CoWIN App to Be Official Vaccine App for India: All You Need to Know

CoWIN will be the digitisation platform for the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, but don’t download any apps from Google Play just now, as the official app has not been released. Before downloading any app for such a sensitive matter, make sure you are getting the correct app from a trusted source. The central government has introduced a new CoWIN app to roll out and scale up the mechanism for COVID-19 vaccine distribution system across the nation. The app is reported to be currently in its pre-production stage and hasn’t gone live on Google Play or the App Store.

CoWIN (COVID Vaccine Intelligence Network) is supposed to be a one-stop digital platform to make the phased-out vaccination process streamlined. IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad even announced a challenge asking developers to augment, scale and strengthen the CoWIN platform.

It is still reportedly still under development, and will launch in the future. As the central government readies to administer the vaccine to frontline workers, details of the app have now emerged. These details have been listed on the MeitY (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) site. The CoWIN app is said to have several modules – Administrator Modules for bulk registration, beneficiary registration module for self-registration and individual registration, vaccination module for verification of beneficiary details and updates of vaccination status, and beneficiary acknowledgement and status updation module for SMS alert details, issuance of electronic vaccination certificate, and a CoWIN dashboard with all the information including details such as name, age, mobile number, vaccination status, date and time of vaccination, place of vaccination, session site, health facility and name of vaccinator.

As mentioned, users cannot currently download the CoWIN app from the app stores, nor can they register on the official website. Only few users are given access to the platform, and only these users can login or access the app. Once live, all users should be able to download the app for free and register themselves for a vaccine.

किसान बिल क्या हैं/What is Farmer Bill?

आज भी कई लोगों के मन में सवाल है की naya kisan bill kya hai ? तो आपको बता दें की हाल ही में केंद्र सरकार ने किसान बिल के तहत कृषि सुधारों को लेकर तीन अहम विधेयक पास कराए। जो निम्न प्रकार से हैं –

  • किसान उत्पादन व्यापार और वाणिज्य (संवर्धन और सुविधा) विधेयक / Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill
  1. किसानों के व्यापार क्षेत्रों का दायरा चुनिंदा क्षेत्रों से लेकर “उत्पादन, संग्रह और एकत्रीकरण के किसी भी स्थान” तक फैला हुआ है।
  2. अनुसूचित किसानों की इलेक्ट्रॉनिक ट्रेडिंग और ई-कॉमर्स की अनुमति देता है।
  3. राज्य सरकारों को किसानों, व्यापारियों और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक ट्रेडिंग प्लेटफ़ॉर्म पर किसी भी बाज़ार शुल्क, उपकर या लेवी पर किसानों के उत्पाद के व्यापार के लिए trade बाहरी व्यापार क्षेत्र में आयोजित ’पर प्रतिबंध लगाने से रोकता है।
  • किसान (सशक्तिकरण और संरक्षण) विधेयक मूल्य आश्वासन / Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance
  1. मूल्य निर्धारण का उल्लेख सहित खरीदारों के साथ पूर्व-व्यवस्थित अनुबंध में प्रवेश करने के लिए किसानों को एक कानूनी ढांचा प्रदान करता है।
  2. एक विवाद समाधान तंत्र को परिभाषित करता है।
  • सेवा विधेयक और आवश्यक वस्तुएं (संशोधन) विधेयक / Services Bill and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill
  1. खाद्य पदार्थों जैसे अनाज, दालें, आलू, प्याज, खाद्य तिलहन और तेल को हटाता है, आवश्यक वस्तुओं की सूची से, “असाधारण परिस्थितियों” को छोड़कर ऐसी वस्तुओं पर स्टॉकहोल्डिंग सीमा को हटा देता है।
  2. आवश्यकता है कि कृषि उपज पर किसी भी स्टॉक सीमा को लागू करना मूल्य वृद्धि पर आधारित हो।

kisan bill 2021 hindi pdf: देश में कृषि सुधार के लिए दो महत्वपूर्ण विधेयक लोक सभा से पारित हो गए हैं

farmer bill 2021 pdf in hindi /किसान बिल 2021 के तहत जिन विधेयक को गया उनमे पहला लोक सभा से पारित किया “कृषक उपज व्‍यापार और वाणिज्‍य (संवर्धन और सरलीकरण) विधेयक, 2021’’ तथा दूसरा “कृषक (सशक्‍तिकरण व संरक्षण) कीमत आश्‍वासन और कृषि सेवा पर करार विधेयक, 2021’’ है।

