Pre-check of Fixation of pay
What This Means
All arrear claims that require the Accountant General's authorization under the state's financial rules must be processed through the A&E Office. This means if an employee or department has an outstanding claim from a previous period that cannot be paid at the treasury level without higher authority, it must come to the AG (A&E) for authorization.

Practical Example
A government school teacher discovers that her house rent allowance was underpaid for the past 18 months due to a clerical error. Since the state financial rules require the AG's authority for arrear claims beyond a certain period, her arrear bill is forwarded from the treasury to the AG (A&E) office, which verifies the entitlement and authorizes the payment.
