Sir, Sub:- Operationalisation of Discoms Financial Autonomy Plan Reg. &&& We have had extensive discussions over the past few weeks on the above subject.

Yours faithfully,

FINANCIAL AUTONOMY OF DISCOMS In order to transition from the current state of financial dependence on APTRANSCO to a state where they attain financial autonomy the following have been proposed. Identification of a Lead Banker DISCOMs shall open a separate No-lien Account with their lead banker and also maintain receipt account with various collecting banks (similar to the main receipt account of Discoms now being maintained at Hyderabad) at their Headquarters. The day to day revenue collections remitted by the field units into the field bank branches will be transferred to the main receipt accounts of the respective banks at the headquarters of Discoms which in turn will transfer the funds to the No-lien account maintained with the lead banker on daily bases. The Discom shall issue standing instructions to the lead banker stating that, all the funds pooled into the No-lien Account shall be transferred to APTRANSCO, to the extent of BST amount and any excess over and above the BST bill shall be transferred to current account of respective Discom. Collection against Sale of Power - The energy bill shall be raised in triplicate by AP TRANSCO on the DISCOMS by the 10th of the month and duly certified copy of the bill by Discom shall be furnished to their lead banker by 12th of the month, so as to transfer the amounts from the No-lien Account to the main banker of APTRANSCO. BST - From the 1st of the Month, the collection would be transferred to AP TRANSCO till the BST amount is reached and the surplus if any, would be transferred to the DISCOM current account. This builds in the 30 day credit period for payment of bulk supply charges, as in the Bulk Supply Agreement (BSA), since the current outstanding on account of bulk supply charges by DISCOMs (except EPDCL) are already more than 30 days. Further, charges for delays in payment of BST would be as per the BSA. Employee Costs: DISCOMs should compute the amount towards salaries and wages of employees and the pension amounts, to be paid before the end of the month and intimate the same, after endorsement of the amount by APTRANSCO, to be lead banker by the 20th of the month. Based on the intimation, the lead banker shall keep aside this amount, form the collections made in the week starting the 22nd of the month, and transfer the funds to the DISCOM current account. Transfer to AP TRANSCOs account for payment of Bulk Supply Charges, during this period shall be suspended till such time that the amount as intimated above is set aside. This arrangement is subjected to review from time to time depending upon fund flow position of DISCOMs / AP TRANSCO. EPDCL : An option is available to EPDCL instead of the above arrangement. Since the collections for this DISCOM are more than the BST payable to AP Transco, the LT collections of Operations CircleVisakhapatnam, can be retained by the Discom and not clubbed into the no-lien account with the lead banker. The adequacy of the collections from the identified area can be reviewed every quarter and suitable changes made. HT Consumers: Subject to consent of DISCOMs the APTRANSCO will continue to receive the collections pertaining to HT Consumers and pass on the credit to the respective Discoms through BST. Subsidy from GOAP to the DISCOM Presently, the GOAP disburses the subsidy to AP Transco. In case, the Go AP continues to do the same, then AP Transco shall collect the subsidy on behalf of the DISCOMs from the GoAP. The amounts collected would be adjusted against the BST and a credit to the effect would be given in the energy bill. Further given the pressure of the Regulator for disbursement of subsidy directly to DISCOMs, Go AP may start remittance of subsidy directly to the DISCOMs. Only the electricity duty (ED) payable by the DISCOM is to be adjusted against the subsidy. The ploughback dues, pertaining to AP Transco and AP Genco shall be handled by AP Transco. However, in case, the GoAP does deduct any such further amounts (ie other than ED) the same can be raised as a debit note by the DISCOM on AP Transco to be adjusted

186

against the payment of BST. Debt Servicing In respect of existing loans of ongoing capital works (which are between AP Transco and the lenders), the loan drawals and debt servicing of the same would be done by AP Transco. The credit and debit notes would be issued by AP Transco, to the respective DISCOM, along-with the energy bill. Talks are to be initiated with the lenders to split and assign the instruments to the DISCOMs under a multi-partite agreement. Till such time, that an agreement is reached with the lenders, all future receipts/ drawals from the existing loans(pertaining to DISCOM schemes) would be passed on in cash to the respective DISCOM as and when the same are received from the financial institutions, without delay. These receipts from the lenders against capital works would be paid directly into the current account of the DISCOM. All new instruments on loans shall be in the name of the DISCOM, and the DISCOM shall deal directly with the lenders to draw the loans, manage and service them as per the payment schedule. Lease Rentals - In respect of the sale and leaseback transactions, the lease rentals would be continued to be paid by AP Transco and debit notes would be passed on to the respective DISCOMs alongwith the energy bill. However, in the cse of the operational and financial leases, the payment would have to be made/ arranged by the respective DISCOMs. Working Capital Loan Limits- AP Transco shall work along with the DISCOMs to help them establish banking relationships and raise working Capital raise working capital loans. These limits would have to be operated by the DISCOMs as and when necessary to fund their gaps. The servicing of the same would also be the responsibility of the DISCOMs. The DISCOMs should get the information proformas from AP Transco and be ready to provide the same to the bankers. Outstanding Dues of DISCOMs to AP Transco The DISCOMs should coordinate with AP Transco to ensure reconciliation of AP Transco balances in DISCOM books as on March 31, 2002 by end April 2002. Accordingly, the statutory audit of the accounts should be completed and account made available for this reconciliation. The recovery of these outstanding dues by the DISCOMs and its repayment shall be discussed separately. Pension, Commutation of Pension, Gratuity And Final GPF: The commitment towards terminal benefits (like pension/commutation of pension and gratuity) are to be met from the pension and gratuity trust funds and final GPF payments from the GPF Trust funds. Since, both the Trust funds are in the books of APGENCO, the respective Discoms on payment of these commitments may raise debit note on APTRANSCO and adjust the same against Bulk Supply bills payable to APTRANSCO which inturn, will be adjusted by AP TRANSCOagainst power purchase Bills payable to APGENCO. Director Finance An endeavor is in progress to appoint a full-time Director Finance, for the DISCOMs were not appointed as yet, by June 30, 2002. Regular Activities: Reconciliation of AP Transco balances in DISCOM books The reconciliation of AP Transco and DISCOM accounts would be done on a monthly basis, by 25th of the ensuing month. Preparation of cashflow statements The DISCOMs shall prepare and send the monthly cashflow statements of AP Transco by 5th of every month. The same would help AP Transco in assessing the working capital requirements for the month. AP Transco support in meeting the monthly cash flow gap Further to the cash forecast provided on the 5th, the DISCOMs shall send a firmed up cash gap statement to AP Transco by the 12th of the month, which would reflect the cash gap expected at the end of the month. Based on the same, AP Transco would endeavor to provide assistance to the DISCOMs for raising the requisite loans, if any, to meet the cashflow gap.