केंद्रीय कृषि एवं किसान कल्‍याण, ग्रामीण विकास तथा पंचायती राज मंत्री श्री नरेंद्र सिंह तोमर के अनुसार इन विधेयकों के माध्यम से अब किसानों को कानूनी बंधनों से आजादी मिलेगी। और साथ उन्होंने यह भी सुनिश्चित किया की न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (एमएसपी) को बरकरार रखा जाएगा तथा राज्यों के अधिनियम के अंतर्गत संचालित मंडियां भी राज्य सरकारों के अनुसार चलती रहेगी।

नया किसान बिल/kisan bill in hindi pdf के लाभ

यदि सभी किसान नया किसान बिल/कृषि विधेयक 2021 को अपना लेते हैं, तो उन्हें निम्न लाभ प्राप्त होंगे।

  • कृषि क्षेत्र में उपज खरीदने-बेचने के लिए किसानों व व्‍यापारियों को “अवसर की स्‍वतंत्रता”

किसान बिल 2021 पूरी जानकारी

यहां यह आपको किसान बिल 2021 / krishi bill 2021 in hindi pdf download की सभी जानकारी विस्तार से देंगे जिसमे हम आपको बताएंगे की किस विधेयक में क्या फायदे हैं और इसका बिरोध किन्यु किया जा रहा है –

इस कानून का मुख्य उद्देश्य किसानों को अपने उत्पाद नोटिफाइड ऐग्रिकल्चर प्रोड्यूस मार्केटिंग कमेटी (APMC) यानी तय मंडियों से बाहर बेचने की छूट प्रदान करना है। इसका लक्ष्य किसानों को उनकी उपज के लिये प्रतिस्पर्धी वैकल्पिक व्यापार माध्यमों से लाभकारी मूल्य उपलब्ध कराना है।साथ इस विधेयक के अंतर्गत किसानों से उनकी उपज की बिक्री पर कोई सेस या फीस नहीं ली जाएगी।

  • कृषक उत्पाद व्यापार एवं वाणिज्य विधेयक का फायदा
  1. यह किसानों के लिये नये विकल्प उपलब्ध करायेगा। जिससे किसानों को खेती करने में अधिक सहायता प्राप्त होगी।
  2. उनकी उपज बेचने पर आने वाली लागत को कम करेगा, उन्हें बेहतर मूल्य दिलाने में मदद करेगा।
  3. और विधेयक के अंतर्गत जिस राज्य में ज्यादा उत्पादन हुआ है उन क्षेत्र के किसान कमी वाले दूसरे प्रदेशों में अपनी कृषि उपज बेचकर बेहतर दाम प्राप्त कर सकेंगे। और अच्छा मुनाफा कमा सकेंगे-
  • कृषक उत्पाद व्यापार एवं वाणिज्य विधेयक का विरोध

इस विधेयक का विरोध करने का मुख्य कारण है की यदि किसान अपनी उपज को पंजीकृत कृषि उपज मंडी समिति (APMC/Registered Agricultural Produce Market Committee) के बाहर बेचते हैं, तो राज्यों को किसान से मिलने वाले राजस्व का नुकसान होगा यह इस लिए की यदि किसान अपनी उपज को मंडी से बाहर बेचते हैं तो राज्य ‘मंडी शुल्क’ प्राप्त नहीं कर पायेंगे।और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है, किसानों और विपक्षी दलों को यह लग रहा है की इस विधेयक से न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (MSP) आधारित खरीद प्रणाली का अंत हो सकता है और निजी कंपनियों द्वारा शोषण बढ़ सकता है।

मूल्य आश्वासन और कृषि सेवाओं पर किसान (सशक्तिकरण एवं संरक्षण) अनुबंध विधेयक 2021=>

इस प्रस्तावित विधेयक के अंतर्गत किसानों को उनके होने वाले कृषि उत्पादों को पहले से तय दाम पर बेचने के लिये कृषि व्यवसायी फर्मों, प्रोसेसर, थोक विक्रेताओं, निर्यातकों या बड़े खुदरा विक्रेताओं के साथ अनुबंध करने का अधिकार मिलेगा।अब किसान अपनी उपज का मूल्य तय करने को स्वतंत्र होगा।

