Dear Sir,

Sub: (i) Grant of MACP to Guards Category  – AIRF’s PNM Item No.2 2011
 and (ii) Placement of Pharmacists in the Entry GP of  Rs.4200(NFG)
on completion of two years service in GP  Rs.2800 as well as grant of
 three MACPs to the Pharmacist category on the Indian Railways
AIRF’s PNM Item No.4/2011

This is to draw your attention towards Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench’s
O.A. No.484/2011, 507/2011, 561/2011, 610/2011, 647/2011
and 650/2011 dated 22.02.2012(photocopy enclosed for ready reference) in the
matter of Pankajakshan M. and others(Applicants) VS Union of India and others
 (Respondents), wherein Hon’ble CAT has directed the Respondents
that the MACP already granted to Guards’ Category should be
restored and no recovery of the amounts, if any already paid,
should be affected from any staff of this category. The CAT has further
observed by quoting para 126.5 of the report of the VI CPC that
such type of judgement should be equally applied for all the similarly
placed employees.

In view of the above, the Board are requested to restore the benefit
of the MACP, already granted to Guard’s Category as also to
Pharmacists placed in the initial Grade Pay of Rs.4200 on
completion of two years service in GP Rs.2800 and no recovery
 of amount, if any already paid, should be affected.

The General Managers of the Indian Railways may be advised accordingly under advice to this
Federation.

An early action in the matter shall be highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully

(ShivaGopal Mishra)

General Secretary
