 FIXATION OF INITIAL PAY

(i) The pay in the pay band/pay scale will be

determined by multiplying the existing basic
pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and
rounding off the resultant figure to the next
multiple of 10.

(ii) If the minimum of the revised pay band /pay

scale is more than the amount arrived at as per
(i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the
minimum of the revised band/pay scale.
Provided further that :

Where, in the fixation of pay, the pay of Railway

Servants drawing pay at two or more consecutive
stages in an existing scale gets bunched, that is to
say, gets fixed in the revised play structure at the
same stage in the pay band, then, for every two
stages so bunched, benefit of one increment shall
be given so as to avoid bunching of more than two
stages in the revised running pay bands. For this
purpose, the increment will be calculated on the pay
in the pay band. Grade pay would not be taken into
account for the purpose of granting increments to
alleviate bunching.
If by stepping up of the pay as above, the pay
of a Railway servant gets fixed at a stage in
the revised pay band/pay scale(where
applicable) which is higher than the stage in
the revised pay band at which the pay of a
Railway servant who was drawing pay at the
next higher stage or stages in the same
existing scale is fixed, the pay of the latter
shall also be stepped up only to the extent by
which it falls short of that of the former.
(iii) The pay in the pay band will be
determined in the above manner. In addition
to the pay in the pay band , Grade Pay
corresponding to the existing scale will be
payable.
