AIMS, OBJECTS & HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF IRTSA
IRTSA was formed in November, 1965, with an objective to unite & strive for better service
conditions and emoluments of the Technical Supervisors on the Indian Railways. Prior to
formation of IRTSA, there was no platform or organization to represent this vital Middle
Management Category of Technical Supervisors on the Railways. Consequently the
category had suffered tremendously at the hands of First and Second Pay Commissions due to
lack of any forum to represent them before either of these forums (set up between 1946 - 1948 & 1957
- 1959 respectively).
On November 1, 1965, initiative was taken by a group of Apprentice Mechanics & Ex-
Apprentice Mechanics of Northern Railway, Lucknow, to form an Association to represent them
at various levels. Shri Harchandan Singh – who was at that time only a third year
Apprentice of Northern Railway at Lucknow - was asked to take the lead. He
immediately toured and contacted counterparts on other zonal Railways and called them for a
meeting at ICF Chennai, in the last week of November, 1965, The meeting was attended by
representatives from each of the 9 Zonal Railways and 3 Production Units.
Finally an Association was formed on 27thNovember, 1965, at Chennai. Shri Harchandan

Singh was elected as its first General Secretary.
Association was initially named as Indian Railways Apprentice Mechanics & Ex-
Apprentice Mechanics Association. Within an year thereof, the name of the Association was
changed to INDIAN RAILWAYS TECHNICAL SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION (IRTSA), in a
historic All India Conference held at New Delhi, on 27thNovember, 1966. The Conference was
largely attended and widely publicized in the media. The Association worked in coordination with
Indian Railways Foremen Association - which was formed in 1964 and which was finally merged
with IRTSA in August, 1970 during the All India Joint Convention held at Ajmer.
IRTSA has a strong organization and has made remarkable achievements – continuously
struggling for the betterment of Technical Supervisors and Railway men at large during the last
43 years in spite of the fact hat it has not been given a ‘de-jure’ recognition. Highlights of major
achievements are enlisted on back side, But there is still a long way to go and the
struggle must go on …..

Sub: implementation of recommendations of 6 CPC- merger of grades- promotion within
the same grade pay.
th
As a result of acceptance of recommendations of 6 CPC in many cases two existing grades
have been merged in to one grade pay or posts have been upgraded & merged with higher grade
thereby affecting the existing channel of promotion of the staff. Accordingly the matter of
promotion of non-gazetted staff within such merged or upgraded & merged within same grade
pay posts has been considered and it has been decided that promotions within the merged
th
grades(i.e. from the lower grade to next higher grade of 5 CPC scales) or within upgraded &
merged in higher grade pay, should not be made herein after till further orders.
2. However, this will not apply to the cases of promotion of running categories viz. Loco Pilots
and Guards as well as horizontal promotions, wherein the existing channel of promotion will
continue till further orders.
Please acknowledge receipt.

pay subject to the condition that the Basic Pay + NPA does not exceed Rs.85000/-. Consequent
upon acceptance of recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission by the Government,
the President is pleased to decide that, in modification of this Ministry’s letter No. PC-V/97/I/7/15

25% of Basic Pay subject to the condition that the Basic Pay + NPA does not exceed Rs.85000/-.

band plus the applicable grade pay but does not include any other type of pay like special pay,
etc. In the case of Government servants in the pay scales of HAG + and above, basic pay means
the pay in the prescribed scale.
3. The revised rate of NPA would be effective from the date an employee draws pay in the
revised scale applicable to him in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Services

recognized under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 or under the Dentists Act, 1948 has been
prescribed as an essential qualification.
