The General Managers (P) All Zonal Railways & Production Units.
Sub: Revised pay limits for entitlement of Passes/PTOs.
Consequent to implementation of 7th Central Pay Commission's recommendations and notification of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016, the "Grade Pay" component has been dispensed with and "Pay Level in Pay Matrix" (PLPM) has been introduced in the pay structure of railway servants. Hence, switching over to 7th CPC based PLPM to determine pay limits for entitlement of Passes/PTOs has been under consideration.
