TOPICS ON WHICH NOTES ARE REQUIRED
I BASE AND RATES OF STATE TAXES, DUTIES ETC.
1 Land Revenue
(a) Base and existing rates of land revenue as assessed on different
categories of rural land. Information about the rates applicable to irrigated, unirrigated and partially irrigated land should separately be given.
(b) In some States in addition to irrigation, there is a tax on commercial crops. Where the tax on commercial crops in any from is levied, details of it should be given separately.
(c) The size of holdings- unirrigated and irrigated (once/twice a year)
separately – exempted from payment of land revenue and position in this regard from time to time together with estimated loss of revenue.
(d) Any cess on land revenue whether land revenue o r any part of it is
assigned to Panchayats.
1. (a)
Land in rural areas includes mainly agriculture land, which again include
homestead and cultivable land. In rural areas, land is assessed on the basis of “Soil
Unit System” as provided in the Assam Resettlement Manual. According to the
system, soil factors are taken into consideration to calculate the unit rates.
The land is classified on the basis of its use. The classification varies from
district to district. But major classification found as per use is as follows:
1. Dry Land
(a) Bari
i. Bhal Bari (Residential Site – I)
ii. Madhyam Bari (Residential Site – II)
iii. Natun Bari (Residential Site – II)
(b) Faringati
(c) Beparar Thai (Trade Site I to III)
2. Wet Land i. Lahitoli (agriculture lands)
ii. Salitoli (agriculture lands)
iii. Bao (agricultural lands)
iv. Ahutoli or Kharma (agricultural
lands)
2
v. Jalatak (agriculture lands)
The rates of land revenue varies from place to place depending upon the
variation in economic condition, communication facilities, climate, natural conditions
etc. First of all the unit rate for group of villages homogeneous in nature is calculated
on the basis of factors fixed for each class of land and the volume of existing land
revenue. The factor is fixed on the basis of fertility and productivity of the soil and as
such, the factor is bound to vary from place to place. The factor assigned to different
classes of land is shown below :
Bari-130 to 150 Lahitoli- 130 Baotoli-120 Salitoli-135 Faringati-125 Ahutoli-
120 Jalatak-40.
A higher factor is assigned to well developed villages while a lower unit rate is
assigned to the villages which are susceptible to flood, depredation of wild animals
etc. The crop statistics market, nature of land and concomitant conditions along with
market value of products are also taken into accounts.
The Unit rate is calculated in terms of paise. If the unit in rates is 150 paise
then how the rate of land revenue per bigha is calculated for each class of land is
shown as below:
The average rate as prevailing in the State currently may be taken as 150
paise. Thus the bigha rate for each class of land comes to:
Bari = 130X 150 to 150X150 = Rs.1.95 to Rs.2.25
Salitoli = 135X150 = Rs.2.03
Lahitoli = 130X150 = Rs.1.95
Faringati = 125X150 = Rs.1.88
Baotoli = 120X150 = Rs.1.80
Ahutoli = 120x150 = Rs.1.80
Jalatak = 40X150 = Rs. 0.60.
The rates as stated above or with slight variation were prevalent in different
districts till 1997. The rate of revenue for Jalatak classes of land although comes to
Rs.0.60, but for all practical purposes it was taken as Re.1/- which was the minimum
rate of revenue. But in the year 1998 minimum rate of land revenue of Re.1/- has been
fixed at Rs.5/- in the rural areas. This has been an enhancement of Rs.4.00 over the
earlier minimum revenue of Re.1/-.
The following methods shall be adopted
Existing Rate (in Rupees) Reassessed Rate (in Rupees)
1.00 5.00
3
1.50 5.50
2.00 6.00
3.00 7.00
4.00 8.00
Thus, over the existing rate i.e. before effecting the minimum rate of revenue
as Rs.5.00, an amount of Rs.4.00 shall be added to each classes of land to calculate
the current rate of revenue of rural land.
At present this minimum rate of land revenue is realized from the land holder
in all rural areas of Assam barring the following exception :
1. Assessment of land revenue of trade site land : The assessment of trade site
land of rural areas has been made at the rate of maximum 10 times of the rate
of homestead land.
2. Assessment of land used as brick kiln : State Government from time to time
has fixed the rate of revenue of lands where brick kilns are set up. The present
rate is Rs.2.50/- per cubic ft. of land plus maximum 10 times of the rate of
highest class of land in the vicinity.
3. Assessment of Industrial Land : According to Rule 16 framed under Section
26 of the Assam Land Revenue Reassessment Act.,1936 as amended and as
per Section 256-B (i) of the said Act., the industrial land of rural areas are
assessed. The minimum rate is fixed at Rs.500/- per bigha.
ASSESSMENT OF TEA LAND
Prior to 1997 the rate of land revenue on tea gardens varied from district to
district and even from garden to garden. The rate of land revenue on tea garden land
prevalent prior to 1997 was as below :
(Per bigha)
1. Goalpara and Cachar Rs. 0.30 to Rs.
0.35
2. Hailakandi, Kokrajhar, Rs. 1.20 to Rs.
1.70
Jorhat, Sibsagar, Dhubri
3. Golaghat, Morigaon, Nogaon Rs. 2.15 to Rs.
2.75
Kamrup , Barpeta, Tinsukia and
Dibrugarh
4. Lakhimpur, Karimganj, Darrang Rs. 3.10 to Rs.
4.00
Dhemaji, Nalbari, Sonitpur
But in 1997 State Government amended the Assam Land Revenue
Reassessment Act, 1936 in order to enhance the rate of land revenue on tea land to a
maximum of 30 times the above land revenue. Accordingly, State Government has
fixed flat rate of land revenue on tea lands @ Rs. 15.00/- per bigha in Brahmaputra
Valley and @ Rs. 10.00 per bigha in Barak Valley with ex-post facto effect from
01.04.1990. Later on vide letter No.RSS.351/91/339 dt.27.10.1999, the Government
4
has reduced the rate to Rs. 12.00 for Brahmaputra Valley and Rs. 9.00 for Barak
Valley respectively.
There is no separate rate fixed for irrigated, un-irrigated and partially irrigated
land in rural areas.
1.(b)
The Government of Assam introduced an Act, viz, Assam Taxation (on
specified land) Act, 1990 to levy a tax on the productivity of some special land
bearing green tea leaves. The Act, came into force with effect from 01-01-1990.
