The Member Staff,

Railway Board,

New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Continuance of LARSGESS

Ref.: Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2015/RT-43 dated 27.10.2017

Safety Related Retirement Scheme was introduced vide Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2001/RT-2(KW) dated

02.01.2004 after lots of deliberations regarding safety of the Railways. Subsequently, while presenting Rail Budget,

Hon’ble Minister for Railways had announced on the floor of the Parliament that, Liberalized Active Retirement

Scheme would be extended and implemented by the Railway Board in a biggest perspective. The scheme has been

renamed as “Liberalized Active Retirement Scheme for Guaranteed Employment for Safety Staff(LARSGESS)”

and circulated vide Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2010/RT-2 dated 11.09.2010.


The scheme has infused new blood in exchange of old one and motivated the staff to give their best for ensuring

safety of the travelling public.


The scheme has withstood the best of time in many High Courts as well. In this connection, the judgement delivered

by Hon’ble Patna High Court on 29.06.2015(against Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.7926 of 2015, quashing the

orders of Patna CAT) may please be referred to(copy of the judgement of Patna High Court delivered is enclosed).

It is urged that, the Scheme be allowed to continue at least in the states, where either Hon’ble High Court did not

intervene or Hon’ble High Court did not intervene or Hon’ble High Court has allowed its continuance.


So, the blanket ban issued vide Railway Board’s letter under reference may please be relaxed to that extent
