Para 3.10.24 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
3.10.24 In cases where the Missions in London or Washington have to request the State Accountants General to make certain payments in India on their behalf, they will, while doing so, forward in each case Reserve Bank of India drafts for the amounts in question, along with a specific authorisation.
- Payments by other Indian Missions on behalf of the High Commission in London and the Embassy in Washington
What This Means
When the London or Washington missions need payments made in India on their behalf, they send RBI drafts for the required amounts to the State Accountants General along with specific authorization. This mechanism allows missions to make authorized payments within India through the existing AG network rather than transferring funds internationally.
