Federation (AIRF) raised following points in their opening remarks during the meeting:-

Dr. N Kanniah, President/AIRF

S. No.	Points raised
1.	In the last PNM/AIRF meeting, despite decisions taken on some issues during the meeting, orders were not issued by Board. It is requested that such pending orders are issued.
2.	It is happy to note that directions have been issued to General Managers from Board to expedite the pending promotions of employees.
3.	Federation is always available to cooperate so that the entire Indian Railway system should flourish.

Shri Shiva Gopal Mishra, General Secretary/AIRF

S. No.	Point raised
1.	Some decisions such as surrender of posts are taken in Board without prior consultation with Federations. It would be more appropriate that prior consultation is done with Federations to avoid confusion among the employees in the field and also implemented properly in the field.
2.	The pace of electrification of Railways is very fast and such new Railway Electrification works require corresponding staff to man the new assets.
3.	On some places where outsourcing is being resorted despite availability of adequate manpower, needs to be looked into particularly with reference to Production Units and Workshops.
4.	On NER, advertisements have been issued for hiring JEs/SSEs on contract basis. Such hiring through contracts in the recent past needs to be looked into.
5.	Some Zones have resorted to double-triple recruitment against the available vacancies and such new recruits are waiting for training. Such surplus staff needs to be re-deployed so that Railways do not suffer loss.
6.	Regular PNM meetings are not being held by DG/IRISET with the AIRF office bearers of Branch Union of IRISET in the recent past as it was being done earlier.
7.	Large recoveries are being made from the retirement dues of employees posted in Construction Organisation on the grounds of wrongful fixation of pay due to ad-hoc promotion, etc. DOP&T’s orders issued in this matter on the basis of Supreme Court’s judgment has been circulated by the Ministry of Railways. However, at the field level, such recoveries for wrongful fixation running into lakhs of rupees are still being made. This needs to be looked into. Federation cited the case of Shri Ishwar Das.
8.	Recruitment in Grade Pay of Rs.1800 against Sports quota has since been stopped by Zonal Railways for the last three-four years. As a result, we are not getting young sportspersons who continue to work in Railways and at the same time, participate in games at National and International Level and bring laurels for the Railways. Such recruitment in Grade Pay of 1800 against Sports quota which has since been frozen since 2016-17, needs to be re-opened.
9.	Some sportspersons of Zonal Railways need to be posted to Railway Sports Promotion Board also so that they can better appreciate the problems of sportspersons.
10.	Incentives to be given to sportspersons for outstanding performance, are often not given by the Zonal Railways for some or other reason, which needs to be looked into. Federation cited the case of Shri Harpreet of Northern Railway, who is a Boxing Champion and has earned almost 09 Gold and Silver Medals in the National and International events but could not get any incentive despite having won a number of gold medals.
11.	Though there is no ban in compassionate ground appointment of women in Clerks grade, still some of the Zonal Railways namely ECR are not resorting to it which is causing resentment.
12.	Physiotherapists and Sports trainers play an important role in nurturing the sportspersons. IR should consider about their progression and incentives.
13.	Gurmeet Kaur, sportsperson has already been selected against Scout quota on NR. However, her recruitment has been held up for want of age relaxation which is pending in Board’s office.
14.	Issue of Passes through HRMS has made the system very cumbersome and unfriendly. Similarly, HIMS system is also very cumbersome. All such digitalization needs to be simplified and made friendly for the employees.
15.	Unions and Federations should also be included under E-office system.
16.	Recruitment is presently being done on Pan [India basis which is not appropriate because selected candidates after joining start seeking inter-zonal Railway transfer. It should be RRB-wise for the benefit of the local candidates.
17.	10 years’ time limit laid down for seeking inter-zonal transfer is not appropriate. This is causing a lot of frustration among the employees. The earlier instruction of five years’ time limit for inter-zonal transfer needs to be restored so that employees may go back near their home town. Employees whose NOC for inter-zonal transfer has already been received, should be relieved on receipt of fresh panels.
18.	Medical procurements in particular medicine procurements have been recently given to Stores Department. As a result, substandard medicines are being procured. Branded medicines are not being procured on the ground of L1.
19.	All medical expenditure towards surgeries and treatment undertaken in Government/Private Hospitals during the Covid period needs to be fully reimbursed.
20.	Quasi Administrative staff are not being given UMID card due to some issue relating to problems in uploading of their data in HRMS, though their RELHS cards have been surrendered.
21.	Contractual appointment of Doctors and Paramedical staff should be extended well in advance before expiry of the existing currency on 30.06.2022.
22.	The residency period for promotion from Junior Account Assistant to Account Assistant is 03 years. This needs to be reduced to 02 years on the lines of other Departments.
23.	In case of Compassionate Ground appointment as Apprentice, the training period is still 03 years in Mechanical Department while it is 18 months for Electrical department. It is requested that in the Mechanical department also the training period for CG appointee Apprentices should be brought down to 18 months on the lines of Electrical department.
