of the Orissa Pension Rules when Departmental/Judicial proceedingsare pending against such employees.
It has been brought to ·the notice of this Department that in some cases the Drawing and Disbursing

In this regard specific attention is invited to Finance Department 0. M. No. 1 408.3/F., dated the 23rd

It is therefore, once again impressed upon all concerned that temporary increase will be admissible on

provisional Pension irrespective of the fact whether the same is sanctioned under Rule 154 of 1 1 of
the Orissa Pension Rules except in cases where the pension sanctioing authority has given direction
not to allow temporary increase with a view to adjust Government dues if any. ·

Pension Sanctioning Authorities are ·sometimes handicapped in fianalising Family Pension and
Death Gratuity cases for want of proper indentification of legal heirs of the deceased pensioner.
To faciitate payment of life time pension to legal heirs of the deceased pensioners, Finance Depart
ment in their letter No.24073 (113), dated the 6th Juno 1984 clarified tothe Treasury and Sub
Treasury Officers and Accountant-General, Orissa that the legal heir certificates are to bo obtained by ·
the payee 9n their personal effort from-the local Talhasildars/Additional Tahasildars. Despite these
Instruments, the concerned payees do not obtain, for various reasons, the required certificates and
produce them before the Pension Sanctioning Authorities in time. As a result, such cases of delay
in payment of Family Pension and Death Gratuity are being frequently referred 10 the Pension
Adalat for devising appropriate remedial measures.
2. To exPedite disposal of cases indicated in the preceding Para. Government after careful
consideration have been pleased to docid.e that the concerned payee should be reminded by the
Pension Sanctioning Authority thrice through regi�tered A. D. Iotter in course of three consecutive
months to procure and produce the legal heir certificate for release of FamilyPension and Death
Gratuity failing which such casus aro to be treated <>S closed on the advice of Ponsion Sanctioning

Subject-Payment of provisional pension and gratuity to the retired Government Servant against
whom departmental or judicial proceedings are pending.
Rule 11 of Orissa Pension Rules, 1977 envisages trat the provisional pension at a rate not
exceeding the final pension of a retired Government Servant can be released in his/her favour
lrreapcctive of the fact that he/she has been proceeded with Departmentally or judicially. It has been
emphasized under the Finance Department Office Memorandum No. 39590/F., dated the 24th
November 1990 that, ifthe charges of the said proceedings against the retired Government servants
intended/concluded to inflict on him/her one of the minor pcnalities outlined under Rule 13 o f
S.C. (C.C.A.) Rules, 1962, the payment of gratuity in such cases shall be released without
held up by the Pension Sanctioning Authorities.
2. The object behind Rule 1 1 of Orissa· Pension Rules. 1977 read with instructions issued
thertunder referred to above is that the pension and gratuity, being the last intitlements of a Govern
ment Servant,should be released for his/her early resetlement without any detriment to the interetf
32 -
of the-Government. Despite the above provisions of rules and instructions it is noticed that in many
cases the payment of provisional pension and gratuity are being delayed by Pension Sanctioning
Authorities under the plea of minor/routine charges, keeping in view the provision of Rule 1 0 of
Orissa Pension Rul�s. 1977.
3. It is, therefore, impress£d upon all P41nsion Sanctioning Authorities once again that payment
of provisional pension and gratuity should not bo held up where minor punishment under Rules 13
and 16 of 0. S. C. (C.C.A.) Rules, 1962 inflicted/proposed to bo inflicted on the retired Government
Servants on conclusion oftho Departmental or judicial proceedings drawn up againSt him/her.

A simplified procedure streamlining the action oriented time schedule for preparation, pro·

Department OffiC(' Memorandum No. 1/F.,dated the 1st January 1986. The object bohind the said
simplified prooed1.1re is that in all cases of retirement, pension either provisiona I (equals to final
pension) or final pension as the case may be, should be sanctioned on the first day of the month
According to the Office Memorandum referred to above, every Head of

the Office is required to prepare a list of employees who are due to retire from serviC(l within the
next 24- 30 months, twico in a year, i.e., 1 &'t January and 1St July and then transmit copy of the

