(ii) ECR letter No. ECR/ADM/ARB/Policy/001, dated 11.02.2019

ECR vide letters under reference has sought clarification whether the arbitration fee as per ‘THE FOURTH SCHEDULE’ of ‘The Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Act-2015’, as sometimes claimed by retired railway officers appointed by Railways as arbitrator(s) is payable or the arbitrator is entitled only for fee fixed by Railway Board from time to time.

The issue has been examined in consultation with Legal Advisor and Finance Directorate of Railway Board. It is reiterated that fixing of fees and emoluments payable to retired railway officers appointed by Railways to act as arbitrator(s) is well within the powers of the Railway Administration. Accordingly, the fees and emoluments payable to arbitrator shall be as fixed vide Railway Board’s letter No. 2009/CE-1/CT/14/Main, dated 01.04.2019 and its subsequent amendments.
