The allowance will be effective from October 4, 2011 or the date of the issue of the order. The department of personnel and training or DoPT issued the order. Unlike the popular perception, CBI does not come under ministry of home affairs (MHA), but under the personnel ministry headed by Prime Minister of India.
The issue of granting special incentive allowance to its employees was taken up by the CBI, and in April, 2011 Calcutta High Court passed a favourable judgment in a case filed by one Kisalay Mukherjee. The government’s move will have an additional burden on the exchequer. But the ministry of finance in an order dated September 27, 2011 approved the grant.
The CBI has been investigating a number of high profile cases related to 2G spectrum and Commonwealth Games.
