CHAPTER – 5

PHYSICAL VERIFICATION OF STOCK AND CASH

 

5.1.      PHYSICAL VERIFICATION OF STOCK AND CASH:          Physical verification of stock and cash in all the Centres to ascertain actual physical position of stock and cash held at the Centre is another important feature for proper management of the Trading Scheme. The physical verification of Stock and cash shall be conducted  simultaneously at least once in a year preferably during the month of December or January each year as the stores held at various Godowns under the Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs are of perishable items.        

The physical verification shall be conducted by the concerned Area Inspector or any other responsible Officer of the Department authorised by the concerned DCSO. However, cent percent weightment of the entire stock of commodities may not be required. Weightment of 5 to 10 of the standard bags shall be made and the remaining bags in the Godown shall be counted without disturbing the entire stack as far as practicable. However, if the verifying officer felt it necessary, cent percent weightment may be conducted. The result of such verifications shall be submitted to DCSO concerned with a copy to the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, in Form No.2 of  Schedule – B in case of stock and in Form No-4 of Schedule – B  in case of cash after the verification is completed, and all the reports shall reach SDF&CSO/DCSO and Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs within the month of February every year. The DCSO in his turn will examine the verification report and take necessary action or submit proposal for taking necessary action to the DFCS&CA as deemed necessary within two months positively from the date of receipt of the   verification report.

 

5.2.      INSTRUCTION FOR PHYSICAL VERIFICATION:   While conducting physical verification of stock and cash, the following instruction shall invariably be followed:-

 

i)    Verification shall always be made in the presence of Officer-in-Charge of the centre or responsible person entrusted by him. Result of all physical verifications must be recorded in all the stock or cash register/books so verified over the signature of the verifying Officer.

ii)  All discrepancies noticed shall be reflected into the Accounts immediately so that the store account may represent the true state of the Store.

iii) Shortages and damages, if any, shall also be reported at once to the Director, FCS & CA for early action for fixation of responsibility and for early disposal of the damaged commodities.

iv) If some portions of the stock are found in loose bags, weightment of the same shall be taken cent percent and packed in fresh bags properly (In practice there will be no loose bags. As and when such circumstances arise, the Officer-in-charge of the Godown shall place an indent for empty gunny bags to his immediate superior Officer or SDF&CSO or DCSO or Director, Food Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs as the case may be, and pack those stock of loose bags into new bags). If some portion of the stock is found deteriorating, such stock shall be packed properly and separated from rest of the stock.

 

 

 

v) A general view of various registers and records maintained at the Centre shall also be undertaken while conducting verification specially in respect of cash so as to ascertain that foodstuffs are sold at the rate fixed by the Government from time to time and the sale proceeds realised in full from the purchaser and that cash is not retained in the hand of the Officer-in-charge of the Godown but are immediately deposited into the Treasury or to the Bank and no foodstuffs are issued on credit except after obtaining prior  permission from Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs.

vi)  The purpose of physical verification of stock is not only to ascertain the actual position of stock and cash held in the Centre but also to ensure that the procedure actually followed in the centers are in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the Manual, orders and instructions issued by DFCS&CA and by the Government are strictly followed.

vii) Any failure to conduct physical verification of stock and cash in the centre and non-   submission of physical verification reports within prescribed period will be treated as failure to perform the task assigned to the official within the time so stipulated for the purpose and shall be deemed to be lack of devotion to duty within the meaning of clause (ii) of sub-rule (i) of Rules 3 of CSS (Conduct) Rules 1964.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER-6

SALES OF FOODSTUFFS

 

 

6.1.      Appointment of Retailers:    The actual sale of foodstuffs and other essential commodities to the consumers shall be made only to the Family Ration cards holders issued to them by the respective District Civil Supplies Officers through retailers appointed exclusively for the purpose at their Fair Price Shops as per scale laid down by Director, Food Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs from time to time. In towns and big villages where there are large numbers of consumers (Ration card holders), more than one Retailer (Fair Price Shop Dealer) may be appointed for convenience of the consumers in lifting their entitled quantity of foodstuffs. In average one Retailer may be appointed for each 500-600 Rations Cards. Appointment of Retailer shall be made by invitation through public notice by DCSO concerned and selection of the applicants shall also be made by the DCSO. Retailer or Fair Price Shop Dealer shall be appointed for two(2) years from the date of issue of the appointment order and no extension shall be allowed without prior approval of the Director, FCS & CA.  Terms and conditions for appointment of Retailers (Fair Price Dealers) are laid down in the specimen Agreement form (to be executed with the Retailer) appended at Annexure - IV.

