Sub: Grant of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff only taking into account pay plus 30% of pay.
One of the Zonal Railways had sought clarification whether 30% pay element is to be reckoned for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to Running Staff or otherwise.
2. The issue has already been considered and also discussed with the representatives of the Staff Side after the implementation of the Fifth CPC recommendations but was not agreed to. Therefore, it is clarified that 30% pay elements, is not to be reckoned for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to Running Staff.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Reckoning of 30% of Pay Element for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff
Ref: Board’s letter No.E(P&A)II-2011/RS-51 dated 17.04.2012
The clarification regarding reckoning of 30% of Pay Element for the purpose of payment of Transport Allowance to the Running Staff is quite surprising. Whatever decision was taken previously, while implementing recommendations of the VI CPC, cannot be applied mutatis-mutandis in the present context when Transport Allowance is being paid after implementation of recommendations of the VI CPC as a new concept. Transport Allowance, after implementation of the report of the VI CPC, is also a part of the City Compensatory Allowance, which has been discontinued after 01.01.2006.
The Board are, therefore, requested to review this issue and discuss the matter threadbare with AIRF to arrive at an agreeable solution of this problem. Since Loco Running Staff is a very sensitive category, this issue needs to be decided on overriding priority.
Comradely Yours
