Dear Sir,

FACILITIES TO OFFICERS POSTED ON TRANSFER TO/OFFICERS WORKING AT OFFICES/BRANCHES OF BANKS IN THE NORTH EASTERN REGION

We draw your kind attention to our letter No.1452/144/11 dated 28.02.2011, wherein we have made a case for extending the benefit of Special Allowance to all Officers working in the North Eastern Region, including Sikkim and Ladakh irrespective of their posting to/working at offices/branches in the North Eastern Region either on transfer from outside the region or from the local area. We have requested you to consider the above keeping in view the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission where the civilian employees of the Central Government including officers of the All India Services, whether from outside the Region or from within the Region have been made eligible for the Special Allowance, from a retrospective date i.e., 01.09.2008.

We wish to bring to your kind notice the fact that, Reserve Bank of India has extended the facilities to their officers irrespective of their transfer to North Eastern Region from outside or officers from within the Region working at offices/branches of Banks and the facilities have been improved substantially.

In view of the above developments, we urge upon you to consider the North East Special Allowance to all category of Officers of North Eastern Region, which will remove the discriminations among the officers, whether from outside the Region or from within the Region.  We hope that the Special Allowance will be extended to all the Officers in line with the 6th Pay Commission Recommendations and also the facilities extended by RBI to their officers.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
