CAPF Ration Money

Hi I am interested in having the information about the Ration Money Allowance should be exempt from Income Tax as per the 7th CPC Report?

[sumit]

Ration Money Allowance (RMA) is paid to all work force of Defence powers and nongazetted staff of CAPFs, Delhi Police, IB, A&N police and such faculty of Indian Reserve Battalions (IRBn) as are posted in Andaman and Nicobar Islands and don't feast in the chaos. The current rate of this remittance is Rs. 95.52 every day for Non-Gazetted work force and Rs.79.93 every day for Gazetted staff.

There are requests to stretch out RMA to gazetted officers of CAPFs in accordance with Defense powers. Requests have likewise been gotten from some CAPFs that RMA ought to be exempted from the domain of wage expense.

Ration Money Allowance is changed occasionally by Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Home for their work force. Subsequently, it is recommended that the norm be kept up with respect to the rates of this recompense.

Be that as it may, with respect to the tolerability of RMA, PBORs of CAPFs and Indian Coast Guard ought to be qualified to draw RMA regardless of the spot of posting (aside from when in receipt of the Detachment Allowance). Without further ado, officers of SSB who are posted in field regions at elevations of under 7000 feet are not qualified for RMA. This confinement of 7000 feet ought to be evacuated.

As to expense exclusion of RMA, the Commission, as a component of its general methodology, has abstained from making proposals including salary charge. In any case, investigating the remarkable administration states of CAPFs, the Commission is of the perspective that since RMA is conceded in lieu of free apportions, it ought to be absolved from pay charge.

It is further prescribed that the arrangement of free proportions and the gift of Ration Money Allowance to officers of Defence powers posted in peace territories ought to be pulled back.
