But it did not give any account of expenditure tillfinancial year 2011-12 and not even the number ofbeneficiaries among whom pension was distributed.Moreover it was agreed at the beginning of Postaldisbursement of pension that in case ofnon-availability of fund, Postal Department would bebound to disburse the pension amount and PostalDepartment would claim the money from Director,Social Security later on. But this provision was alsonot abided by the Postal Department. There was aprovision of service charge of Rs. 18/- per beneficiary/ year. Service charge was duly paid to the PostalDepartment from financial year 2006-07 even thoughno account of the same was provided by the PostalDepartment. Postal Department failed to provide thenumber of accounts opened under different pensionschemes and the amount transferred to differentaccounts from 2006-07 to even 2011-12. Duringfinancial year 2011-12 the then Secretary convenedseveral meetings with Postal Department but nohigher officials turned up for the meeting regardingcontinuation of disbursement of pension through PostalDepartment. Ultimately a high level meeting underthe chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Bihar wasconvened in the month of December 2011 with CPMGBihar. But even in that meeting no body from PostalDepartment turned up. In such a situation it wasdecided to discontinue disbursement through PostalDepartment and so Pilot Project in four districts Buxar, Jehanabad, Purnea and West Champaran was taken up from January 2012 to March 2012 forcash distribution of pension at Panchayat Level. Priorapproval of the Chief Minister was obtained in January2012 for cash disbursement of pension at PanchayatLevel.

Accordingly,OMCs are procuring ethanol forblending with petrol under the EBPProgramme by floating tenders inthe open market. 2. However,OMCs have been facing constraintin inter-state movement of ethanolfor the EBP Programme due torestrictions imposed by someState Governments on inter-statemovement of Ethanol and/ orrefusal to issue storage andblending licences/ otherclearances, taxation issues etc. 3.MoPNG has been taking up thematter with State Governmentstime to time to simplify proceduresand expedite clearances related tothe roll out of the EBP Programme,in order to help OMCs achievetheir targets under the EBPProgramme. A letter was writtenin May 2011 to the StateGovernments in the EBPProgramme implementing Statesto reduce/ rationalize duties, taxesand other impediments in theprocess of supply for the EBPProgramme and to bringuniformity in procedure/ taxationpolicy in various States/ UTs onthe usage of ethanol. Thereafter,wherever the problems havearisen regarding inter-statemovement of ethanol in variousStates like, Delhi, Gujarat, UP,Bihar, Karnataka etc., MoPG hasfollowed up the matter withrespective States time to time. Inthis regard, this Ministry haswritten letters to Chief Secretariesof Gujarat Government and Delhion 15.11.2011, to BiharGovernment on 12.4.2012, toKarnataka Government on31.10.2013 and 19.05.2014 and toUP Government on 25.7.2011. 4.Recently, a letter was also writtenby AS, MoPNG to Chief Secretary,UP on 16.05.2014 requesting forrestoration of the method of givingexport permissions from quarterlybasis to annual basis for ethanolsupplies for use by OMCs.However, UP Government has notaccepted the proposal, saying thatissuing one time permission onannual basis does not seemsuitable as verification of theimport permits/ NOC receivedfrom importing State, is necessaryfor keeping check on the exit ofethanol from State on fakepermits, which may be used formaking illegal liquor which maycause loss of human life.Under Implementation

AS ON NOV 12 2014 5:11PM : The demand of thesugar mill Association is that they should be exemptedfrom verification of NOC obtained from exporter stateand they should be allowed to lift or export the wholequota on annual basis so that the supply of the ethanolmay not be delayed. According to the comments givenby the Excise Commissioner to prevent the misuse ofthe NOC obtained by the sugar mills from theImporter state, the verification of the NOC isnecessary. If the NOC is not verified the Fraudulentlifting may take place and ethanol can be used inmaking of illicit Liquor causing harm to the people.Petroleum depose are allotted Annual quota in thestate and they lift their quota from distilleries at thetime when they need. Thus exemption fromverification of NOC and allowing the sugar mills is notjustified. Accordingly Ministry of Petroleum andNatural Gas, Government of India, has been informedvide U.P. Govt.

Submitted OnStatus Action

CSC/9/8

Several State Governments such as

Assam, Bihar, Haryana, Uttar

Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Karnataka,

Kerala, Madhya Pradesh,

Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, West Bengal

and Maharashtra are levying

various State specific taxes such as

Entry Tax, Octroi, Input Tax Credit

(ITC) restrictions on VAT, which

result in increase in under-recovery

for the Public Sector Oil Marketing

Companies (OMCs) . The OMCs

along with upstream companies as

well as Government of India are

already shouldering a huge burden

of fuel subsidies in respect of HSD,

LPG and Kerosene. The overall

subsidy burden was nearly Rs. 1,

40,000 crore in the last financial

year. The OMCs have no option but

to pass on the burden to the

consumers. In order to ensure that

revenue demands of these States

do not become a burden on

consumers across the country, the

Government had introduced a

scheme of State Specific Costs

(SSC) on 24th July, 2012 to recover

such irrecoverable levies from the

consumers of the respective

State/Municipal Area levying such

state specific taxes. The consumers

in the respective State/Municipal

Area are accordingly burdened with

higher prices. 2. In order to create

a level playing field for the OMCs

operating in the concerned States

and to provide relief to the common

man, it is essential that all such

irrecoverable taxes be abolished in

the larger public interest. This

would ensure playing field for all

companies/ refineries operating in

the respective States and would

also remove the market distortions

caused by the levy of such taxes. 3.

Accordingly, Additional Security

(P&NG) vide D.O. letter dated 9th

July, 2014 has requested the Chief

Secretaries of the respective States

to consider abolition of all

irrecoverable taxes in larger public

interest. No response has been

received so far.

CSC/44/1

NACO through State AIDS Control

Societies (SACS) works with

vulnerable populations for

prevention and control of HIV.

NACO releases funds to State

Treasury for onward release to

SACS. Co-operation is needed from

State Treasury to ensure timely

release of funds to SACS. However

there is delay in release of funds by

State Treasury. This delay hampers

the implementation of key

prevention activities potentially

posing a risk to the control of HIV.

To state an example, NACO

released funds in June 2014 to all

the SACS but states like Bihar and

Jharkhand have not received funds

from the respective State Treasury

till date. Other states like Arunachal

Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh,

Haryana, Manipur, Rajasthan and

Tamil Nadu received funds after

much delay only in 2nd week of

September 2014.
