Dated,: 13/07/2016
Sub: Implementation of the recommendations of 7th CPC – Fitment Factor and pay Fixation for Running Staff-reg.
The Railway Board is aware that the Union Cabinet has decided on 29th June 2016 for implementation of revised Pay Matrices of the 7th Central Pay Commission w.e.f. 01/01/2016 duly applying 2.57 multiplier factor. The notification, in this regard, is expected from the Ministry of Finance in due course.
In this connection, the NFIR invites Railway Board’s attention to letter No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 12/09/2008 relating to Pay Fixation tables for Running Staff which were given effect from 01/01/2006 and wherein the Fitment Factor was 2.118 for Running Staff (in view of pay elefnent) instead of 1.86. Considering the 30% pay element of Running Stuff which is needed to be taken for arriving at multiplier factor, the Federation is of the view that the Fitment Factor for Pay Fixation of Running Staff in the 7th CPC Pay Matrix shall be “3” instead of “2.57”.
NFIR, therefore, urges upon the Railway Board to take the above points into consideration for the purpose of determining the Fitment Factor as “3” in the case of Running Staff for granting 7th CPC Pay Fixation w.e.f. 01/01/2016.
Yours faithfull

The uniform date of retirement should be 62 years for employees in Grade Pay I, II & III, as with the increase in age their responsibilities also increases and the savings which they have is not enough to meet their requirements.
Mohammad Rais Siddiqi says
The recommendations of 7th Pay Commission are not enthusiastic. It has made senior officers of Pay Band VI more rich in comparison to other Pay Bands I, II, & III. Further it has not made recommendations about age of retirement . The different dates of retirement should be changed and one date of retirement should be maintained. The employees in Grade Pay I, & II are less paid employees and they need more money with the increase in age and family responsibility. It will be better if age of retirement of all employees is fixed at 62 years, because the age of teachers fixed at 65 years is not productive.
