Special Festival Advance Scheme for Central Government Employees

Under the special festival advance scheme, Ms. Sitharaman said, an interest free festival advance of Rs. 10,000/- will be made available to all government employees.

The government has announced a one-time interest-free festival of Rs 10,000 for all its officers and employees as part of a plan to increase consumer spending to boost demand in the economy.

1) Measures to Stimulate Consumer Spending

Proposals to stimulate consumer spending has two components

LTC Cash Voucher Scheme

Under LTC Cash Voucher Scheme, government employees can opt to receive cash amounting to leave encashment + 3 times ticket fare, to buy something of their choice. The items bought should be those attracting GST of 12% or more. Only digital transactions are allowed, GST Invoice to be produced.

The biggest incentive for employees to avail the LTC Cash Voucher Scheme is that in a four-year block ending in 2021, the LTC not availed will lapse, instead, this will encourage employees to avail of this facility to buy goods which can help their families.

Estimated cost of LTC Cash Voucher Scheme: For Central govt. : ₹ 5,675 crore; for PSBs & PSUs: ₹ 1,900 crore.

Tax concessions for LTC tickets available for state govt. & private sector too, if they choose to give such facility, these employees too can benefit

Indications are that savings of govt. and organized sector employees have increased, we want to incentivize such people to boost demand for the benefit of the less fortunate. On a conservative basis, we expect the LTC Cash Voucher Scheme to generate additional consumer demand in the range of ₹ 28,000 crore.
