I Mr. K.N.Ranganath joined esteemed Indian Railway Organisation in 1997 and working Promptly, Efficiently and discharging my duties assigned proficiently till date.
During 2013, I was working as Office Superintendent in Commercial Branch at Hubli Division due to some personal reasons, I took transfer on own request on bottom seniority to Bangalore Division and posted as Junior Clerk, Works Branch at SBC.
As per Railway Board Circulars (1,2 & 3) mentioned above under reference my basic pay was fixed to Rs. 14,700/- and grade pay was reduced to Rs. 1900/- during September 2013 which was approved /vetted by Personnel Department and Accounts Department. Railway Board Circulars clearly states that “the pay will be fixed at a stage next below the pay drawn in the higher post and the difference may be granted as “Personal Pay” to be absorbed in future increments.”
“the pay in the pay band will be fixed at a stage equal to the pay in the pay band drawn by him prior to his appointment against the lower post. However, he will be granted grade pay of lower post. Further in all cases he will be continue to draw his increments based on his pay in the pay band + grade pay (lower).
During November 2017, my basic was Rs. 43,100/- with Grade Pay Rs. 1900/- as per Seventh Pay Commission. After long hardship, I was promoted as Sr.Clerk vide letter under Ref.no.5.
My Basic Pay was reduced to Rs. 39,200/- due to wrong calculation calculated by Personnel Branch.
I appealed to our DRM/SBC on date 15.12.2017 and Higher Authorities through NIVARAN Portal vide NIV/2017/012387 & NIV/2017/012512 against the injustice caused and to take corrective measures against the orders.
But, DPO/SBC issued Letter No. B/P.535/VII/Minst.Staff/Engg dated 22.03.2018 duly reducing my basic to 37,000/- from Rs. 39,200/- again once more time Rs.2200/- reduced.
PAY PROTECTION instructions as issued by Railway Board have not been followed in my case.
Due to wrong calculation and no mistake of mine, I am loosing Rs.9000/- per month inclusive of DA+HRA which cause huge damage to my financial life.
