(a) If payment is to be made by cheque, the passed bill will be transferred to the cheque writer, who will prepare a cheque for the net amount in the special form for pre-check cheques (separate forms being used for Central and State payments). He will note the number of the cheque conspicuously on the bill, enter the amount in the Register of Cheques Drawn (Form 83)-(Central or State) and lay the cheque and the bill together before the Branch Officer in-charge. This Officer will satisfy himself as to the genuineness of the dates, signatures of the Officer passing the ‘pay order’, tick off the number of the cheque, see that its amount agrees with the amount passed and then sign the cheque and stamp the bill “Cheque Drawn’ and intitial the entry in “Cheque Drawn Register”.

Note: In case of loss of any token, the pensioner should immediately bring the matter to the notice of this office. The pensioner should deposit the value of token in the R.B.I. through Chalan.

When two or more bills are payable to the same person, a single cheque should be issued for their aggregate amount, though the particulars of each bill should be entered separately in the register of Cheques Delivered (form 84). In such case a stamped acknowledgement for each bill should not be demanded, a single stamped receipt is sufficient. Each such bill may, if necessary be stamped in the A.G’s Office with a rubber stamp indicating that the relevant receipt is included in the receipt attached to such and such a bill, the number being entered in manuscript.

(c) Duplicates of lost cheques are issued in the same form with the word “duplicate” recorded across the form in red ink.

Note:- The passed bill together with the cheque should be sent to the Pension Payer for delivery. After delivery, the payer will attach the payee’s acknowledgement to the bill, stamp it is paid, write the voucher number on the upper right hand corner of the bill and enter the payment in the Central or State Register of Cheques Delivered.

(b) The cheques will be delivered to the pensioner/messenger/agent on surrending the token and signing acknowledgement for receiving the payment. The personal cheques will be delivered by the Branch Officerin-charge of payment section. All cheques will be delivered after recording in the Cheque Delivery Register (form 84)

Note.-Specimen signature of each Officer passing the precheck bills for payment should be furnished to the payment

section. Before signing the cheque/making the payment in cash, the signature on the Pay order will be compared with the specimen signature where there is reason to doubt the genuinenes of the “Pay Order”.
