GENERAL SECRETARY CLARIFIES ABOUT THE TREASURY ALLOWANCE

Some of our comrades are asking for clarification about the rate of cash handling allowance/Treasury Allowance

1.     As per DG (P) No. 6-1/99-PAP dated 28.10.1999, the rate of cash handling Allowance is as follows:

Upto 2 lakhs      -           Rs. 120/-

Above 1 lakhs   -           Rs. 160/-

(For Copy of the order please refer page 314 of “VENTURE” 2013 published by P3 CHQ)

2.     Consequent on implementation of 6^th CPC recommendations, all allowances are doubled and accordingly cash handling allowance is also doubled. (Copy of Government of India orders No. 4/6/2008-Estt (Pay-II) dated 01.10.2008 enclosed)click here. Accordingly the cash handling allowance is revised as follows:

Upto 2 lakhs      -           240 (120 X 2)

Above 2 lakhs   -           320 (160 X 2)

3.     Consequent on increase in DA over 50% Government has issued orders to enhance various allowances by 25% and accordingly cash handling Allowance is also enhanced by 25% with effect from 01.01.2011. Thus the revised cash handling allowance is as follows:

Upto 2 lakhs      -           240 + 25% = 300.00

Above 2 lakhs   -           320 + 25% = 400.00

(Copy of the order No. F. No. 5-06/2011-PAP dated 24.01.2012 enclosed) Click here.

4.     In the Hand Book 2014, the rates of cash handling allowance is shown as 300 & 400 as per the above orders.

Hope that doubt is cleared. Now you may settle the case if any at your Divisional level.
