Husband and Wife

How a married couple is treated in various Central Government Service matters when both Husband and Wife are serving in Central Government?

The need to have a clarity on this subject gains much significance because treatment of them could differ in each law as each one would treat them according to the intention of the particular law. 

For example, both are entitled to draw HRA even if they work in the same station, and live together but not provided with Government accommodation. 

But when comes to Allotment of Quarters maintained by Government, only one residence will be provided to them except in the case of Judicial separation.

This article is a compilation of regulations in various service matters in respect of Husband and Wife when both are Central Government Employees.

House Building Advance

HBA can be claimed by either of them.  As per Rule 2 of HBA Rules, for the purpose of eligibility based on cost-ceiling of the house to be constructed, pay of both of them can be taken in to account.  However, for the purpose of calculating the maximum amount of advance eligible under HBA, only the pay of the employee who prefers to avail HBA can be taken in to account.

Car & Computer Loan

(Rule 18)

A simple interest at rate of 11.5% is payable by the employee for the car loan obtained by him ( Rule 20)

The total amount of advance which may be granted to a Government servant for the purchase of a motor car for the first occasion shall not exceed Rs. 1,80,000 (Rupees One lakh eighty thousand) or eight months' basic pay of the Government servant taken together, or the anticipated price of the motor car, to be purchased by the Government servant, whichever is the least.

Machnur

Machnur :- 

It is religious place and known as Shri-Kshetra Machnur. It is situated in Mangalvedha tahasil and about 40 km away from the Solapur. It is famous for Sidheshwar, Mallikarjun, Jata Shankar temples and also scenic view of Bhima River. Though it is religious, it has historical background. Aurangjeb stayed here with his defence force from 1695 to 1700; when he destroyed the statues of god. But in Nijam-Shahi period, they renewed and sanctioned some yearly grant for the care and development of this site.

At destination there is group of temples which is located on the bank of Bhima River. To visit this site tourist has to go Machnur via Mangalvedha. Mangalvedha is tahasil place and it is joined to Solapur, Pandharpur, Sangola and Vijapur by the metalled roads. There are number of S.T. buses from these places to Mangalvedha and from Mangalvedha to Machnur.

Sidheswar, Mallikarjun, Jata Shankar, Watvrukshya temple and Samathi of Babamaharaj Arvikar, Kabar of Begam; Ghat of the Bhima river, Fort of Machnur; scenic view of Bhima river, Sidhapur Ganpati temple (7 kms) are the important sites to see here.

In tourist point of view, it has good road transport facilities to reach the distination. Tourist can make use of S.T. buses or private taxies or private buses also. It has good mobile communication facilities. But for accommodation tourist has to depend on rest houses of Z.P. Irrigation and PWD departments in Mangalvedha. Machnur is facing not the problem of accommodation but also, problems of parking, rail transport, hygenic facilities like toilets and latrines and purchasing etc. If these facilities are provided then it will be one of the best tourist place in study area.
