SECTION 47 47
(3) For “Minor Works” and “Maintenance and Repairs” chargeable to the Major head “2059 Public
Works” and “2216 Housing-Government Residential Buildings”, and for works above Rs.1 lakh
and below Rs. 5 lakhs chargeable to the Major head “2059-Public Works Construction” or “2216
Housing Government Residential Building Construction”, lump sum demands should be provided
justifying the total demand for each work/sub-head. Such demands should be based on realistic
assessment of the expenditure likely to be incurred during the current financial year.
(4) In cases where such lump sum provisions are made for plan or non-plan schemes, detailed
justification should be given in support of the demands made.
47.4.11 Demand for Establishment
(1) The estimates of the funds required under the Head “Salaries” in the Budget will be framed on the
basis of trends over the preceding 3 years, taking into account other relevant factors, like changes
in rates of pay, allowances, number of posts and their filling and the economy instructions issued
by the Ministry of Finance from time to time.
(2) The Heads of Departments are to furnish the details of posts included in these estimates in order
to furnish the statement showing the “Estimated strength of establishment” and provisions thereof
to be appended to the detailed Demands for Grants. Appendix 39 may be referred to.
(3) Provisions for posts lying vacant for a long time should not be made in full, but only for the periods
these are likely to be filled up, with detailed justification and the reasons for non-filling for periods in
question. Care should be taken to exclude provisions for employees on deputation or otherwise
absent. Provision in the budget Estimates may, however, be made for vacant posts where the
Director General (Works)/Chief Engineer certifies that the filling up of the posts is essential for
maintaining the efficiency of the Organisation.
(4) The demand under “Establishment” is shown in all cases under Sub-heads (1) Salary, which
includes (a) Salary of Officers, (b) Salary of Staff, (2) Allowances (Other than Travelling allowances),
(3) Wages, (4) Travelling Allowances.
(5) Details of provision under “Establishment” should show the estimated strength in the previous,
current and ensuing years on 1st March for officers by each category/type of all posts of staff
such as supervisory staff, Assistants, Clerks, etc., and Group “D” establishment. The estimated
number of officers should indicate designation of each post and strength for which provision is
made in the Budget Estimates and Revised Estimates.
(6) These estimates should be shown distinctly (as there are separate object heads of expenditure
for grants-in-aid contributions and subsidies). Grants-in-aid to recreation clubs, including those
functioning in their subordinate offices in Delhi, will be included in the Demand of the CPWD. So
will be the case in regard to provision for subsidy to departmental canteens.
