Chief Minister Raghubar Das today asked officials that the Centre sponsored schemes should be focused and completed in a timeframe. He aksed them to prioritise the most backward districts of the State and make processes even simpler if required. Holding a high level meeting on administrative issues with senior officials of the Government at the secretariat here on Wednesday the CM said that nodal officers should be made in every department to coordinate the works of his department, Central Government and AG and to issue utility certificates in time.
During the meeting the State government directed all the work departments not to cut TDS with GST till March 31, 2018. This direction was sent to the departments earlier also. It was also told in the meeting that GST registration will not be a must for those contractors having less than 20 lakh annual turnover.
Treasuries of all the work departments were told that for the requirement of stones and small minerals in fast disposal of schemes, double fund should be deposited in treasury and bill should be passed. It was reported that as per the new bill, instead of submitting double royalty, they were depositing double the price of mineral prices in some of the districts. So this directive was issued. At the same time, the government said to give lease permits of stones and small minerals to contractors to speed up development work.
