What This Means
This section covers the registers and records PAOs must maintain for government loans, grants-in-aid, and long-term advances to government servants. Loan sanctions are recorded in a Loan Register (Form CAM 29) with separate pages for each loan, tracking repayment and interest. A Broadsheet (Form CAM 59) reconciles monthly payments and recoveries. For grants-in-aid, utilization certificates must be obtained in all cases except loans to State/UT Governments for direct expenditure. House Building and Computer advances to government servants are tracked in Form CAM 30.
