Para 20.36 — MSO

20.36 The consideration whether the pay and allowances drawn are admissible involves disallowances of improper claims and watching the recovery of money improperly drawn. When it is considered necessary to order the recovery of any erroneous payment, the Accountant General, should send warning to the Government servant concerned by a slip in Form 94, in which the ground of the retrenchment should be stated clearly (an advice being sent invariably, to the Treasury Officer at the same time). This slip will give the Government servant retrenched an opportunity of forwarding to the Accountant General an explanation which may cause the recovery to be dispensed with. The withdrawal or modification of an order for recovery should be communicated both to the Treasury Officer and the Government servant concerned.
