Sub: Payment of stipend to Station Masters
Ref.: Railway Board’s letter RBE No.74/2025 dt 25/07/2025
Respected Sir,
Union wishes to invite your kind attention to a long-pending grievance regarding payment of stipend to Station Masters appointed after March 2018 in Solapur Division.
It is reported that the stipend payable to these Station Masters was not correctly released . This non-clarity in fixation of stipend caused financial hardship and disparity among the affected employees.
The Railway Board, vide various instructions from time to time and most recently through RBE No.74/2025, has already clarified the entitlement of stipend payment to Station Masters. In light of this clear instruction, the issue of incorrect fixation and non-payment of full stipend now stands settled and necessary corrective action is required at the divisional level.
In view of the above, this Union strongly urges your good office to review and rectify the stipend payments made to Station Masters appointed after March 2018 and release the balance amount in accordance with Railway Board’s clarification vide RBE No.74/2025 at the earliest.
We request that this matter be treated on priority and with due intimation to the Union so as to extend justice to the affected Station Masters and to maintain industrial harmony in the Division.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
Rajeev Purushotam
