Para 14.27 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
14.27 With the special sanction of the Accountant General in each case the following procedure may be employed in the case of groups of Territorial and Political Pensioners who are paid by, and are in charge of, a Political Officer:-
(i) In lieu of a Pension Payment Order for each pension, an order for the payment of the whole group will be issued in Form 79; each entry having a number in this for 330/1, 330/2 and so on, where 330 is the register number of the whole document.
# ACCOUNTANTS DUTIES
(ii) The officer in charge of the pensioners will prepare a monthly bill in such form as may be prescribed by the Accountant General in which all the names will be entered in their proper order even though nothing is drawn for the pensioner entered.
What This Means
When a group of territorial and political pensioners is managed by a single Political Officer, the Accountant General can approve a special streamlined process. Instead of issuing a separate Pension Payment Order for each person, one combined order (Form 79) covers the entire group, with each pensioner given a sub-number. The officer in charge then prepares a single monthly bill listing all pensioners in order, including those who drew nothing that month.

Practical Example
A Political Officer oversees 40 tribal pensioners in a remote district. Instead of managing 40 separate PPOs, the AG approves a group order numbered 330, with each pensioner listed as 330/1 through 330/40. Every month, the officer submits one consolidated bill showing all 40 names, noting zero against those who did not collect their pension that month.
