Para 2.4.4 — CAM

2.4.4 Payments in respect of outstation establishments will be done predominantly through direct credit to the account of the payee through banking channels by following the approved epayment procedure. In exceptional cases, bank drafts or cheques may be issued. The required bank drafts should be obtained from the relevant branch of the bank with which the PAO is in account, by sending a requisition available with the bank. Requisition for cancellation of the bank drafts obtained earlier or issue of fresh draft in lieu of the cancelled one should be sent separately to the bank and should not be included in the requisition. Every requisition sent to the bank shall be entered in the Register of Bank Drafts (Form CAM 12) and the Pay and Accounts Officer/Cheque drawing DDO, should watch their receipt from the bank and dispatch to the payees concerned through this Register. The bank will return one copy of the requisition Statement to the PAO while issuing bank drafts. The bank draft should be dispatched with a forwarding letter in Form CAM 13 to the party concerned by Registered Post. The details of cancellation or corrections in Demand Draft will be noted against the original entry in CAM 12.
