Para 7.2.23 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.2.23 The Auditor is responsible for the prompt disposal of the Objection Statement on its return. If any recovery is ordered, he will be responsible for watching the recovery. Though the government servant concerned may have been transferred to another department, the objection will not be removed from the Objection Book of the old department but will be transferred to that of government servant’s new department, a note of the transfer being made simultaneously against the relevant item in the former Objection Book. The recovery due will, of course, be noted in the Last Pay Certificate by the officer-in-charge of the Treasury from which he last drew his entitlements and may also be intimated, with advantage, to the one who will pay him in future.
# Objection Book
What This Means
The Auditor is responsible for promptly processing the Objection Statement when it is returned from the Treasury Officer. If recovery is ordered, the Auditor must track the recovery. If the concerned government servant has transferred to another department, the objection follows the employee — it is transferred to the new department's Objection Book (with a note in the old one). The last pay certificate from the old treasury will note the pending recovery, and the new paying authority may also be informed.

Practical Example
The Treasury Officer returns an Objection Statement confirming that Rs 5,000 must be recovered from a junior engineer who was overpaid. Before recovery can begin, the engineer transfers to another state department. The Auditor transfers the objection from the PWD Objection Book to the new department's Objection Book, notes the transfer in the PWD records, and ensures the engineer's Last Pay Certificate from the PWD treasury mentions the Rs 5,000 recovery due.
