2. Consequent upon implementation of revised pay structure inter-alia involving merger of various pre-revised scales and comprising running Pay Bands & Grade Pay based on recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, a question has arisen regarding methodology for fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff on being posted/appointed against stationary posts. The matter has, accordingly, been considered by the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) and based on the recommendations of a Committee constituted for the purpose, it has been decided that while determining pay in Pay Band for the purpose of fixation of pay of medically unfit running staff in alternative (stationary) post, an amount equal to such percentage of basic pay (pay in Pay Band + Grade Pay) representing pay element of running allowance as may be in force from time to time may be added to the existing pay in Pay Band and the resultant figure (ignoring the fraction of rupee, if any) rounded off to the next multiple of 10, would be the pay in the pay Band in the alternative post with no change in the Grade Pay of substantive post, in suitable alternative post. An illustration in this regard is enclosed as Annexure-I.
