Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi,
Dated . 29.06.2018.

Subjec : Interest bearing advances / Seventh Central Pay commission recommendation on House Building Advance – enhancement in past cases regarding.

            The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Ministry’s OM No. I-17011/11(4)/2016-H.III dated 09.11.2017 on the above-mentioned subject and to say that it has been decided in consultation with Ministry of Finance to make the aforesaid orders applicable with effect from 1st January, 2016. Accordingly, it has been decided that an enhancement of House Building Advance, if applied for, would be granted to government employee for an amount equivalent to the difference between the previously sanctioned amount and the new eligible amount determined on the basis of basic pay as per 7th CPC, in past cases, where HBA was sanctioned on or after 01.01.2016 but before 09.11.2017 subject to complying following conditions:

            a) The Government employee 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 OM No I-1701/1/11(4)/2016-H.III dated 09.11.2017. 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 will be at 8.50% from the financial year 2017-18 onwards. This will be reviewed every three years to be notified in consultation with Ministry of Finance. However, the new rate of interest would be chargeable only on collective amount that would remain outstanding on grant of enhancement of HBA. i.e., the unpaid portion of previously sanctioned HBA plus the 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. 25 lakhs for the purpose of construction/ purchase of new house/ flat and Rs. 10 lakhs for expansion of existing house/ flat would remain unchanged. In other words, the sum total of previously, sanctioned House Building Advance and the enhancement granted under these orders cannot exceed the aforesaid limits. In any case, not more than one enhancement is admissible to a Government employee.

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

4.         Ministries/ Departments with branch offices in the far-flung areas are be advised to give wider publicity to these orders through modern communication means so that there is no occasion for any representation for extending the time limit of six months on the grounds of late receipt of these orders.

5.         This issues in supersession of all the earlier orders on the subject.

Dak Bhawan,

          New Delhi - 110001

Sub: - Regarding CSI problems after roll out  in RMS Divisions.

Respected sir,

                      It has been brought into the notice of this  CHQ that after the implementation of CSI in RMS Divisions, staff is facing the following problems:-

1. Slowness of software SAP IPVS - It is learnt from rolled out RMS Divisions roughly not more than 500 article scanning per hour instead of 1200 per hour in local based speed net system. The existing norms are not suitable in changed environment of SAP IP\IS due to the slowness of software. The required manpower may please be provided to cope up of work.

2. Bandwidth upgradation:- It is learnt that some Divisions send their upgradation request but not yet further any up gradation of bandwidth received from higher authority. While upgrading the bandwidth actual utilization of infrastructure i.e. nodes and workload may be considered no office should be dislocated for want of required bandwidth.

3. Loss of connectivity - While mail office set functioning in some interval loss of connectivity it may be due to server down or Sify link down or lack of enough number of SAP servers

4. Outsider issues. — Your honour is well aware that our circle is facing acute shortage of manpower and hence some outsiders/college students are bring utilized to cope up with the workload. But in CSI there is no provision of user ID and password provided for article scanning in SAP IPVS in respect of Outsiders/College students due to no specific instructions from Directorate

  for job allocation to outsiders. Hence immediate provision for temporary user ID and password may he provided to outsiders/college students for SAP IPVS operational work only and authority may be given to concerned divisional head.

      In this regard, it is  brought to notice of your honour that in rolled out offices the password and username of regular employee & i.e. who are working at DO, HRO, SRO and MTS official is given to outsiders for working on IPVS software which is highly objectionable and it is very difficult to fix any responsibility in case of any misappropriation done by outsiders. When officials are not performing duty in office or on leave may also utilize by outsiders while working in mail offices and it is very risky. The service matters like financial matters leave cases, transfer, GPF etc. are also linked with the IPVS software.

5. SAP Support — At some time SAP connectivity not supported due to maintenance at a central server or any other reason. Due to non-intimation of schedule of maintenance to concerned RMS mail offices, all manpower is being become idle and the staff is required to stay wait and watch under tension for the SAP connectivity mainly working during night set need the proper support of SiIS’ network, SAP server. It is therefore requested to your honour kindly intimate schedule of maintenance of central server so as to enable proper arrangement of manpower by the HRO/SRO.

6. The earlier software’s are working offline but IPVS software operated online hence the work is being disturbing while low speed or non-receipt of connectivity from Sify network/ SAP connectivity and during SAP maintenance period. It is therefore again suggested to please do the needful possibility of operation of software offline to avoid dislocation of work for want of connectivity or other reason to avoid loss of revenue and our valuable customers.

7. In some RMS Divisions bills including salary has not been paid  being non CSI unit and staff of HOs do not know how to process the bills of non CSI units.

       We urge upon you to look ito the above mentioned problems and also direct all the CPMsG to look into these problems at their end so that the staff may work smoothly

                             With regards

Yours sincerely,

(Giri Raj Singh)
