ORDER:
The
Government of Tamil Nadu is granting various interest free and interest
bearing advances to its employees. Among them, the following loans and
advances are included under Demand 16 – Finance Department:-
Sl.
No. | Name of the Advance | Head of Account (DPC) | Interim BE
2016-2017
(Rs. in Thousands) |
| 1. | Conveyance Advance | 7610 00 202 AA | 61,00,00 |
| 2. | Computer Advance | 7610 00 204 AA | 20,05,00 |
| 3. | Other Advances:- | | |
| i. | Warm Clothing Advance | 7610 00 800 AB 0206 | 30,00 |
| ii. | Education Advance | 7610 00 800 AB 2204 | 40,00 |
| iii. | TANSI Advance | 7610 00 800 AB 3801 | 5,00 |
| iv. | Khadi Advance | 7640 00 800 AB 4006 | 1,70,00 |
| v. | Handloom Advance | 7610 00 800 AB 4104 | 25,00,00 |
| 4. | Marriage Advance | 7610 00 800 AC 0106 | 50,00 |
Except Marriage Advance, all other advances are administered by the Director of Treasuries and Accounts.
2)
In respect of Advances administered by the Director of Treasuries and
Accounts, funds are allocated based on requirement from the Heads of
Department / District Collectors. Whereas, in the case of Marriage
Advance, sanction is accorded for notional allocation of funds to Heads
of Department / District Collectors without knowing the actual
requirement. This kind of fund allocation led to under utilization of
funds by certain departments / districts and pendency of application for
want of funds in some other departments / districts. Consequently, the
huge surrender of funds occurred resulting to adverse remarks from the
Accountant General (A&E).
3) The Government, after careful
examination, has decided to streamline the administration of the
Marriage Advance scheme. Accordingly, Government direct that the
administration of the Marriage Advance Scheme be entrusted to the
Director of Treasuries and Accounts as in the case of other advances
listed above and issue the following orders:-
(i) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall be the administrator of Marriage Advance Scheme from the year 2016-2017;
(ii)
The funds provided in the Budget Estimate 2016-17 under the Head of
Account ‘7610 00 800 AC’- included in Demand 16 – Finance Department,
shall be allocated to the Heads of Department and District Collectors
based on requirement;
(iii) The Heads of Department and District
Collectors shall send their requirement to the Director of Treasuries
and Accounts and get funds for sanctioning Marriage Advance to the
Government employees under their control as in the case of other
advances;
(iv) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall be
the Estimating, Recounciling and Controlling authority for the head of
account 7610 00 800 AC;
(v) The Heads of Department and District
Collectors shall follow the existing Government Orders and instructions
governing the sanction of Marriage Advance;
(vi) The Director of
Treasuries and Accounts shall follow the usual procedures for allotment
of funds as applicable to other advances; and
(vii) The Director
of Treasuries and Accounts shall issue instructions to Heads of
Departments/ District Collectors on modalities for seeking funds to
sanction Marriage Advance.
