(a) Yes Sir. The expenditure of Rs.796.90 crore in 2006-07 was excluding
the expenditure on overtime allowance in respect of employees of Union
Territories whereas the expenditure of Rs. 1629.02 crore during year
2012-13 is including the expenditure in respect of employees of Union
Territories.
(b) The Seventh Central Pay Commission has recommended to abolish OTA
(except for operational staff and industrial employees who are governed
by statutory provisions) and in case the Government decides to continue
with OTA for those categories of staff for which it is not a statutory
requirement, then the rates of OTA for such staff should be increased by
50 percent from their current levels. Recommendation of the 7th CPC on
allowances are yet to be finalised.
