A brief on the nav elementand the rates of Running

Allowance for the running staff on the Indian Railwavs.

A:

Introduction.

1.
The RunningAllowanceCommittee-l980(RAC-1980)had recommendeda formula
for the calculationof the ratesof kilometreageallowancefor the running staff. This formula
was being used for the calculation of KMA by the Railway Board from 1981 till the
implementationof the Sixth CPC recommendations.However, this formula has not been
mentionedin the Running Allowance Rules- 1981 nor in the EstablishmentCodeAvlanual.
As per Rule 906 of IREM, Vol.I, (Annexure-I) the rates of Running Allowance for every
100km shall be as specifiedby the competentauthority from time to time. It meansthat the
mannerof calculationof the ratescanbe decidedby the competentauthority.
After successivepay commissionsand finally the Sixth CPC recommendationsthe
2.
formulaof RAC-1980had becomeimpracticaldueto erosionin the depressionof pay scales
of the running staff, new pay structure,widening of gap betweenearningsof running staff
vis-d-vis non-running staff etc. Therefore, the Railway Board after accepting the
of the official and the
recommendations
of a Joint Committee (Consistingof representatives
staff side)decidedto doublethe thenexistingratesof KMA/ ALK w.e.f. 01.09.2008.
The recognised/ un-recognisedfederations since then have been clamouring for
3.
revision of the ratesas per the RAC-1980 formula through letters,PNI\,I/JCMfora, National
Industrial Tribunal etc. A relatively detailed background is given in the successive
paragraphs.
B:

Background on the revision of running allowance.

1.
On the Indian Railways,thereis a categoryof staff known as "Running Staf?'ihose
performanceof duty is directly connectedwith the chargeof moving trains. Rules 3(iii)'
3(iv),3(v) and 3(xvi) of "The Rulesfor the paymentof Running and otherAllowancesto the
Runningstaff on Railways, 1981" stipulateasunder:"(iii) "Running duties" means duties directly connected with the
movementof trains and performedby running staff while employedon
moving trains or engines,including shuntingengines."
(iv) "Runni4g Staff' performing "running duties" shall refer to
Railway servantsof the categoriesmentionedbelow:

(xvi) (a) 66Stationary
under item (iv).
(b) ..Stationary duties" refers to duties performed other than
running dutiesspecifiedunderitem (iii) above."
2.
A special feature relating to running staff is that a portion of their emolumentsis
dependentupon the nature of duties performed and the quantum of work put in by them
during the month. The quantum of running allowance earned by the Running staff is
determinedmainly by the actualdistanceworked by them. The basic objective of theserules
is an orientationtowardsbetter performance,simultaneouslyensuringthat the running staff
are not preventedfrom earninga reasonableamountof running allowancein a month due to
factorsnot attributableto them. The highest scaleof pay admissiblein the cadreof running
staff to Mail/ExpressDrivers in the III CPC scalesof pay was { 550-750,the replacement
scaleof which in the IVth CPC and Vth CPC scalesof pay was { 1640-2900and { 6000scaleis t 9300-34800with
9800respectively.In the 6thCPC scalesof pay, the replacement
gradepay < 42001-.
3.
The scalesof pay applicableto the running staff are deemedto be depressedmeaning
therebythat had there beenno schemeof running allowances,the running staff would have
been allowed normal scalesof pay like the other railway employeesand would have been
eligible for TA/DA. As such,the running staff earn apart of their pay throughthe instrument
of running allowanceas running allowanceincludesa portion of the pay, traveling allowance
and out-of-pocketexpensesastheir dutiesgenerallyinvolve their absencefrom headquarters
and as TA/DA is not admissibleto them. The deemeddepressedportion of the pay is made
good by the provisionsof Rule 25 of the saidRules,which stipulatesas under:*25.

