In this regard, an Office Memorandum had been issued by Ministry of Finance in accordance with Para 8.2.5 of the Report of the 7th CPC wherein it was mentioned that any allowance not mentioned in the Report (and hence not reported to the Commission), shall cease to exist immediately. This order shall apply mutatis mutandis in Ministry of Railways also.
3. In this regard, it is advised that payment of any allowance not mentioned in 7th Central Pay Commission’s Report or Ministry of Finance’s Resolution dated 06.07.2017 shall be stopped with immediate effect and any payment that has been made inadvertently, recovery may also be made w.e.f. 01.07.2017, date of such payment being made.
