Sub: Clarification regarding allowing RACP benefit in favour of the

Elementary teachers.
Sir,
I am directed to invite reference to the subject cited above and to say
that the date of entry for the purpose of RACP benefit need to be reckoned from the
date, the persons actually held the regular post irrespective of their individual scale
allowed. Their financial up-gradation after completion of the stipulated period of
service under RACP would entitle them to the scale of pay which comes in their
hierarchy. This implies that the person must have acquired the training qualification
for the entitlement for the benefits under RACP. The transition between untrained
and trained scale is not an event for the purpose of RACP. However, if the person
has been allowed any prdmotional increments at that time, the same need to be
adjusted as per para-18 of Annexure-1 of Finance Deptt. Resolution
dtd.06.02.2013.
In case of non-completlon of training qualification, the person is not eligible
for RACP benefits.
Finance Department have also further clarified with following
illustrations:-
1. A teacher is engaged in 1991 untrained in a regular post. He acquired
training qualification in 1993. RACP is to be calculated from 1991. So, he is
eligible for 1't and 2nd up gradation as on 01.01.2013.
2. A teacher engaged in 1992 untrained in a regular post. He acquired training
qualification on 2OL2. RACP is to be calculated from 1992. So, he is also
eligible for 1't and 2nd up gradation under RACPs.

 3. A teacher engaged in 1993 untrained in a regular post. He ls yet to acquire
training qualification as on 01.01.2013. He is not eligible for any RACP
benefit.
4. A teacher engaged in 1994 untrained in a regular post. He completed training
in 2Ol4 i.e. after commencement of RACPS. If such a case arises. the same
may be referred to FD for decision.
This has been concurred in by Finance Deptt. vide their UOR No.193-
PCC, dtd.24.11.2015.
Yours fai fully,