187

Loans from AP Transco In urgent situations the DISCOMs can approach AP Transco to provide assistance. Such loans raised, with the assistance of AP Transco to meet cash-flow gaps of the DISCOMs would be in the books of the DISCOM and would have to be serviced by the DISCOMs. Further, in case, AP Transco raises the loan in its own name for a DISCOM, the interest costs of the same would be passed on to the particular DISCOM. External accounting firm The DISCOM are authorized to engage the services of a local firm of accountants, for assisting the company in the various process which would have to be established / institutionalized to attain financial autonomy. Consultant support A resource from the consultants, Arthur Andersen would be available to provide support during the initial period. The timeframe for transition is envisaged for a period of 12 months (i.e. till March 31, 2003).

Sub:- Public Servants Dismissal of accursed Officers from service immediately on conviction even if the appeal filed by him is pending before the Appellate Court Government Servants convicted are not eligible to be in service till they are honourably acquitted by the Appellate CourtInstructionsIssued. *** The Supreme Court in its latest judgment in K. C. Sareen Vs. Chandigarh, 2001(5) Supreme 437 decided on 2.8.2001 as follows: Corruption by public servants has now reached a monstrous dimension in India. Its tentacles have started grappling even the institutions created for the protection of the Republic. Unless those tentacles are intercepted and impeded from gripping the normal and orderly functioning of the public Offices, through strong legislative, executive as well as judicial exercises the corrupt public servants as well as judicial exercises the corrupt public servants could even paralyse the functioning of such institutions and thereby hinder the democratic polity. Proliferation of corrupt public servants could garner momentum to ripple the social order if such men are allowed to continue to manage and operate public institutions. When a public servant was found guilty of corruption after a judicial adjudicatory process conducted by a court of law, judiciousness demands that he should be treated as corrupt until he is exonerated by a superior court. The mere fact that an appellate or revisional forum has decided to entertain his challenge and to go into the issues and findings made against such public servants once again should not even temporarily absolve him from such findings. If such a public servant becomes entitled to hold public office and to continue to do official acts until he is judicially absolved from such findings by reason of suspension of the order of conviction it is public interest which suffers and sometimes even irreparably. When a public servant who is convicted of corruption is allowed to continue to hold public office it would impair the morale of the other persons manning such office, and consequently that would crode the already shrunk confidence of the people in such public institutions besides demoralizing the other honest public servants who would either be the colleagues or subordinates of the convicted person. If honest public servants are compelled to take orders from proclaimed corrupt officers on account of the suspension of the conviction the fall out would be one of shaking the system itself. Hence it is necessary that the court should not aid the public servant who stands convicted for corruption charges to hold only public office until he is exonerated after conducting a judicial adjudication at the appellate or revisional level. The above policy can be acknowledged as necessary for the efficacy and proper functioning of public offices. If so, the legal position can be laid down that when conviction is on a corruption charge against a public servant the appellate court or the revisional court should not suspend the order of conviction during the pendency of the appeal even if the sentence or imprisonment is suspended. It would be a sublime public policy that the convicted public servant is kept under disability of the conviction in spite of keeping the sentence of imprisonment in abeyance till the disposal of the appeal or revision. In the light of the above categorical direction of the Supreme Court, Government hereby instructs that to take action forthwith for dismissal of public servants convicted of corruption and criminal misconduct immediately upon such conviction without for any appeal and that the appointing/disciplinary authorities will be personally held responsible for non implementation of the instructions and that they will be liable for disciplinary action, if in site of these instructions it is found convicted Officers continuing in service without

192

being dismissed immediately or continue to receive provisional pension if they have already retired in the meantime without action to withhold pension and other pensionary benefits or withdraw pension entirely as the case may be disregarding these instructions. It is also directed the salary/pension/provisional pension paid after the judgment convicting the accused public servant shall be liable to be recovery from the appointing authority. Consultation with Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission in such cases has also been dispensed with. All Departments of Secretariat and Heads of Departments are requested to opposed any application for the suspension of courict in such cases quoting the above judgment of the Supreme Court. All Departments of Secretariat and Heads of Departments and requested to follow the above instructions scrupulously and also to communicate the above instructions to the public enterprises, autonomous bodies and other institutions receiving grant in aid etc under their administrative control.

In case there is a need for some of the items to be executed through smaller contracts, reasons must be given by the concerned Chief Engineer/Superintending Engineer/ Executive Engineer and seek approval by the Corporate Office before the work is taken up. These works, however, must not exceed 10% of the main work and must be exception in nature.
