(v) Advances for medical attendance and treatment;

No other personal advance can be paid to a Gazetted Government Servant unless payment has first been authorised by the Accountant General or the claim has been pre-checked by him.

What This Means
Gazetted officers can draw certain personal advances directly from the treasury without prior authorization from the Accountant General, provided the proper sanction is attached to the bill. These include advances for transfer, tour, travel concession during leave, advance in lieu of leave salary, medical treatment, and travelling allowance for journeys to settlement on retirement. All other personal advances need AG's prior authorization or pre-checking.