  • किसान अनुबंध विधेयक 2021 का फायदा

इस विधेयक के आने से अब किसान की फसल में होने वाले जोखिम में खरीदार (जिनके साथ अनुबंध किया हो ) भी भागीदारी होगा। जिससे किसानो का फसल में होने वाले जोखिम की समस्या कम हो जाएगी। साथ ही किसान अनुबंध विधेयक 2021 से किसान आधुनिक तकनीक और बेहतर इनपुट तक पहुंच बना पाएंगे। और यह कानून विपणन लागत को कम करके किसान की आय को बढ़ावा देता है।

  • किसान अनुबंध विधेयक 2021 का विरोध

इस कानून का विरोध करने वाले किसान व विपक्ष के लोगों का कहना है की इस कानून को भारतीय खाद्य व कृषि व्यवसाय पर हावी होने की इच्छा रखने वाले बड़े उद्योगपतियों के अनुरूप बनाया गया है। जिससे किसानों को फसल की मोल-तोल करने की शक्ति कमजोर हो जाएगी । साथ ही सभी बड़ी निजी कंपनियों, निर्यातकों, थोक विक्रेताओं और प्रोसेसर को इससे कृषि क्षेत्र में बढ़त मिल सकती है।

आवश्यक वस्तु (संशोधन) विधेयक 2021 =>

यह प्रस्तावित विधेयक के अंतर्गत आवश्यक वस्तुओं की सूची से अनाज, दाल, तिलहन, प्याज और आलू जैसी कृषि उपज को युद्ध, अकाल, असाधारण मूल्य वृद्धि व प्राकृतिक आपदा जैसी ‘असाधारण परिस्थितियों’ को छोड़कर सामान्य परिस्थितियों में हटाने का प्रावधान रखा गया है। जिससे किसानों को अच्छी कीमत मिले।

  • आवश्यक वस्तु (संशोधन) विधेयक का फायदा

इस विधेयक का मुख्य उद्देश्य कृषि क्षेत्र में निजी निवेश / एफडीआई को आकर्षित करने के साथ-साथ मूल्य स्थिरता लाना है। जिससे किसान अपनी उपज के लिए अच्छे दाम हाशिल कर सकता है।

  • आवश्यक वस्तु (संशोधन) विधेयक का विरोध

इस विधेयक के विरोध में किसानों व विपक्षियों का कहना है की यदि अनाज, दाल, तिलहन, खाने वाला तेल, आलू-प्‍याज को जरूरी चीजो की लिस्ट से हटाया जायेगा तो बड़ी कंपनियों को इन कृषि उपजों के भंडारण की छूट मिल जायेगी, जिससे वे किसानों पर अपनी मर्जी चला सकेंगे।जिससे की किसानो को कई दिक्क्तों का सामना करना होगा।

किसान बिल से जुड़ी मुख्य बातें

  • 26 नवंबर के बाद से, पंजाब और हरियाणा के किसानों ने राष्ट्रीय राजधानी की घेराबंदी कर दी है। वे हाल ही में पारित फार्म विधेयकों का विरोध कर रहे हैं
  • ये बिल किसानों को सीधे कॉर्पोरेट्स को उपज बेचने की अनुमति देने के लिए रूपरेखा प्रस्तुत करते हैं, केंद्र का तर्क है
  • किसानों को डर है कि यह उनके पैरों के नीचे से MSP सुरक्षा जाल को खींचने का एक बहाना हो सकता है

किसानों का किसान बिल/ Kisan Bill 2021 के बारे में संदेह

किसान अपनी उपज के लिए एमएसपी प्राप्त करने के लिए आशंकित हैं, इसके बावजूद सरकार से आश्वासन नहीं। किसानों को यह भी डर है कि बड़े खुदरा व्यापारी और कॉर्पोरेट घराने (बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनियों के साथ गठजोड़) भारतीय कृषि पर धन बल से हावी हो सकते हैं। विडंबना यह है कि कई अरहटिया बड़े किसान हैं जो अपना कमीशन और ब्याज आय खो देंगे।

किसानों को डर है कि यदि वैकल्पिक प्लेटफॉर्मों के लिए व्यापार पर्याप्त रूप से चलता है तो एपीएमसी अविभाज्य हो सकता है और इसे बंद करना पड़ सकता है। एक सादृश्य देने के लिए, किसानों को उम्मीद है कि मंडियां बीएसएनएल और एमटीएनएल की तरह निरर्थक हो जाएंगी और जियो और भारती की पसंद को फायदा हो सकता है।

एमएसपी क्या है और किसान नए किसान बिल /Kisan Krishi Bill 2021 कानूनों का विरोध क्यों कर रहे हैं?