 

6.2.      Checking sale accounts of Retailer:  When sales are made through Retailers, District Civil Supplies Officers shall get the sales account of the Retailer verified with the entries recorded in the Ration Cards by checking at least 10% of the Ration Cards allotted to him, once in every quarter of the year to ensure that no malpractice is adopted by the Retailer in the sale. This job is to be done by the Area Inspector attached to the District Civil Supply Officer/SDF&CSO. Such verification reports shall be sent to the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs every month specifying the number of Fair Price Shops checked during that month in the District and copies of Verification Reports shall also be attached to such monthly return. In places where suitable Retailer can not be appointed due to some reasons, sale of foodstuff and other essential commodities may be made directly from the Government Godown after obtaining prior permission of Director, FCS & CA and observing all the required formalities.

 

6.3       Fixation of Retail issue price: Sale of foodstuffs and other essential commodities from Government Godowns shall invariably be made on pre-payment basis at the price fixed by Director, Food, and Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs from time to time. Previously the retail issue price of foodstuff was controlled by Govt. of India under the Policy of Integrated Tribal Development Programme (ITDP). However, such control was partially lifted by Central Govt. under the guidelines for implementation of “Targeted Public Distribution System” by lifting control over fixation of retail issue price in respect of APL families only, but fixed Rs.0.50 paisa per kg as marginal amount in case of BPL family by the said guideline. Thereafter, Govt. of India, Ministry of’ Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, in its letter No.6 (4)/2001-PD. I dt.6th Aug/2001 lifted its control over the price of BPL also, and requested the State Govt. to limit the margin to the actual expenses to avoid undue burden on the BPL Card - holders. This does not apply in case of AAY families (Annexure-III). In fixing prices of the PDS items, guidelines and instructions of the Central Government and the principle of ‘NO PROFIT NO LOSS’ shall always be followed.

 

 

 

 

6.4       Pre-payment of cost of Foodstuff:   In places where Treasury facility are available, payment shall be insisted through Treasury Challan and where there is no Treasury, the purchaser shall deposit the cost of foodstuff to the Bank situated at the centre and produced the Bank pay-in-slip instead of the Treasury Challan. Where neither Treasury nor Bank facilities are available, payment shall be received in cash. In such cases, the sales proceeds so collected by the centre in-charge shall be deposited into the nearest Treasury or Bank without delay. All sales proceeds pertaining to a month shall be deposited to the nearest Treasury or Bank during the month it was collected. In no case, sales proceeds pertaining to the previous month shall be carried over to the next month. Unnecessary retention of Govt. money (SSP) outside Govt. accounts shall be treated as misappropriation of Govt. money.

6.5.      Delivery Order :        Retailers or purchasers shall collect commodities from godown against Delivery Order in Form No -3 of Schedule ‘A’ only. Delivery order shall be prepared and issued by District Civil Supply Officer in District Headquarters and by SDF&CSO in Sub-Division Headquarters and senior-most executive officer of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department who is in-charge of the centre where neither DCSO nor SDF&CSO is stationed. Director of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs will also issue Delivery Order whenever necessity arises. In all cases, Delivery Order shall be issued only after receipt of Treasury Challans or Bank Pay-in-slip or cash from the Retailer or purchasers. In no case, credit issue of Foodstuff shall be made from the Godown without obtaining prior permission in writing, of Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs.

6.6.      Procedure for handling sale proceeds: (i)   All Officers-In-Charge or any official in the Supply Godowns or Centres receiving sale proceeds of any items shall maintain Printed Cash Book in Form T.R. 4 and record or enter all monetary transactions in the Cash Book on the same day commodity-wise and attested the entry in the Cash Book as token of check.

