2. In continuation of these instructions, sanction of Ministry of Railways is hereby communicated for revision of monthly honorarium for Ayurvedic/ Homeopathic dispensaries as per following:
8 hours duration – Rs.11250

3. Annual allotment for ‘Indigenous System of Medicine’ under SBF (under which Homeopathic and Ayurvedic dispensary function) at Rs.36 per capita, if found inadequate to meet the increase in requirement of funds on account of the above revision in the honorarium, the additional expenditure (necessitated due to revision) under these orders would also be met through re-appropriation from the head “Medical Services” as additional ad hoc contribution to the SBF, and, accordingly, the Medical Budget would be suitably augmented from Revenues. Hence, PCPO would advise CMDs about the additional funds required on this account so that the same could be reflected in the budgetary estimates.