The annual productivity of this land is measured by the green tea leaves it
produces annually. The rate of tax was originally fixed at 18 paise per Kg. of green
tea leaves produced. The tax is paid by the tea estates on the basis of their annual
production of green tea leaves.
With effect from 01.04.1997, the rate of tax was enhanced to as follows:
1. For Assam @ 20 paise per Kg. upto 40 hecters.
2. For Brahmaputra Valley tea
garden
@ 30 paise per Kg. exceeding 40 hecters.
3. For Barak Vallley tea garden @ 27 paise per Kg. exceeding 40 hecters
Again with effect from 01.04.1998, the rate of tax is enhanced to 32 paise per
Kg. for Assam Valley tea gardens and 29 paise per Kg. for Barak Valey tea gardens.
1. (c)
Holding of land in the State has not been demarcated in irrigated and
unirrigated for fixation of land revenue and hence the reply may be treated as nil.
As per State Government’s executive order No.RSS.514/2005/4 dated
09.12.2005, all agricultural lands with size up to 6 bighas are exempted from
payment of land revenue with effect from 2005-06 and in lieu of that Re 1 per bigha
is allowed to be paid. These six bighas of land also include homestead land and the
land used for allied agricultural pursuit. The annual monetary value of land revenue
and local rates collected is around 12 crore. Majority (around 80%) of the agriculture
land holdings are below 6 bighas. The ceiling law limits maximum land holdings to
50 bighas. Therefore, on rough estimates, the loss in term of revenue will be around
Rs.8 to Rs.10 crore.
1. (d)
No cess has been levied on the land revenue by the State Government.
There is State Act for assignment of land revenue to Panchayats. However, as per 26
Section of the Assam Panchayat Act, 1994, the Gaon Panchyats are entitled to get a
share of land revenue and local rate collected by Government of Assam as per rates
recommended by the State Finance Commissions. The First and Second State Finance
5
Commissions did not recommend assignment of the share of land revenue in view of
global transfer of aggregate tax revenue. In view of this, sharing of land revenue was
done on an adhoc basis and the amount transferred was very nominal varying between
rupees ten to fifteen lakh annually. Moreover, it also lacked certainty, as the payment
was not regular throughout the year. In view of the implementation of global transfer
of taxes out of the net aggregate tax revenue collection of the State Government from
2008-09, the assignment of the share of land revenue to the Panchayats as per Assam
Panchayat Act, 1994 is required to be abolished by an amendment to the Act.

Deputy Commissioner of the District is empowered to order such cases. But if the agricultural
land is to be converted to commercial and industrial site, then the Deputy Commissioner is to
submit report to the Director of Land Records, who in turn give wide publicity inviting objection
from interested persons about such conversion and then takes hearing. Thereafter, the case is
forwarded to the Government and then the Government notifies the conversion in the official

Brief description of arrangements for checking under-valuation of properties from evasion
of stamp duty.
It is a fact that in the absence of appropriate measures to check under-valuation of
property people often tend to conceal their actual value of the properties in transaction so as to
evade stamp duty and registration fee resulting in loss of Government revenues.
To check under-valuation of properties in transaction, Government of Assam vide
amendment to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, called the Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act,
2004 effective from 17th
September, 2004 inserted a new Section in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899
as Section 27-A after section 27 and empowered the Registering Officers to inform the collector
of the district about under-valuation of property mentioned in the deed. The Section 27-A is
produced below :
(1) If the Registering Officer appointed under the Registration Act, 1908 while registering any
instrument of conveyance, exchange or gift has reason to believe that the market value of
property as fixed by the Government/Collector of the district, which is subject matter of
conveyance, exchange or gift has not been truly set forth in the instrument, he may after
registering such instrument, refer the same to the Collector for determination of the market value
of such property and the property duty payable thereon.
(2) On receipt of reference under Sub-Section (1), the Collector shall, after giving the parties a
reasonable opportunity of being heard and after holding an enquiry in such manner as may be
prescribed by rules made under this Act, determine the market value of the property, which is
subject matter of conveyance, exchange or gift and the duty as aforesaid, and thereupon the
difference, if any, in the amount of duty, shall be payable by the persons liable to pay the duty.
(3) The Collector may, on his own motion or otherwise, within two years from the date of
registration of any instrument or conveyance, exchange or gift not already referred to him under
sub-section (1) call for and examine the instrument for the purpose of satisfying himself as to the
correctness of the market value of the property as set forth in the instrument, which is subject
matter of conveyance, exchange or gift and the duty payable thereon and if after such
examination he has to believe that market value of such property has not been truly set forth in
the instrument, he may determine the market value of such property and the duty as aforesaid,
and thereupon the difference, if any, in the amount of duty, shall be payable by the persons liable
to pay the duty.
xii
Provided that nothing in this sub-section shall apply to instrument registered before the
date of commencement of the Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act, 2004.
(4) Any person aggrieved by an order of the Collector under sub-section (2) or sub-section (3)
may prefer an appeal to the Civil Judge of appropriate jurisdiction and all such appeals shall be
preferred within such time and shall be heard and disposed of in such manner as may be
preferred.
Explanation :- For the purpose of this Act, market value of any property shall be estimated to be
the price which in the opinion of the Collector or the Civil Judge of Senior Division as the case
may be, such property would have fetched or would fetch, if sold in the open market on the date
of the execution of the instrument of conveyance, exchange or gift.
Apart from above, the State Government has taken steps for implementation of the
Objective Valuation Method (OVM) for fixation of the value of the land of the town areas and
the rural areas. In this connection, the Revenue and Disaster Management Department of the
State Government issued instructions with guidelines vide letter No.REGN.61/2005/92 dated
30.11.2006 to all Deputy Commissioners (except Two Hills and BTAD Districts under Sixth
Schedule) and all Sub-Divisional Officers (Civil) to constitute a District Level Land Valuation
Committee in each district and to fix the zonal valuation of the land with their respective
jurisdiction. The zonal valuation of land has been approved and notified by the Department in
respect of Sibsagar and Tinsukia Districts. Once this objective valuation of land is fixed, the
assessment of the stamp duty shall be on the market value of the land so fixed and it will not be
possible to evade stamp duties and registration fees at the time of transactions.

VAT
(a) Impact of introduction of VAT on the Revenue of the States;
(b) Yearwise compensation availed and impact on Sta te finances;
(c) Expected impact of changes in CST.
