Para 8.24 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
8.24 In case of Irrigation etc., projects where centralised Accounting organisations has been set up and if that organisation is maintaining identical records, no register need be maintained by the R.A.O's/or by the Accountant General (A&E).
What This Means
For irrigation and similar projects where a centralised accounting organisation has been established, if that organisation already maintains the same records as the Works Register, then neither the Resident Audit Officers (RAOs) nor the AG (A&E) need to maintain a separate register. This avoids duplication of record-keeping.

Practical Example
The Sardar Sarovar Project has a dedicated Chief Accounts Officer with a centralised accounting setup that maintains a comprehensive Works Register identical to Form 15. The AG (A&E) Gujarat verifies this and decides that the RAOs attached to the project and the AG office itself do not need to maintain a separate Works Register for this project.
