As per to Railway Board’s instructions, issued vide letter No.E(W)2014/FU-1/1 dated 30.07.2014(RBE No.83/2014), under the scheme of Scholarship for Higher Technical/Professional Education, @ Rs.1500 p.m. is applicable for the wards of railway staff in grade pay of above Rs.2400 and up to GP Rs.4200.

On the representation of recognized federations, Railway Board decided to remove the ceiling limit of GP Rs.4200(RBE No.136/2014), and accordingly the scheme was made available for the wards of all non-gazetted railway employees.