(a) Impact of introduction of VAT on the Revenue of States:
Prior to introduction of VAT, the average annual growth rate of AGST in last years was
24%. However, after introduction of VAT with effect from 01.05.2005 the rate of growth has
reduced. As can be seen from the Table below the rate of growth of was 22% in 2005-06, 10% in
2006-07 and 19% in 2007-08 including VAT on tobacco. Thus, after introduction of VAT, the
rate of growth of tax collection has reduced.

(b) Year wise compensation availed and impact on State finances:
For the year 2005-06 compensation of Rs.24.15 crore (100% of the shortfall) has been
received from Government of India. For the year 2006-07 proposals for compensation of
Rs.113.39 crore (75% of the shortfall) has been submitted to the Government of India. But the
amount has not yet been released. The proposal for compensation for the year 2007-08 is under
preparation.
(c) Expected impact of changes in CST.
The CST revenue was Rs.550.49 crore in the year 2006-07 as compared to Rs.2015.36
crore VAT revenue i.e. 27% of VAT revenue. The State of Assam has lost considerable revenue
on account of reduction of rate of CST from 4% to 3% with effect from 01.04.2007. The CST
revenue collection in the year 2007-08 was Rs.443.15 crore. A proposal for compensation for
Rs.155.47 crore has been submitted to the Government of India. However, the Government of
India will deduct Rs.41.66 crore from compensation payable on account of abolition of ‘D’
Forms. The State of Assam is not going to earn any extra amount on account of abolition of ‘D’
Forms, since hardly any Central Government Department makes inter-State purchases from
Assam.
ii
The rate of CST has been reduced from 3% to 2% with effect from 01.06.2008. The rate
will be further reduced to 1% with effect from 01.04.2009. The estimated loss in 2008-09 will be
about Rs.380.00 crore and Rs.680.00 crore in 2009-10. After bringing down CST to 0% with
effect from 01.04.2010, it is estimated that there will be a loss of Rs.1070.00 crore to the State.
Thus, reduction of CST is going to cause huge loss to the State.
It was proposed that Government of India would pay compensation for three years for
reduction in rate of CST. For the first five months of 2007-08, Government of Assam received
Rs.70.89 crore as compensation for reduction of CST. But compared to the amount of the
revenue loss on account of reduction of CST rate, the compensation is very meager and it is not
going to make up 100% loss of CST. It was stated that Goods and service Tax (GST) would
come into force from 01.04.2010, and this would take care of loss on account of reduction of
CST. Going by the progress made till now in implementation of GST, it is apprehended that GST
is not likely to be introduced as planned earlier. Therefore, it is necessary that Central
Government should provide for loss on account of CST after lapse of three-year period. This is
very important for backward States like Assam specially when the ratio of CST to VAT revenue
was as high as 27% in 2006-07 before the reduction in CST started.

IV. NATURAL CALAMITES 16. Please give a note indicating the views of the State Govt. on the specific issues
in the TORs related to natural calamities/disaster management viz. “The Commission may review the present arrangements as regards financing of Disaster Management with reference to the National Calamity Contingency Fund and the Calamity Relief Fund and the funds envisaged in the Disaster Management Act, 2005(53 of 2005), and make appropriate recommendations thereon”.
Assam is one of the most disaster prone States in India. Almost every type
of natural and manmade disaster visits Assam at regular intervals taking heavy toll of life and
causing enormous damages to houses and other infrastructure. Rapid urbanization, unplanned
growth of human settlements, unsafe building practices and multiple layers of vulnerabilities
have contributed to the rising trend of disaster losses. This has been further compounded by the
climate change and its impacts. Besides, being in seismic Zone V, the most sensitive and
vulnerable seismic zone, Assam is, particularly, plagued by the phenomenon of recurrent floods
and river bank erosion. While floods in Assam have been a known fact, it is only recently that
river bank erosion has begun to be acknowledged as a fundamental problem. The extent of this
problem can be gauzed from the fact that in 1910s, Bramaputra had an average of width of 6
Kms.; in 1960s, its average width became 7.5 Kms. While now the average width is about 9
Kms.
It is this erosion that is systematically destroying the old system of embankments, which
initially provided relief from annual floods.
Successive Finance Commissions have been seized with the issue of financing disaster
management by the States. The 2nd
Finance Commission innovated the concept of Margin
Money as a separate fund for meeting expenses on natural calamities. This system continued till
8th
Finance Commission.
The 9th
Finance Commission (1990-95) constituted the Calamity Relief Fund (CRF) to be
contributed by the Central and the State Government on 75:25 basis as non-plan grant. The
quantum of fund to be allocated to the States was determined with reference to the actual
expenses on relief incurred during the previous decade. The 10th
Finance Commission retained
the CRF scheme with minor modifications. The 10th
Finance Commission constituted also the
National Fund for Calamity Relief (NFCR) to deal with catastrophic disasters, which was
substituted by National Calamity Contingency Fund (NCCF) by the 11th
Finance Commission.
Paradigm Shift in Disaster Management
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 has ushered in a complete shift in disaster
management in India. Not only has disaster been defined to include all calamities, natural and
manmade, the scope of disaster management itself has changed from disaster relief to holistic
management of disasters which includes prevention, mitigation, preparedness and reconstruction.
The Act has also created Disaster Management Authorities at national, state and district level
defining their specific responsibilities and further created Disaster Response Fund and Disaster
Mitigation Fund, at all these three levels.
Keeping these changes in view, the 13th
Finance Commission has been specifically
mandated to “review the present arrangements as regards financing of Disaster Management
with reference to National Calamity Contingency Fund and the Calamity Relief Fund and the
funds envisaged in the Disaster Management Act, 2005 and make appropriate recommendations
thereon.” The 13th
Finance Commission should, therefore, consider assistance to Assam in the
light of above-mentioned requirements created by the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
ii
As mentioned earlier, Assam suffers from both natural and manmade calamities and if
adequate attention is to be paid to the holistic management of disasters i.e. prevention,
mitigation, preparedness and reconstruction, hitherto practiced approach of providing relief in
the wake of calamities will have to be given up and funds will have to be earmarked for the
entire gamut of activities required for disaster management.
Manmade Calamities.
