Study Notes
Foreign Service and Deputation
- Transfer restrictions: Railway servants cannot be transferred to foreign service without specific authority, except for transfers to wholly/substantially government-owned bodies. Transfers outside India require Presidential approval.
- Transfer criteria: Transfers to foreign service are only permitted if the duties are suitable for a railway servant and the servant holds a specific post or has a lien on a permanent position (or would have had one if not suspended).
- Foreign service during leave: If a railway servant is transferred to foreign service while on leave, their leave status ends, and they no longer receive leave salary.
- Promotions in foreign service: Railway servants in foreign service maintain their cadre/s; the competent authority may award promotions based on the nature of their foreign service work. This does not prevent promotions in other roles within the governing body.
- Remuneration from foreign employer: Railway servants in foreign service receive pay from their foreign employer. Joining time and pay-related details are determined by the transfer-authorizing authority and the foreign employer.
- Government of India's decision on foreign service remuneration: The nature of remuneration is specified in the transfer order. Any additional benefits (e.g., allowances) must be explicitly mentioned; unspoken or un-specified allowances are not permissible.
- Foreign Service Contributions: Foreign service contributions for pension are paid to the government. If in India, leave salary contributions are also included. Foreign employers can, optionally, handle these payments.
- Rates of Contribution: The rate of pension and leave-salary contributions are determined by Appendix I. These are designed to reflect the service conditions the servant could have earned in a domestic role.
- Railway servant's transfer to foreign service: Any transfer is communicated to the Accounts Officer. The railway servant informs the Accounts officer of the transfer (including dates) and all transfers of duties undertaken.
- Foreign service and leave: Foreign service leave is subject to the rules of the originating service; it does not generate leave entitlements from the foreign employer.
- Payment by Foreign Employer of Pension or Gratuity: Railway servants cannot accept pensions or gratuities from foreign employers for their foreign service, without Presidential permission.
- Rules regarding Leave: Railway servants' leave during foreign service is governed by the rules applicable to their parent service (domestic), and they cannot receive leave salary from Government unless work is formally relinquished.
- Reversion from foreign service: A railway servant rejoining domestic service does so on the date of rejoining their post; if on leave, the return date may be decided by the governing body.
- Contributions withholding: For foreign services, contribution may not be withheld, regardless of duration.
- Railway Travelling Allowance: Foreign employer covers travelling allowance to and from the foreign service and on subsequent return.
