GOVERNMENT OF ODISHASCHOOL AND MASS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT No. Lt135g SME Dated, J.-19--ll- sME-EL2-EL2-OOO3/2014 From Sri B. N. Pradhan, OAS(SAG) Additional Secretary to Govt. To The Director, Elementary Education, Odisha, BBSR. 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. HPlD:\Section-ll\RACP benef it.docx He is not eligible for any RACP benefit.
