What the order does
Government Order (Ms) No. 152, dated 11 December 2014, was issued by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department. It permits the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to increase the upper ceiling for hiring vehicles for the State Administrative Wing and State Technical Cell under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
The ceiling rises from Rs.30,000 to Rs.40,000 per vehicle per month. The expenditure must be met from the 6% administrative cost of the scheme.
Background
Earlier government orders permitted two vehicles to be hired at the state level and later allowed the State Technical Cell and Administrative Wing of the Directorate of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to hire three additional non air conditioned cars or jeeps. The earlier expenditure limit was Rs.30,000 per vehicle per month.
The existing hiring charge covered fuel, maintenance, the driver's salary and bata. Service providers requested an increase because of higher costs for fuel, spare parts, maintenance and driver salaries. The Steering Committee approved the proposed increase at its second meeting held on 10 October 2014.
