Sub: Inclusion of deceased Railway employee’s widow mother in the Privilege pass of the widow appointed on compassionate grounds. (ACS No.37).

1. In terms of para 3 of Board’s letter No.E(W)96 PS5-8/2, 24.07.2000  (RBE No.142/2000), dependent widow mother of a diseased Railway employee has been allowed to be included in the widow pass as a family member of the widow.

3. Rule 2(c) of Railway Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986, Second Edition – 1993, is accordingly amended as per Advance Correction Slip No.37 enclosed.
