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.
