Rule 313 — General Financial Rules 2017 (amended July 2024) -
Original Rule Text
Rule 313. Emergency Payments. In cases of emergency, where immediate payment is necessary and the normal procedure cannot be followed, payments may be made by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer from the permanent advance or from other available funds, subject to subsequent regularization through the normal budgetary process.
What This Means
Rule 313 provides for emergency payments when the normal financial procedures cannot be followed due to urgent circumstances. Drawing and Disbursing Officers may use the permanent advance or other available funds to make immediate payments, with the requirement that such payments must be regularized through normal budgetary channels afterwards. This ensures government operations are not paralyzed during emergencies while maintaining financial accountability.
