- It has come to the notice that some of the Zonal Railways at local level has taken decision otherwise to implement the scheme of LARSGESS in deviation to the extant guideline issued by Railway Board. While such an option is not open to Zonal Railways, it has not only resulted in irregular appointments but also proliferation of court cases and vigilance cases as well.
- Kindly note that such a dispensation is not available to Zonal Railways as E(P&A)I Branch of Pay Commission Directorate is alone mandated for interpretation of the Policy on LARSGESS and uniform implementation of the scheme across the Indian Railways.
