Key Details of Ad-hoc Allowance-2010

Effective date: 1 July 2010.
Covered category: Section Officers re-employed against civil posts on contract, as specified in the memorandum.

Who Was Covered by the 2010 Allowance?

The memorandum is a category-specific instruction concerning Section Officers re-employed against civil posts on a contract basis. It should not be interpreted as a general 50% increase for all Federal Government employees or all contract appointees. The employee’s re-employment status and approved contract package must be checked against the terms of the original order.

Rate and Calculation of the Allowance

The notified allowance was 50% of existing basic pay. The memorandum refers to an existing basic-pay component of Rs.24,465 within the stated package of Rs.31,500. The allowance should be calculated using the pay component and the employee’s approved contract terms identified in the official document, rather than applying 50% to the full package without checking the memorandum.

Effective Date and Duration

The allowance was made effective from 1 July 2010 and was to continue until further orders. The date of issue of the memorandum was 5 July 2010. The effective date and the issue date are therefore distinct.

Conditions of Admissibility

The allowance was subject to income tax.
Its admissibility during leave was governed by the conditions in the memorandum.
It was not admissible during posting or deputation abroad.
On repatriation, the allowance was to be determined in the manner specified in the order.
The expenditure was to be met within the existing budgetary provision.

Important Scope Note

This memorandum does not establish an across-the-board 50% allowance for all employees. Departments should verify the post, contract status, approved salary package and any applicable later instructions before allowing the benefit.