न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (MSP) जैसा कि नाम से पता चलता है वह मूल्य है जो सरकार किसानों से सीधे खरीदने के लिए कृषि उत्पाद मूल्य पर निर्धारित करती है। कृषि उत्पाद पर एमएसपी दर किसान को फसल के लिए न्यूनतम लाभ के लिए एक सुरक्षा कवच के रूप में कार्य करती है, क्योंकि खुले बाजार में लागत की तुलना में कम कीमत होती है।

Kisan Krishi Bill 2021 कानूनों का विरोध

सरकार द्वारा लाये गए तीन नए तीन कृषि बिलों/ Three Agriculture Bills का विरोध निम्न शंकाओं से कर रहें हैं –

  • सरकार द्वारा निर्धारत किया गया न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (MSP) पर अनाज की ख़रीद बंद हो जाएगा।
  • किसान फसल को मंडी से बहार बेचता है तो एपीएमसी मंडियां समाप्त हो जाएंगी।
  • ई-नाम जैसे सरकारी ई-ट्रेडिंग पोर्टल का क्या होगा?
न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य कैसे तय किया जाता है?

सरकार राज्य सरकारों और केंद्रीय मंत्रालयों / विभागों के संबंधित और अन्य संबंधित कारकों के विचारों पर विचार करने के बाद, कृषि लागत और मूल्य आयोग (CACP) की सिफारिशों के आधार पर 22 अनिवार्य कृषि फसलों के लिए न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (MSPs) को निर्धारित करती है। MSP पूरे देश के लिए निर्धारित किया जाता है न कि क्षेत्र या राज्य विशेष के लिए।

एमएसपी की सिफारिश करने से पहले किन कारकों पर विचार किया जाता है?

एमएसपी की सिफारिश करते समय, सीएसीपी विभिन्न कारकों पर विचार करता है। उत्पादन की लागत, घरेलू और दुनिया के बाजारों में विभिन्न फसलों की समग्र मांग-आपूर्ति की स्थिति, घरेलू और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कीमतें, अंतर-फसल मूल्य समता, कृषि और गैर-कृषि क्षेत्र के बीच व्यापार की शर्तें, शेष अर्थव्यवस्था पर मूल्य नीति का संभावित प्रभाव और उत्पादन लागत पर मार्जिन के रूप में न्यूनतम 50 प्रतिशत।

रबी फसलों के न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य लिस्ट 2021-22

MSP 2021-22 – Minimum Support Price for Rabi Crops: वर्ष 2021–22 के रबी मौसम हेतु देश भर के किसानों के लिए न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य जारी कर दिया गया है। जिसकी सूचि निम्न प्रकार से है-

International Article Number

The International Article Number (also known as European Article Number or EAN) is a standard describing a barcode symbology and numbering system used in global trade to identify a specific retail product type, in a specific packaging configuration, from a specific manufacturer. The standard has been subsumed in the Global Trade Item Number standard from the GS1 organization; the same numbers can be referred to as GTINs and can be encoded in other barcode symbologies defined by GS1. EAN barcodes are used worldwide for lookup at retail point of sale, but can also be used as numbers for other purposes such as wholesale ordering or accounting. These barcodes only represent the digits 0–9, unlike some other barcode symbologies which can represent additional characters.

The most commonly used EAN standard is the thirteen-digit EAN-13, a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC-A) standard developed in 1970 by George J. Laurer. An EAN-13 number includes a 3-digit GS1 prefix (indicating country of registration or special type of product). A prefix with a first digit of “0” indicates a 12-digit UPC-A code follows. A prefix with first two digits of “45” or “49” indicates a Japanese Article Number (JAN) follows.

