Sub:     Unbearable delay in payment of PLI/RPLI Incentive to the staff.

Respected Sir,

A Kind reference is invited to the discussions held in the RJCM meeting on 08.07.2013. In the minutes, of the RJCM meeting, it has been mentioned that the incentive bills of PLI/RPLI are being paid and the pending bills will be paid as and when the funds are allotted by the Directorate.

The department is allotting targets to the circles and the circle administration further fix the targets to the subordinate staff to procure the business of PLI/RPLI and the circle union feels that the staff who have procured the business have done a marvelous job to the department. The concerned staff deserves all appreciation for doing this work in addition to their duties.

In order to recognize their services and to encourage the department has ordered payment of incentive to the staff for procuring this business.

In HP circle, PLI/RPLI incentive bills to the tune of Rs 40 lacs are lying pending for want of funds from the Directorate to the circles and from circles to the Divisions.  We may well imagine the plight of the officials who are waiting for payment of incentive due to them. This also causes damage to the trust between the staff at the lower level and administration at the top level.

The circle union expresses its serious concern over avoidable delay in payment of incentive and solicite your kind intervention to kindly cause payment of all these bills before DEEPAWALI festival.

With regards

Yours faithfully,

[H S Guleria]

Circle Secretary
