Sub: Payment of OTA to Supervisory categories/Grades (performing non-supervisory role) of staff of all concerned Departments over the Railways
The issue of non-payment of Overtime Allowance (OTA) to staff in supervisory categories but performing non-supervisory role/duty over Indian Railways had been under consideration as there were demands from both the Federation i.e. AIRF & NFIR in this regard. East Coast Railway had also sought clarification in respect of payment of OTA to Station Superintendent in Grade Pay 4600 working in continuous roster duty i.e. performing duty in non-supervisory role.
2. The matter was examined in Board’s office and clarification was issued to East Coast Railway vide letter No.2023/E(LL)/OTA/3 dated 14.02.2024 & 01.05.2024 that as per extant instructions as contained in Railway Servants (HOER) Rules, 2005, those Railway Servants who are employed on duty having supervisory character/role are not eligible for Overtime Allowance (OTA), as they are comparatively free to adjust his hours of duty or work during such hours by the virtue of the nature of his work and position. However, the eligible cases for grant of Overtime Allowance (OTA) for all concerned categories of staff posted on supervisory grades but performing non-supervisory role/duty may be examined and considered in consultation with FA&CAO in terms of Board’s letter No. E(LL)84/HER/1-27 dated 30.11.1984 (copy enclosed).
3. The above clarification is reiterated for information and necessary action.
