Aadhaar now mandatory to get cooking gas subsidy
All LPG consumers have to furnish their Aadhaar card details by November 30 to continue availing subsidies.
 |
The step is seen as significant as there are 14 crore registered LPG users. In addition to that, oil firms will assist enrolment of consumers without Aadhaar.
If one connection per family with an average of four members is seen as the norm, the move will help target subsidies impacting more than 50 crore individuals.
The petroleum ministry issued the notification mandating Aadhaar on Monday following enactment of a new law which allowed the government to direct use of the UID number for availing of any benefits that required spending from the Central exchequer. "Care has been taken that those who do not have an Aadhaar number get time and facilities to acquire one. There are alternate IDs that will work and oil companies will provide enrolment facilities," said Unique Identification Authority of India chief executive officer Ajay Bhushan Pandey.
"Individuals desirous of LPG subsidies are hereby required to furnish proof of possession of Aadhaar or undergo Aadhaar authentication," the notification said. It also said that those who did not posses a number should visit the nearest enrolment centre. And, in areas where there are no centres oil marketing companies have been asked to provide the facility. The use of Aadhaar for LPG subsidy has not been mandated in Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir.
Till the time of Aadhaar enrolment, an individual would be entitled to subsidy if she presents a bank photo passbook or an Aadhaar enrolment slip if she is enrolled. The notification also said that other ID proofs such as a passport, driving licences, voter ID along with the request for enrolment would do. A third option is for an individual to give an undertaking that he or she is not availing of subsidy using another consumer number of any oil marketing company.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Fixation of pay and grant of increment in the revised pay structure – clarifications – regarding.
Following the notification of Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2015, this Department has received references seeking clarifications regarding various aspects of fixation of pay in the revised pay structure as also pay fixation and grant of increment in future under revised pay structure. The matter has been considered in this Department and the points of doubts are clarified as under:
1. Point of doubt: As per the provisions of FR22 (l) (a) (1), the Government servants (other than those appointed on deputation to ex-cadre post or ad hoc basis or on direct recruitment basis) have the option, to be exercised within one month from the date of promotion, to have the pay fixed under this rule from the date of such promotion/ appointment or from the date of next increment.
Some of the employees, promoted between 01.01.2016 and the date of notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 had opted for their pay fixation on promotion/financial up-gradation under MACPS from the date of their next increment in the lower grade. Consequent upon notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016 i.e. 25th July, 2016, the option submitted by such employees has now turned out to be disadvantageous. Whether such employee may be allowed to revise their option under FR 22 at this stage.
Clarification: Under the changed circumstances after notification of CCS (RP) Rules, 2016, the employee may be allowed to exercise revised option for fixation of pay under FR22(l)(a)(1), Such revised option shall be exercised within one month of issue of this 0M. Option so revised, shall be final.
2. Point of doubt: Whether employees appointed/promoted/ during granted financial up-gradation 02.01.2015 and 01.07.2015 will be entitled to grant of one increment on 01.01.2016,.
Clarification: Since the provisions of CCS (RP)Rules, 2016 are effective from 01.01.2016, no increment shall be allowed on 01.01.2016 at the time of fixation of pay in the revised pay structure.