The underlyingprinciple of the pay componentof running allowanceis that, had there
8.
'A'
beenno schemeof runningallowancethe running staff in the scale< 550-750( Driver
Spl. during Third CPC) would have been allotted the scale of pay immediately below the
gradeapplicableto the highestgradeof SupervisorsnamelyLoco Foremani.e. { 840-1040
(during Third CPC) to whom they report. Accordingly, the scaleof pay which would have
been allotted to Drivers Grade 'A' Spl, but for the existenceof the running alloivance
scheme,can fairly be assumedto be { 700-900(during Third CPC). Thus pay scalesof
running staff were peggedat lower levels vis-a-vis non-runningstaff so that they get part of
their pay through running allowancewhich is relatedto working of trains. The differenceof
meanof both the scalesexpressedas a percentageof the meanof the notional scaleis called
the 'pay element'/'componentof pay' or omeasure
of depression'.
9.
The existing formula for calculating the quantum of KilometerageAllowance per
hundredkilometers,was devisedby RAC-1980,after detailedconsultationswith the labour
organisationsand taking into accountviews of the railway administration,based on huge
datacollectedfrom variousdivisions,and past studiesand reportsin this regard.The formula
for the rate of KMA per 100kms for a passengerdriver is asunder:* 100
30% of MeanPa]'+ 20 Da]'sTA/DA
5100(Averagekms earnedbypassengerdriver per month)
10. Any increaseof pay scalesof running staff vis-a-vis non-runningstaff would have to
be viewed taking into acbountthe principle of 'measureof depression'stated in para 2.6
above. However, while allotting the scalesto running staff 4tr and 5th Pay Commissions

overlookedthis aspect.They insteadrecommendeda review of Running Allowance Rules

---..
suchreview
due to increasein pay scalesof running staff vis-a-vis non-runningstaff. But no omeasure
of
was carried after the implementationof these Pay Commissions,though the
depression'continued to be eroded after 4thand 5tr pay commissionpay scales.Further
erosionoccurredat the time of mergerof 50YoDA as DP on 1.04.2004.The calculationsof
of depression'during Fourth,Fifth & Sixth CPCperiodsare given as under :

11. On account of the recommendations
non-revisionof the pay elementsince 1980,the gap betweenthe
Commissionand subsequent
emolumentsof other Group C staff and the Running staff is continuouslywidening. The ratio
of averageannualwagesof Group C Non running staff to Running staff has increasedfrom
dueto grantingof higherthan
1:1.16in 1980to l:1.69 in2004.After SixthPay Commission
'Additional
Allowance' ( on which DA is payable),
normalreplacementscales,provisionof
and special fitment tables used for running staff duly reckoning DA on pay element of
running allowance,the running staff have a distinct advantageover others in the Sixth Pay
Commissionpay structure.The gap hasthereforefurther widenedbetweenthe two categories
after Sixth Pay Commission.
12. Committee on Runnirre Allowances, constituted in 2002 (CRA-2002) which
revision of the 'pay element' in view of the
submitted its report in 2005, ,!"o--.nded
continuouserosion of depressionin the pay scalesof the running staff. It recommended
to 20%o
lowering of the pay elernentfrom 30o/oto l|Yo for in-servicebenefitsand from 55%o
vehemently
for retirementbenefits. However,the Federationsopposedthe recommendations
and the railway administrationcould not implementthe report in view of the sensitivenature
of dutiesperformedby the running staff and alsoto ensurepeacefulindustrialrelations.

'-'

13. After the implementationof Sixth Pay Commission number of pay scales were
amalgamatedinto four pay bands in consonancewith the generalprincipie of de-layering
adoptedby the Pay-Commissionfor all categoriesof central governmentemployees.Th;
conceptof meanpay in the existing formula had beenrenderedimpracticableas the revised
pay band is not a singlescalebut analgamationof severalscalesof pay.
14: Railway Board,thus,constituteda Joint Committee in November2008, comprising
officers of Railway Board, and representativesfrom the two recognizedFederationsiAIRF
& NFIR), to determinethe quantumof pay elementin running allowanceand to review the
formula for computing rates of kilometerageallowance.
15.
The Joint Committee after in depth deliberations(report of the Joint Committee
enclosedas Annexure-Il) felt that the conceptof meanpay of pasr.ttg.. driver as existing in
the extantformula was renderedimpracticableas pay band was not a single scaleof pay-but
amalgamation
of severalscalesof pay.

