The provisions regarding grant of gratuity and family pension to the members of families of the deceased Government servants/pensioners who were appointed on or before 31st December, 2003 and who are/were born on pensionable establishments are contained in Rules 50-54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. The instructions regarding grant of family pension and gratuity under these rules to the eligible member of the family of an employee reported missing had been issued vide this Departments earlier office memorandum No.1/17/86-P&PW, dated 29th August, 1986.

The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Section 154 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code mandates filing of an FIR by the Police authorities on a report received of the commission of a cognizable offence. A missing person per se does not point to commission of a cognizable offence. In view of this. cognizance of a person's disappearance can be taken by the Head of Office on the basis of an authenticated Daily Diary (DD) General Diary Entry (GDE), filed by the Police authorities concerned, as per the practice prevalent in that State/UT.

3.

It includes those kidnapped by insurgents/terrorists but does not include those who disappear after committing frauds/crime etc.

The family pension and or retirement gratuity may be sanctioned by the Administrative Ministry/Department after observing the following formalities:-

(i) The family must lodge a report with the concerned Police Station and obtain a report from the Police, that the employee/pensioner/family pensioner has not been traced despite all efforts made by them. The report may be a First Information Report or any other report such as a Daily Diary General Diary Entry.

(ii) An Indemnity Bond should he taken from the nominee dependents of the employee/pensioner/Family pensioner that all payments will be adjusted against the payments due to the employee/pensioner/family pensioner in case she/he appears on the scene and makes any claim.

5. In the case of a missing employee, the family pension, at the ordinary or enhanced rate, as applicable, will accrue from thc expiry of leave or the date up to which pay and allowances have been paid or the date of the police report. whichever is later. In the case of a missing pensioner family pensioner, it will accrue from the date of the police report or from the date immediately succeeding the date till which pension’ family pension had been paid, whichever is later.

6. The retirement gratuity will be paid to the family within three months of the date of application. In case of any delay, the interest shall be paid at the applicable rates and responsibility for delay shall be fixed. The difference between the death gratuity and retirement gratuity shall be payable after the death of the employee is conclusively established or on the expiry of the period of seven years from the date of the police report.

7. Before sanctioning the payment of gratuity, the Head of Office will assess all Government dues outstanding against the employee/pensioner and effect their recovery in accordance with Rule 71 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 and other instructions in force for effecting such recoveries.

8. The amount of salary due, leave encashment due and the amount of GPF will be paidly the family in the first instance as per the nominations made by the employee/pensioner on filing of a police report and submission of an indemnity bond as indicated above.

9. The benefits to be sanctioned to the family nominee of the missing employee/pensioner will be based on and regulated by the emoluments drawn by him / her and the rules orders applicable to him / her as on the last date he / she was on duty including authorised periods of leave.

Railway Board,                               Kind attention Shri Suresh Kumar Seth. AM/Staff

Dear Sir,

Sub: Grant of Study Leave to the railway employees for pursuing higher studies in India - modification of extant provisions - requested.

Leave Rules play a significant role in the personal life and career prospects of a Government Employees including Railway employees. So for as Railway employees are concerned, the leave rules are available vide Chapter 5 of the Indian Railway Establishment Code, Vol-I-1985 (2 Reprint Edition). Leave Rules, also known as Railway Services (Liberalised Leave) Rules, were first introduced w.e.f. 1949 and are applicable to Railway employees appointed on or after 1st February, 1949. Though these rules have been amended from time to time yet do not fulfil the present day requirement and at times found totally outdated.

1.1 Important segment of these Rules which affect adversely are the rules on “Study Leave”. The Study Leave is generally granted to the Railway employees of Group ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ categories.

1.2 Rule 556 read with Appendix ‘V’ of the ‘Leave Rules’ provides for ‘STUDY LEAVE’ where following provisions have been made in Rule (7).

Leave salary during study leave

(1) During study leave availed outside India a Railway servant shall draw leave salary equal to the pay (without allowances other than dearness allowance) that the Railway servant drew while on duty immediately before proceeding on such leave, in addition to the study allowance admissible in accordance with the provisions of rules 8 to 10.

(2) (a) During study leave availed in India, a Railway employee shall draw leave salary equal to the pay (without allowances other than dearness allowances) that the Railway servant drew while on duty immediately before proceeding on such leave.

(b) Payment of leave salary at full rate under clause (a) shall be subject to furnishing of a certificate by the Railway servant to the effect that he is not in receipt of any scholarship, stipend or remuneration in respect of any part-time employment.

(c) The amount, if any received by a Railway servant during the period of study leave as scholarship or stipend or remuneration in respect of any part time employment as envisaged in sub-rule (2) of rule 8, shall be adjusted against the leave salary payable under this sub-rule subject to the condition that the leave salary shall not be reduced to an amount less than that payable as leave salary during half pay leave.

(d) No study allowance shall be paid during study leave for courses of study in India.

1.3 Rule 2 (d) quoted above clearly puts restriction that no study allowance is payable if study is undertaken in India.

1.4 On the other hand railway employees undertaking study outside India are paid study allowance that too in foreign currency. The provision needs to be amended for extending study allowance to Railway employees who avail study leave for acquiring higher skills in the Country also.

2. NFIR desires to cite a case of Railway Employee who will be facing financial hardship while availing Study Leave. The facts of the case are given here under:

2.1 Ms Jyoti Chawla, Chief Matron (PB-II & GP Rs.5400/-), working in the Northern Railway Central Hospital, New Delhi, has been sanctioned two years Study Leave commencing from 23/07/2013 to 22/07/2015 for doing M.Sc. (Nursing) at Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur College of Nursing, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi, by the Medical Director, Central Hospital. New Delhi, vide Notice No.724-E/Jyoti Chawla/Chief Matron/CH dated 31/05/2013.

2.2 While sanctioning Study Leave, restrictions have been laid down in the notice issued by the Medical Director, Central Hospital that all expenditure for pursuing the said course i.e. Tuition Fee, Hostel Fee, Books, Boarding & Lodging etc., any other expenses shall be borne by her at her own level.

2.3 The employee has also to execute a bond to serve the Railway Administration for three years on completion of the said course with further condition that in case she resigns/leaves the service, she will have to deposit the amount of leave salary paid to her during Study Leave. A copy of said notice is enclosed for reference.

3. The position brought out above shows that the above-named employee while pursuing the M.Sc. (Nursing) shall not be entitled for study allowance, and even transport allowance for attending daily classes of M.Sc.(Nursing). Federation further wishes to state that with the radical changes in the Educational Sector and with the setting up new medical and engineering colleges with almost all types of syllabuses, the expenditure incurred by the Railway employees needs to be borne by the Railway Administration, thus the employees alongwith leave salary should be paid allowances like:
Study Allowance,
Transport Allowance etc.,
to motivate them to acquire higher skills which would benefit railways as such staff would give equality services.

NFIR. therefore, requests the Railway Board to kindly consider and amend extant provisions, allowing the payment of above allowances to the employees who are granted Study Leave for acquiring higher skills.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