Under the existing system, for manmade calamities like extremist violence, State
Government, out of its own resources, provides funds for relief and rehabilitation of affected
people. The allocation for this purpose in the last 5 years was as follows :
Financial Year Budget Allocation
(Rs in lakh)
2003-04 2000.00
2004-05 2566.42
2005-06 2966.00
2006-07 2866.00
2007-08 3044.56
2008-09 3502.00
Budget allocation for this purpose will have to be suitably augmented by the 13th
Finance
Commission to meet, in particular, the requirement of prevention and mitigation of manmade
calamities.
In this connection, mention may be made that over one lakh people rendered homeless in
the ethnic violence in 1993, 1996 and 1998 in erstwhile Kokrajhar District (during Bodo
movement) are yet to be rehabilitated. They are being provided gratuitous relief and other
amenities for more than last ten years. A huge amount of money will be required to provide land,
homestead and employment opportunities to these people. 13th
Finance Commission may
consider such problems occurring frequently in the State while considering the award for disaster
management of manmade calamities.
Natural Calamities.
For dealing with the requirement of relief and rehabilitation arising from natural
calamities, recourse is taken to the Calamity relief Fund. The allocation to this Fund in the last
five years is given below :
���� ������ ���� ������ � ����������� ������������� ������������� ������������� �� ��������� ��������� ��� ������
Needless to say that the funds provided under CRF have been extremely inadequate to
meet the requirements for reconstruction and restoration of damaged infrastructures after the
natural calamities, particularly floods. The relief and rehabilitation provided to the affected
people has also at a very low scale as per CRF guidelines. Further, there has so far been no
provision for prevention, mitigation, preparedness before and reconstruction after natural
calamities. Further, the CRF is required to be funded by the Central Government and the State
Government on the basis of 90:10. At least 2 per cent of the entire CRF corpus be allowed to be
utilized for administrative expenses for strengthening of infrastructures at the State, District and
Sub-Divisional headquarters. The expenditure incurred in managing the visit of different teams
of Central Government for assessment and other dignitaries require large expenditure.
iii
Disaster Mitigation Fund
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 provides for constitution of a Disaster Mitigation
Fund at national, state and district level.
If al aspects of the disaster management are to be taken care of, at least Rs.1000 crore per
annum will be required in the State Disaster Mitigation Fund taking the total requirement during
the award period of 13th
Finance Commission to be Rs.5000 crore. This amount will be
distributed to various District Disaster Mitigation Funds as per need.
Disaster Response Fund
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 also mandates creation of a separate Disaster
Response Fund at national, state and district level.
To meet the requirement of establishment of Disaster Response Fund, perhaps, the
Calamity Relief Fund may be re-designated as Disaster Response Fund with enhanced
allocations of at least Rs.500 crore per annum taking the total requirement during the award
period of 13th
Finance Commission to be Rs.2500 crore, so that the requirements of providing
relief and rehabilitation in the spirit of Disaster Management Act, 2005 is met by the State
Government.

V. STATE PLAN 17. Please explain the practice followed by the state government in regard to
maintenance provisions in respect of completed plan schemes - whether expenditure on the running/maintenance of all plan schemes completed during the course of a Plan period continues to be charged to the Plan till the end of a particular plan period or these are transferred to the non-plan budget as and when completed. Is the same practice followed for all schemes, including capital schemes like buildings, roads, irrigations works, etc?
1. The expenditure on running/maintenance of all plan schemes of a revenue nature other
than capital schemes like roads, buildings etc. completed during a particular period continues to
be charged to the plan till the terminal year of the plan period. Usually, at the expiry of every
five-year plan, a percentage of the completed plan schemes are transferred to non-plan subject to
availability of fund recommended by the successive Finance Commission.
In the assessment of non-plan revenue expenditure of States, the Ninth Finance
Commission did not provide for committed liability of Seventh Plan schemes. The Planning
Commission, in pursuance to the recommendation of the Rangarajan Committee, allowed all
plan schemes to continue under plan till 1996-97. The Tenth Finance Commission, however,
recommended an amount of Rs.286.64 crores as committed liability of the plan schemes
completed up to 1994-95 for provision of the amount in the non-plan Budget for 1997-98. But
due to resource constraint of the State, Planning Commission reviewed their earlier decision and
allowed completed plan schemes to continue under plan till 2001-02. Eleventh Finance
Commission did not provide any fund for committed liabilities of plan schemes to non-plan
revenue account to Special Category States on the assumption that these liabilities would
continue under plan. The Twelfth Finance Commission recommended 30% of plan revenue
expenditure of 2006-07 as transfer to non-plan expenditure in 2007-08 for general category
States and 10% for Special Category States. The Twelfth Finance Commission recommended
lower proportion for Special Category States on the assumption that Planning Commission
would continue to allow them to divert 20 percent of Normal Central Assistance (NCA) of
Annual State Plan for meeting non-plan expenditure. Thereafter, the level of committed
liabilities estimated for 2007-08 increased at an annual rate of 7.5 percent in the remaining two
years of the award period i.e. 2008-09 and 2009-10 of the Twelfth Finance Commission. Thus,
the Twelfth Finance Commission provided total amount of Rs.1111.91 crore for Assam for
transfer of committed liabilities of plan schemes to non-plan revenue account, earmarking
Rs.344.18 crore for 2007-08, Rs.369.99 crore for 2008-09 and Rs.397.74 crore for 2009-10.
Since the transfer of plan schemes to the non-plan side is normally expected to take place at the
beginning of a five year plan period, the Twelfth Finance Commission had considered this aspect
in their assessment of non-plan revenue gap from 2007-08 based on the revenue component of
2006-07 annual plan. For working out the revenue component of 2006-07 annual plan, the
Twelfth Finance Commission had adopted a 5 per cent annual growth on the plan revenue
expenditure of 2004-05 (BE). Having worked out the plan revenue expenditure in 2006-07,
Twelfth Finance Commission had recommended 10 per cent of the same as transfer to non-plan
revenue account in 2007-08 and projected thereafter at an annual growth rate of 7.5 per cent for
the remaining two years.
In the wake of a much faster growth in State Annual Plan outlays during the period under
consideration, the assumption of 5 per cent annual growth in plan revenue component by Twelfth
Finance Commission seemed to be rather conservative and hence the recommended committed
liabilities of plan schemes was unduly low. This is more so because in case of Assam, no
normalization of plan schemes had virtually taken place from Seventh Plan onwards. And it had,
in effect, reduced the development content of plan outlays to an abysmally low level.