of pension papers should be completed by the Head of Office and Pension Sanctioning Authority
as early as possible in advance before eight months ofthe dote of retirement ofan employee.
2. But it has come to thG notice of tho Government that the prescribed action oriented time
schedule is not at all being strictly adhered to, by the Pension Sanctioning Authority. as a result
ths pension pap�rs are seldom received in the office of Accountant-General (A&E), Orissa before the
date of retirement of the efr1)1oyees. It is pertinent to note that it has bsen assessed by the
Accountant-General (A & E), Orissa that during the iaSt one year (January, 1 991 to DE a< mbcr, 1991]
only in 1 7 cases pension papers were received by him before the date of retirement out of tota
number of6,855 cases. Delay in preparation, s
anction and authorisation of P. P. 0/G. P. 0. leads to
�
severe criticism and complains before different a uthoi y and in different form of discussions inclu
ding Pension A<faiat. To avoid such criticism and complains the procedural doubts, if any
dropped-up at the level of Pension Sanctioning Authority in the process of early transmission o
pension papers to the Accountant-General (A & E), Orissa should be removed early in consultcticr
with F. A./A. F. A. of the Administrative Departments and the Accounts Oflicer of the concerncc

should take
utmost care in transmitting the pension papers to the office of the Accountant·

Para. 1 above to avoid any criticism or complaints in future.

RESOLUTION
In the procedure outlined under Finance Department Resolution No. 1 1 618-F.; dat�d the 19tt
March 1987. it was decided that a durable Pass Book for Provident Fund Accounts shall be provided tc
each of the subscriber for his/her full service period. The price of the Pass Book was fixed at Rs. 10/·
35
(Rupees ten) per copy. In tho meantime, the cost of materials, printing and other charges have incteased
to a great extent, consequently it has not become possible to supply such durable Pass Books witll
plastic covers at the above cost. It has therefore been decided to re-fix the cost of the Pass Book
at Rs. 16/- (Rupees sixteen) per copy from the date of issue of these orders.
2. (a) The Drawing and Disbursing Officer while making requisition for issue of Pass Books in
favour of new subscribers should deduct the cost of the Pass Books as now re-fixed a b0ve from the
monthly Pay Bill of such subscribers creditable to the Head of Account "0075-Miscellaneous- General
Services-.800-Other receipts-(c)-�iscellaneous". In the requisition letter, the Drawing Officer
should indicate to the Finance Dtpartment the full name and designation of the subscriber, G. P. F.
Account No .., Bill No .., 'I'. V. No. and date on which the cost of the Pass Book has been realised from
the subscriber for issue of Pass Book.
(b) Where a new subscriber is not willing to allow necessary deduction towards the cost of the
Pass Book to the Drawing and Disbursing Officer, he/she may directly deposit the cash equivalent
to the cost of the Pass Book into the Treasury/Sub-Treasury through treasury chala n under the Head
of Account indicated in Sub-Para. (a) above. The Drawing and Disbursing Officer while making
requisition for issue of Pass Book should furnish the original chelan to Finance Department alongwilh
a forwarding letter indicating other details about the subscriber as stipul&ted under Sub-Para. (a) above.
The Drawing and Disbursing Officer should take utmost care and see that the original Treausry Challan
showing the deposit of the cost of the Pass Book under the appropriate Head of Account has been.
duly passed and authenticated with numbers, date, seal and signature of the competent authority of the
concerned Treasury/Sub-Treasury.
(c) 'The subscribers on deputation to any foreign body shall be issued Pass Books through the
Drawing and Disbursing Officer of their parent cadre after realisation of cost of the Pass Books in the
procedure indicated at (b) above. The cost of the Pass Books shall also be realised in accordance
with the same procedure as indicated under Sub-para. (b) above, in respect of subscribers drawing
their salary not on the basis oft he monthly Pay Bill authorised by Treasury/Sub-Treasury but directly from
the Banks through the cheques issued by their Drawing and Disbursing Officers.
3. A duplicate copy of the Pass Book may be issued in favour of a subscriber if the original is
lost. The cost of such duplicate Pass Book is now re-fixed at Rs. 24/- (Rupees twenty-four) per copy
and the same sha II be realised from the needy subscriber in tha appropriate procedures outlined under
Para. 2 above. Before issue of duplicate Pass Book the Drawing and Disbursing Officer should call for
a declaration in duplicato from the concerned subscriber that the original issued in his/her favour has
been lost. After issue of the duplicate Pass Book. an intimation alongwith one copy of the declaration
so received from tho subscriber should be sent promptly to the Accounts Officer in the Office of
Accountant-General, Orissa. The duplicate copy of the Pass Book shall be up-datect"from the month
in which it is issued on the basis of accounts maintained in the ledger. The Drawing and Disbursing
Officer should prominently indicate in capita I letter on the first page of the Pass Book, "DUPLICATE
COPY"with his/her seal and signature at the time of issue of the duplicate Pass Book.
'
4. No. Bank Drafts/Cheques would be entertairned by the Drewing a.nd Disbursing Officus towards
the cost of the Pass Book. The Drawing and Disbursing Officer should only m�ke requisition and
recommend fer issue of Pass Books only after allotment of Account Number by the Accounts Officer
in too Office of the Accountant-General, Orissa, in favour of the subscriber.
5. This partially modif1es the Finance Department Resolution No. 1 1 61 8-F., detfd the 19th

