Office Memorandum
Sub.: Advance payment towards fuel charges for vehicles used for official purpose - reg'
As per prevailing administrative practice, the payment towards fuel consumed by vehicles used for official purpose is generally made to the concerned petrol pump at the end of each month. Owing to the ongoing uncertainty in the international petroleum market in the wake of Middle East conflict, most petrol pumps are unwilling to supply fuel to Departments on a credit basis.
2. In view of the above, now State Government has been pleased to allow all Departments and Heads of Departments to make interest-free advance payment equivalent to two months' estimated fuel requirement to the petrol pump for hassle-free conduct of official work.
3. While making such advance payment, adequate Security Deposit/Bank Guarantee/ similar safeguard, as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Department/ Heads of Department, shall be obtained from the concerned petrol pump.
4. This Office Memorandum shall be effective from the date of issue until further orders.
