19.10 ACCOUNTING AND RECONCILIATION OF TRANSACTIONS FALLING UNDER PWD REMITTANCES, FOREST REMITTANCES ETC. UNDER THE DEPARTMENTALISED ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
19.10.1 In the PWD system, the minor head “102 – Public Works Remittance” below the Major Head “8782 – Cash Remittances & adjustments between Officers rendering accounts to the same AO” is operated to record transactions of Public Works Officers with Treasury and Other Officers of the Civil Departments within the same circle of Account. It includes the following sub-heads viz.
(i) Remittances into Treasuries/Banks; and
(ii) Public Works Cheques. (iii)Other remittances (iv)Transfers between Public works / Forest Officers
The sub-heads mentioned at
(i) and
(ii) above are operated for accounting for the remittances and drawings from the banks respectively. The Monthly Divisional Accounts will be continued to be supported by the "Schedule of Reconciliation of Cheques and Remittances", in the same form as the existing Schedule of Settlement with treasuries, with suitable modifications. The exception being that the reconciliation will be done with the copies of receipt and payment scroll received from the bank with which the Divisional officer is in account with, showing the receipts and payments accounted by the bank in the scroll sent to the PAO. This schedule should explain the differences between the cheques issued/e-payment advices issued and remittances made by the Divisional Officer on the one hand and the cheques encashed or epayment advices termed as success and remittances accounted for by that bank. A list of cheques issued but not encashed, e-payment advices failed or failure after success and remittances made but not accounted for during the month, as well as cheques or e-payment advices issued and remittances made during the previous months but accounted in the bank scrolls during the month on hand, should also the furnished.

The images of the paid cheques shall also be individually checked with the scroll as well as with the relevant paid vouchers received with the accounts;
What This Means
Under the departmentalized accounting system, Public Works and Forest transactions use the minor head '102 - Public Works Remittance' under Major Head 8782 to record remittances, cheque drawings, and transfers. Divisional Officers maintain a 'Schedule of Reconciliation of Cheques and Remittances' that reconciles cheques issued and remittances made against what the bank has actually encashed/credited. The PAO examines this schedule carefully, verifying that totals match bank scrolls and all differences are explained. Duplicate keys and securities like Promissory Notes and Savings Certificates can be kept in safe custody at PSB branches free of charge.

Practical Example
A CPWD Division issues 200 cheques totaling Rs 3 crore in November. The bank scrolls show only 185 cheques encashed for Rs 2.7 crore. The Division's reconciliation schedule shows: 10 cheques (Rs 25 lakh) issued in November but not yet encashed, and 5 cheques from October (Rs 5 lakh) encashed in November. The PAO verifies: 185 current-month encashments + 5 previous-month encashments = 190 entries in scrolls; closing un-encashed = 15 cheques (10 from November + 5 from earlier months still pending). The progressive un-encashed balance of Rs 30 lakh is confirmed against the broadsheet.
