L2.
Entire scheme of restructuring is to be a self-financing and expenditure neutral proposition. Financialimplicationsshould be worked out taking into account mid-valueof pay structure (level)as per pay matrix notified vide Part ?' of Ministry of RailwaysGazette Notificationdated 28.07.20t6 {RBENo. 9O/2AL6\with the Dearness Allowanceas applicableon date of effect of these orders.
!2.t
After working out the financialimplications,the matchingsavings shouldnormallybe effectedfrom the lowest grade (Constablein lgvel3) in the cadre itself, Whereverit is not found possibleto do so from the cadre itself, the matching savings can be arranged from the Departmentat the divisional/zonal level. Care may be taken before grade posts, if any, that such surrenderwill not surrenderinghigher affect promotionalprospectsof feeder grades. However,in any case, before restructuring the cadre of RPF/RPSFas per the revised percentagedistribution of posts, mltching savingswill have to be ensured. While effecting surrender of posts of equivalent financial value,only existingvacantpostsavailableon the date of effect should be considered for the purpose of off-setting the cost of restructuring/financialeffects of restructuring. There would be no restructuring without matching savingsby surrender of posts.
