Para 14.17 — MSO

ENTRY OF REMARKS When there is sufficient blank space in the right hand page, the fact of cancellation should be noted across it instead of in the Remarks column but if the necessary note cannot be made on the right hand page for want of space, the blank column should always be scored through in red ink.

14.17 On abolition of central audit of pension vouchers, it has been left to the discretion of the Accountant General (A&E) to maintain Treasury-wise Pension Payment Register if he so desires, for preparing the list of P.P.O.s etc. to be sent to the Accountant General (Audit). This register, if maintained, is to be kept in Annexure-‘A’ annexed to this chapter. The register should be filled up at the time of issue of the Pension Payment Order. The register will be bound in volumes of convenient size embracing one or more districts and page numbered continuously. A sufficient number of blank spaces should be left under each district to accommodate the additional entries, on account of grant of new pensions, or transfer to old ones from other districts and each new name should be brought on the district Register on the first vacant line at the time the Pension Payment Order is issued. The number entered against each pensioner will be that of his Pension Payment Order, and every entry of a pension must be initialled by the Section Officer after comparison with Pension Payment Order Register. When a pension ceases to be payable, or is transferred to another treasury, the fact should be recorded in the register under proper attestation. These registers are to be kept permanently by the Accountant General.

If the pension, or a part of it is debitable to a Government other than the paying Government, the amount debitable to it should be specified in the column for “Remarks”.
