covered under Human Resource Management System (HRMS), which is being developed
in CRIS as a separate project.

Mobile Number is registered in IPAS. You may register your mobile number in
IPAS through your Pay bill clerk, if the same is not registered. You may also
enquire correctness of registered mobile number through Pay bill clerk.
  
Q. Why
salary slip is made available in RESS so late?

ANS.  Salary slip is shown after salary data is frozen
i.e. after Abstract preparation, which is prepared normally in month end.
  
Q. Why RESS
Mobile App gives “Connection Error” although my Internet is properly working.

ANS.  RESS has been made available as Beta version for
Testing of functionality by Railway Employees. Currently RESS is deployed on
the same servers where Production environment of IPAS is running. To ensure
availability of services to IPAS users, RESS is sometimes stopped. As of now
around 8 lakh Railway employees are registered with RESS. To ensure 24*7
availability of RESS Mobile App, efforts are being made to deploy it on a
separate Production environment. The same may be achieved within Financial
year 2019-20.

Q. While
making New Registration, I have entered Employee Number, Date of Birth and
Mobile Number but I did not receive Verification Code (OTP). What to do?

A. As per
TRAI guidelines, subscribers have to submit his/her on time consent for
receiving SMS alerts. To register for obtaining SMS alerts, please send below

IPAS. Data in IPAS is entered/maintained by Pay bill clerk. In case of any
addition/deletion/correction, please approach your Pay bill clerk.

Q. I have updated my Mobile no. in RESS App, the
new mobile no. is showing in the bio-data section of RESS App. But,
the new mobile no.is not updated in Bio-Data under IPAS.

ANS.  Information of
Mobile Number/E-mail is available at 3 places:
i. In Bio-Data of
IPAS as updated by Pay Bill clerk. Ownership of this data lies with Pay bill
clerk.
ii. In
Profile section of IPAS, as updated by individual IPAS user for making his/her
User ID secure (OTP enabled).
iii. In
RESS, as updated by individual rail employee as RESS user.
Purpose
of all the 3 places is different and therefore it has not been combined.