16. The Joint Committeealso observedthat therewas a needto review 'pay element' for
serving employeesas well as the componentof basic pay to be countedur puy for retiring
runningstaff in the revisedpay structurew.e.f. 1.1.06i.e. from the dateof implementationoT
the SixthPay CommissionReport.
17. The Joint Committeefurther observedthat the Sixth CentralPay Commissionscales
of pay have been implementedw.e.f. I.L2006 wherein higher than normal replacement
scaleshave beengrantedto the running staff,justiffing reductionin the opayelemurt'. Nonreductionin the pay elementw.e.f. 1.1.1986andthereafterw.e.f. I J.1996 hasresultedin the
running staff receivinghigherpay packages.
18'
The Joint Committee also noted that reduction in the 'pay elementomay not be
possible now, in view of the sentimentsexpressedvociferorrriy-by
the Staff pide anO
particularly due to multiplication of the .urii., decisions for non-ieduction
ir the pay
element. The ratio betweenaveragewage of non-running staff vis-d-vis average
wage of.
runningstaff has significantlychangedfrom 1980-81at the stageof 1.00: 1.16
and 1.00and
l'69 in 2003-04. With the Sixth Central Pay Commission'sscalesof pay having
been
implemented,this, gap betweenthe running and the non-runningstaff has
further widened.
19'
The Joint Committee also noted that the depressionof pay has been eroded
after
implementation of the Fourth Central Pay Commission's as also the Fifth
Central pay
Commission'sscaleof pay. Non-reductionin the 'pay element'would further inflate
the pay
packageof the runnin$staff as a result of which the running staff
would receivemuch higher
emolumentsthanjustified, and in many casewould also exceedthat admissible
to GroupaA'
officers.
20'
The Sixth Pay Commissionhad recommendedthat various allowances should
be
doubled thus the Joint Committee felt that this recommendation of
the Sixth pay
Commissionshould also be followed in respectof rate for kilometerage
allowance. Thus
keeping in view the general recommendationsof the Sixth pay Commission
regarding
doubling of allowance, recommendations of the Joint Committee
which included

'-

representativesof recognizedfederationsalsowere acceptedby Railway Board, and the

formula of RAC-1980was not adoptedfor revising the rates of KMA.
21. The revisedratesof KMA weremadeapplicablew.e.f. 01.09.2008(Annexare-Ill) as
all other allowanceswere revised from this date after implementationof Sixth CPC pay
structure.
22. The pay elementwhich was necessitatedearlier due to depressionin scalesof pay of
running staff was also consideredby the Joint Committee. The Joint Committeenoted that
the depressionin pay of Running Staff erodedafter revisions of pay by the Fourth & Fifth
Pay Commissionsand mergerof 50YoDearnessAllowancewith pay w.e.f- 01.04.2004.But
consideringthe sentimentsof the Running Stafi the pay element of 30%ofor in-service
benefits and 55%ofor retirementbenefits was continuedon recommendationsof the Joint
Committee.
23. Keeping in view the persistentdemandsof the running staff Railway Board again
constituteda Fast Track Committee ( report at Annexure-IV), comprisingof 6 Executive
Directors, in20l0,to look into the various issuesof running staff, including the Motormen,
pertainingto rbvision of running allowance,increasein pay scales,additional allowanceto
running staff over and above those recommended by Sixth Pay Commission, and
applicability of running allowancefrom 1.1.06basedon revisedrate of running allowance.
The committee after in depth deliberationsand after taking into accountthe views of the
organisedand un-organisedlabourinter-aliaconcludedthat :
"No change is calledfor in respectof doubling of this allowancefrom
1.9.08 as was recommended by the Joint Committee. The
recommendationsof the committee,aS approved by Board, concluded
that thepay elementand rates of running allowancewere consideredby
the Joint Committeeas a package while making its recommendations.
Any review of rates of allowance may thus call for a review of pay
elementas weII."
24. However, consideringthe persistentdemandsof the Federations,Board decidedthat
the ratesof KMA/ALK shouldbe increasedby25% with effectfrom 01.01.201I subsequent
to increasein DA by 50%. Orders to this effect were issued vide Board's letter no.
E(P&A)IV2005/RS-34 dt. 28.06.2012 (Annexur e-V).
25. In the meanwhile, both the recognized federations as well as running staff
associationslike AILRSA were raising their pitch in various fora like JCM/PNM and also
National Industrial Tribunal/CGIT,for revising the ratesof KMA/ALK basedon the formula
definedby the RAC-1980. In view of this Chairman,Railway Board orderedto constitutean
empoweredcommitteeto frnalize a mechanismfor a new formula for running allowance.
The termsof referenceof the EmpoweredCommitteeis as given below :
(i)

Determinethe quantumof pay elementin RunningAllowance; and

(ii)

Review the existing formula for calculation of rates of running allowance and
evolve a new formula.

