Para 15.3 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
15.3 A Register of Pension paid by Pre-check Payment Department in Form 102 will be maintained for pensions paid after pre-check in Offices of Accountant General (A&E). All payments will be prechecked; but it will not be necessary to maintain a file of pension payment orders as in treasuries, the purpose being served by the register in Form 102, payment entries wherein will be uthoriza by a Branch Officer.

Note : When a male pensioner is specifically exempted by Government from personal appearance, the fact should be noted in the Register and in all cases of non-appearance of a male pensioner a note should be made in the Register of the form in which proof was given, within each year, of the pensioner’s continued existence; e.g. “Pensioner visited such and such Officer on ….. “ and the initials of the officer verifying the fact should be put against the note.
What This Means
The AG's office maintains a Register of Pension in Form 102 for pensions paid after pre-check. This register serves the same purpose as the PPO file maintained at treasuries, so a separate PPO file is not needed. Payment entries are authorised by a Branch Officer. The pensioner's signature on the register page is used for future verification. If a male pensioner is exempted from personal appearance by the Government, this is noted in the register, and alternative proof of continued existence (such as officer verification) must be recorded annually.

A 78-year-old male pensioner has been exempted by the Government from personal appearance due to infirmity. His exemption is noted in Form 102. Each year, a local officer visits him and certifies his continued existence. The AG's office records this in the register: 'Pensioner visited by SDM on 15-Jan-2026' with the verifying officer's initials.
