Government earlier orders were issued fixing the remuneration of Rs.75/- per day to the Drivers when they are asked to perform duty on a holiday and could not be sanctioned a compensatory holiday in lieu thereof.

The Tenth Pay Revision Commission has recommended for enhancement of the remuneration payable to the regular Drivers of the Government Vehicles at Rs.125/- per day. The Tenth Pay Revision Commission also recommended to pay remuneration at the same rate of Rs.125/- per day to the Roneo Duplicating Operators and Lift Operators of all the Government Department who are paid salary in a regular scale of pay.

Government have accepted the recommendation of the Tenth Pay Revision Commission and accordingly hereby order that a remuneration of Rs.125/- per day shall be paid to the Drivers of the Government Vehicles, Roneo Duplicating Operators and Lift Operators of all the Government Departments who are drawing pay in a scale of pay in R.P.S., 2015 and are required to perform official duty on a public holiday and who could not be sanctioned a compensatory holiday in lieu thereof. The form of certificate prescribed earlier may be continued to be insisted to be furnished by the concerned controlling officer as shown in the Annexure.

Government also hereby order that in case the Drivers performing the duties on a public holiday exclusively on account of a private work of an Officer the remuneration of Rs.125/- per day be paid by the Government in the first instance and later on the same shall be recovered from the Officer concerned along with the Propulsion Charges payable by the Officer. 

These orders are not applicable to those Drivers who are on a tour outside the Headquarters as they are paid Travelling Allowance and Daily Allowance for the holiday, while on tour.

These orders are applicable to all the Drivers of the Government, Panchayat Raj Bodies and also the Drivers belonging to Work charged Establishments working in Engineering Departments of Irrigation, Projects, R&B, Panchayati Raj, Public Health and Municipal Administration Departments.

All the Departments of Secretariat, Heads of Departments and all controlling officers are, therefore, requested to certify and make entries in the Log Book maintained by the Drivers of the Vehicles. The amount may be claimed in Treasury Code Form 58 (i.e.) Fully Vouched Contingent Bill. The Controlling Officers will have to append a certificate to the Bill, in which the claim is preferred (Certificate as shown in Annexure).