            (ii)        The Cash Book shall be closed regularly and completely checked by verifying the totaling of the Cash Book balance.

CHAPTER – 7

DETERIORATE OR DAMAGE OF STORES

 

7.1.      PROCEDURE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF DETERIORATED OR DAMAGED STORES: Under the State Trading Scheme, the Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs is dealing with perishable items of foodstuffs in its trading under  Targeted Public Distribution System which has to run on the principle of ‘No profit No loss basis’. Since such items can easily deteriorate or be damaged due to various reasons such as long storage, rain water and other natural calamities, etc., early disposal of damaged commodities is very important to prevent heavy loss that the State Govt. may sustain in its Trading. Therefore, the following procedure shall be followed for early disposal of damaged Foodstuff.

(a)        First of all, reasons of deterioration or damage must be established. If the damage of foodstuff is caused by negligence of duty on the part of an Officer-in-charge of the Godown, responsibility must be fixed upon such Govt. Servant so far as the damage was attributable to him/her.

(b)        As soon as deterioration or damage of stock is detected, the same must be separated from rest of the stock and the exact quantity of the damaged commodities must be ascertained. If the commodity appears to be unfit for human consumption, Officer-in-Charge of the Godown will submit report in Form No.5 of  Schedule - B  to  the  DCSO  concerned. And entry shall also be made in the deteriorated Register Schedule – A  (Form No.9) by Officer-in-charge of the Godown.  The DCSO in his turn will sent Officer not below the rank of IFCS to check or verify and to ascertain the correctness of the report. If DCSO is satisfied with the report of IFCS, he will request C.M.O. or Medical Officer to check and obtain Certificate if the damaged stock appears unfit for human consumption. If the stock is found to be unfit for human consumption, the District Civil Supply Officer will refer to Vety Officer to examine whether the stock is fit for animal consumption and to issue certificate accordingly. The damaged stock will be the responsibility of Officer-in-Charge of Godown if not caused by natural calamities.

(c)        Even if it is established that the damage of foodstuffs was due to negligence on the part of the Officer-in-charge, the above procedure shall be followed for early disposal of the damaged commodities. If the responsibility is fixed upon any Govt. Servant due to his/her negligence of duty etc. the entire cost of the damaged commodity shall be recovered from the responsible official after deducting any amount recovered from sale of the damaged commodities. In fixation of the responsibility upon the Govt. Servant, the authority shall consider duration of storage of the Commodities, whether the Officer-in-charge of the Godown followed the principle of first in and first out in issuing foodstuffs from his Godown and if not followed, what are the reasons of not following the principle of first in and first out, whether the damage was caused by natural calamity such as fire, cyclone, flood, heavy rain etc. which may be beyond the control of the custodian and if so, whether the report of such incident was submitted immediately to the higher authority; if not, what is the reason?

(d)       When a report of damage of foodstuffs is received from the Officer-in-charge of the Godown by the Office of DCSO concerned, the DCSO shall make investigations immediately to find out the reasons and he shall bring the matter to the Director, FCS & CA for consideration in the Departmental Committee. The DCSO/ Member-Secretary of the Departmental Committee shall prepare agenda notes as per Govt. Notification Vide.G.25015/2/99-EAPF dt. 19.11.1999 at Annexure-V. If the Committee is also satisfied with the report and recommended for the disposal of such damaged commodities, the proposal along with the minutes of the Committee shall be submitted to Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs. All these process in the Office of DCSO must be completed within one month from the date of receipt of such report from the Officer-in-charge of the Godown.

It is the responsibility of Accounts Wing of Directorate to take up the matter.

 

7.3.      DECLARATION OF DAMAGED STOCK AS FIT OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN AND ANIMAL CONSUMPTION:    Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs being the Controlling Officer of the Public Distribution System in the State of Mizoram, shall declare condition of the the damaged commodities. If it is unfit for human consumption but fit for animal consumption, the Director will issue permission to the DCSO concerned for early disposal of such damaged commodities by public auction. Auction of the damaged commodities shall invariably be attended by DCSO or his authorised Gazetted Officer to record the final bid. If the entire commodities are found to be unfit for both human and animal consumption, the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs will issue permission to destroy all such damaged commodities and the value of destroyed commodities shall be written off by obtaining sanction for write-off from Government. Destroy of such commodities must invariably be witnessed by DCSO or his authorised Gazetted Officer and a report must be submitted immediately thereafter to the Government through the Director, FCS & CA.