- 26.
Accordingly, Railway Board vide order no. ERB-Il20I3l23ll6 dated 25.03.2013
(Annexure-W) had constitutedan EmpoweredCommittee. . The Committee consistsof
EDPC-I (Convener), EDME (Tr.), EDEE(RS), EDTT(F) and EDF(E). However, the
recognizedFederationsand the running staff associationshave been demandingdissolution
of the Committee. Consideringthis the Railway Board has decided that the Empowered
Committeeconstitutedto review the formula for calculationof running allowancemay be
kept in abeyancetill suchtime the recommendationsof 7th CPC are receivedand that after
the report of the 7th CPC is received,the needfor having a Committeemay be considered.
27.

Hence,the matteris being referredto the 7thCPC.

nefitsof runnins staff on the I@

Additional Allowance of {1000/- p.m. to Loco Pilot (Mail) and of ( 5001 p.m. to
1.
Loco pilot (passenger)and Mail Guard was introducedon the specific recommendationsof
the 6ft CPi containedin Para7.36.50of their report. The basic criteria for gtarfi of this
allowanceis the more onerousnatureof work as well as processof selectioninvolved. The
6ft CPC had recommendedthat DearnessAllowance shall be payableon this allowance.As
such additional allowancedoes not have any additive value for computationof retirement
benefitsof the concemedcategoriesof running staff.
of the 6thCPC containedin Para7.36.50of their report is as
2.
The recommendations
follows:"On accountof more onerousnature of work as well as processof selection
involved, Loco Pilots for passengertrains shall be given an additional
allowanceof { 500/-p.m. Loco Pilot for Mail/Expresstrainswill be given this
allowanceat the rate of { 1000/-p.m. DearnessAllowanceshall be payable
on this'allowance. The existing parity with cadre of Guards, for other
allowanbeslike running allowance,may also be retained in respect of this
allowancewhich is being recommendedfor the first time."
Based on the above recommendationsof the 6th CPC, the Additional Allowance to
3.
Loco Pilot (Mail), Loco Pilot (Passenger)and Mail Guard has been introduced on the
(Annexure-I). One of
dt. 11.09.2008
Railwaysvide iloard's letterNo. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/I
the zonal railways had soughtclarification regardingreckoning of additional allowancefor
the purposeof computationof retirementbenefits. The Ministry of Railways clarified to all
the zonalrailwaysthat additionalallowanceis not to be taken into accountfor the purposeof
computationof retirementbenefits of the running staff, vide Board's letter no. E(P&A)II.
"
(Annexure-Il).
2008/RS-31dt.4.3.2009
4.
However, the Federationshave consistentlybeing demandingthrough the fora of
PNM and JCM that Additional Allowance should be consideredas pay for all purposes
including computationof RetirementBenefits. Therefore,it was decidedto refer the caseto
the Ministry of Finance. In this regard,an OM no. E(P&A)II-2008/RS-31dt. 19.10.2010
(Annexure-Ill) was sentto the Ministry of Finance. Ministry of Financevide their OM no.
99lBVl20ll dt. I1.0420t1 and OM no. 70lBVl20l1 dt. 23.08.2011(Annexure-Iv & V)
have categoricallyclarified that additionalallowancewould not be reckonedfor the purpose
of calculation of pensionarybenefits of the categoriesof running staff eligible for this
allowance.
5.
In spite of conveyingthe clarification given by the Ministry of Financein this regard
the Federationswere not relenting in their demand. Subsequently,in the fora of DC/JCM fi
and PNM, it was decided that the matter may be referred to the Seventh CPC for their [\
lli
recommendations
on it. Hence,the matteris being referredto 7thCPC.