2. Provident Fund accumulations after retirement are required to be authorised by tho Audit office
basing on the information furnished on the application Form 0. T. C.-80 (A&B) by the subscriber and
forwarded through Head Office/Drawin!) and Disbursing Officer. Despite the issue of savera I Instructions

1961 , 1974, 1981, 1985, 1989 and 1990. These rules are published in the Official Gazetto ofthe
State. The employees arealso made aware of the various provisions of the Revised Pay Rules and
executive instructions thereon by circulation through their respective hues of OfficEs/DEpartment
·and empl oyees are called upon to exercise their option by the prescribed time.
'
It has now come to the notice of tho Government in the Finance Department that after lapse of
some years after the expiry of the prescribed period exercising the option, many cmploy.ecs are
.coming up with request "for change of their ear lier options and refixation of their pay under any
particular Revised Scales of Pay Rules on various grounds such as :-
(I) ignorance ofthe provisions of Revised Scales of Pay Rules and subsequent instructions
issued thereon ;
(II) failure to.exercise option within prescribed time-limit for the reason of their being posted
in interio r areas and not receiving the rules and i nstructions either in time ;
(Iii) change of the mode of calculation of House Rent Allowance at a later date ;
40
(iv) financial loss noticed after fixation of pay as per the option exercised 1
(v) drawal of higher pay by the juniors due to correct and appropriate exercise of option
(viii)
1
decision of the Government with regard to promotion, grant of increment or any
service benefits with retrospective effect, finalisation of court proceedings necessitating
refixation ·of pay, subsequent to the period prescribed for exercising option.
Gsnerally, a n option once exercised under a particular Revised scale of Pay Rules is final
unless the oompetent authority _holds otherswise consistent with the provisions of such rules
Thus, the ultimate resopnsibility rests with the Government servant who is to choose and opt, very
carefully, a beneficial date to come over to the Revised Scales of Pay so as to reap the maximum
financial benefit out of pay fixation from a particular date. 'There are, however, certain cases which
deserve consideration for the reason that in such cases either the earlier option becomes due to
late decision of Government or any Court or where the circumstances requiring change of earlier
option were beyond the control of the Government servant. Except in cases of these categories
there Is hal(lly any justification to entertain a· request or prayer at a belated stage for change of
the option already exercised. But it has been· experienced that a number of cases, whother theY
are decserving or not on tho basis of valid reesons, are b•ling referred to the Government in the
Finance Department for consideration requiring, in consequences repetitive work and entailing
avoible expenditure out of the State exchequer.
In order to put a s:heck on the aforesaid large number of references to Government in the I
Finance Department, which are
avoidable and to streamline the basis which should be taken into
acount while making such reference, the /'.dministrative Departments ofthe Government are hereby
requested to scrutinise such cases at their level so as to take a decision as to whether the earlier
option has become infructuous under the changed circumstances or the circumstances under which
any option is sought to be changed was beyond the control ofthe Government servants concerned.
The cases so scrutinised and found fit to be considered may only be referred to the Finance
Department for consideration.

The cases pending in the Finance Department on the date of issue of this Office Memorandum
wll bo disposed of keeping i n view the above guidelines.

the balance shown in, the Cash Book and, record a signed and dated certificate to that effect. With a
iewtoensuring regular and systematic maintenance of Cash Bookandpreventing any temporary shortzge

by all concerned:.-
(i) All monetary transactions should be entered in the Cash Book as soon as they occur and
attested by the Drawing and Disbursing Officers in token of such check.
(ii) In Offices where the Head of the Office is not the Drawing and Disbursing Officer the Cash

Officer at least once in a month who sh�uld record a dated and signed certificate to that
effect.

