Original Rule Text
3.6.22 A separate Register of Pension Payment Orders is maintained by the Accountant General (A&E) for the payment orders issued in respect of territorial and political pensions. The procedure for audit of other pensions as described in this chapter will apply mutatis mutandis to the audit of territorial and political pensions.

What This Means

However, the audit procedures for these pensions are the same as for other pensions described in this chapter, applied with necessary modifications (mutatis mutandis) to suit the specific characteristics of territorial and political pensions.

Practical Example
During audit, the team encountered a territorial pension being paid to the descendant of a former ruling family. They checked the separate Territorial/Political Pension PPO Register, verified the original sanction and succession documents, confirmed the payment amount matched the authorization, and applied the same audit checks as for regular pensions — with modifications for the unique succession and eligibility rules applicable to these historical pensions.
