Para 13.1 — MSO (A&E)

MSO (A&E)mso-ae

13.1 Where the system or issue of pay slips to Gazetted Officers of a Sate Government by the Accountant General is in vogue, the responsibility for the authorisation and check of pay and allowances is that of the A.G. (A&E) office. Hence, the duty of maintaining the connected records, registers, leave accounts, etc. and issuing of pay slips, leave salary certificates, last pay certificates, no demand certificates, etc. in respect of Gazetted Government servants will devolve on the Accountant General (A&E)’s office.

What This Means

In states where the Accountant General issues pay slips to gazetted officers, the AG (A&E) office is fully responsible for authorizing and checking their pay and allowances. This includes maintaining all service records, registers, and leave accounts, as well as issuing pay slips, leave salary certificates, last pay certificates, and no-demand certificates. This is a comprehensive entitlement management responsibility covering the entire service lifecycle of gazetted government servants.

Practical Example

A newly promoted Class I officer in Madhya Pradesh reports to the AG (A&E) office to get her pay slip issued. The AG office verifies her promotion order, checks the sanctioned post, confirms the pay scale, and issues a monthly pay slip authorizing the treasury to pay her Rs. 1,20,000. When she later applies for earned leave, the AG office checks her leave account, issues a leave salary certificate, and adjusts her pay slip for the leave period. Upon transfer to another state, the office issues her Last Pay Certificate and No-Demand Certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pay slip in this context?▼

A pay slip (also called a pay order or authority) is a document issued by the AG office to the treasury authorizing payment of salary to a gazetted officer. It specifies the officer's name, designation, pay scale, allowances, and deductions. The treasury pays the officer based on this authority from the AG.

What is a no-demand certificate?▼

A no-demand certificate is issued by the AG office confirming that no government dues are outstanding against the officer. It is typically required when an officer is transferring, retiring, or leaving service, ensuring that all advances, overpayments, and other financial obligations have been settled.

Does every state use the pay slip system for gazetted officers?▼

No. The rule specifies 'where the system of issue of pay slips is in vogue.' Some states may have transitioned to other systems where departments or Pay & Accounts Officers directly handle gazetted officers' pay. This rule applies only where the traditional AG-issued pay slip system continues.
