CABINET APPROVES 8% HIKE IN DEARNESS ALLOWANCE FOR CG EMPLOYEESFamily Planning Allowance to Central Government employees – FAQ
Family Planning Allowance to Central Government employees :- Family Planning Allowance, it is one of the severe steps taken by the Central Government to check growing population. At that time incentives were announced to Government employees, those having three children. In the following days it was reduced to two children.
The sterilisation operation which is performed for this is known as tubectomy(for women) and vasectomy(for men). This is a permanent method of family planning, which means once you opt this and undergo this procedure the reversal of the condition is not possible.

One would get incentive according to the pay scale-grade, not to be absorbed in future increases in pay. The rate of increment was equal to the amount of the next increment due at the time of grant of the incentive and it remain fixed during the entire service.

Sir,
1 Doubling of the allowance and future abosorption in pay are two different things.The allowance need to be doubled as there is no bar on increase of the allowance in future. The only bar that has been put is not to merge it in future pay revisions.
Whether hysterocomy comes under purview of sterlisation because it mentioned tubectomy(for women) whereas in hysterocomy, reproductive organ i.e. utereous is removed therefore the same is more permanent method that tuberctomy.
If husband and wife both CG employee both are elegible for FPA?
If it is done during delivery in private nurshing home so how can one get the sterilisation cerificate?
Hai
The aim of incentive for small family scheme is to attract the govt servants to take part in the population controll programme by the government.In this regard the contribution from all the govrnment servants are equal.Why there are more than 10 diffrent amount of incentives. The amount of incentives should be same for all government servants.
Murali kannur.
sir;
i am a central govt employee if my wife (not a govt employee) gets a family planning operation done can i claim family planning allowance
prashant said....
sir,
First the amount of incentive should be the same for all government employees.And why amount of FPA is still be compared with 5th cpc
pay-scales after 6th cpc is implemented.Example: my grade pay is 4600.00 in PB2 & iam getting FPA of Rs.400.00 against Old scale of Rs.5500-15-9000.
I was in Indian Navy when my wife went for the family planning operation. That time i was given this allowance by Indian Navy but after my retirement from the service ,I was re-employed by MCD in 2003. When I ask for the incentive/Allowance from MCD, than They told me in writing that you can't be given this allowance because when you joined this MCD ,you have undergone for this operation. Secondly once your family allowance gets break in service this allowance will be discontinue. Now question arises that Military personnel should be treated separately as they gets break in their service. I have submitted a reprenatsion for that in MOD/Def .Min. but no reply received till to date kindly advise me in this direction thank and waiting for your reply.9250302123
Sir, I am a Central Government Employee. Before implementation of sixth pay commission I have been given family planning allowance @ Rs 150/-. Therefore, after implementation of sixth pay commision and consequent of revision of family planning allowance my FPA should be Rs 400/- but my employer is granting me FPA @ Rs 300/-PM which seems to be wrong. Kindly clarify how much FPA entitled to me at present. An early reply is highly solicited.

Sir, I am exserviceman and retired after 20 yrs of service as a noble cause of nation to keep the service profile youth. Every year appx 50000 defence personnel retires out of which 35000 plus falls in lower age category i.e 35-45 yrs. Due to active participation of defence wives association in encouraging their sahelis to opt better life style and education about small family norms and its benefits in life to come.sterlisation takes place and allowances admissible and avail for a few years by the beneficiaries and leaves the services in lower age group, pensioner is not entitled for such allowances. Is this not discouraging new for defence personnel. PL consider it to civilian counter parts age of retirement i.e 60 yrs or life long. Suffering rest life long.
