 PREFACE

The Pay Research Unit of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance brings
out a “Brochure on Pay and Allowances of Central Government Civilian Employees”
on an annual basis. As in the past, the Brochure for 2005-06 provides statistical information
on expenditure incurred by different Ministries/Departments of the Central Government on
Pay and Allowances including Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, City
Compensatory Allowance, Overtime Allowance, etc. in respect of its regular employees.
The Brochure also contains information on the group-wise number of sanctioned posts and
of incumbents in position in various Ministries/Departments.

2. The data in the Brochure has been compiled on the basis of quarterly returns on
expenditure on pay and allowances and annual returns on the strength of Central Government
civilian employees furnished by the Central Government establishments to the Pay Research
Unit of this Department.

3. The Brochure may be of use for personnel planning and for preparation of reliable
estimates of financial implications of various proposals concerning pay and allowances of
Central Government employees. While all efforts have been made to present the data in a
meaningful manner, suggestions for further improvement would be welcome.

4. Ministry of Finance would like to thank all the Central Government Ministries/
Departments/Organisations for their cooperation in furnishing the data, without which this
compilation would not have been possible. This Ministry would also like to acknowledge the
contribution of the National Informatics Centre (North Block).