In order to rectify this anomalous situation, Government of Assam has stated transferring
plan posts to non-plan revenue account from 2002-03 onwards. By and large, this has restored
the development content of plan outlays by reducing the existing preponderance of salary
ii
burden. Nonetheless, due to resource crunch, the non-wage related committed liabilities of plan
schemes are still borne under the plan itself. The plan posts so far transferred to non-plan posts
with financial implication thereof are indicated in the following table :

The Twelfth Finance Commission under assessed the non-plan revenue expenditure of
Assam. As such, the amount recommended by the Commission for transfer of committed
liabilities of plan schemes to non-plan proved to be inadequate and did not serve any purpose as
compared to the actual expenditure incurred by the Government of Assam. The pre-devolution
non-plan revenue deficit as assessed by the Twelfth Finance Commission for the first two years
2005-06 and 2006-07 vis-à-vis actual non-plan revenue deficit of the State Government are

34. Please give a note on the method of estimating the T&D losses. It should give the details of the measures taken to minimize them including metering and anti-theft measures. It may also be indicated if Energy Audits have been carried out. The method of estimation of Agricultural consumption should also be indicated giving the details of estimation for the reporting period.
T& D losses are estimated on actual basis i.e. on the basis of availability
and sale of power. The method of estimating the T & D losses is as follows:
Energy recorded at the injection point ( - ) Energy recorded at the consumer end
Energy recorded at the injection point X 100
Measures taken to minimize the T & D losses and anti theft measures are as follows
:
1. All defective and aging meters are being replaced by high quality electronic
meters.
2. In order to bring down the LT / HT ratio new distribution transformers have been
installed at load centre.
3. In addition to the billing at consumer premises another meter has been installed
outside the consumer premises as a check meter to compare the consumption.
This arrangement has been made for high value consumers only.
4. Routine analysis of downloaded Computerized meter reading instrument data of
Industrial Revenue Collection Area consumers is being made to check tampering
of meters.
5. Sub Divisional Engineers / Sub Manager Revenue have been directed to test
check some readings of all Meter Readers under his control every month. Any
discrimination noticed is reported to the Sr. Manager/ Chief Executive Officer for
disciplinary proceedings.
6. Disconnection squad in each sub- division has been strengthened by arranging
extra manpower, vehicle etc., so that on expiry of the notice time the service line
of the defaulting consumers can be disconnected.
7. Aggregate Transmission and Commercial ( AT & C ) losses are more in rural
areas. As such, under the Single Point Power Supply Scheme some Distribution
Transformers have been handed over to Franchisee for billing and collection of
revenue.
8. Computerized billing system has been introduced in most of the sub divisions to
reduce commercial losses.
9. In addition to the routine anti-theft drive done by the sub-divisions, one cell has
been formed under the direct control of the respective Sr. Managers in some
Divisions to detect theft cases.
10. Wide publicity has been given for giving information of theft cases to the concern
Sr. Managers/ Chief Executive Officers. The informer will be suitably rewarded
and their identity will not be disclosed.
11. The procedure for new service connection has been simplified to convert the
unauthorised consumer into regular consumer.
12. Feeder-wise energy audit has been started by metering all the feeders at injection
point. Arrangements have been made to meter all Distribution Transformers.
Energy Audit is a tool to ascertain the high loss feeder of the Sub- divisions. After
completion of metering, energy accounting will be started.
The method of estimation of Agricultural consumption is totally based on
actual basis as per the meter installed. In the Agricultural sector, major consumer
is Department of Irrigation, Government of Assam.

Following are the steps taken to improve the financial position of the Utilities:
A. Assumptions of liabilities of ASEB:
As a part of Power Sector Reforms, Government has taken a number of steps to improve the financial position of ASEB and its successor companies by assuming outstanding dues of ASEB payable to various institutions/organizations, which are as follows:
1. Scheme of securitization: Government securitised the outstanding dues
of power supplying CPSUs, namely, NEEPCO, NTPC and PGCIL as on Septemebr 1, 2001 amounting to Rs.857.53 crore by issuing power bonds under the Government of India’s Securitization Scheme.
2. Settlement of dues of OIL and GAIL: Government has settled the outstanding dues of ASEB amounting to Rs.161.97 crore and Rs.68.17 crore of fuel supplying CPSUs, namely, OIL and GAIL respectively through One Time Settlement.
3. Financial Restructuring Plan (FRP) of ASEB: Government of Assam has
assumed another amount of Rs.4560.00 crore through cross settlement under FRP notified by the Government. Under this plan Government has paid the outstanding dues of ASEB Bonds as on 31.03.2003 amounting to Rs.322.00 crore to all Bond holders.Outstanding dues of Rs.45.00 crore payable to LIC has been fully paid by the Government after negotiation. Outstanding dues of Rs.377.00 crore payable to REC and Rs.318 crore payable to Non-CPSUs as on 31.03.2003 have been rescheduled and being serviced by the Government. It has also cleared the post securitisation outstanding dues of Rs.96.00 crore payable to CPSU, namely, NEEPCO. In addition to that, Government has provided cash deficit support of Rs.271.00 crore to ASEB as per FRP.
4. Unbundling of ASEB & Transfer Scheme: The ASEB has been unbundled into five companies, namely, APGCL, ASGCL, UAEDCL, CAEDCL and LAEDCL. The assets and liabilities as per Opening Balance Sheet as on 01.04.2005 have been allocated
to these five companies as per the Transfer Scheme notified by the Government after cleaning up the ASEB’s Balance Sheet as on 31.03.2005.
B. ADB Loan:
Government has arranged ADB loan of US $ 250 million (Loan No.2036 IND: Assam Power Sector Development Programme of US $ 150 million and Loan No.2037 IND: Assam Power Sector Development Project of US $ 100 million). The major componets and output of the Programme comprise (i) ensuring independence of AERC, (ii) developing regulatory frame work and rules for independent tariff setting, (iii) implementing reorganization and financial restructuring of ASEB and (iv) formulating appropriate policies for implementing the Power Sector Reform. The project loan is meant for system development, namely, construction of 132 KV Su Station, Augmentation of existing Sub Stations, SCADA, installation of meter etc.
