The first time it will be sent to the CAG for onward transmission to the AG for counter signature and forwarding the same to the Treasury Officers. Subsequently, in the event of a change in the incumbency of the Pay and Accounts Officer of the PPO issuing authority, the specimen signature of the new officer will be sent to the Treasury Officer directly, duly attested by the relieved officer. The Treasury Officer will keep the specimen signatures of Pay and Accounts Officers and the impression of the Special Seal so received on their records.
7.6.3 The system of payment of pension through the Treasuries in respect of the PPOs issued on and after 1st January 1990 has been totally closed, pursuant to the instructions of the CAG of India.

7.12 ACCOUNTING OF PENSIONS TO HIGH COURT JUDGES
7.12.1 The channels through which pension are drawn by the retired High Court Judges are as under.
1. Authorized Banks; and 2. Treasuries.
As regards pensions paid through the counters of treasuries, the procedure as laid down in para 7.11.2 above will be followed. The schedules of payment sent in support of the debit claims would be prominently marked 'Pension to High Court Judges’. The claim for reimbursement of pension paid to retired High court Judges shall be raised separate from other claims in respect of pensions paid to Central (Civil) pensioners.
What This Means
This paragraph covers the accounting of pensions paid through treasury counters. For PPOs issued before 1st January 1990, existing pensioners can continue drawing pension from treasury counters. Amendments to those old PPOs are sent to Treasury Officers with special seal verification. However, for any PPO issued on or after 1st January 1990, payment through treasuries has been completely stopped per CAG instructions. High Court judge pensions paid through treasuries follow the same treasury procedure, but their payment schedules must be clearly marked 'Pension to High Court Judges' and reimbursement claims must be raised separately from regular civil pension claims.

Practical Example
A Central Civil pensioner whose PPO was issued in 1988 continues to draw pension from the treasury counter at AG (A&E), West Bengal. When a revision in pension is sanctioned, the PAO sends the amended PPO to the Treasury Officer under Special Seal with specimen signatures. Meanwhile, a colleague who retired in 1995 cannot use the treasury counter at all and must receive pension only through an authorized bank.
