Updated rates for kilometrage allowance, effective November 1, 1986, adjusted with pay scale and travel allowance.

A train classified as high-speed must meet specific criteria, including a minimum speed requirement, a minimum distance between terminals, and a certain percentage of the route with high speed.

Running staff working on high-speed trains and Rajdhani Express receive a trip allowance for completing their duties, with different rates for drivers, co-drivers, guards, and assistant guards.

For various purposes like leave salary, medical attendance, and education assistance, 30% of the basic pay of running staff is considered as pay.

When calculating running allowance, a special rule applies to ghat sections, which are hilly areas. For Class I ghat sections, the distance traveled is multiplied by 5, and for Class II ghat sections, it's multiplied by 3.

Running allowance is calculated differently for ghat sections due to the challenges of running trains in hilly areas. The actual distance traveled is multiplied by a factor of 5 for Class I ghat sections and 3 for Class II ghat sections.

This allowance is paid when running staff are called back to duty before completing their prescribed rest period, which varies based on the duration of their previous shift.

Guards and Drivers undergoing training are eligible for ALK at half or full rates depending on the availability of free messing.

Running staff who work a train to an outstation and return to their headquarters are required to have a minimum of 16 hours of rest if their previous shift was 8 hours or more, and 12 hours of rest if their previous shift was less than 8 hours.

Shunters and staff manning suburban services who take daily rest at headquarters must have at least 12 hours of rest if their previous shift was 8 hours or more, and 8 hours of rest if their previous shift was less than 8 hours.

The allowance is paid for every 24 hours or part thereof, starting from 'signing off' at the outstation, after a minimum rest period of 4 hours.

The allowance is calculated as overtime at a rate of 2 hours of pay for every hour of rest missed, with periods under 30 minutes ignored and periods of 30 minutes or more rounded up to one hour.

The 'Allowance in lieu of Running Room facilities' is still admissible at roadside stations even if the train does not end there.

Suburban staff working two consecutive duty periods with rest in a running room between them receive a special rest period of 12 hours if their total duty was less than 8 hours, or 16 hours if their total duty was 8 hours or more.

When cooks are not provided in the room, the 'Allowance in lieu of Running Room facilities' is paid at half the standard rate.

Running staff should not be called back to duty before completing at least 6 hours of rest, except in emergencies like accidents or breakdowns.

If a running staff member completes a short trip and is called back for fresh duty within one hour, that interval is considered running duty for calculating breach of rest allowance.

Work on ballast trains and departmental trains is considered running duty for purposes of determining the entitlement to breach of rest allowance.

The 'Allowance in lieu of Running Room facilities' is not admissible to running staff who are not sent to outstations on stationary duty.

The 'Allowance in lieu of Running Room facilities' is a specific compensation for missing running room facilities at an outstation. This is distinct from the ALK, which is calculated based on the actual kilometers travelled by the train.

The allowance ensures that running staff are adequately compensated when their rest is disrupted, ensuring their safety and well-being.

Running staff performing non-running duties at their work location (headquarters) receive 30% of their basic pay as ALK.

Running staff performing non-running duties at locations other than their headquarters receive a specific ALK rate based on their job role.

When running staff are performing shunting duties, each hour of work is counted as equivalent to 15 kilometers for calculating their allowance.

Running allowances are calculated based on the distance shown in official working timetables, using actual or computed kilometrage.

The rates shown for running staff include all duties performed from the start to end of their shift, such as engine attendance, delays, and other work related to train operations.

For shunting duties performed by running staff using shunting engines, specific rates are applied to each job role.

Running staff working on shunting engines receive specific rates for their work, which are applied after converting each hour worked (from 'signing on' to 'signing off') into kilometers.

Hilly sections of railway lines are classified as Class I or II Ghat Sections based on their steepness, with different allowance calculations.
