Chairman,
CBIC, New Delhi.
Sir,
Sub: Suggestions on optimum
utilisation of 1% incentive scheme – reg.
The following suggestions made
by our All India Executive Committee on the above subject are brought to your
kind notice for issue of appropriate instructions as deemed fit:
We have already placed on record our protest regarding
utilisation of any amount towards purchase of any two wheelers, for reasons
stated in our letter in Ref. No. 09/CBIC/2020 dated 12.02.2020. With regard to purchase of cars by the
Department, instructions have been issued vide OM in F. No. 7(1)/E.Coord/2019
dated 17th September 2019 issued by the Department of Expenditure,
Ministry of Finance based on which we had in our Ref. No. 40/CBIC/2019 dated
11.10.2019 addressed to the Chairman, requested for necessary orders. Hence, it is requested that any approvals
already given, for purchase of new two wheelers may kindly be withdrawn and
purchase of new cars as per OM of Finance Ministry cited above, or under
the 1% incentive scheme, be directed to be taken up.
It is also brought to your kind
notice that there is growing resentment in the field formations that the
already available four wheelers are not properly allotted/made available for
field work. Necessary instructions may
also kindly be issued in this regard.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
(R. Manimohan)

On account of Covid-19, 1% scheme kuch time period ke liye withdraw kar li jani chahiye. It is complete wastage of money.
ReplyDeleteHiring (& now purchasing) Cars as 'operational vehicles' in the name of field work is itself a deceiving terminology.
ReplyDeleteEconomical use by pooling cars will save crores of funds, to divert for Covid-19 fight.
