Subject : Revision of monetary
ceiling of briefcase/ladies purse for official purposes-reg.
Ref. : This Association’s letter of even number
dated 31/7/2013 and Directorate memo No. 15-1/2011-GA dated 26.10.2012
Respected Madam,
IP/ASP
Association would like to bring to your kind notice that Directorate vide
letter No. F. No. 15-1/2011-GA dated 26.10.2012 has circulated revised monetary
ceiling limit for purchase of briefcases / ladies purses for official purposes
for the officers working in different capacities in Directorate. Whereas
similar situated officers working in Circles are being deprived of this
revision by Circles. Thus the old ceilings up to limit of Rs.1000/- is still in
vogue in many Circles.
IPs/ASPs who are entitled to procure
brief cases/ladies purses of their own choice from any of the private/ public
outlet are asked to purchase the same from market but thereafter given reimbursement
of Rs.1000/- whatsoever cost of the said purchase maybe. No matter even if it
does not commensurate to the market price too.
Few circles have already revised the limit as per the Directorate’s above
referred letter.
It is to
further bring to your kind notice that the issue was discussed with the then Member
(P) in informal meeting held on 23/9/2013 and he has assured that the copy of ibid
letter will be circulated amongst all circles. But despite lapse of
considerable period no step has been taken to circulate the copy of said letter
to circles / regions.
It is therefore humbly requested to your kind
honour to pass an order to all circles/regions with the direction to maintain
uniformity at all levels as per revised limit contained in Directorate letter
ibid. If needs be copy of Directorate letter dated 26.10.2012 may kindly be
ordered to circulate amongst all so that circles may not have any excuse to
adhere to the prescribed limit.
With
profound regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
