Para 12.16 — MSO

12.16 The nomination should be kept under lock and key in the personal custody of the Gazetted Officer in charge of the Fund Section and verified annually by a Gazetted Officer other than the Officer in charge of the Fund Section to be selected by the Accountant General. The verification of all the nominations should be carried out in three batches so as to complete it in a cycle of three years. As nominations are filed department-wise, those belonging to departments which would cover about one third of the total number of nominations may be chosen for verification each year. A certificate indicating the results of the annual verification should be recorded by the Gazetted Officer deputed for the purpose under his dated signature in each of the Departmental Index Registers maintained under paragraph 12.14.
