Sub: Extension of dead line for issuance of manual pass to Railway Employees.
Ref: Board’s letter No. PC-VII / 2020 /HRMS /6 (Part) dated 16.11.2020 and 17.11.2020 (Corrigendum) .
Please refer to Board’s letter dated 14.08.2020 (RBE No. 66/ 2020) circulating the guidelines for e-Pass / PTO module of HRMS. The dead line for issuance of physical passes was extended upto 31.12.2020 vide Board’s letter referred above and it was also communicated that from 1st January, 2021 onwards the system may invariably be shifted to e-Pass module in respect of all serving employees.
2. It has been observed that e-Pass / PTO module of HRMS has gained acceptance amongst large number of Railway Employees and nearly 2,75,000 Passes have been issued through HRMS module till date. However, it is observed that some issues have been reported from certain quarters regarding issuance of e-Pass arising out of certain technical / logistic issues resulting in delay in issue of passes and issuing tickets to employees. The complaints have largely been relating to generation of OTP as well as regarding completion of data entry in exceptional cases and also relating to acquaintance with the new mode of issuance of passes.
3. In order to increase the awareness amongst Railway Employees, various efforts have been made such as circulation of short videos relating to use of e-Pass module, issue of instructions in bilingual and vernacular languages.
4. The issue has further been examined in Board’s office and in order to avoid any hardships to the employees in availing the passes, it has been decided by the competent authority that in exceptional and emergency cases where e-Pass could not be issued due to non-completion of data entry or any other unforeseen technical problems which could not be resolved within a stipulated time frame, physical passes may be issued till 28.02.2021. However, issue of passes through HRMS module shall be given priority and issue of physical passes maybe resorted to in emergent and extraordinary situations only. While issuing the passes through physical mode, pass account of the employee in the e-Pass module may be updated invariably.
5. This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

Production Units.
Sub: Clarification regarding entitled number of sets of “Post Retirement Complimentary Passes” (PRCP) admissible to lateral entrants in Railways Service.
Ref: (i) Board’s letter No.E(W)2006/PS5-1/28 dated 18.04.2007.

In the PNM/NFIR meeting with Board, the Federation have raised an issue that lateral entrants in Railways Service, especially ex-servicemen, who have retired or ceased to be a railway servant, after having rendered more than 20 years of qualifying service (i.e. after addition of admissible past non-railway service) are not being issued entitled number of PRCPs.
2. In this context, your attention is drawn to the amendment made vide Advance Correction Slip (ACS) No.53 to Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 (Second Edition – 1993), circulated vide Board’s letter cited under Ref.(i) which provided for giving weightage only to the extent of half of the period of past non-railway service rendered by “Ex-servicemen or Central Government employees” for determining their eligibility to PRCP. The said provision was further amended vide ACS No.56, circulated vide Board’s letter cited under Ref.(ii). It provided for counting of half of the period of past non-railway service rendered by the lateral entrants in non-railway departments or establishments to determine their eligibility ot PRCP subject to the condition that the said period of past non-railway service has been counted along with the railway service for pensionary benefits. It was also made clear that the number of PRCPs of such lateral entrants shall be at par with those railway servants who have retired with minimum 20 years of qualifying railway service.
3. Furthermore, in terms of ACS No. 74, circulated vide Board’s letter cited under Ref.(iii), read with Board’s letter cited under Ref.(iv), railway employees who retired on or after 01.01.2006 were made entitled to the following PRCP facility:-
| Category | No. of PRCPs admissible in one year | |
| Group A & B | With railway service of 20 years or more | 3 Sets |
| Group C | 2 Sets | |
| Group D | 1 Sets | |
4. Accordingly, it is clarified that the lateral entrants who have retired or ceased to be a railway servant w.e.f. 01.01.2006 after having rendered 20 years or more of qualifying service (i.e. either railway service plus half of the period of past non-railway service counted along with railway service for pensionary benefits or railway service exclusively), are entitled to the number of PRCPs as stipulated in preceding para 3.
5. The Railways are advised to follow the extant provisions of statutory rules scrupulously and issue passes accordingly.
