To
The Honourable Chief Minister
Govt. of Jammu and Kashmir
Civil Secretariat Jammu.
Subject: Conveyance Allowance for Employees with Disabilities.
Respected Sir
Humanity Welfare organization Helpline is a registered NGO working for the Rights of the persons with disabilities in Jammu and Kashmir state. We are doing advocacy for the persons with disabilities so that they can seek their due and live a dignified life.
In connection to above cited subject it is requested to your good-self that According to civil service rules employees with disabilities are getting conveyance allowance under Article – 328 to 328 – D with effect from 1 – 12 – 1998. The allowance granted is Rs: 200/= or 5 % of basic pay whichever is less.
Therefore all employees with disabilities get Rs 200/= as the amount is less than the 5% of the basic pay. It is also worth to mention that only two types of persons with disabilities “blind” and “orthopaedic” have been covered under the facility of the conveyance allowance.
It is therefore requested that the amount granted is very meagre. Rising prices has created the economic instability and pay dissatisfaction. The persons with disabilities have special needs. They cannot travel in normal transport, mostly in peak hours of office and school trimmings. In addition they have problems in getting on to the overloaded buses. It is not easy to manage our conveyance in rupees 200/=. in many states the conveyance allowance for Employees with Disabilities is more than 1000/= rupees. Therefore it is requested to your highness that employees with disabilities may also be given at least Rs 2000/= two thousands as the conveyance allowance. So that they can also travel with dignity.
The conveyance allowances enhancement will rightly prove the Equal opportunities, Protection of the Rights and full participation as guaranteed by the JK persons with disabilities Act 1998.
With Best Regards
Yours faithfully
Javed Ahmad Tak
