RBE No.204/1985 Breakdown – Free Food to Officers Attending Breakdown Duties

No.E(P&A)II/85/BDA-1, dated 09.07.1985

Sub: Supply of free food to officers attending to breakdown duties at the site of accident – Rule 430-RI. 

The question of supply of free food to officers attending to breakdown duties at the site of accident at par with the non-gazetted staff has been under consideration of the Ministry of Railways.

It has now been decided that free food supplied to staff attending to the accident duties may be supplied to gazetted officers also.

No special arrangements will be made for officers separately nor will cash reimbursement in lieu of free food be permissible.

The above has the sanction of the President and issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways. Necessary correction slip to Rule 430-RI will be issued in due course.
