Para 13.40 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
13.40 In respect of deductions the details should be noted in the column “Notes explanatory of peculiar payments etc.” linking the same with a guide letter with the note of payments etc. in the monthly cages. 13.41 A gazetted Government Servant desirous of discontinuing his subscription to the General Provident Fund during leave where such discontinuance is permissible should intimate his wish in the matter to his Accountant General before proceeding on leave. 13.42 In the case of gazetted Government Servants who are occuping or who generally
# Leave account
occupy Government residences, the pay slip should be made out in triplicate, preferably by carbon, and one copy should be sent to the officer responsible for making the recovery of rent to enable him to revise the assessment of rent where necessary.
Note.-If a Government Servant occupies, as a residence, a public building, whether residential or not, or a building hired by Government, or a portion of any such building, the rent as specified by the Public Works Divisional Officer concerned in the “Statement of Rents recoverable from Pay Bills” is recoverable from the tenant without prior reference to him. The amount recovered should be credited to the head of account indicated in the statements. This applies also to additional rent recoverable for furniture or for electric, water supply, heating and sanitary installations in building occupied as residences. It also applies to amounts recoverable from a Government Servant on account of the value of furniture or other Government property for the loss of which or damage to which he may be found responsible and to any other dues for which a Government Servant may be liable to Government in respect of the residence allotted to him.
What This Means
When deductions are made from a gazetted officer's pay, the details must be noted in the 'Notes explanatory of peculiar payments' column of the Entitlement Register, cross-referenced with the monthly payment entries. Officers who wish to stop their Provident Fund subscription during leave (where permitted) must inform the AG before going on leave. For officers occupying government residences, the pay slip is prepared in triplicate so the rent-recovery officer can assess and recover rent appropriately.

Practical Example
A Deputy Commissioner occupies a government bungalow and is getting a pay revision. The accounts section prepares his pay slip in triplicate — one copy goes to the PWD officer responsible for rent recovery, who recalculates the house rent based on the revised pay and adjusts the monthly deduction from the officer's salary bill.
