OT Arrears wef 1.1.2006 Award of Rs 300 Crores to Railwaymen by AIRF
OT Arrears wef 1.1.2006 One more Historical Victory for All India Railwaymen’s Federation…
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF ALL INDIA RAILWAYMEN’S FEDERATION
Editorial
ONE MORE HISTORICAL VICTORY FOR A.I.R.F.
Payment of Overtime Allowance to the Railwaymen for the
period from January 2006 to 31st August. 2008 was being
demanded by AIRF for payment without any delay. In the
meantime meeting of Departmental Council/JCM was fixed
for 4th and 5th May, 2011.
In accordance with our pre determined policy, we had
already intimated that we want payment of Overtime
Allowance orders from Railway Board before this JCM
meeting. Even after that meeting on May 4th was
Conducted in the absence of Member Staff and once more
we clarified that Overtime Allowance, is not aims that
Government would give at Its own but a well deserved hard
earned wages of employees and has to be given.
We will attend meetings only after these payments
otherwise, we will boycott the meeting. On 5th of May when
Member Staff expressed his inability to Issue orders of
Overtime allowance on the same day, we decided not to
attend JCM any more and remained out and told MS that
meeting will be attended by us after we receive a copy of
Overtime Allowance orders.
Immediately we held Standing Committee meeting and
resolved to hold demonstration and meetings at all GM’s,
DRM’s Offices and in all the Production Units on 18.5.2011.
It became a huge success with the participation of about 1
lac rail workers in the demonstration.
Railway Board were uneasy on our boycotting the JCM and
on the other hand exceptional solidarity shown by
Railwaymen on 18.5.2011 worked like magic and the same
story Railway Board who would always pretend “To be the
case under consideration, we are looking into, condition are
not well” etc. were forced to issue orders on the subject on 20th May, 2011.
This would benefit Railwaymen to the extent of a huge
Rs.300 crores which Is heavily substantial. The credit for this
goes to the aggressive style of union’s working which
resulted in a win for Rail employees. Not only this, now the
orders for calculating pensionery benefits @ 50% of last pay
drawn for Railway workers retiring from Construction
Organisatlons of Railways are also likely to be issued shortly.
Construction workers will get immensly benefited from this.
Not only this, arrears to Running Staff, improved mileage
allowance with 25% increase are the proposals that Railway
Board would discuss in our next early meetings. Cadre
restructuring along with recruitment of substitute has also
started w.e.f. 20.5.2011. On 25.5.2011, committee has
been formed for Running and Safety category employees.
Member Staff also assured your federation to solve each
and every issue after proper discussion.
The mute point is, why should Railway Board adapt dilly —
dallying tactics every time. It is Railway Board which
provides opportunities to us for waging struggles against
them. In the coming week from 20th June to 24th June
2011, after boycotting the due meetings, and spearheading
noisy movements against Railway Board and Finance
ministry if we are able to repeat the history of our activities
of 18th May 2011 once again, then I am very sure, not only
Railway Board & Finance Ministry but also Govt. of India
would heed to our demands.
We have to do this and exhibit our solidarity and unity.
Remember the JPs great slogan — “No begging only
struggle - greater Struggle now”.

Central Sector Scheme of Interest Subsidy on Educational Loans
The Ministry of Human Resource Development launched during 2009-10 a new Central Scheme to provide full
interest subsidy during the period of moratorium on educational loans for students belonging to economically
weaker sections (with parental family income from all sources of less than Rs.4.5 lakh annually), from scheduled

Under the Scheme, proof of income is required to be certified by authorities to be designated by the State Governments. Accordingly, the Ministry has written to all Chief Secretaries of States/Union Territories to intimate the designated authority/authorities (at the District/Sub-District/ Block, etc. levels) to the District level Consultative Committee (DLCC) so that banking authorities at the branch level where students would be approaching for availing the scheme would be aware of the same. The eligible students may get the details of designated authorities from the concerned branch of the Bank where they have availed of loan.
All Scheduled Member Banks of the IBA have also been advised to take necessary action to adopt and implement the Scheme so that the benefits of the Scheme accrue to the eligible students. Canara Bank is the Nodal Bank, for the Member Banks of IBA, for claiming reimbursement of
interests to student accounts.
The details of the Scheme as well as the above communication are available on the website of the HRD Ministry at www.education.nic.in.
All eligible students who wish to avail of the benefits of the Scheme, are advised to approach the respective bank branch from where they availed of the education loan and complete the necessary formalities including obtaining the certification in respect of annual family income from the
competent authority at the Block/Tehsil/District Level, so that the individual students accounts could be credited with he interest due on the Loans for the academic year 2009-10
onwards. Those who have already submitted such Certificates are not required to submit them again. The last day for submitting Certificates by students to respective branches is 20.07.2011.

