Building Loan.— (1) All the employees

desirous of availing the benefits of this scheme

shall approach any of the empanelled banks

for takeover of the existing loan for a

maximum loan amount restricted to the tune

of amount outstanding as on date after

repayment of instalments from May 2020.

(2) For this purpose, the Head of the

Department after ascertaining that the

beneficiary is a erstwhile HBA beneficiary,

would forward the loan application form of

the employee to the Directorate of Accounts

alongwith

the

prescribed

proforma

(Annexure-I).

(3) Directorate of Accounts after verifying

the duration of the earlier applied loan and

the current amount outstanding, for which

the fresh application is being made, is lesser

than amount outstanding as on 15th May

2020, forward the applications to empanelled

Bank

chosen

the

employee

for

consideration of application.

(4) In case of employee who had availed

additional loan over and above the HBA Loan,

the share of Government’s interest shall be

restricted only to the extent of amount of

such HBA loan outstanding as on the date

of application. The liability of the additional

loan shall not be borne by Government. The

Directorate of Accounts shall verify the

outstanding HBA loan amount before

forwarding the application to Bank for

sanction.

(5) The deed of mortgage or any other

collateral security executed in favour of

Government earlier shall be transferred in

favour of the empanelled bank with an

undertaking from the employee that he

willingly desires to transfer the same in favour

of the Bank.

(6) All the required documentation/

valuation required for compliance from the

Bank side would be carried out by the

employee concerned and Government will

not bear any costs for same.

(7) Upon processing the application by the

Bank and if found eligible for sanction/

takeover, the Bank will recommend the case

to the concerned Head of Department. The

Head of Department, based on the

recommendation received from the Bank, will

convey the approval to the Bank for

considering the case for sanction/takeover,

with a copy endorsed to Director of Accounts.

(8) The concerned Bank shall sanction/

takeover the loan and forward the sanction

letter to the concerned Head of Department,

Director of Accounts and the concerned

employee.

(9) Once sanctioned/loan is taken over, the

Government’s share of interest, restricted to

the outstanding HBA Loan, shall commence

from the succeeding month of sanction

wherein the employee is due for repayment

of the loan, provided the demand for same

has been raised by the bank. Unless the

demand is raised by the bank atleast 20 days

in advance, the employee shall continue to

bear the full equated monthly instalment

(EMI).

(10) The Government’s share shall be

continued

till

the

employee

attains

superannuation or for a maximum duration

of 20 years of the total repayment period,

whichever is earlier by considering the

already paid instalments by the Government.

Thereafter, the Government shall stop its

share of instalment.

(11) Once the loan is sanctioned/taken

over, the charged interest rate would be

shared between the employee and the

Government only to the extent of outstanding

HBA loan. The employee shall bear 2 per

cent of the interest plus the principal

component charged by the empanelled Bank

whereas the Government shall bear the

remainder of the interest, subject to the

condition that Government share throughout

the duration of the scheme would be

restricted to a maximum of 5%.

For example: If a bank charges 6.8%

interest, then 2% will have to borne by the

employee whereas balance 4.8% will be borne

by the Government. If say due to market

conditions, the interest rates changes to 7.3%,

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 38

16TH DECEMBER, 2021

2604

then Government would restrict its

contribution to 5% interest whereas the

balance 2.3% has to be borne by the

employee. The employees shall wisely chose

one among the empanelled banks for

sanction/takeover.

(12) Any variation in interest rate shall be

communicated by the bank to Directorate of

Accounts and HODs periodically.

(13) For the purpose of the Government’s

share, the Government will enter into an

agreement with the Bank wherein the

cumulative sum of all the instalments due

restricted only to the Government share for

the succeeding month would be credited to

the Bank, in a pool account, within a specified

date provided that the bank raises the

demand for same atleast 20 days in advance.

The Government will not be responsible for

any delay on the part of bank to adhere to

said deadline.

(14) Every employee should ensure that

his share of EMI reaches the Bank within

the stipulated time. The Government would,

in no way, be held responsible for this share.

for any reason other than normal retirement/

superannuation or if he dies before repayment

of the loan in full, the entire outstanding

amount will become payable forthwith by

the Government employee or his successor,

as the case may be.

(17) Failure to repay the housing loan for

any reason whatsoever, either by the

Government employee or the successor, as

the case may be, will entitle the Bank to

enforce the mortgage and take action to

recover the outstanding housing loan. The

Government shall not bear any additional

liability towards delayed/deferred/overdue

payment by the Government employees.

