The advance shall bear interest at the same rate as in the case of advances for the purchase of conveyances made to the Government servants. The amount of interest calculated shall be recovered in one or more instalments, each such instalment being not appreciably greater than the instalment by which the principal was recovered. The recovery of interest will commence from the month following that in which the whole of the principal has been repaid.Explanation. - The amount to be recovered monthly shall be fixed in whole rupees, except in the case of the last instalment.
(2)In case of a Minister to whom advance has been paid ceases to hold the office before the advance is fully repaid, the outstanding balance together with the interest thereon shall be payable to the State Government immediately thereafter in one instalment.

7. Sale of motor car.

(1)No motor car for the purchase of which an advance has been granted under these rules shall, at any time before the repayment of the advance together with the interest due thereon, be sold without the previous sanction of the Governor.
(2)If the motor car is sold before the advance together with the interest thereon has been fully repaid, the sale proceeds shall be applied, so far as may be necessary, towards the repayment to such outstanding balance :Provided that when the motor car is sold only in order that another motor car may be purchased, the Governor may permit the Minister to apply the sale proceeds towards such purchase, subject to the following conditions, namely :

(b)The amount outstanding shall continue to be recovered at the rate previously fixed; and
(c)The car so purchased shall be insured and mortgaged in favour of the Government as required by these rules.
(3)In cases where the Minister who has received the advance desires to sell the motor car to another Minister he may be permitted to do so by the Governor; provided the purchasing Minister gives a declaration in writing to the effect that he shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the mortgage bond executed in favour of the Government in respect of the motor car.

8. Period within which negotiation for purchase of car may be completed.

- A Minister who draws as advance in India or the purchase of a motor car shall complete negotiations for the purchase of, and make final payment for the motor car, within one month of the date on which he draws the advance, failing which the full amount of the advance drawn, with interest thereon for one month, shall be refunded to Government.

(5)The order sanctioning and advance shall remain valid for only six months from the date of issue.

10. Insurance of motor car.

(1)The motor car purchased with the advance shall be fully insured against loss by fire, theft or accident. Insurance on owner-driven or other smaller qualified terms is not sufficient for the purpose of this rule. Insurance policies at the reduced rate of premium shall, however, be accepted as adequate in cases where-
(a)the owner of the car undertakes to meet the first Rs. 100 or so of a claim preferred against an Insurance Company in the event of an accident, or
(b)the motor car is got insured against accident for any season of the year during which it is not in use but is stored in garage.

The Minister taking advance for purchase of motor car shall disclose to the insurer the fact of the motor car having been purchased with the help of such advance and also have the aforesaid clause inserted in the policy of insurance of the said motor car. The motor car shall in no case be insured with any Insurance Company if it does not agree to include the clause in the policy.
(4)On receipt of the certificate prescribed in Rule 9 the Accountant-General, Orissa shall obtain from the Minister, drawing the advance a letter in Form IV to the Motor Insurance Company, with whom the motor car is insured to notify to them the fact that the Government are interested in the insurance policy secured. He shall himself forward this letter to the company and obtain their acknowledgement in the case of insurances effected on annual basis, the process prescribed above shall be repeated every year until the advance has been fully repaid.
(5)If the motor car purchased has not been insured within the prescribed period or has not been reinsured before the expiry of the period of policy, the Accountant-General, Orissa shall call upon the Minister either to refund the outstanding balance at once or to produce evidence of insurance or reinsurance, as the case may be, within ten days of receipt of the notice served in that behalf by the Accountant-General, Orissa. The amount for which the car is insured during any period shall not be less than the balance of the advance together with the interest outstanding at the beginning of that period and the insurance shall be renewed from time to time until the amount due is completely repaid. If, at any time and for any reason, the amount insured under a current policy is less than the outstanding balance of the advance together with the interest, the Minister shall refund the difference to Government. The amount to be refunded shall be recovered in not more than 3 monthly instalments.

11. Repeal and saving.

(1)All rules and orders in force immediately before the commencement of these rules in so far as they relate to matters provided for in these rules are hereby repealed.