C. Other Steps:
Other necessary steps taken are as follows: 1. Improvement of transmission and distribution system. 2. The procedure for new service connection has been simplified to convert the
unauthorised consumer into regular consumer. 3. Arrangement for 100 % billing to all categories of consumers has been made
by outsourcing Meter Readers and Bill Clerks. 4. All defective and aging meters are being replaced by high quality electronic
digital meters. 5. Computerised billing system has been introduced in most of the Sub-Divisions
to reduce commercial loss. 6. Anti theft drive has been intensified in all Sub–Division level. 7. Energy Audit has been started to ascertain the high losses areas under the
feeder.

TOPICS ON WHICH NOTES ARE REQUIRED XI. PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRISES
38.
(a) Please give a note on measures taken to promote the efficiency of Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs).
(b) Does the State have any strategy for disinvestment ? Have any PSEs being closed/merged ? If so, the details may be given.
(c) Please give a detailed note on Voluntary Retirement scheme (VRS), if introduced and implemented, indicating the amount of funds earmarked for the scheme and the number of employees who have availed of the scheme.
(a) 38(a) There are 47 (forty seven) State Public Sector Enterprises at present under
administrative control of 22 Departments of the State Government with provisional total investment of Rs.6770 crore including State Government of Rs.6081 crore.
The Public Enterprises Department, apart from the set duties and responsibilities, has taken up various steps to reform the State Enterprises availing financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the Assam Governance & Public Resource Management – Sector Development Programme (AGPRM-SDP). A Committee was also constituted by the Public Enterprises Department in the State Government to study the affairs of the public enterprises of the State Government. The Department further proposed to constitute a Task-Force to study the issues of closure/revival of the existing public enterprises and to establish an Asset Management Cell in the premises of Assam Industrial Development Corporation Ltd.(AIDC) under direct supervision and control of the Task Force to oversee the disposal and alternative use of assets of the closed Public Enterprises (PSUs).
To make the PSUs more efficient and market oriented the State Government has taken the following steps :
1. To improve the power scenario, the ASEB has been re-organized into five companies, one each in generation and transmission and three in distribution. ADB fund of Rs.1250.00 crore have been invested in ASEB to modernize its age-old machineries & equipments, augmentation of transmission lines, commissioning the much awaited Kopily Project etc. for supply of quality power to the consumers.
2. To improve the public transport system, the Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) had taken help of the private transport operators as co-partner for mutual benefits and thereby significant improvement in ASTC has been noticed by way of providing better transport system and earned more revenue. The operational cost has been reduced considerably.
3. Majority of PSUs at present are no longer under protective environment and are facing the opened-up market economy.
4. All Productive PSUs are improving their health and as per latest report available, although provisional, about 14 PSUs, some of which were loss making, have started making operational profit and are expected to wipe out their accumulated losses in near future.
5. To improve efficiency further and to make the PSUs more accountable, various steps like introduction of MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding), Corporate Governance etc. are being addressed to.
38 (b)
No strategy for disinvestment has so far been formulated. The State Government has decided closure of 12 unviable Public Enterprises and 2 units of another Public Enterprise under the ADB’s AGPRM-SDP. The Cabinet has approved Rs.448.46 crore out of which the Government has so far released Rs.136.24 crore for payment of liabilities of closed 12 companies and 2 units. State Government has also taken up liquidation of the outstanding loans drawn by the PSUs under the Government guarantee from the Financial Institutions/Banks under One Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme. Further, Sub-Programme II of AGPRM-SDP is also under negotiation and the remaining outstanding dues of the closed PSUs will be liquidated on receipt of ADB assistance.
38 (c)
Resource constraints in the past hindered undertaking of VRS programme for the unviable and loss making State Public Sector Undertakings (SPSUs) on a large scale. Earlier, individual enterprise-wise reform programme could be taken up by shedding of surplus staff through VRS route with small doses as per availability of fund. State Government, therefore, looked forward for external assistance and this led ultimately to negotiation for loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under Assam Governance and Public Resopurce Management – Sector Development Programme (AGPRM – SDP) I & II.
To avail fund from ADB under AGPRM-SDP for reform and restructuring of SPSUs, the State Government notified a uniform Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) vide Notification No.PE.4/2006//28 dated 15.02.2006. The details of package under this VRS are given below:
1. The package under VRS in all the State Level Public Enterprises (SLPEs) in the State irrespective of whether the SLPEs are to be closed
or revived or whether the SLPEs can afford to discharge the dues to the employees on account of VRS from their own resource generation, but excluding Assam State Electricity Board will comprise of the followings:
a) Ex-gratia of 15 days’ pay (basic pay + dearness allowance) only against each completed year of service tendered or for the months of service left, whichever is less.
b) Cash payment for unutilized leave for a maximum period of 240 days (basic pay + dearness allowance only).
c) Balance of Contributory Provident Fund (CPF) dues payable as per Regulation of CPF
d) Gratuity as per Gratuity Act. e) Unpaid salary/wages (basic pay + dearness allowance) up to the date of
acceptance of VRS by the employee. f) Savings of Group Insurance Scheme.
2. In all calculations of VRS benefits, the basic pay and rate of dearness allowance shall be taken as on the date of application by an employee opting for VRS and the date of closure of the SLPE, whichever applicable. No request for any revision shall be entertained thereafter.
3. There will be no recruitment against vacancies arising out of implementation of VRS.
4. In implementing the VRS, the management should see that it is extended to employees who could be released without detriment yo the functioning of the concerned SLPEs.
5. Approval of Board of Directors and Administrative Department concerned would be obtained by the SLPEs for introducing VRS. Similarly, the Administrative Departments concerned will obtain prior approval of Public Enterprises Department and concurrence of Finance Department. In cases where costs of implementing VRS are proposed to be borne out of Plan fund, prior approval of the Planning & Development Department also will be necessary.
6. Once an employee avails VRS from an SLPE, he/she will not be allowed to take up employment in another SLPE or any State Government Department or any statutory body, society, trust or cooperative society or any body corporate with majority funding by the State Government. If he/she desires to do so, he/she have to return the full VRS compensation package to the State Government with 6% compound interest per annum for the period between the date of disbursement of VRS package and the date of joining employment under the State Government or any entity as mentioned above.
7. Full implementation of VRS will precede filing of closer application in respect of an SLPE.
8. No age bar or minimum qualifying service is prescribed for eligibility to avail VRS.
9. A section of employees of some SLPEs who may be absorbed in the State Govt. Departments, will not be entitled to VRS package. However, for the period of service rendered by such employees in an SLPE prior to absorption in a Government Department, he/she will be paid the arrear salary/wages (basic pay + dearness allowance only). They will not be eligible for any other component of the VRS package, as their problem of post-SLPE-service rehabilitation will be fully mitigated by employment in Government Departments.