Brief on revision of Breakdown Allowance (BDA)

sranted to eligible Breakdown Staff on the Indian

Railwavs.
1.
The provisions on BDA are contained in Rule 1420 of the Indian Railway
EstablishmentCode Volume-Il (1987). A Copy of Rule 1420-IREC-II is enclosedas
Annexure-I.
1.2 BDA was admissibleon the railways during the pre-Independence
era, however, it
was discontinuedin 1947as no justification was found for giving this additionalbenefit. On
the demand from the railway administrations"it was reintroducedin 1953 and it is still
admissible.
1.3 The intention behind grarfi of BDA is for getting earmarkedmen to turn out
immediatelyon receiptof the breakdowncall evenat the cost of their leisuretimes. It is thus
a kind of a 'retainer feet for restrictionon free utilization of leisurehours of the earmarked
staff. Besides,other concessionslike supply of food/cashin lieu of food , TA/DA, OT and
quarteron priority are also availableto suchearmarkedemployee.
1.4 The earmarkedstaff perform breakdownduties only at the time of a breakdown. If,
fortunately, there is no breakdownthe earmarkedstaff are not required to perform such
duties. This BDA is subject to review by the controlling officer in the event of a staff
member failing to report for breakdownduty within the stipulatedtime. However, as per
Rule 1420 (t)(D(a) of IREC-IUI987 BreakdownAllowance is treated as compensatory
allowancefor all purposes.
1.5 It is also worth mentioningthat for breakdownduties,staff otherthan earmarkedstaff
are also called to attendto breakdownduties. The dutiesperformedby the earmarkedstaff
are same as those performed by the staff who are not earmarkedbut are conscriptedfor
breakdownduties.
1.6 Sincethe reintroductionof BDA in 1953the rateshave been revisedsix times till
date. A table showing the revision of the rates of BDA and the trend in the revision of the
ratesof BDA in the past is shownin Annexure-Il.
2.
After the recommendationof the Sixth CPC a Committeeof five SAG level officers
was constitutedto recor4lrnend
on the revision of ratesof BDA. The Committeenoted that
the Sixth CPC did not make any specific recommendationsin respectof BDA in its report,
but in its para 4.2.8I, the Commissionmade a generalrecommendation
that the rates of
allowancespecific to different Ministries/Deptts./Organizationsnot coveredin their report
shouldbe doubled. The Commissionfurther recommendedthat the ratesof suchallowances
shouldbe increasedby 25%6everytime the DA payableon revisedpay scalesgoesup by
50Yoandtheserecommendations
were acceptedby the Govemment.
2.I
Therefore,basedon the recommendations
of Sixth CPC,the Committeeof five EDs
recomrnel]ded(Annexure-Il| that the ratesof BDA may alsobe doubledand be increasedby

'Break-down
With reference to above, the following requirement regarding
Allowance'may be consideredfor submissionto the pay commissionon item no. 9.1 of
the questionnaire(Allowances):
1.0The nominatedbreakdownstaff for accompanyingthe Accident ReliefTrain (ART)
forms a core team for handlingrescue and restorationoperationsat an accident
site.
jsbs. Consideringthe importanceof their job and the criticalityof devotionrequired
the same, these officialshave historicallybeen given incentivesso
?6-1-executing
that the most co"mpetentstaff comes forward for these duties. Incentiveshave
included, among other things, breakdown allowance, priority in allotment of
quarters, supply of free feed during the period of breakdown duties, payment of
overtime, payh-entof full DA without restrictionsetc. With the changing economic_
scenario and reduction in the number of accidents, the present structure of
incentives has become grossly inadequate to attract the most suitable staff for
breakdownduties.
2.0 Subsequentto the implementationof the 6th Pay commission,a committeeof JS
level officers was constituted in Ministry of Railway to review the breakdown
allowanceconsideringits importance.Further,a committeeof AdditionalSecretary
level officers was constituted to review the report of first committee' This
committee,while giving its recommendationsnoted that'there is considerable
merit in the arg-umeintthat with reduction in number of accidents, the
payment of overtime and DA to ART (breakdown) staff haq become
inSgnificant as compared to total emoluments of railway serYant." lt further
note-dthat ,,it is in thl interest of Railways to have sufficient pool of willing,
efficient and hard working stafi who are ready to volunteer for arduous duty
of breakdown and for thiJpayment of a sufficient allowance would not be out
of place. However, in view of the stipulationsof the 6h Pay Commission,the
Committeerecommendedto double the breakdownallowancelike any other' The
+
aflowancethus doubled is as under, which works out to less that 1o/oof basic
grade pay, which is pattrysum in the cunent scenano.
