Please connect the above referred letter (RBE No. 174/2018), wherein the rates of honorarium payable to various officials deputed in Control Rooms on the dates of RRB/RRC examinations at Zonal Headquarters, Divisions, RRB offices and Railway Board (E/RRB) were prescribed.

The rates of honorarium payable to JSA/SSA/Steno shall be at par with those applicable to Group ‘C’ officials as mentioned in RBE No. 174/2018. Consequently, the total number of officials in the Control Room set-up at Railway Board (E/RRB) has increased from the existing six (06) to eight (08). The remaining changes involve only inclusion of additional designations, without any increase in the number of officials/staff deputed in the Control Room.

Further, the level and number of officials indicated in Annexure- ‘A’ shall be applicable for all examinations conducted by RRBs/RRCs. However, the actual number of officials to be deputed shall depend upon the schedule approved for-the particular examination.
