"Ministries/Departments to prepare a list of those staff coming under

Government has decided that given the rise in the pay over the years, the
recommendations of the 7th CPC to discontinue OTA for categories other than
Operational Staff and industrial employees who are governed by statutory
provisions may be accepted.
3. Accordingly, it has been decided to implement the aforesaid decision of

the Government on Overtime Allowance across all the Ministries/Departments
and attached and subordinate office of the Government of India. The following
definition shall be used to define Operational Staff.
"All non-ministerial non-gazetted Central Government servants directly

involved in smooth operation of the office including those tasked with
operation of some electrical or mechanical equipment."
4. The concerned Administration Wing of the Ministries/Departments will

prepare a list of operational Staff with full justification based on the above
parameters for inclusion of a particular category of staff in the list of
operational staff with the approval of JS (Adnm.) and Financial Adviser of the
concerned Ministry / Department.

concerned employee(s) in writing for staying back in office to attend urgent
nature of work.

b) The OTA will be calculated on the basis of biometric attendance.

c) The OTA for Staff Car Drivers should be linked with biometric system as
normally, the designated parking is allotted in the office building. However, in
cases where the parking lot is provided far from office, the Staff Car Driver
would mark his/her attendance while leaving from his office and a grace time
of not exceeding 2 hours should be allowed to cover the distance travelled after
leaving office, including the time to drop the officer and then reaching the

attendance, as normally, such officers are given facility of official transport to
attend the field work. Such officers are supposed to report in office before
proceeding to field. In cases, where officials are required to attend the field
work directly from home, they may be extended facility of official transport
from home in lieu of transport allowance and OTA may be given on the basis of
the log book of that vehicle, duly verified by their senior officers.
6. Since, the Government has decided not to revise the rates of OTA, the
rates as prescribed in this Department's OM dated 19th March, 1991 for Office
Staff, Staff Car Drivers and Operative Staff will continue to operate subject to
their fulfillment of the above conditions.
