No. CHQ/AIAIPASP/Misc/2013                                 Dated :           31/7/2013

To,

Ms. P. Gopinath

Director General, 
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi 110 001.         

Subject : Revision of monetary ceiling of briefcase/ladies purse for official  purposes-reg.   

Respected Madam, 

Directorate vide letter No. F.No. 15-1/2011-GA dated 26.10.2012 has circulated revised monetary ceiling limit for purchase of briefcases/ ladies purses for official purposes for the officers working in different capacities in Directorate. Whereas similar situated officers working in Circles are being deprived of this revision by Circles. Thus the old ceilings up to limit of Rs.1000/- is still in vogue in Circles. 

IPs/ASPs who are entitled to procure brief cases/ladies purses of their own choice from any of the private/ public outlet are asked to purchase the same from market but thereafter given reimbursement of Rs.1000/- whatsoever cost of the said purchase maybe. No matter even if it does not commensurate to the market price too.   

       It is therefore humbly requested to your kind honour to pass orders to all circles/regions with the direction to maintain uniformity at all levels as per revised limit contained in Directorate letter ibid. If needs be copy of Directorate letter dated 26.10.2012 may kindly be ordered to circulate amongst all so that circles may not have any excuse to adhere to the prescribed limit.         

Hoping for an early action and line in reply.  

With profound regards, 

Yours sincerely,

Sd/-
