Para 20.33 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
20.33 Each Objection Statement will issue in original over the signature of a Gazetted Officer/Section Officer. Before dispatch (which must not be delayed) the objection must be neatly posted into the Objection Book (Form 95) by the Accountant. Each Section Officer should keep a memorandum book for note of the Objection Statements which he passes, should ascertain daily that all have gone out, and should take precautions to secure the entry in the
objection book of all the items in the passed Statement, whether or not their amounts are carried into any money column.
# DISPOSAL AND RETURN
What This Means
Each Objection Statement must be signed by a Gazetted Officer or Section Officer before dispatch. The accountant must neatly post all items from the Statement into the Objection Book before sending it. The Section Officer must maintain a memorandum book tracking all Statements he has passed, verify daily that all have been dispatched, and ensure every item is entered in the Objection Book — whether or not it has a money value.

Practical Example
The Section Officer of the Pension section passes and signs three Objection Statements on Tuesday. She records all three in her memorandum book. On Wednesday morning, she checks the dispatch register and finds one Statement has not yet been sent out due to a clerical delay. She immediately arranges for its dispatch and confirms all items from all three Statements have been entered in the Objection Book.
