MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

(DR. SUBHASH BHAMRE)

र  ा रा य मं ी

(डा. सुभाष भामरे)

(a) & (b): No, Madam.  Value of Issue by Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) is on actual basis.  The Supply target vis-à-vis achievement of OFB during last three years is given below:-

| Year    | RE target   | Value of Issue   | % achievement   | %increase in Value of Issue (Year to Year)   |
|---------|-------------|------------------|-----------------|----------------------------------------------|
| 2013-14 | 11,860      | 11,123           | 94%             | -                                            |
| 2014-15 | 11,900      | 11,364           | 96%             | 2.17                                         |
| 2015-16 | 13,515      | 13,047           | 97%             | 14.80                                        |

The  factual  data  shows  marginal  shortfall  in  achieving  the  targets, which is on account of reasons like delay in receipt of inputs from trade sources both indigenous and import origin, capacity constraints in some areas,    Non  realization  of  advance  from  Police  units  and  civil  market  for arms  and  weapons,  delay  in  indents  for  logistic  vehicles,  Non  receipt  of Bulk Production Clearance, etc.  However, in terms of value of Issue, the year 2015-16 achieved a growth of 14.80%. (c) & (d): CAG  audit has indicated instances of advance issue of vouchers.  The cases of advance issue vouchers mentioned by CAG audit have  been  examined  in  consultation  with  OFB  for  corrective  action. Principal Controller of Accounts (Factories) has instructed Branch Account Offices  not  to  accept  issue  vouchers  without  dispatch  details.    With  the introduction of payment of Excise Duties (ED) by the Ordnance Factories on their products from 1 st June, 2015, Issues of the items are linked with Excise Gate Pass thereby eliminating instances of advance issue vouchers.
