DO No. PC-VII/2018/RSRP/1

New Delhi, dated 10/01/2019

I would like to draw your attention to Board’s letter dated 17.12.2018 (RBE No. 197/2018 – copy enclosed) adopting Ministry of Finance’s (MoF) OM dated 12.12.2018 wherein another opportunity has been afforded to employees to re-exercise the option to switching over to 7th CPC pay structure within three months from the date of issue of the orders.

2. It may be appreciated that the orders have been issued after prolonged pursuance with MoF including from the staff side, in various forums. These orders have been circulated amongst all Railways/Units and uploaded on Board’s website, it is however, important to ensure that all Railway employees who would be benefited by such re-exercise of option are aware of the issue of these orders and are given guidance/assistance in revising their option (wherever beneficial) in time. This is especially important for those working in remote locations or who are under training/leave. Kindly therefore ensure that all affected employees are covered in the next few weeks, if necessary by organising special drives/camps for the purpose.

2. I would request for a confirmation from you by the end of February, 2019 that all eligible employees have been apprised and guided regarding re-exercise of their option and that there are none left over.

With
Encl. As above

Yours sincerely

7th pay Commission Department of Animal Husbandry, Ministry of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare Revised Pay Rules 2016

Department of Animal Husbandry, Ministry of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare
Sl.No	Name of the Post	Existing Grade Pay		Revised Pay structure
		Existing Grade Pay	Grade Pay corresponding to which revised Levels have been	Level in Pay Matrix	Para No.Of the Report
1	Sheep Shearer cum Supervisor in Central Sheep Breeding Farm	1900	2400	L-4 An appropriate level between Level 4 and Level 2 shall be introduced	11.1.38

7th CPC Recommendations Highlight Para:

11.1.38 The Commission has noted that the Sheep Shearer cum Supervisor has no promotional avenue. On the other hand Stockman starts in the GP. 2400 and eventually moves up to the GP.4600 as Livestock Officer. The entry qualifications of Stockman and Sheep Shearer cum Supervisor are of similar level. As their nature of duties is also similar, the Commission recommends that the grade pay of Sheep Shearer cum Supervisors be upgraded to the GP.2400. Since the upgradation will involve a jump from the level of Shepherd in the GP.1800 to Sheep Shearer cum Supervisor in the GP.2400 after a period of 12 years, the Commission is of the view that the government may consider introducing an appropriate level in between so as to graduate the progression from Shepherd to Sheep Shearer cum Supervisor.
