CIRCULAR

Supplementary guidance on the issuance of allowances for individuals purchasing standard cloth at supply prices

The Ministry of Finance provides supplementary guidance on the issuance of the allowance mentioned in Circular No. 301-TC/HCVX dated December 31, 1969, as follows:

1. Those entitled to receive an allowance of 3.60 dong annually for purchasing cloth at supply prices are current employees engaged in production at state agencies, enterprises, and mass organizations, as well as individuals entitled to purchase cloth at supply prices according to state policies (such as retirees, those with reduced working capacity, victims of workplace accidents, war invalids, children of martyrs without support, etc.).

Cadres, workers, and civil servants who cease their employment in the last months of the year will not be eligible for the 3.60 dong allowance for the following year, even if commercial entities have issued cloth coupons based on the cadre, worker, and civil servant standards.

For newly recruited personnel joining state agencies or enterprises in the last months of the year, who fall within the category entitled to purchase cloth at supply prices, shall also be entitled to the aforementioned 3.60 dong allowance for that year.

2. Regarding war invalids (both old and new) amputees with artificial limbs, employed at agencies, enterprises, forestry farms, war invalids' rehabilitation centers, production centers, or residing at home, in addition to their main standard, they may purchase an additional 2.20 meters of cloth annually at supply prices; apart from the allowance (3.60 dong) based on the main standard, they will also receive an additional allowance of 1.50 dong annually.

The additional allowance of 1.50 dong shall take effect from 1971; any agency or unit issuing the 3.60 dong allowance to the aforementioned war invalids must also issue this additional 1.50 dong allowance.

During the implementation of Circular No. 301-TC/HCVX dated December 31, 1969, and this supplementary guidance, any difficulties encountered should be reported to the Ministry of Finance for study and resolution.
