Para 20.35.1 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
20.35.1 The Accountant is responsible for the prompt disposal of the Objection Statement when returned. If a recovery is ordered from a Gazetted Officer whose pay and allowances are authorized by the A&E office, the Accountant is responsible for watching its recovery. Though the Government servant concerned be transferred to another department, the item will not be removed from the Objection Book of the old to that of the new department, but a note of the transfer will be made; it will of course, be noted on the Last Pay Certificate by the Officer-in-charge of the treasury from which he last drew pay and may also, with advantage, be intimated to the one who will pay him in future. On the occasion of a transfer of a gazetted Government servant against who an order of retrenchment has issued the Accountant concerned should ascertain what amount is still outstanding and should send a slip of warning to the new Treasury Officer.
- RETRENCHMENT SLIP
What This Means
When the Objection Statement is returned from the treasury, the Accountant must deal with it promptly. If money needs to be recovered from a Gazetted Officer whose pay is authorized by the A&E office, the Accountant must track the recovery. Even if the officer transfers to another department, the objection stays in the original department's Objection Book, but a note is added about the transfer and a warning slip is sent to the new Treasury Officer about the outstanding amount.
