Special Festive Advance Scheme: This year Holi is falling on 29th March i.e. the end of the month. Talking about the salaried class, the pressure on spending money at the end of the month usually increases. But the Central Government’s Special Festival Advance Scheme can end this tension of central employees. Under this scheme, central government employees can take advance up to 10 thousand rupees. The government will not take any interest on this advance, it can be repaid in 10 installments. Its last date is 31 March 2021.
This special is also because when the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission came into force, there was no provision for advance at that time. Earlier, in the Sixth Pay Commission, 4500 rupees was available. But this time the Government of India has made a provision of Rs 10,000 in the advance scheme. To repay this, a monthly installment of 1000 rupees will be made. This scheme can be availed before this date.
