Para 6.20 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
6.20 Recoveries on account of passage advances made under the rules to Government servants in foreign service will be watched by the Accountant General responsible for watching the recovery of contributions for leave and pension.
In respect of short-term loans granted to gazetted officers, broad sheets in Form 9 are to be maintained by the Accountant General.
What This Means
Passage advances given to government servants on foreign service are tracked for recovery by the same AG who watches their leave and pension contributions. This ensures centralized monitoring. Additionally, for short-term loans to gazetted officers, the AG maintains broadsheets in Form 9 (unlike non-gazetted staff where departments maintain records), since the number of gazetted officers is manageable for centralized tracking.

Practical Example
An IAS officer on deputation to the World Bank in Washington is given a passage advance of Rs. 3 lakh for travel. The AG of the officer's home cadre state, who already monitors the officer's leave salary and pension contributions from the borrowing organization, also tracks the passage advance recovery. When the officer returns and the advance is recovered from salary, it is posted in the AG's records alongside the leave and pension contribution reconciliation.
