Para 3.2.2 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
3.2.2 Claims preferred by the gazetted government servants fall mainly under the following categories:
(i) Pay
(ii) Travelling Allowance
(iii) Compensatory Allowances and Honoraria
(iv) Advances of pay and for purchase of conveyances, Provident Fund Advances, etc.
Audit of these categories of claims applicable to various groups or classes of gazetted government servants in various Departments of the Union Government, the State Governments and the Union Territory Administrations is mainly conducted with reference to the rules and regulations governing their conditions of service framed by the competent authorities.
What This Means
Claims by gazetted government servants mainly fall into four categories: pay, travelling allowance, compensatory allowances and honoraria, and advances (for pay, conveyance purchase, provident fund, etc.). These claims are audited with reference to the rules and regulations governing the conditions of service for each group of officers across Union Government departments, State Governments, and Union Territory Administrations.
