As per the
recommendations of the Expert Committee, DoPT vide its OM No.
142/15/2010-AVD-I dated 31st July 2012 revised the rates of honorarium
and other allowances payable to IO both serving and retired officers and
PO (serving).
"The honorarium is
normally regulated under the financial powers delegated to the
Ministries/Departments and taking into account the quantum of work
involved in individual disciplinary cases".
While deciding the
representation of one of the IO (Retired) in connection with inordinate
delay in sanctioning honorarium it was intimated by Directorate that
Nodal Ministries ibid letter was sent to all concerned for information
and necessary action vide memo No. C-32016/12/2011 dated 8.1.2013. It is
further mentioned that neither it has the approval of the Finance Wing
nor can it be implemented without revising the powers of the Heads of
the Circle and Secretary (Posts). The aforesaid letter was circulated to
all concerned for enabling them to submit proposal for revision of the
financial powers of the Heads of Circle for grant of honorarium to IO
and PO vide para 2 of the annexure-I enclosed with the letter.
In view Directorate's above reply, it is clear that revised rates of honorarium to IO/PO for conducting of departmental enquiries are not put into implementation.
