Para 12.13 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
12.13 As soon as it comes to the notice of an Account Officer, either through the prescribed report from the executive authorities to the Accounts Officer concerned or otherwise, that a particular Government Servant belongs to the class of compulsory subscribers to a Fund, he should see that subscriptions are received from him as required by the rules of the Fund.
What This Means
As soon as the Accounts Officer learns — either through official reports from the executive authorities or by any other means — that a government servant falls in the category of compulsory subscribers to a Provident Fund, the officer must ensure that subscriptions are being recovered from that employee as required by the fund rules. This is a proactive duty; the AG cannot wait for the subscriber to come forward.

Practical Example
The Head of a department sends a report to the AG's office that a Group C employee has completed one year of continuous service and now falls under compulsory GPF subscription. The Accounts Officer immediately checks the pay bills to ensure that GPF deductions have started from the next month's salary.