10. Partially implemented cases of VRS on Assam Agro Industries Development Corporation (AAIDC) model out of Planning & Development Department’s VRS pool fund will also be covered under this scheme.
11. Depending on the magnitude and availability of fund, payment of employees’ dues including for VRS shall be made within a period of two yeares from the date of acceptance of VRS/closure, whichever earlier.
12. These policies shall be effective from the date of issue of this Notification.
ADB allocated US $ 35 million (Rs.159.04 crore) for settlement of OTS and outstanding closure liabilities including VRS dues of closed PSUs under Sub-Programme I of AGPRM-SDP. Against this allocation, Government of India released Rs.146.80 crore. Under the above VRS policy so far 4537 numbers of employees of 13 closed PSUs and 2 units of another PSU have been released at a cost of Rs.136 crore and an amount of Rs.22.50 crore was spent on OTS. Further, US $120 million has been allocated for closure liabilities including payment of VRS dues under Sub-Programme II of AGPRM-SDP. Under ADB funded AGPRM-SDP, following 13 PSUs and 2 units of one PSU were closed down.

P – Provisional Q – Quick Estimate
State Government’s Taxation Department has adopted certain measures as an effort for
improving Tax-GSDP ratio during the last five years as given below:
2002-03 Measures:
1. Assam General Sales Tax (A.G.S.T.) 1993 : As per Uniform Floor Rates (UFR) of tax, the tax
on liquor was levied at the rate of 20% with effect from 19.2.2002 by making amendment to relevant
schedules to the AGST Act, 1993. Full impact of this measure has been received from the year 2002-03.
2. The Assam Entry Tax (AET) 2001 : During the year 2002-03, an amendment to the AET Act,
2001 was made incorporating some more items viz. fish (excluding dry), flowers (natural), Ultra High
Temperature (UHT) milk nad eggs in the schedules of this Act to levy tax on these items was made with
effect from 2.8.2002. But subsequently, from November 2006, the collection of Entry Tax on these
items was not done as the Hon’ble Gauhati Court quashed this Act in August 2007.
3. The Assam Professions, Trades, Calling and Employments Taxation Act 1947 : The ceiling under the
Assam Professions, Trades, Calling and Employments Taxation Acts was raised from Rs.2250.00 per
annum to Rs.2500.00 with effect from 01.04.2002 and accordingly the rates of tax under different
categories and slabs have also been raised upward with effect from 01.04.2002.
4. Assam Taxation (On Luxuries) Act, 1997 : An Amendment was made to the Assam Taxation
(On Luxuries) Act, 1997 to levy tax on Biri and edible oils including vegetable ghee manufactured
outside the country with effect from 08.05.2002 for augmentation of additional resources. The Act was
nullified by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in December 2004.
2003-04 Measures
1. The Assam Entry Tax (AET), 2001 : An amendment was made by the Government with effect
from 28th
August 2003 to levy tax on fish including dry fish, processed fruit juice, bell metal and brass,
biscuits, sugar and textile etc. But subsequently, from November 2006, the collection of Entry Tax on
these items was not done as, the Hon’ble Gauhati High Court quashed this Act in August 2007.
2004-05 Measures
1. During the year 2004-05, the Assam Taxation (Settlement of Disputes Amendment) Act, 2004 was
passed for settlement of disputes of demand tax, interest and penalty pending before
Appeal/Revision/High Court/Supreme/Board Revenue etc. and for wiping out the arrear lying pending
in these levels. The arrears of revenue out of this measure was collected in the year 2004-05 and are
given in the Statement No.15. There was no collection of this revenue from this measure since 2005-06.
2. The Assam Entry Tax (AET), 2001 : During 2004-05 certain new items such as crude oil,
bamboo, films of all kinds including X-ray films etc. have been included in the schedule to the Assam
Entry Tax Act, 2001 with effect from 01.10.2004. But subsequently, from November 2006, the
collection of Entry Tax on these items was not done for the reason stated above.
2005-06 Measures
1. Due to implementation of the Assam Value Added Tax Act, 2003 with effect from 1st May 2005,
no additional measure was taken during the year 2005-06 in the area of Sales Tax.
2. Under the Assam Taxation (on specified land) Act, 1990 an amendment was made to levy cess
on land bearing crude oil, natural gas, coal and lime with effect from 01.01.2005. But due to
appeal filed by the concerned oil companies before the Hon’ble Gauhati High the Department
did not receive any amount from the oil companies under this Act except cess on coal during
2005-06.
Measures under Assam Governance and Public Resource Management – Sectoral Development
Programme (AGPRM-SDP)
Government of Assam has been implementing Externally Aided Project viz. AGPRM-SDP with
financial assistance from Asian Development Bank since December 2004 for reform and restructuring
of State finances and State Public Sector Undertakings. The Sub-Programme I of AGPRM-SDP covers
the period from 2004-05 to 2006-07 and Sub-Programme II of AGPRM-SDP covers the period from
2008-09 to 2010-11.
Under Sub-Programme I, a number of measures have been taken for reform and restructuring of
State finances as detailed below:
1. Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced with effect from 1st May 2005 under sales tax
administration reforms.
2.Advalorem excise duty on India Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and an alternative method of
collection of excise, i.e. through auctions for country spirits in place of earlier fixed fee based
licenses, were notified to enhance transparency in excise tax collection.
3. Composite check post at entry/exit points viz. Srirampur, Boxirhat and Digarkhal were notified
for augmentation of State’s taxes.
4. A Tax Information Management System (TIMS) was implemented by way of which all the 77
Sales Tax Offices and Check Gates were computerized and connected with State Headquarter
through central server.
Under Sub-Programme II of AGPRM-SDP, the following initiatives are proposed to be taken up :
1. Adoption of a VAT Audit Manual including including standardized tools for
undertaking audits by the tax administration officials.
2. Operationalization of at least one composite check post.
3. Implementation of Objective Valuation Method (OVM) for properties.
4. Computerization of registration of properties in all districts except the districts
under autonomous council.
As a result of above measures taken during the last five years, the Tax-GSDP, which was 3.84%
in 2000-01 has increased to 5.36% in 2006-07.
