Para 2.21 — CAM

(ii) While checking abstract contingent bills, it should be seen whether the officers drawing abstract bills are, in all cases, authorised to do so. Where needed, AAO should ensure that the amount drawn on an abstract contingent bill is placed under objection and the objections e.g. relating to missing detailed bills, vouchers, sub-vouchers etc should be pursued vigorously. There may be cases in which detailed bills are not furnished within the normal period prescribed in para 2.21 (6) of Subsidiary Instructions to R&P Rules, 2022. In such cases, they should be reported to the Controlling Officer by name and thereafter, if necessary, the matter should be reported first to the Head of the Department by name and even if that fails to produce the desired result, the matter should be reported to the Principal Accounts Office.
