be deemed to be "All Summer Stations".
Places where the average daily minimum temperature prevailing
during the whole year is 11.7 C ( 53 F) or below will be deemed
to be "All Winter Stations".

Ordinarily, summer and winter seasons are reckoned to commence on the 1 st
April and 1 st October respectively. The Ministries, etc., can, however, use
their discretion in deciding the dates from which the two seasons should be
deemed to commence; but once the dates are fixed, they should not be altered
from year to year. In no case should uniforms be supplied after the expiry of
the season for which they are intended. The life of uniforms should be
reckoned on a seasonal basis. [O.M.No.23/9/70-JCA, dated 4-12-197}. ( Also
see Para 6 of O.M. dated 12-12-2000 ).
Stitching of uniforms:
(a) The common categories of Groups ‘C’ and ‘D’ Staff eligible for supply of
uniforms may be given the required cloth (Summer and Winter ) to
enable them to have the uniforms stitched as per the laid down pattern.
[O.M.No.14/8/86-JCA, dated 9-3-1989 ].
(b) It may please be noted that the reimbursement of stitching charges at the
prescribed rates should be done only after the stitched uniforms are
produced which are duly stamped with an indelible ink at an appropriate
place on the wrong side of the stitched dress for identification. A proper
record and procedure should be evolved to ensure that the employees
produce the stitched uniforms within a reasonable period (say, one month
) after the cloth was supplied to them [ O.M.No.14/2/90-JCA, dated 2-5-
1990 and O.M.No.14/4/2000-JCA, dated 18-12-2000 ].
Proper use, care and maintenance of uniforms:
(a) The employees provided with uniforms are required to turn out in
proper and clean uniforms. Non-wearing of proper uniforms not only
attract disciplinary action but further supply of uniforms is to be
discontinued if the employee is found to be attending to his duties
without wearing uniforms regularly. [O.M.No.19/4/86-JCA, dated 13-9-
1989 ].
(b) In order to ensure compliance by individual employee, the desirability
of introducing a system of surprise check for these employees may be
considered and for this purpose an officer of an appropriate level
preferable A.M. (Admin) may be designated as Inspecting Officer for
surprise check and cases of delinquencies may be suitably dealt with by
