From whom received.     Shri Basudeb Acharya.                     Ministry concerened.    Finance.

                               This house disapproves the proposal of the Government to reject the award given on 24^th November, 2005 by the Board of Arbitration in CA Reference case No. 3 of 2004 regarding revision of rates of transport allowance to the Central Government employees as the expenditure to be incurred is not going to be Rs. 1232 crores.   The increased allowance is to be given for only two months i.e. November, 2005 and December, 2005 as Transport allowance at much higher rates has already been paid from 1.1.2006 onwards.

Against Resolution No. 4694.              Text of the Counter resolution.

                               This house disapproves the proposal of the Government to reject the award given on 6.4.2004 by the Board of Arbitration in CA reference case No. 2 of 2002 regarding grant of house rent allowance to the Central Government employees for the period from 1.1.1996 to 31.7.1997  at pre revised rates but with reference to revised pay.  This is only a one time expenditure for the period of 19 months and logically to be related to the revised pay as was obtaining at the relevant point of time.  Since this expenditure will be met from the savings in the Budget under the head Salaries no diversion of any funds are to take place.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,