24.	Higher Grade posts should not be surrendered by the Zonal Railways as it adversely affects the promotional avenue of Juniors and such surrendered higher grade posts should immediately be restored back.
25.	The ratio for Promotion and Direct Recruitment to the post of Junior Engineer/SSE in RDSO is at variance with Zonal Railways which needs to be rectified.
26.	Power Cabins, Route Relay Cabins, LC Gates do not have toilet facilities and drinking water facilities.
27.	Privilege Pass, Post Retirement Complimentary Pass may be permitted in Vande Bharat Express, Tejas Express as well as Special Trains.
28.	The system of training schedule for Compassionate Ground Appointees as Technicians and in promotions in different categories also needs to be looked into. Training Period for Compassionate Ground Appointees needs to be reduced to 18 months in all departments.
29.	30% upgradation from GP 1800 to GP 1900 needs to be pursued as the matter is struck since long.
30.	Upgradation of SSEs from 4600 to 4800 pending with Ministry of Finance also needs to be pursued.
31.	LDCE should be kept open for all by way of reducing 10% posts of Direct Recruitment if the candidates appearing of LDCE possess the qualification prescribed by RRB for direct recruitment.
32.	Report of the Committee for Pointsmen category recommending four Grade Structure was already submitted, but orders have not been issued so far.
33.	Night Duty Allowance issue pending with Ministry of Finance needs to be pursued.
34.	Quasi Administrative staff working with Unions and Federations need to be regularized.
35.	70% TA component of Running Allowance in respect of Running Staff needs to be exempted from the purview of Income Tax. The matter needs to be further pursued with CBDT.
36.	Ban on creation of posts for new assets is not appropriate as matching saving is not possible in these cases.
37.	25% of the new quarters to be constructed by RLDA in re-developed colonies should be earmarked for serving and retired Railway employees on ‘no profit and no loss’ basis.
38.	Trackmen of Kolkata Metro get daily Night duty. Some mechanism should be developed so that they should get some rest and daily night duty may be avoided.
39.	In cases of medical decategorisation of Staff, Medical Officer should recommend only the medical classification. They should not prescribe the type of job to be assigned as this is the duty of the selection committee.
40.	The prescribed 05 years service for medical decategorisation of staff should be reduced to 03 years. Further, wards should be given appointment on the basis of qualification of the candidate.
41.	Due to delay in framing of panels promotions are getting delayed. It is requested that promotion should be effective from the date of occurrence of vacancy so that employees do not suffer financial loss.
42.	Restructuring of non-Gazetted IT cadre should be looked into. Report of the Committee constituted by Board for Gazetted IT Cadre should also be looked into so that non-Gazetted staff belonging to IT cadre does not get deprived.
43.	In respect of Ticket Checking Staff, the number of coaches to be inspected has been increased from 3 to 6 which is not appropriate. The old order for inspection of only three coaches by Ticket Checking Staff needs to be restored.
44.	As per the PRS module modification by CRIS, whosoever cancels the ticket gets refund. However, this facility 1s not available for E-pass and E-PTO holders. E-pass and E-PTO should be valid in case of cancellation of Ticket before charting.
45.	In case of employees who are psychiatric patients, they are considered to unfit only after 5 years of such ailment. Such an order of Board is not appropriate and this needs to be reviewed.
46.	Compassionate Ground Apprentices should also be similarly treated in case of death during training like other employees for the purpose of compassionate ground appointment of their wards and dependents.
47.	Residential Card Pass holders should also be allowed to travel in AC coaches of EMU trains of Mumbai Suburban.
48.	Rent, electricity and water charges for Railway Union Offices should be made free. On some of the Zonal Railways, namely, Southern Railway, notice is being received towards huge charges running into several lakhs towards rent, electricity and water charges for union offices. On some other Railways, it is supplied on commercial rates.
49.	AC escorting staff does not have rest room facility like Ticket Checking Staff and Running Staff.
50.	Community halls in Railway colonies need to be air-conditioned for various community functions like marriages, etc. Running Rooms for TTEs should also be air-conditioned.
51.	One time exemption for online examination for Appendix-III should be provided as employees have prepared for examination on the old pattern.
52.	Duty of Gateman for ‘C’ class gates of Engineering Department should not exceed more than eight hours.
53.	Lateral induction of Trackmen in other departments is not being properly implemented as a result their avenues are getting curtailed.
54.	There is no sitting arrangements for AC escorting staff in coaches. This also needs to be looked into.
55.	PPOs are not getting generated timely under ‘ARPAN’ which needs to be also looked into.
56.	Duty roster of staff of Engineering Department should be eight hours only on the basis of Job analysis. Without job analysis, no activity should be re-classified from ‘continuous’ to ‘intermittent’.
57.	On some zones, persons hired by contractor have been deployed for night patrolling which is not appropriate.
58.	Safety Related Retirement Scheme should also be considered as it is a motivation for serving employees.
59.	Where both the spouses are working in Railways, any one of them can adopt RELHS and recovery should not be effected from both.

65.	Crew links in respect of Running Staff should be such that crew may come back to their base station within 36 hours to improve efficiency.
66.	Cadre restructuring of Track Maintainers in Kolkata Metro has not been done since long. This needs to be expedited.