The less commonly used 8-digit EAN-8 barcode was introduced for use on small packages, where EAN-13 would be too large. 2-digit EAN-2 and 5-digit EAN-5 are supplemental barcodes, placed on the right-hand side of EAN-13 or UPC. These are generally used for periodicals like magazines or books, to indicate the current year’s issue number; and weighed products like food, to indicate the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.

The 13-digit EAN-13 number consists of four components:[4]

  • GS1 prefix – 3 digits
  • Manufacturer code – variable length
  • Product code – variable length
  • Check digit

GS1 prefix

Further information: List of GS1 country codes

The first three digits of the EAN-13 (GS1 Prefix) usually identify the GS1 Member Organization which the manufacturer has joined (not necessarily where the product is actually made). Note that EAN-13 codes beginning with 0 are actually 12-digit UPC codes with prepended 0 digit. In recent years, more products sold by retailers outside United States and Canada have been using EAN-13 codes beginning with 0, since they were generated by GS1-US.

The 020-029 GS1 Prefixes are worth a special mention. GS1 defines this as being available for retailer internal use (or internal use by other types of business). Some retailers use this for proprietary (own brand or unbranded) products, although many retailers obtain their own manufacturer’s code for their own brands. Other retailers use at least part of this prefix for products which are packaged in store, for example, items weighed and served over a counter for a customer. In these cases, the barcode may encode a price, quantity or weight along with a product identifier – in a retailer defined way. The product identifier may be one assigned by the Produce Electronic Identification Board (PEIB) or may be retailer assigned. Retailers who have historically used UPC barcodes tend to use GS1 prefixes starting with “02” for store-packaged products

The EAN “country code” 978 (and later 979) has been allocated since the 1980s to reserve a Unique Country Code (UCC) prefix for EAN identifiers of published books, regardless of country of origin, so that the EAN space can catalog books by ISBNs rather than maintaining a redundant parallel numbering system. This is informally known as “Bookland“. The prefix 979 with first digit 0 is used for International Standard Music Number (ISMN) and the prefix 977 indicates International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).

Manufacturer code

The manufacturer code is a unique code assigned to each manufacturer by the numbering authority indicated by the GS1 Prefix. All products produced by a given company will use the same manufacturer code. EAN-13 uses what are called “variable-length manufacturer codes”. Assigning fixed-length 5-digit manufacturer codes, as the UCC has done until recently, means that each manufacturer can have up to 99,999 product codes. Many manufacturers do not have that many products, which means hundreds or even thousands of potential product codes are being wasted on manufacturers that only have a few products. Thus if a potential manufacturer knows that it is only going to produce a few products, EAN-13 may issue it a longer manufacturer code, leaving less space for the product code. This results in more efficient use of the available manufacturer and product codes.

In ISBN and ISSN, this component is used to identify the language in which the publication was issued and managed by a transnational agency covering several countries, or to identify the country where the legal deposits are made by a publisher registered with a national agency, and it is further subdivided any allocating subblocks for publishers; many countries have several prefixes allocated in the ISSN and ISBN registries.

Product code

The product code is assigned by the manufacturer. The product code immediately follows manufacturer code. The total length of manufacturer code plus product code should be 9 or 10 digits depending on the length of country code (2-3 digits).

In ISBN, ISMN and ISSN, it uniquely identifies the publication from the same publisher; it should be used and allocated by the registered publisher in order to avoid creating gaps; however it happens that a registered book or serial never gets published and sold.

Check digit

The check digit is an additional digit, used to verify that a barcode has been scanned correctly. It is computed modulo 10, where the weights in the checksum calculation alternate 3 and 1. In particular, since the weights are relatively prime to 10, the EAN-13 system will detect all single digit errors. It also recognizes 90% of transposition errors (all cases, where the difference between adjacent digits is not 5).

Calculation of checksum digit

The checksum is calculated as sum of products – taking an alternating weight value (3 or 1) times the value of each data digit. The checksum digit is the digit, which must be added to this checksum to get a number divisible by 10 (i.e. the additive inverse of the checksum, modulo 10). See ISBN-13 check digit calculation for a more extensive description and algorithm. The Global Location Number(GLN) also uses the same method.

Position – weight[edit]

The weight at a specific position in the EAN code is alternating (3 or 1) in a way, that the final data digit has a weight of 3 (and thus the check digit has a weight of 1).

All Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) codes meet the next rule:

Numbering the positions from the right (code aligned to the right), the odd data digits are always weight of 3 and the even data digits are always weight of 1, regardless of the length of the code.

Weights for 18-digit SSCC code and GTINs (GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, GTIN-14):

Netbanking : You can quickly login to your net banking account or app. If you had linked your bank account with your PAN, then you can log in to your account and check the PAN. PAN can be located by accessing the bank account online or through mobile banking. It is mentioned in a Bank Pass Book as well. PAN Details are available under ‘Customer Profile’ or ‘Personal Information’ section online. If the PAN is not showing online but you are sure that you had linked your PAN to this account, then you can call the bank’s customer care and ask them for assistance.

Salary Slips : For salaried individuals, this is the easiest way to find the Permanent Account Number. All companies seek PAN details at the time of on boarding of employees and it is mentioned on the monthly Payslip. Payslips are generally made available online through the company’s internal portal or should be available on mail as well.

Form 16 – Form 16 is a certificate issued by the employer (online and/or hard copy) with details about tax deducted for the FY and amount received by employee from employer during the Financial Year. Apart from other details, it has the employee PAN as well.

From Income Tax Department’s e-filing website – The PAN number can be accessed through Income Tax website by Registration – it is an easy one time process and on registration, details like PAN Number, Name, Date of Birth and Address can be obtained and verified.

IT Returns : You can check your past IT returns as they would have your PAN number mentioned on them.

Other methods :-

Do you recall submitting your PAN Card to any private entity as a proof of identity? If yes, then you might want to try talking to them and get your PAN Number from them.

Almost all Demat accounts have a Pan number on record. If you hold a Demat account, then talk to the provider who might help you after verifying your identity.

Do you remember purchasing foreign currency exceeding INR50k? If yes, then you would have provided your PAN details to the firm/agency/bank from where you purchased the same. That can be a good place to check too.

If you have applied for a credit card recently, then your application form will have your PAN number. Talk to customer service and request them to share your PAN number with you after verifying your identity.

All motor vehicle purchases and sales (except two-wheelers) need to quote PAN number on the invoice. If you have made such a sale/purchase, check the invoice.

If you have paid a life insurance premium of more than INR50k in a financial year, then the insurer will have your PAN number on record. Talk to the insurer to get the number.

Govt Employees Can Get Cashback On Insurance Premium Paid – Know Eligibity

Govt Employees Can Get Cashback On Insurance Premium Paid – Know Eligibity

Under the LTC(leave travel concession) cash voucher scheme, the central government employees will be eligible for reimbursement for premium paid for insurance policies between October 12, 2020 & March 31, 2021

The Department of Expenditure under the Finance Ministry while issuing the third set of FAQ also clarified that for purchases of goods like cars, employees the beneficiaries need not submit original bills of their purchases in order to avail reimbursement under the scheme and self-attested copies would work instead, it said. “However, the original bills may be produced on demand for information,” it added.

What are the new benefits?

So far, employees had only Leave Travel Concession (LTC) benefits on travels made, or else they had to forgo the amount.

On October 12, the government announced the LTC cash voucher scheme under which employees can purchase any goods or services with a GST rate of 12 per cent or above to avail the benefit. The caveat was the fact that payments for such purchases have to be made via digital mode or cheque or demand draft or NEFT/RTGS by March 31 next year, in order to receive reimbursement of the deemed travel fare amount and the leave encashment.

Doubts on Scheme :-

This clarification on the scheme came as it was the third set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) released by the finance ministry on Wednesday.

Whether or not premiums paid for existing policies be eligible under the LTC scheme was also a question received by the ministry a number of times. According to the ministry, premium paid with fresh policies purchased during the specified period only would be eligible. The premiums paid for existing insurance policies would not count.

For the submission of bills by employees who would superannuate before March, the Expenditure Department said, “vouchers/ bills should be submitted and settled before the date of superannuation”.

To a query on whether purchase receipt can be in the name of any dependent, the FAQ said, “The invoices of the goods and services purchased as per the scheme may be in the name of spouse or any family member who are eligible for LTC fare as declared in the service records”.

The expenditure department, under the Finance Ministry, said the special cash package scheme in lieu of one LTC is to “compensate and incentivise consumption” by government employees and the benefits can be availed up to March 31, 2021.
