ORDER
Background
1. The RTI Application dated 14.7.2010 was filed by the Applicant with the PIO , Railway Board, Rail
Bhawan, New Delhi. The Applicant wanted to know the following :
“That though I had been retired on 30.11.2003 as designated Sr.Motorman but due to administrative
lapses I was treated as non running staff and my settlement was NOT made accordingly as
Sr.Motorman. For which I would have suffered a huge amount of pecuniary loss. Should I get my
legitimate dues over the period during my surviving existence at an earliest?”.
The PIO replied on 16.9.2010 providing point wise information. Not satisfied with this reply the
Applicant filed a complaint before the Commission on 18.10.2010 stating that after his retirement
his settlement/pension had not been adjusted with the ‘weightage’ of 55% of basis pay as per R B
letter no. E(p&A)1197/REST2 dated 2.4.98 and that his pay was not properly fixed. He wanted to
know whether his pay fixation has been done correctly or not.
Decision
2. On perusal of the documents which have been submitted the Commission directs the PIO to provide
the required information sought in the Appellant’s second appeal , while substantiating the same with
documents (calculation sheet etc) available on record. The information may be provided by 15 June, 2011.
3. The Complaint is accordingly disposed of.
