Enhancement in the rates of various
allowances by 25% consequent upon Dearness Allowance crossing 100%: AIRF writes
to Railway Board

No.AIRF/13
Dated:

The Secretary(E),
Railway Board,
Sub: Enhancement in the rates of various allowances by 25% consequent upon Dearness Allowance crossing100%
Ref.:
Railway Board’s letter No.F(E)I/2011/AL-28/18 dated 13.06.2011(RBE No.87) and
E(P&A) I-2011/SP-1/Misc.1 dated 13.06.2011(RBE No.88/2011)
The VI
CPC in their report had recommended that certain allowances, viz. Children Education Allowance, NationalHoliday
Allowance, Daily Allowance, Washing Allowance, Breakdown Allowance, Special
Compensatory Allowance, Cycle Maintenance Allowance, Fixed Conveyance Allowance, Road Mileage
Allowance, Special Allowance to various categories of staff etc., should be
increased by 25% whenever Dearness Allowance crosses 50%, and this recommendation
was duly accepted by the Government of India.
Based on
the above recommendation of the VI CPC, these allowances have since been enhanced by 25% w.e.f.
01.01.2011, i.e. from the date, Dearness Allowance having been crossed 50%.
Now,
Dearness Allowance has crossed 100% w.e.f. 01.01.2014, there is, therefore,
gross justification that the above allowances be further enhanced by additional 25%,
as Dearness Allowance has again crossed the value of 50% after enhancement of these allowances w.e.f.01.01.2011.
The
Board are, therefore, requested to issue necessary instruction to this effect
an early date
Yours
faithfully,

MINISTRY OF Health
and Family Welfare Released Press note on the issue of denying credit basis by Private empanneled CGHS Hospitals. :
There have been reports in
the Media that private hospitals on the panel of CGHS are denying credit
facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries for delay in settlement of
hospitals bills. Lower package rates and inadmissible deductions etc. have also
been reported to be the other reasons for withdrawal of agreed cashless credit
facilities.
In this regard, the CGHS beneficiaries are advised not to be guided by such
misleading information. Delay in payments in the last quarter of the financial
year due to budgetary constraints is not a new phenomenon and the hospitals are
aware of it. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has taken special steps and
the pendency is likely to be cleared within a week. CGHS has already invited bids for
revision of package rates through a transparent tender process. The last date
for submission of bids is 10th March, 2014. Measures have also been taken to
streamline the payment related issues in the ensuing empanelment process.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will ensure that the CGHS empanelled
private hospitals continue to extend cashless /credit facilities to the
eligible CGHS beneficiaries in compliance with the terms and conditions as laid
down in the Memorandum of Agreement signed by them with CGHS. As per the
information received by the Ministry, most of the private hospitals are
continuing to extend the cashless facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries.

(1st to 3rd Quarter) Extended upto 31.03.2014 in the Case of Government
Deductors
The Central
Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had received several petitions from various
deductors requesting waiver of fee levied u/s 234E of the Income-tax Act for
delay in filing of TDS/TCS statements. It was stated that the delay was because
of certain difficulties being faced by the Government deductors for reasons
beyond their control.
On a
consideration of the difficulties being cited by the deductors, the CBDT has
decided, as a one-time exception, to ex-post facto extend the due date of
filing of TDS/TCS statements for FY 2012-13 (2nd to 4th Quarter) and FY 2013-14
(1st to 3rd Quarter) to 31.03.2014 in the case of Government deductors. This will have an effect of automatic
waiver of the fee u/s 234E so levied. However, any fee already paid by a
Government deductor shall not be refunded.
