Subject: Introduction of Service Discharge Benefit Scheme (SDBS) for Gramin Dak Sevaks

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to this office letter of even no. dated 01.09.2010 on the above mentioned subject.

2. In para 3 of the said communication, the detailed course of action was laid down. The most important was obtaining options from the existing Gramin Dak Sevak and also to obtain applications in the prescribed format and so send them to concerned Central Record Keeping Agency of National Security Depository Limited for registration. But, the National Security Depository Limited has brought to notice that the following omissions are noticed in the applications of Gramin Dak Sevak sent to Central Record Keeping Agency for registration.

* 90% of the applications sent are without authorization of Divisional Superintendent (Collection centre) and designation stamp.

* The Date of birth of the Gramin Dak Sevak is found missing or wanting.

* The signature of the Gramin Dak Sevak exceeded the box provided in the application form.

* Complete address of the Gramin Dak Sevak and Postal Index code number are not furnished.

* Despite clear instructions, the beneficiaries have affixed Black and white Photo which cannot be scanned. Only colour Pass Port size photographs has to be affixed for facilitating scanning.

* The Photo affixed is not clear in certain cases, which are thus not scanable

3. This obviously shows, that, the Collection centers have not examined the applications properly and sent to Central Record Keeping Agency without proper verification, attestation, and impression of designation stamp of collection center. This is resulting in delay in launching the scheme.

4. The National Security Depository Limited is requested for returning all such defective applications to respective Collection centers for resubmission of the applications, after attending to omissions pointed out above. Suitable instructions may be issued to all the Divisional heads in this regard.

5. It is requested to accord top priority to this work.

Yours faithfully,

Interest bearing advances/Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendation on House Building Advance-enhancement in past cases-regarding

No.I-17011/2(1)/2009-H.III

Government of India

Ministry of Urban Development

(Housing -III section)

Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi.

Dated:- the 14th July, 2010

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Interest bearing advances/Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendation on House Building Advance-enhancement in past cases-regarding.

The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Ministry's O.M. No.I-17011/2(1)/2009-H.III dated 27th November, 2008 on the above subject and to say that it has been decided in consultations with Ministry of Finance to make the afore-said orders applicable with effect from 1st January, 2006. Accordingly, an enhancement of House Building Advance, if applied for, may be granted for an amount equivalent to the difference between the previously sanctioned amount and the new amount determined on the basis of pay in the pay band, in past cases, where HBA was sanctioned on or after 1-1-2006 but before 27-11-2008 subject to complying following conditions:-

(a) The Government servant should not have drawn the entire amount of HBA sanctioned under earlier orders and /or where construction is not completed/full cost towards acquisition of house/flat is yet to be paid.

(b) There will be no deviation from the approved plan of construction on the basis of which the original sanction of House Building Advance was accorded. The revised cost of the original plan can, however, be considered for determining the additional amount, subject to the prescribed maximum limits.

(c) Supplementary Mortgage Deed, Personal Bond and Sureties will be drawn and executed at the expense of the loanee.

(d) The actual entitlement will be restricted to the repaying capacity computed on the basis of the formula laid down in this Ministry's O.M. No.I-17015/16/92-H.III dated 17.10.2000. It should be ensured that the entire amount of advance with interest is recovered before retirement of the Government servant.

(e) Rate of Interest: The rate of interest chargeable in such cases would be as per the slab applicable to the total sanctioned amount i.e. amount already sanctioned on or after 1-1-2006 but before 27.11.2008 plus the enhanced sanction. However, the new rate of interest would be chargeable only on collective amount that would remain outstanding on grant of enhancement so granted. Thus, the amount of HBA that has already been re-paid on old rates will not attract the fresh interest charges.

2. However, the existing limit of maximum admissible amount of Rs.7.50 lakh for the purpose of construction/purchase of new house/flat and Rs.1.80 lakh would remain unchanged. In other words, the sum total of previously sanctioned HBA and the enhancement granted under these orders cannot exceed the aforesaid limits. In any case, not more than one enhancement is admissible to a Govt. employee.

3. The applications for enhanced HBA should be submitted within six months from the date of issue of this order.

4. Ministries/Departments whose branch offices are situated in the far flung areas like in case of Ministry of Defence, etc., are advised to give wider publicity to these orders through modern communication mean like facsimile e-mail, web-sites etc. so that there is no occasion for any representation for extending the time limits of six months on the grounds of receiving these orders late.
