Para 2.6.7 — CAM

2.6.7 The pre-check to be applied to all payments by the departmentalized Accounts Offices includes a check against provision of funds also. It is an important part of the functions of the PAO to see that no payment is made in excess of the budget allotment. At the time of conducting pre-check by Pay and Accounts Officer in PFMS, available budget under each object head would be shown in PFMS for the purpose of bill passing and expenditure control. In order to exercise an effective check in this regard, a separate register DDO-wise Bill Passing cum Expenditure Control Register in Form CAM-9, should be maintained in the Accounts Office which do not process bill in PFMS for each drawing officer and by sub-heads and units of appropriation so as to ensure at the time of passing each bill that the amount of the bill under check is covered by budget allotment.
