Rule 20 — General Financial Rules 2017 (amended July 2024) - Rule 20
GFR 2017
Original Rule Text
Rule 20. Departments of the Central Government and Administrators may make rules defining remissions and abandonments of revenue for the purpose of Rule 19 above.
What This Means
Rule 20 empowers Central Government departments and Administrators to create their own rules that define what counts as a remission (reduction) or abandonment (write-off) of government revenue. This is tied to Rule 19, which deals with the general principles of revenue management. Essentially, each department can customize revenue write-off procedures within the framework set by the GFR.
