Para 20.31 — MSO

20.31 In most cases objections should be intimated direct to the disbursing or other responsible authority in special printed objection memoranda and other half margin forms. The Treasury Officer should be addressed only when recoveries have to be ordered. or in respect of objections for the removal of which he is directly responsible. Such intimations. together with important treasury irregularities and directions or enquiries arising out of account should be sent to him through Objection Statements (Forms 93). The Accountant should have before him. at the time he deals with the accounts or vouchers, the requisite Objection Statement, and other half margin forms, and should write these up, as each point requiring notice becomes evident during the course of his scrutiny of the accounts. All objections, whether communicated direct to responsible authorities or to the Treasury Officers, should be entered in the Objecdtion Book. A Register of half margins should be kept up in each section showing the issue, return and disposal of these memoranda and half margins.

Note 1: All Copies of Retrenchment Slips (Form 94) issued to Treasury Officers should be forwarded simultaneously for the information of the persons affected, direct in the case of gazetted and nongazetted Government servants who draw their own bills and through the head of the Office in the case of other nongazetted Government servants.

Note 2: Printed half margin forms should be dealt with in the same manner as the Objection statement.
