under the new formula.
This
provision is effective from 1-4-1967.
N.B.:
(1) Towns with a population of 50,000 and above according to the latest census
would be considered as urban areas for this purpose.
(2)
The term “tuition fees” referred to in item B (i) of the above formula means tuition
fees only and does not include other authorised fees such as term fees,
admission fees, etc, levied by the schools.
(3)
The word “rent” mentioned in item A(ii) above means admissible rent of the
school building as well as the school play ground.
(4)

estimates of their anticipated expenditure for that year on salaries,
allowances and provided fund contribution of the staff which has opted for P.F.
Scheme together with definite reasons by way of justification in support of any
increase in expenditure on the same item during the preceding year. After
scrutiny of the estimates so received, the reasonable amount of anticipated
expenditure under this item will be roughly assessed and the first instalment
of grant will be calculated accordingly and releases before the due date.
Before releasing the second instalment of the progress of expenditure incurred
during the first six months or nine months of the year on this item, beginning
of the year will be revised, if necessary. If the original estimates are found
to be on the higher side, as compared with the revised estimates based on the
