2. In case of doubt as to the operation of these orders the clarificatory orders, circulated vide this Ministry’s OM No.14(10)E-Coord/88 dated 4.10.88, as amended from time to time, may be kept in view, mutatis mutandis.
3. Any request for funding by the Government to meet the liability on account of Non-PLB (Ad-hoc bonus) in respect of various organizations would not be considered by the Ministries concerned, having regard to the stipulation of aforesaid OM dated 22.09.2010 that the expenditure on Non-PLB (Ad-hoc bonus) should be met from within the existing budgetary provisions of the respective organizations. While the Autonomous Bodies not funded by the Central Government may also adopt these orders in respect of their employees, no liability for funding will in any case lie on the Central Government on this account.
