                Sub: TANGEDCO - Estatbilishment - Fixation of Pay - Excess

               payment made to the employees by erroneous fixation -                         Recovery - Instructions – Issued

                                                        --------

                Of late, it came to know that while fixing the pay as per the

     Wage Revision Settlement, Promotion, Appointment, Selection Grade

     and Special Grade etc., some erroneous fixation is being made by

     competent authorities inadvertently. Such fixations are pointed out by

     Audit after a lapse of more than five years or at the time of retirement

     of the employee. While taking action to implement the Audit Slip and

     to effect recovery, the employees are agitating and resort to legal

     remedies. The TANGEDCO has to face number of Court Cases. To

     avoid such unnecessary litigations, the following instructions are

     issued :-

i       While fixing pay to employees, utmost care should be

                taken        by the officials and wrong fixation should be

                avoided.

ii       A specific mention shall be made in all the Pay fixation

                proceedings, that if any payment made is found excess at

                a later date, it will be recovered from the employee.

iii      The Audit Branch shall conduct periodical inspection on

                the pay fixations made on Wage Revision, Promotion,

                Pay anomaly, Selection Grade / Special Grade etc., before

                expiry of 4 years from the date of such fixation and issue

                notice for recovery of excess pay if any found within the

                limitation period of five years.

iv      Conducting Audit of the Service Book of the employees at the

                verge of retirement by Audit Branch should be avoided and

                the instructions mentioned in Para- (iii) above shall be

                followed scrupulously.
