Unit Certificate and Charge Certificate Allowance

		(Rs per month)
Unit Certificate Allowance	Lower Rate	225
	Higher Rate	450
Charge Certificate Allowance	Lower Rate	450
	Higher Rate	675
	Special Rate	810

A four-fold increase in the rates of this allowance has been requested.

Analysis and Recommendations

Since the allowance is already partially indexed to DA, it is proposed to raise it by a factor of 1.5. The rate of this allowance will increase by 25 percent each time the DA increases by 50 percent.
