7th CPC Recommendations and Govt Decisions on Advances
Analysis and Recommendations : As can be seen from the table above, the amount of most of the advances is quite low. With the increased salary packages provided after successive Pay Commissions, these advances have lost their relevance.
Hence, to do away with outdated provisions and thereby save on the costs involved in administering these advances, it is recommended that all Interest free advances should be abolished.
Interest-bearing Advances
Analysis and Recommendations: The present position is that meagre funds are allotted for these advances and only a few manage to avail this facility.
In fact, budget provision for all of them, except Advance for purchase of Personal Computer, has been reducing over the years.
Regarding Motor Car Advance and Motor Cycle/Scooter/Moped Advance, we are of the view that quite a few schemes for purchase of vehicles are available in the market from time to time.
The employees should avail of these schemes and both these advances should be abolished.
