Compilation on Staff Strength on

PUs, Mechanical, Engineering and S&T Workshops of Indian Railways

Indian Railways one of the biggest transport provider under single management, serves the nation for years,

extending affordable and environment friendly transport to citizens of all walks of life. Indian Railways reorganise its

pay structure and staff structure at regularly intervals of 10 years to cop up with market changes and to manage the

very vast Railway network effectively.

Incentive system followed in Production Units & Workshops of Indian Railways is one of the effective

management systems in the arms of Indian Railways. Indian Railway Production Units & Workshops and the incentive

system followed by them lived for years successfully. Existence of incentive system makes both management &

working class accountable, not only for money paid, but for the performance of entire PU/Workshop.

Revision of rates of incentive is important tool in the hands of Indian Railways for effective management of its

PUs & Workshops in line with the continuous changes. IRTSA submitted exhaustive memorandum prepared with the

aim of approaching the Incentive system and revision of its rate in a scientific manner rather than approaching it with

thumb rule. To make the memorandum more reliable and accurate, information on staff strength & staff covered under

incentive as on 31.03.2018 of every PUs & workshops are collected using Right to Information Act. Many PUs &

Workshops responded with required information.
