Ws Vesta a दे Vi KUMAR] Secy. to PCPO For Principal Chief Personnel Officer Copy of this office letter No. P[R] /227/XVII dated :10.05.2016 Sub: Withholding of increment under RS[D&A] Rules, 1968 Rule 1318 of IREC stipulates that when the increment is withheld for a specified period as a measure of penalty, the increment should be drawn from the date from which the penalty imposed ceases to operate. The subsequent increment shall however be admitted/ drawn from the first of the month in which they fall due under normal rules, the period of dies-non like break in service etc. being treated in the same way as leave without pay. Attention is also invited to Master Circular No. 66 circulated under Board’s letter dated 19.10.2001 on Penalties and Disciplinary Authorities. According to the illustrations below para 16 of the above M.C., where the penalty of withholding of increment for two or more years is imposed, the pay remains static at that stage without further increments till the penalty ceases to operate. In the case of withholding of increments [non-recurring] all the increments withheld are released along with the increment which becomes due after the expiry of the penalty whereas in the case of withholding of increment with recurring effect, increments withheld are not released, only the increment which becomes due on expiry of the penalty is granted. The organized labour [SCRMU] have pointed out in the PNM meeting held at the zonal level that an employee who is imposed punishment of withholding of one increment for a period of 3 years is not granted increments for the entire period of 3 years of punishment. The intention of the DA is that only the first year increment for three years is to be withheld with reference to the gravity of the offence. But in effect, the second and third subsequent years’ increments for two years and one year respectively, are also withheld, resulting in the employee suffering double the punishment than intended by the DA, which is also in contravention to the provision contained in Rule 1318 of IREC, supra. wal S. It was explained that where withholding of increment for two or more years is imposed under RS[D&A] Rules, the employee is not eligible to draw subsequent increments as clearly enumerated in the illustration given in M.C.66. Since Rule 1318 envisages that the subsequent increment shall however be admitted/drawn from the first of the month in which they fall due under normal rules, the period of dies-non like break in service etc. being treated in the same way as leave without pay and since there is a point in their argument, it was agreed to refer the matter to Board for clarification. - In view of the foregoing, Board are requested to kindly examine and advise in the matter early. दे... कक Copy of Board’s letter No.E[D&A]/2016/RG6-10 dated 06.11.2017 Sub: Item No.25/2016 of PNM/AIRF meeting held on 16.06.2017 The undersigned is directed to refer to the minutes of the PNM/AIRF meeting held on 16.06.2017, with reference to item 25/2016 and to state that the demand made by the Federation cannot be accepted as it is not in conformity with the statutory provision of Rule 6[iv] of Railway Servants [Discipline & Appeal] Rules, 1968. Also, the next increment of a railway servant undergoing the penalty of withholding of increment, would become due only after the earlier increment is availed. Since, in such case, the railway servant does not draw the earlier increment [
