AP IAS vs. Contractor: Treasury Nil … Bill full …
AP IAS vs. Contractor: In view of the dispute with the Finance Department on the payment of bills to contractors in Andhra Pradesh, many issues have come up. Contractors are demanding the implementation of the first policy on payment of bills.
Officials have expressed helplessness that contractors indicate deficiencies in CFMS policy policies. Around 7,000 contractors across Andhra Pradesh are pending about Rs 3,000 crore from the state government. Contractors are demanding that by the end of March, the bank’s loan should be released to some extent in the outstanding amount.
The AP has high impact work, disaster management work, construction of polavaram rehabilitation colonies, construction of PHC, construction of drinking water pipelines, funds and repairs of the 15th Finance Committee. After the new government came to power, road construction, repair, housing and drainage were also done.
Apart from the work done in the last five years, bills have been supported by the coalition government for 9 months after the government came to power. With the recommendations of local MLAs and ministers, the work to be done in constituencies has been handed over in August.
Where to remove the payment of bills…
New methods have started in the last five years in payment of bills. Talodas is given the process of paying for earlier work. The same method is being followed even after the coalition government. There are allegations that small contract companies are leaving small contractors to pay. Contractors are embarrassed to give priority to some people of Elvosi to pay.
To end this, bills were paid for the work done in Rayalaseema in Chittoor, Kadapa and Pulivendu. The contractors allege that the government has changed without lack of funds as the government has allocated funds from the capital head. On the other hand, only those who have paid the Finance Department, and even small contractors are now on the road.
Payment is made only when government orders …
Finance department officials have decided that bills will not be paid by April. The argument of the authorities is different. It is said that the role of the Finance Department is nominal that the government will decide to pay the bills. The Secretary has suggested that the elders of the government should be contacted even when the contractors demand the payment of the bill in the Finance Department.
It is said that the state government is not suitable for payment for current financial status bills, and that the salaries of employees are to be paid and compulsory schemes to be implemented. According to AP Finance Department sources, the officers are not in a state of sympathy for the contractors’ issue and there is no situation to make their own decisions on payment.
Financial sources have also dismissed allegations that some payments are being made. He said that pending bills were approved for everyone in priority. He said that the pending bills are now being cleared between 2014-19. The contractors are also aware of the decision to pay bills to the authorities and suggest that the matter should be settled with the government.
