Yardsticks for creation of HAG posts will be as under : (a) For Civil Engg. Department, An HAG Officer will be provided for an outlay of Rs. 231 Crores for year 2005-06. However, the second and subsequent posts of HAG will not be created in a railway merely on the basis of outlay unless required due to specific administrative requirements of a project or concentration of works in a particular area. (b) For the Accounts department, the yardstick for HAG post for year 2005-06 will be Rs. 577.5 Crores or one of the SAG posts may be operated in HAG provided minimum three SAG posts are admissible. However, for the units where there are three posts of CAOs, provision of 2 HAG posts for Accounts department is permissible irrespective of no. of admissible SAG posts. Similarly, units which are headed by GMs, one of the SAG posts may be operated in HAG, even if, the no. of admissible posts in SAG are two. (c) For HAG posts of other departments, no separate yardsticks are being Prescribed. The existing practice of operation of one post in HAG out of three or more admissible posts of SAG will continue. 4. Incase of BOT/BOLT Projects, for determining SA grade and JA Grade posts, 100% of the likely outlay during the year in the Project may be taken into account. For posts in Jr. Scale and Sr. Scale, 50% of the outlay may be taken into account. Operation of the posts should be strictly need based. All other conditions in Board’s letter no. F(E)V/95/Misc./Yardstick/5 dated 13.10.95 will remain unchanged for BOLT/BOT Schemes. 5. The yardsticks indicated above are in terms of the annual gross Outlay for all the departments except for Stores Department. In case of Stores Department, the yardsticks are in terms of the Weighted Annual Outlay :- Weighted outlay for Stores Deptt. (Con.) of a Railway = (Outlay for M&P - Cost of M&P procured through COFMOW) + (Outlay for S&T, Electrical & RE - Cost of materials procured by S&T, Electrical and RE Deptts.) + 0.6 x (Outlay for Civil Engineering Deptt. - Cost of track materials etc. procured by Civil Engg. Deptt.) 3 io sts: (a) __ In departments other than Accounts , total number of Senior Scale and Junior 3cale posts will be determined by taking these posts together and not separately.(b) (e) 10. 11. 412. 13. 14. 3+ In case of Civil, Electrical & S&T departments, the ratio of posts of SS to JS normally should be 4: 2 which can be relaxed upto maximum limit of 4: 1 depending upon the discretion of the GMs. Hence the formula to calculate these posts shall be as follows:- : No. of SS Posts x Yardstick for SS + No. of JS Posts x Yardstick for JS = Total outlay In case of Stores Department, the ratio of SS to JS posts will be 1:2. For all works, the expenditure likely to be incurred during the year should be considered for working out the required work charged ‘establishment. Mere ” availability of outlay should not be the only basis for ‘such a calculation. As regards the projects where work has to be taken up on the basis of matching contribution from the state government like ROBs, RUBs, MTP etc., outlay on ‘only such works where formal firm commitment of acceptance of the wagsks and the contribution has been confirmed, should be taken into account. Railways should not take into account outlays for the works which stand transferred to MRVC/RVNURail Tel. Only in cases where execution of a work or part thereof vests with the zonal railways, should the commensurate outlay be added for working out the number of admissible posts. In case of Deposit works, outlays are only to be reckoned provided the money has actually been received and only to the ‘extent of the expenditure likely to take place upto 31.03.06. However in some cases where the state Govt. or the agency may have given commitment even if the actual deposit is less, merits of such cases may be considered. In case of ‘turn key’ projects, 25% of the outlay should be taken for determining the admissible workcharged posts. However, ‘as a dispensation for J&K turn key projects in view of special circumstances, 50% of the outlay for SAGIJAG and 25% of outlay for SS/JS posts should be taken, subject to the condition that this provision should not result in ‘additional SAG posts than existing at present ie.on 30.6.2005 in the project. The yardsticks may not be applied separately to individual projects, some of which may be more complex and intensive supervision oriented than others, but if necessary, the same may be made applicable to a basket of projects for a railway or a unit as @ whole. It will be the responsibility of GM/PHOD to post and distribute the work taking such factors into account to ensure quality level of planning and supervision for individual works. All projects would be governed by these yardsticks. Any earlier dispensation stands withdrawn. Overall expenditure on work charged establishment should be within the D&G charges as advised vide Board's letter no. 2000/E&R/400/2 dated 20.12.2001. 2 - Contd. p/44 15. Details of number of posts (Department wise/ Grade wise) so created as per above guidelines and outlays for year 2005-06 (Department wise) may be furnished to E&R Directorate of Board by October, 2005. 46. This supercedes all earlier orders in this regard. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways. Hindi version will follow.
