Ref: G.O. M.S No.426, Revenue (Endowments–I) Department,


dated.09.11.2015.

@@@

In the reference cited, the Government have been pleased to issue


orders amending certain rules to the Andhra Pradesh Charitable & Hindu
Religious Institutions & Endowments Immovable Properties and Other
Rights (Other than Agricultural Lands) Leases and Licenses Rules, 2003.

According to the amended rules, all leases or licenses shall be made by


way of tender-cum public auction on advance annual rental basis. The
Executive Authorities shall also call for tenders or auction through e-
plotform if the value of the transaction exceeds Rs:10,00,000/-.

Further, the license period in case of licenses like Coconut Halves,


Chappal Stand, Cloak Room, Human Hair etc., shall not exceed (2) years
except in case of shops and buildings. Further, when the license term is (2)

years, the fee amount shall be enhanced by 10% in the 2nd year over the 1st
year’s fee invariably.

But many of the Executive Officers are auctioning licenses without


following the above amended Rules issued in the year 2015.

Therefore, all the Executive Authorities of the Institutions are


instructed to follow the above rules while conducting auctions without any
deviation.

Further, it has been observed that some of the Executive Authorities


are conducting auctions for items like:
File No.COE-12024(34)/43/2018-B SEC-ENDOWMENTS

1. License rights for collecting room rents for Devasthanam choultries


instead of letting out the rooms to devotees directly by the Devasthanam
itself.
2. License rights for accepting Thiladanams etc. which are purely religious
activities.
3. License rights for providing Sannai Melam etc.for marriages and other
functions in temple premises.

Such practice is very bad and will lead to undesirable monopoly,


which will cause undue hardship to devotees, besides hurting their
sentiments.

Further, it has been observed that in some temples , licenses are being
given for running shops etc., within the temple prakaram, in violation of the
specific instructions issued earlier. It is causing congestion within the
temple premises which causes much inconvenience to the pilgrims, besides
disturbing the serene atmosphere in the temple premises.

Therefore, all the Executive Authorities are instructed to not to allot


such licenses which are hurting the sentiments of the Devotees or causing
hardship to devotees. And discontinue all such licences with immediate
effect.

Further, they are instructed to explore the ways and means to


augment the income of the Institutions by tapping all other sources like
immovable properties to the optimum level, arrest pilferages, if any and also
curtail wasteful expenditure, to compensate the temples for the income they
may likely to forego due to stoppage of sanctioning such licenses.

The regular Regional Joint Commissioners / Deputy Commissioners /


Assistant Commissioner of Endowments Department are instructed to serve
the above circular on all the Executive Officers of the institutions under their
respective jurisdictions and see that the above instructions are followed by
them scrupulously.

( By order of Commissioner)
