Sub: Revision of rates of stipend to apprentices and trainees on Railways.

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/97/I/7/18 dated 28.5.98

Consequent upon the promulgation of Railway Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 on the
basis of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the issue of revision in the
rates of stipend to apprentices and trainees (non-gazetted) on Railways was under consideration.
Now, the President is pleased to revise the rates of stipend to the apprentices and trainees as per
the schedule attached herein.

2. It is likely that some of the existing categories of apprentices on certain Railways may not
have designations identical to what appears in the enclosed Schedule. In such cases, the Railway
administration, in consultation with FA & CAO, should identify the designation/category of the
apprentice concerned with similar case appearing in the Schedule and determine the rate of stipend
applicable thereto. Wherever such identification is not possible, specific cases may be reported to the
Board with verbatim comments of the FA & CAO.

3. In case, the period of training as indicated in these orders is at variance with the actual
practice in respect of one or more categories, the matter should be referred to the Railway Board for
decision.

4. The apprentices and trainees will draw the revised rates of Dearness Allowance appropriate to
the revised rates of stipend.

5. The revised rates of stipend will take effect from 01.9.2008.

6. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

7. Hindi version is enclosed.
