This will be subject to the condition that wherever the revised TRCA Level is linked to higher working hour than the existing working hour slab, the revised TRCA Level would be given prospective effect from the date working hours are revised and during the period from 1.1.2016, proportionate payment would be made, as proposed by Department of Posts.

(vii) As regards Welfare Benefits (Chapter 16), Department of Posts is advised to remove the para on welfare benefits from the proposal and take decision independent of the proposal for pay and allowances.