Observation of “All India Protest Week” 20-24 June, 2011
No.AIRF/24(C) Dated: June 17, 2011
The General Secretaries, All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Coms.,
Sub: Observation of “All India Protest Week” 20-24 June, 2011
A lot of pressure has been crated on the Railway administration because of our notice to them and your preparation for “All India Protest Week” from 20-24 June, 2011. As I have mentioned in my earlier communications that this was the reason that the Railway Board, particularly Member Staff, Addl. Member(Staff), Adviser(IR), have started discussing the issues with us and in many cases they assured that positive action will be taken. Not only that, orders on some of the important issues, such as payment of arrears of Overtime w.e.f. 1.1.2006, retirement benefits to Construction Organization Staff on last pay drawn, constitution of High Powered Committee to review duty hours of Running and Safety Categories Staff, enhancement of 25% allowances on reaching DA 51%, de-centralization of power for compassionate ground appointment in the hands of the GMs, de-centralization of LARSGESS at divisional level, starting of cadre restructuring exercise, etc. etc., have been issued by the Railway Board. Even then, still there are many problems which are yet to be resolved.
AIRF Working Committee and Standing Committee have given directives to AIRF affiliates to organize “All India Protest Week” from 20-24 June, 2011 in a befitting manner to create more pressure at the appropriate level.
We have also requested you to organize 23rd June, 2011 as “Quality Public Services Action Day”. On this day we must resolve against privatization of Public Transport System.
We have also drawn your attention towards joint circular issued by the Central Trade Unions for united struggle against price rise, unemployment, implementation of labour laws for Unorganized Sector and selling of PSUs appropriately on 23rd June, 2011.
Keeping in view all the above directives, we hope that our cadre will be taking the things quite seriously and will organize above-mentioned programmes in a befitting manner, and the report of the same will be sent to us.
With fraternal greetings!
Yours fraternally,

Meeting held with the CRB on Rng Staff issue
No.AIRF/24(C) Dated: June 16, 2011
The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Coms.,
Sub: Feedback on the meeting held with the CRB
on 15th June, 2011 Yesterday I met the Chairman, Railway Board and once again urged him to expedite long pending demands of the Railwaymen.
After discussion, there is likelihood of further liberalization of LARSGESS, where our demand - recruitment of wards of Railway employees under LARSGESS should be treated at par with compassionate ground appointment, is likely to meet.
It has also been assured by the Railway Board that Cadre Restructuring Exercise will be expedited and Matching Surrender will not be insisted upon by the Railway Board.
The issue of upgradation of 15% apex level group `C’ posts to group `B’ posts was also discussed and the Railway Board have agreed to process the matter further.
I also raised the issues relating to Running Staff, particularly payment of arrears of Running Allowance w.e.f. 1.1.2006, improvement in ALK and 25% increase in the rate of Mileage Allowance consequent upon reaching Dearness Allowance at 51% as well as early redressal of recommendations of Departmental Anomalies pending with the MoF.
As all of you are aware that the Member Staff and Adviser(IR), Railway Board, have already initiated discussions on various issues mentioned in our notice given to Railway Board, particularly the issues pertaining to Running Staff were also discussed between the President and General Secretary AIRF and the Addl. Member(Staff), Adviser(IR), EDPC-I & II, Railway Board and some breakthrough has taken place. They (Railway Board) assured us for having another round of discussions with complete data.
This is for your information please.
Yours fraternally,

Today, i.e. on 16th June, 2011, I met Hon’ble Minister of State for Railways, Shri Mukul Roy and handed him over burning demands of the Railwaymen as well as a copy of the Resolution submitted by AIRF to the Railway Board vide letter No.AIRF/24(C) dated April 27, 2011 and explained him why Railwaymen are on the path of agitation.
He discussed all the issues with me and made it clear that he will take position on all our demands and will further hold discussion with the Federation.
He assured that he is a person who likes that the Railwaymen must be satisfied. Without their satisfaction Indian Railways cannot progress.
He also admired for the support of the Federations and hope for future cooperation.
He also mentioned that he will support the cause of the Railwaymen, particularly our demand of recruitment of wards of Railway employees as Substitutes.
He also assured for positive and appropriate action on our demand – regularization/absorption of quasi-administrative offices staff in the Railways.
On our demand of giving Privilege Pass to both mother and father of Railway employees, he stated that medical facilities have already been extended to them and on the same pattern he will try to resolve the issue.
He also stated that the issue of recruitment of wards of Railway employees against LARSGESS will be resolved shortly.
On various Welfare Schemes, announced by the earlier MR in her Rail Budget, he assured that these will be implemented early and accelerated.
Regarding resolving the issues of Running Staff and Anomalies he stated that he will discuss the matter with the Railway administration and thereafter with the Federation and assured that he will see that the agreement must see the light of the day.
The meeting was very cordial and the Hon’ble MoSR stated that he would like to meet and interact with us quite often.
This is for your information please.
Yours fraternally,

