Keeping in view the advancement and rapid obsolescence in the configuration of desktop computers, it has been decided, in consultation with D/o Information Technology, that subject to the minimum configuration as in the Annexure to this OM, Ministries/Departments may decide on the configuration (hardware and software) of desktop computers to be provided to officers of the level of Joint Secretary and above themselves. The overall cost ceiling will however remain unchanged at Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rs. One lakh only) per piece (hardware and software included).

   3. Payment for broadband connectivity will be regulated as per this Department’s OM No. 7(140/C&V/2006 dated 14th November, 2006 regarding reimbursement of telephone charges.
  
4. On handing over the charge of the post; the officer may be given the option to retain the computer on payment of book value. For the purpose of calculation of book value a depreciation of 15% per year may be adopted. Thus, an officer who has had a term of five years will be required to pay 25% of original cost of the computer at the time of handing over charge at the end of the term deducting depreciation of 75% (15%x5).

   5. The Computer and its peripherals will remain Government Property. The Officer will personally be responsible for the safety and security of the computer. In case of loss, the loss will be recovered from the officer based on the book value of the computer after allowing for depreciation of 15% per annum as stated at para 4 above. The officer concerned will be at liberty to have the computer insured at his personal cost.
