Form CAM-32 — CAM

Note 1: Keeping in view the increasing number of bills in PAOs and the time taken in completing the transactions, the Head of Accounting Organization may delegate powers of bills passing and thereafter applying DSC at AAO level for payment for comparatively smaller amounts. This would entail a 2 level pre-check for e-payment in place of existing 3 level checks, for the bills involving gross amount up to ₹ 25000. However, instances for issue of cheque will continue to be at PAO level. While issue of cheque by Pay and Accounts Officer, his/her role will be limited to check the amount that appears in cheque with reference to the pay order amount approved by AAO after pre-check. In case of any observations during pre-check, the bills can be returned at the level of Pay and Accounts Officer. Pay and Accounts Officer would conduct post audit/check of 10% of bills passed by AAO before submission of monthly accounts. PAO shall record a certificate to this effect in a Register in Form CAM-32 to be opened for this purpose. Pre-check of all adjustment bills against advances drawn would however be conducted by Pay and Accounts Officer irrespective of any amount. Head of Accounting Organization would obtain a certificate from PAO in compliance of the new arrangements.