(18) Bank shall ensure that both the

employee and the Government contribute

their share on time. Any delay on this part

shall be intimated to both the parties within

20th of the month in which then instalment

is due.

(19) For raising of demand for the

Governments share, the Bank shall raise the

demand for payment to Directorate of

Accounts who shall release the same to the

pool account within the stipulated time

period.

which the Government will not start

contributing its share of interest and the

employee has to bear the full burden of

instalments. Only after exhausting this

amount in initial instalments pertaining to

Government’s share (availed under OTS),

would the Government start contributing its

share in the instalments.

(23) The Government may at any time

review the benefits received by the employees

under OTS scheme, but however, till such

The following Policy is approved by the

Government and is hereby published for the

general information of the public.

_______

GOA ELECRTIC MOBILITY PROMOTION

POLICY-2021

1. Introduction:

1.1 Adoption of Electric Vehicles (‘EVs’)

for daily commute is essential for a wide

range of goals, including better air quality,

reduced noise pollution, enhanced energy

security along with lowered carbon dioxide

and greenhouse gas emissions. With

vehicular pollution being a persistent

source of reduced air quality within the

State, rapid adoption of zero emission

vehicles is of great importance.

1.2 Under the National Electric Mobility

Mission Plan (NEMMP), Government of

India has envisioned 6-7 million electric

and Hybrid vehicles on Indian roads by

2020. Towards this goal, the Faster Adoption

and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric

vehicles (FAME) scheme has been

launched by Department of Heavy

Industries, Government of India. Its target

is saving 120 million barrels of oil and 4

million tons of CO2 as well as lowering of

vehicular emissions by 1.3% by 2020.

FAME India scheme has four focus areas–

technology development, demand creation,

pilot projects and charging infrastructures.

1.3 Based on the recent techno-economic

developments in EV sector and the vision

of Government of India, a need is felt by

Government of Goa to formulate a policy

for promotion of this sector in Goa. Building

on indigenous strengths of tourism and IT

industries, Government of Goa aims to

make Goa as a model State in EV.

1.4 With a coastline of about 104 kms.

and inland waterways of about 250 kms.,

Goa is among the fastest growing states in

the country. The Goan economy is largely

dependent on tourism as annual tourists

are almost five times that of the local

population. Goa has a total population of

15 lakh and receives about 75 lakh tourists

every year. The movement of these

seasonal tourists is largely dependent on

unorganized transportation including

unmetered taxis, motorcycles, ferry boats

and rickshaws.

1.5 Despite the unorganized nature of the

transport sector, Goa stands on top in the

country in terms of per capita vehicles with

625 vehicles for every 1,000 people in the

state and is also ranked 15 in the world in

terms of vehicle density. According to

estimation by Goa Automobile Dealers

Association (GADA), on an average, every

Goan household has about 2 bikes and one

car. With an urbanization rate of 62%, these

numbers are only expected to grow. Hence,

there is an eminent need to ensure growth

this

sector

does

not

further

environmental degradation. Adoption of

new energy vehicles (NEVs) would also be

supported by utility growth in the state.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

Goa EV Concessional Charging

Infrastructure Policy-2021

Adoption of Electric Vehicles (‘EVs’) for

daily commute is essential for a wide range

of goals, including better air quality, reduced

noise pollution, enhanced energy security,

along with lowered carbon dioxide and

greenhouse gas emissions. With vehicular

pollution being a constant source of reduced

air quality within the State, rapid adoption of

zero-emission vehicles is of great importance.

Under the National Electric Mobility

Mission Plan (NEMMP), the Government of

India has envisioned 6-7 million electric and

Hybrid vehicles on Indian roads by 2020.

Towards this goal, the Faster Adoption and

Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles

(FAME) scheme has been launched by the

Department of Heavy Industries, Government

of India. Its target is saving 120 million barrels

of oil and 4 million tons of CO2.

With a coastline of about 104 km. and

inland waterways of about 250 km., Goa is

among the fastest-growing states in the

country. The Goan economy is largely

dependent on tourism as the annual arrival

of tourists are almost five times that of the

local population. Goa has a total population

of 15 lakh and receives about 75 lakh tourists

every year. The movement of these seasonal

tourists is largely dependent on unorganized

transportation, including unmetered taxis,

motorcycles, ferry boats and rickshaws.

High vehicle density in Goa and, in addition

increased load affect the environment due to

CO2 emission. Therefore, an affordable and

efficient Concessional Public EV Charging

Infrastructure is needed.