5 things to look out for in your home agreement
by BankBazaar.com
5 things to look out for in your home agreement!
On handing over the house to you, the builder needs to also give a `Completion Certificate’. This is issued by municipal authorities which establishes that the building complies with the approved plan. You would need this certificate for registration of your house and other government formalities.
So you have identified the house that you want to buy, got the home loan approved and now are ready to own your house. Think its smooth sailing from here onwards? Think again. Once you have completed these formalities, the next part is ensuring that the builder does not entangle you in any legal traps. There are some very important points to consider when you are about to enter into an agreement with the developer. Let’s take a look at 5 such points you need to remember and the measures you can take against them.
Point 1 - Actual price of the house
The agreement you enter in with the builder details the various costs that you will need to bear for buying the house. This would include the cost for utilities like electricity and water, parking space, various taxes and in some cases even the registration charges. However, the builder may then levy some extra charges for any of these.
Measures to take
- Check the agreement very carefully for all the charges applicable.
- If possible, get the agreement checked by a lawyer for any missing or hidden charges and get the anomalies (if any) rectified by the builder.
- If the extra charges are for alterations made to the original plan, ask the builder for the sanction letter provided by government authorities for such alterations.
Point 2 - Actual size of the house
The agreement would clearly mention the size of the house you are purchasing. However, there is a clause which states ‘…the plans, designs, and specifications are tentative and the developer reserves the right to make variations and modifications….’. Therefore, you may agree for a certain size, but the builder can give a different size.
Measures to take
- Before freezing on your choice of a builder, do some research about the builder’s past projects.
- If possible, talk with other buyers who already have got possession about problems faced by them
- Try and include a clause in the agreement stating the minimum and maximum size beyond which the builder cannot increase or decrease.
Point 3 - Carpet Area
The area of an apartment or building, not inclusive of the area of the walls is known as carpet area. This is the area in which literally a ‘carpet’ can be laid. When the area of the walls including the balcony is calculated along with the carpet area, it is known as built-up area. The built-up area along with the area under common spaces like lobby, lifts, stairs, garden and swimming pool is called super built-up area. The carpet area can be 15-30 percent less than the super built-up area. However, you will not come to know the exact size until the flat constructions is completed.
Measures to take
- Purchase the property based on the carpet area of the flat.
- Ensure that this area is mentioned in the agreement.
- Try to get a clause included which will ensure that the contract can be terminated if the builder provides a house with the carpet area less than what is mentioned in the contract.
Point 4 - Date of Possession
The agreement normally mentions a tentative date of possession. However, there have been instances where builders have delayed possession by more than a year.
Measure to take
- Check the progress of the construction personally.
- If the progress is slow and would not meet the date of possession in a timely manner, build pressure on the builder.
- Forming a society with other buyers sometimes helps a lot in getting things to speed up at the builders end.
Point 5 - Completion certificate
On handing over the house to you, the builder needs to also give a completion certificate. This is issued by municipal authorities which establishes that the building complies with the approved plan. You would need this certificate for registration of your house and other government formalities.
Measures to take
If the agreement does not mention the certificate, ensure that the agreement has a clause which states that the builder will provide the certificate while handling over the house to you.
If the builder delays a lot, forming a society with other buyers sometimes helps a lot.
Other than these five points there more points such as the quality of the construction, management of the society etc. For this you can try to add clauses to the agreement or form a society to get the builder to meet your demands. Since there is no industry regulator you can turn to for the redressal of issues, it is important that you are aware of what you want and what you are getting.

Avoid SPAD
Date: 13/06/2011
Tr No 11019
LOAD-23B
Loco No 18763 KZJ WDM3A
Section: SUR-WADI (C.RLY)
HG Dn Home Signal (S2/ 469-2) was Danger whereas LC60 Gate Signal (SW3/ 468-6) was one Yellow and Gate Distant signal was two yellow
Comment: It is danger may be a cause for SPAD as distance between Gate cum Distant signal of Home Signal & Dn Home Signal is merely 600m which is quite less than braking distance as well as also less than standard adequate safety distance (1000m).
Moreover visibility is also poor due to curving.
Suggestion: To avoid SPAD case, Aspects of signals to be matched like aspects of KDGN up Home Signal & LC12 Gate Signal (ie when home Signal is Danger then past both signals Gate Signal & Gate Distant must be one yellow).
otherwise Location of signals may be shifted to the extent of standard adequate safety distance.
It's a repeated defect but no positive steps by administration. They just stated as per PLAN it is correct. But PLAN may be faulty that must checked.

No.AIRF/55 Dated: June 8, 2011
The General Secretaries,

The issues of payment of arrears of Running Allowance w.e.f. 1.1.2006, improvement in the rate of Kilometreage Allowance, 25% enhancement the rate of T.A./ KMs on reaching D.A. 51%, etc. were discussed today between the Railway Board and the President and General Secretary AIRF.
After prolonged discussions, there have been some breakthrough but the issues are still remained inconclusive because Railway administration wanted some more time for collection of data.