 

7.4.      SUBMISSION OF AUCTION REPORT TO DFCS&CA:         DCSO should submit report of the auction in form Schedule – B (Form No.6) to Director, Food, Civil  Supplies & Consumer Affairs within one month from the date of auction, informing the total amount received and the Treasury Challan No. & Date by which the sales proceeds was deposited and the difference between book value and the value realized from sales in public auction so as to enable the Directorate to move sanction for write-off of the differential cost of auctioned  commodities.

7.5.      DAMAGED FOODSTUFF SHALL NOT BE DISPOSED OFF WITHOUT SPECIFIC PERMISSION: No deteriorated or damaged commodities shall be disposed off without specific order of the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs even after all the reports along with necessary Certificates are submitted.

CHAPTER – 8

LOSSES AND SHORTAGE OF FOODSTUFFS

 

8.1.      LOSSES AND SHORTAGE OF FOODSTUFFS:           Trading Scheme of the Government is being run in the principle of ‘NO PROFIT NO LOSS’. The Government intends neither to earn any profit out of the investment made for operation of the Scheme nor to incur any loss under it. While fixing the Retail Issue price of the commodities for sale, no provision is kept for adjustment of any loss. In view of this, utmost care is required to be taken at all levels to avoid incurring any loss under the scheme. However, from practical experience it is seen that some element of loss cannot be avoided. Various types of losses, that are likely to be incurred in implementation of the Scheme, are dealt with in the subsequent paragraphs.

8.2.      CATEGORIES OF LOSSES:         Losses under the scheme can broadly be divided into three categories, viz. (i) Transit Loss (ii) Losses due to deterioration and long storage and (iii) Losses due to other reasons such as sabotage, fire, theft etc. Actions to be taken in respect of these three types of losses are not same. The differences are indicated in the subsequent paragraphs.

8.3.      TRANSIT LOSS:     The Transit Loss is detected at the time of receiving the commodities in the Godowns. The actual difference between the quantity despatched and the quantity received is the quantity lost in transit. This can be found out by checking the quantity despatched as entered in the Despatch challan after deducting the quantity actually received by weightment at the time of delivery of the commodity in the Godown. For adjustment of Transit Loss, action is to be taken in the line with the provision incorporated in Paragraph 7 of the Agreement Form used for execution of contracts made with the carrying contractors, the specimen copy of which is appended as Annexure-II. However, for convenience, an extract of the paragraph is given below:

“In addition to the realization of the actual cost of the quantity damaged or lost while the stock is in the custody of the contractor or in transit, the contractor shall be liable for payment of penalty as detailed below :

(a)        Rice and foodstuffs other than Sugar

i)          For loss of 0.5% or below                               Actual Ex-Godown issue price.

ii)         For loss above 0.5% and upto 1%                  Actual Ex-Godown issue price plus 100%                                                                                         of the same penalty.

iii)        For loss above 1% and upto 5%                     Actual Ex-Godown issue price plus 125%                                                                                                     of the   same as penalty.

iv)        For loss above 5%                                           Actual Ex-Godown issue price plus 150%                                                                                                     of the same as penalty.

(b)       Sugar: Actual cost of Sugar as per Ex-Godown issue price in Mizoram plus 100% of Ex-Godown issue price of Sugar in Mizoram as penalty. Hence adjustment of Transit Losses is to be made accordingly”.

            In the past, it has been experienced that when any consignment was  damaged or lost while the foodstuff was in the custody of the contractor i.e. in transit the contractor used to escape or tried to escape the penalty on the plea that case was under Police investigation or was under active consideration of the Court. Even in such cases payment of penalty due to the damage or losses while in transit shall be imposed upon such carrying contractor. If the Court exonerates such contractor from the liability of the losses, the Department may have to refund if the Court directs the department to do so.