41(b) There is a separate Branch in the office of the Commissioner of Tax, Assam with a organized
system for tax policy analysis and revenue forecasting as a tool to informed decision making of the State
Government.

TOPICS ON WHICH NOTES ARE REQUIRED
XIV. INTRA-STATE REGIONAL DISPARITIES
42. (a) Please give a note on different aspects of intra-State regional disparities relating to
sectors like Agriculture, Industries and Services and important publicly provided
services like Education, Health, Water Supply, Sanitation and other Social
Services. Inter-regional and Inter-district wise profile may be given in this regard.
(b) Show disparities with objective indicators like literacy rate, IMR, MMR etc.
(c) Show inter-regional differences in per capita expenditure in State Budgets in some
of the important services.
(a)
Every country, whether developed or underdeveloped has economically advanced and backward
regions. Instances are not lacking when a country is divided into regions based on linguistic or racial
differences as in the case of India and Belgium. Region, in the Indian context, means a State within the
Union of India, which is formed on linguistic basis. But for the purpose of planning, it may imply an
economically backward area within a State such as northern Bihar, eastern U.P., northern Bengal or
desert areas of Rajasthan and dry areas of Haryana. Region may thus be viewed as an economic entity
within a State, whether it may be a district, a town or a village.
Assam is not divided into regions in terms of backwardness. But wide disparities among the
different districts prevail in Assam. This is evident from the respective contribution of the different
districts to the State Domestic Product. An idea about relative contribution of districts of the State to the
State Domestic Product (SDP) may be had from the information furnished at Table below:
District-wise Percentage Contribution by Different Sectors to SGDP of the Sector during 2003-04,

Kamrup district contributes the highest proportion of the State Domestic Product (17.57 per
cent), while the contribution by N.C. Hills district is the least (0.93 per cent), reflective of the vast gap
in their levels of economic development.
The contribution of different districts to State GDP for the year 2003-04 (at current prices) in the
primary sector range from the highest of 11.74 per cent in Sibsagar district to the lowest of 1.49 per cent
in N.C. Hills district. In the secondary sector, the highest contribution of 21.98 per cent comes from
Kamrup district, while the North Cachar Hills district has the least contribution of 0.92 per cent in this
sector as well. In the tertiary sector, the North Cachar Hills district contributes only 0.52 per cent to the
total domestic product of this sector. The contribution of other districts like Dhemaji, Hailakandi,
Goalpara and Morigaon was also low. Kamrup dominates in this sector and contributes an impressive
24.29 per cent.

XVII. USER CHARGES:
45.
(a) Sector-wise rates of user charges and present collection system together with present user charges as percentage of O&M Cost
(b) Whether any users association has been formed? If yes, effectiveness of this users association in collection of arrears and charges.
�� ���In Assam the collection from user charges is very negligible. The user charges in most cases are
not indexed to inflation and bear little relationship with operation and maintenance cost. In health
sector State Government has from time to time been increasing user charges for the services provided
to the people and collects the charges from the people directly. In education sector, State Government
also introduced different types of fees in Secondary and Higher Education including Technical
Education from time to time. But collection from such fees is not adequate to cover operational and
maintenance costs. In view of the social obligation for providing social security to the people, the
Government cannot impose exorbitant rates of fees in the form of user charges in health and education
sector. There are no user committees and user associations for O & M cost in any service sectors except
water supply schemes and irrigation schemes in the State.
User Charge for Water Supply Schemes
At present there are 2429 nos of completed Pipe Water Supply Schemes (PWSS). The
department has adopted a policy to maintain the completed PWSS through Users’ Committee to lessen
the burden of O & M cost of the schemes. There are 308 Users Committees for maintaining the water
supply schemes in water supply and sanitation sector. As per departmental norms, these Committees
collect user fees with the help of Executive Engineer. At present, Rs. 500.00 as one time charges and
Rs.50.00 per house connection per month towards O & M cost are collected. There is also a provision
to collect Rs.5.00 per month per family for each community street hydrant.
Uptill now, 666 Nos. of PWSS are maintained through users’ Committees. Generally average monthly
maintenance cost of each scheme is Rs.8000/- per month. So, for 666 Nos of schemes, total
maintenance cost per year comes to Rs.6.39 crore. But average annual collection of user fees for these
schemes is Rs.1.52 crore only which is 23.8% of total maintenance cost of these schemes. At present,
number of house connection is very less against schemes. If the number of house connections can be
increased, more revenues can be collected.
Regarding Spot Sources Scheme, the norms for collection of user fee for maintenance is
Rs.5.00 per house hold per month. This user fee is not collected through the users committees.
However, the Spot Sources are proposed to be handed over to PRIs for maintenance.
User Charge for Irrigation Schemes
In Irrigation Sector, State Government levied Irrigation Service Charges for realization from the
beneficiaries of all types of irrigation schemes at the rates indicated below with effect from 30th
March
2000.
Crops Rate/Hect.
1. Kharif Rs.281.24
2. Wheat and other Rabi crop Rs.562.50
3. Early Ahu Rs.751.00
4. Ahu Rs.751.00
5. Jute Rs.150.00
6. Sugarcane Rs.222.00
The present system of collection of Irrigation Service Charges is that the charges are
assessed on the basis of area irrigated by the individual beneficiary cultivators in terms of hectares of a
particular crop as per record maintained by the respective office in the Water Distribution Register. The
realization of irrigation service charges during last five years are furnished below.
Year Amount realized (Rs. in
lakh)
2002-03 1.74
2003-04 2.86
2004-05 4.92
2005-06 3.53
2006-07 2.06 �� ���There are no users associations in Assam except in Irrigation Sector. There are 720 Nos
Water Users’ Associations (WUAs) formed under the Society Act within command area of Irrigation
Schemes under Irrigation Department, Assam of which 388 Nos. have already been registered. “The
Assam Irrigation Water Users Act, 2004” has been enacted to empower the WUAs in the system of
Operation & Maintenance and collection of user charges etc. and for active participation in the system.
Farmer’s motivation trainings are conducted from time to time and such training involving 724
cultivators from 181 WUAs have been conducted so far. The WUAs help the officials of Irrigation
Department in realization of Irrigation Service Charges from the beneficiaries regularly.
The revised user charges on different facilities and services provided by the Government in
health sector effective from 04.06.2003 are given in the Table below :
