Para 7.4.19 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.4.19 The procedure of getting similar notes furnished by the State Governments to their Legislature Secretariats vetted by Audit and the procedure relating to the furnishing of advance copies of the notes to the Secretariat are also followed in some States. In such cases, the instructions contained in paragraphs 7.4.14, 7.4.17 and 7.4.18 supra should be borne in mind.
What This Means
Some State Governments follow a similar practice of getting their action-taken notes vetted by Audit before sending them to the State Legislature Secretariat, and may also provide advance copies. In these states, audit offices should follow the same guidelines laid down in Paras 7.4.14, 7.4.17 (two-week deadline), and 7.4.18 (advance copies and timely comments).

Practical Example
The Maharashtra State Legislature Secretariat sends action-taken notes from the Finance Department to the Accountant General for vetting. The AG's office applies the same two-week deadline as prescribed for central notes, consults field offices urgently on specific data points, and ensures comments are provided before the State Public Accounts Committee finalises its report.
