Para 3.2.12 — MSO

3.2.12 In auditing sanctions to the grant of any compensatory allowance, fee or honoraria to government servants, the following general conditions should be kept in view:

(i) Unless in any case it be otherwise distinctly provided, the whole time of a government servant is at the disposal of the Government which pays him, and he may be employed in any manner required by proper authority without any claim for additional remuneration, whether the services required of him are such as would ordinarily be remunerated from the Consolidated Fund of India, or of a State or of a Union Territory Administration or from a Local Fund.

(ii) The authority granting or permitting a government servant to receive any honorarium or fee is required to pay due regard to the principle enunciated above and to also record reasons justifying the grant of the additional remuneration to the government servant concerned.

(iii) The amount of Compensatory Allowance is to be so regulated that it is not on the whole a source of profit to the recipient.