 

 

8.4. (i)  STORAGE LOSS :   It is observed that loss of weight of grain occurs mostly during the first stage of storage after harvest. As mentioned earlier, all purchases under the Trading Scheme are normally made from the Food Corporation of India, whatever stocks are purchased and sent for storage in Godowns have already passed the initial stage of storage before these are purchased from the FCI; hence there is little scope for further shrinkage in Godowns. From past experience it is seen that the storage loss due to shrinkage in different godowns does not occur at uniform rate. There are wide variations in the percentage of shrinkage loss in different godowns even among the foodgrains belonging to the same consignment. Because of this, it is not possible to lay down any norm for accommodation of this type of loss under the scheme, individual cases shall be decided case wise on merits. To maintain uniformity in all cases of this nature within the State, the write off proposal shall be initiated as soon as the actual loss is detected by conducting cent percent verification of stock, clearly explaining the circumstances under which such losses take place. It is very important for all Officers and staff, engaged in the operation of the scheme that adequate care shall be taken for proper storage of commodities in the Godown and losses do not occur due to carelessness and negligence of duty.

(ii)        If there is availability of Food Grains to be procured locally under the scheme for the coming years, the percentage of admissible loss due to shrinkage will be laid down with the approval of the Government, by the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs after examining the system followed in the neighbouring states falling within the same climatic zone.

(iii)       Another category of storage losses that may occur are due to long storage, bad condition of Godown and also due to drainage, insect, pests and rats etc.  There may not be no heavy losses under this category if the commodities are issued following the principle of first in and first out and the custodian of the store looks after those commodities as per procedures laid down in this Manual. If there is storage losses under  this  category,  the  same  shall  be  entered  in  the  shortage  Register in Form No. 5 of Schedule-B  and a report giving details of losses indicating total quantity losses and the actual reasons of such losses shall be submitted immediately by the Officer-in-charge of the Godown  in Form No. 4 of Scheduled-B to the DCSO concerned with a copy to Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs. As soon as report of storage loss is received at the Office of DCSO, the matter shall be taken up immediately by conducting on the spot investigation to ascertain the correctness of the losses and its reasons by a responsible Gazetted Officer.

            When report of such investigation is received at the Office of DCSO from the investigation officer and if the DCSO is satisfied with the finding, he shall at once submit the agenda notes for write off of such loss to the Departmental Committee in which he is a Member Secretary and thereafter submit the proposal for write-off to the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs with all the reports along with minutes of the Committee.

            Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs is empowered to consider and declare storage losses considering merits and demerits of the reasons for the losses as indicated below :-

(e)        0.2% in transit centres/SDCs/PDCs where total annual receipt of foodstuff is between 5001 Qtls. and 50,000 Qtls. but total loss shall not exceed 75 Qtls per year.

            (f)        0.05% in transit centres/SDCs/PDCs where annual receipt of foodstuff is above 50,000 Qtls., total loss shall not exceed 40 Qtls. per year.

8.5.      (i)         LOSSES DUE TO SABOTAGE, THEFT, FIRE, FLOOD, CYCLONE OR ANY OTHER NATURAL CALAMITIES :          In respect of losses under these categories, the Officer-in-charge of the Godown shall submit the first information report as soon as possible in the fastest manner of communication to DCSO concerned with a copy to DFCS&CA. If the report is submitted by W/T Messages etc. formal report in detail shall follow such report immediately. If the losses are due to sabotage or theft, first information report(FIR) shall be submitted to the nearest Police Station for investigation irrespective of quantity involved and copy of such FIR should be given to DCSO            concerned and Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs. The Officer-in-charge of the Centre/Godown shall ascertain actual quantity of such losses and the quantity shall not be deducted unless and until formal write off order is received from the Director, FCS&CA. Once a report is submitted to the Police, it is the duty of the Officer, who submits the report, to obtain a formal investigation report from the Police. The Officer-in-Charge of Godown shall, within 30 days after he receives verdict of the Court, submits his report along with proposal for write-off of the value of the loses under this category to the concerned DCSO with a copy to Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs. Copy of the Court verdict shall be enclosed in the proposal.

