Substantive Pay
Substantive
pay means the pay (other than special
pay, personal pay or emoluments classified as pay) to which a Railway servant
is entitled on account of his appointed to a post substantively or by reason of
his substantive position in a cadre.
Officiating Pay
Officiating
pay means the difference between the pay that a Railway servant
is entitled to draw by virtue of his being put to officiate in a post on which
another person holds a lien and his Substantive pay.
Example:
Mr
A is appointed as Junior clerk (substantive post) and his pay fixed as Rs.25000.
He is promoted as senior clerk on adhoc promotion and pay fixed as Rs.30000. Hence his substantive pay is Rs.25000 and officiating pay is Rs.5000.
