Para 2.7 — CAM

2.7 EXCESS OVER BUDGET PROVISION: 2.7.1 If the amount of any bill leads to excess over the budget allotment, the Pay and Accounts Officer should decline payment under advice to the authority controlling the grant so that the latter could arrange for additional funds. An Appropriation Audit Register Form CAM-62 shall be maintained for this purpose. In case of an urgent requirement of expenditure attracting the provisions of New Service/New Instruments of Service and thereby supplementary demands through the approval of Parliament, the same should be referred to Ministry of Finance. The excess expenditure in such cases can be allowed by the concerned FAs only on the specific approval of Secretary (Expenditure) that the necessary funds will be made available through the next batch of supplementary demands for grant. Rule 61 of GFR, 2017 may be referred in this regard.