(ii)        When a report of losses of this kind is received at the Office of DCSO, the matter shall be properly investigated by a responsible Gazetted Officer not below the rank of ADS/ SDF&CSO. When such investigation report is received from the investigating Officer and if satisfied with the report, the DCS0 will prepare agenda notes for write-off and submit the same to Departmental Committee for consideration and thereafter proposal along with all necessary documents for taking necessary action shall be submitted to the Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs immediately. All these initial process shall be completed within 3 (three) months from the date of occurrence of such incidents. As such all the Officials connected with this process shall not delay the matter unnecessarily and shall stick to the time frame for each stage.

8.6.      LOSSES DUE TO SHORTAGE :  The custodian of  godown is responsible for any shortage of commodities stock at the Godown detected as a result of handing over of charge or physical verification of stock, due to the reason other than losses mentioned at the preceding paras of this chapter, and responsibility shall be fixed accordingly. When shortage of stock or cash is detected, the same shall be reported to the DCSO concerned, with a copy to the DFCS&CA who will take appropriate necessary punitive action according to quantity of the shortage. Shortage of sale proceeds and commodities detected at the time of handling/ taking over charge of Godown shall be the sole responsibility of the Relieved Officer.  Shortage report on sale proceeds of commodities submitted after handling over of Godown will not be entertained.  If value of the loss due to shortage is below Rs.1, 00,000 (Rupees one lakh) only, the DCSO concerned may take action in fixation of pecuniary liability and for full recovery of the losses from his end with a copy to DFCS&CA.

 

8.7.      LOSSES OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY :         Any serious loss of immovable property such as buildings etc. caused by fire, flood, earthquake or any other natural cause, shall be promptly reported by the Officer-in-charge of the Centre to the SDF&CSO/DCSO who will in turn report to the Director, FCS&CA. Such incident must also be reported to the nearest Police Station by filing First Information Report (FIR).

8.8       RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES : Whenever losses occur to the  commodities stocked at Govt Godown, the authority dealing with the losses shall examine  whether the losses was facilitated by laxity of supervision on the part of superior Officer or the losses was owing to negligence, fraud. etc. on the part of an individual Govt. Servant. If it is established that such losses was due to negligence of duty by the Govt. Servant, necessary responsibility must be fixed upon such Govt.

When the Department incurs expenditure on procurement of foodstuffs in term of crores, the cash balance of the Government is severely affected and it will be fully justified for the Government to expect returns of its money spent by the Department. In such circumstances, retention of cash received from sales of foodstuffs in the personal custody of centre-in-charge or official without remitting into Bank or Government Account has to be viewed seriously and such action be treated as temporary misappropriation of Government Money. All the money received on behalf of Government by centre-in-charge or any other official on account of sales proceed etc. shall be deposited in full into Government Accounts without any undue delay. Government money received as aforesaid shall not be appropriated or used to meet Departmental expenditure for any other purpose. All government money collected during a month must be deposited into the Bank/Government Treasury during the month it is collected.

Dated 6th August. 2001.

 

Subj.    :-          Fixation of margin for the distribution of foodgrains under TPDS.

 

Sir,

I am directed to draw your kind attention towards the guidelines issued on the implementation of Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) wherein the State Governments / UT Administrations were instructed to keep the end retail price at the Fair Price Shop level for the BPL, population at not more than 50 paise per kg. over the CIP for the BPL families. Some State Governments have been requesting for flexibility in determining the margin to FPS owners and fixing of the retail issue prices for APL, foodgrains as in the case of BPL foodgrains.

Government of India has decided to give flexibility to the State Governments/UT Administrations in the matter of fixing the margin for the Fair Price Shops by removing the restriction that the difference between the retail issue price and the CIP for distribution of foodgrains to BPL families under TPDS should be within 50 paise per kg. The State Governments are however, requested to limit the margin to the actual expenses to avoid undue burden on the BPL cardholders. This will not however, apply to distribution of foodgrains under Antyodaya Anna Yojana where end retail price is to be retained at Rs. 2 a kg. for wheat and Rs. 3 a kg. for rice.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

Sd/- Malika Arya

Deputy Secretary to the Govt. of India.