Subject-Non-maintenance of Register of undisbursed pay & allowances as required under S. R. 235
of OTC Voi.-1-Non-observance thereof.
The undersigned is directed to say that the A G. (Audit· I) has observed an irregularity of
.-
\
58
Vol. 1. Under the aforesaid provision the Head of Office is responsible for the . disbursment ot
pay and allowances drawn from the Treasury to the recipients after obtaining valid quittances o n th<
Acqu.ittance Roll ma.intained for the purpose. If for any reason the payment cannot be made to a
payee in course of a month such amount is required to be refunded by short drawa I in the next
bill. However, as per the proviso under S. R. 235 (2), the Head of the Office has the discretion to
retain the undisbursed pay and allowances for any period hot exceeding 3 months provided he Is of
the opinion that the restriction is likely to operate to the disadvantage of the payee by causing hin
avoidable inconvenience and hardship.
2. As per note-5 under S. R. 235 (4) of the 'l'reasury Cede an account of undisbursec
pay and allowance is required to be kept by each Head· of the Office in a register in form
No. 0. '1". c. 28-B. In this register the entries of the totai and particular amount& of undisbursed
pay and allowances are required to be made serially in a chronological order and subsequent payment�
entered in the register and the Cash Book. Each of the entries in the register should be attestec
by the Head of the Office or a Gazetted ·Officer authorised for the purpose. An extract of the
amounts remaining u.ndisbursed fo·r 3 months shall be prepared out of this register to ensure thE
tefund of such amount either in cash or by short drawal from the next bill.
3. The procedure outlined in S. R. 235 is intended to ensure regular watch and prompt anc
proper utilisation of the amounts drawn from the 'l'reasury towards pay and allowances of thE
Government employees so that no diversion of funds and utilisation thereof for other purposes mal
occur. Despite such clear codal provisions, persistent Irregularity has been noticed and pointec
out by the Accountant-General, Orissa due to non-maintenance of the register of undisbursed pa\
and allowances in the prescribed form. Due to violation of the provision and non-observance of the
procedure difficulty is experienced by the Heads of Offices f Drawing & Disbursing Ofticers ir
watching the disposal of u ndisbursed amounts and it results in retention of heavy cash in tota
disregard of the rules and provides scope for temporary misappropriation and defalcation.
4. It is therefore, impressed upon all cone<>rned that the provisions contained in S. R. 235 (2.
of the Treasury Code, Vol.-1 should be strictly followed and the prescribed register of undisbursec
pay and allowances duly maintai�ed with a view to eliminating /rectifying the persistent irregularit
pointed out by the Accountant-General.
5. This may be brought to the notice of all the Officers under their administrative control.

Subject- Prescription of norms for Typists in the District Audit Offices under Local Fund Audit
Organisation.
Sir,
In cours� of inspection of different District Offices of the LocaI Fund Atldit Organisation, it is noticed
that the norms proscribed in the Orissa Records Manual for the typists about their daily outturn are not
strictly adhered to for which timely issue of audit reports is badly delayed. I n this connection Rule 85
·
of the Orissa Records Manual is relevant. There should be a Distri bution Register of drafts etc., among the
�'--Typ ists i n Form 13 as per APPENDIX-F. As regards yeard-stick for the Typists, it has been indicated in
Rule 86 of the Orissa Records Manua I that a Typist should type out at least 30 fool scap size paper per day
containing at least 7,000 words. ·Extravagant use of spaco mu$t have to be avoidec!. The above yard
stick may be reduced by 25 per cent to 50 per cent in consideration of the volume of tho statement and
figure work with the a p proval of the officer-in-charge. Since the yard-stick prescribed forth� Typists
in tho Orissa R9cords Man ua l is not strictly followed, the ouuurn of the l'ypists ls not checked. This
·
effects issue of reports in time.
In order to have full control over the performances of the Typists, it is here impressed upon
all the District Audit Officers to ensure that the outturn prescribed for the Typists is enforced and the
required Register is maintained.
Any lapses found in this regard will be seriously viewed.

In course of scrutiny of audit reports, some common mistakes are being noticed. Although
instructions were issued earlier to avoid such mistakes, it is now felt fhat the District Audit
Officers are not attaching due importance to rectify such mistakes before issue of the Audit Report.
Instances of common mistakes found out in the audit reports are enumerated below;-
'
1 . List of i mpo rta nt irregularities is not atta ched to the Audit Rep ort
3. Full name of the delinquent is not wrinen both in the Sur:harge Statement as well as
in the relevant para.
4. 'The correct /present address is notfurnished in detail in the Audit Report, if the delinquent
has been transferred at the time of audit.
5. 'The amount differs in the Surcharge Statement as against the amount meruioned in the
connected paras .
8. 'The Surcharge "tatement is not prepared properly bifurcating the amount under

'
District Audit Officer, Puri, the other District Audit Officers are. not submitting the Draft Audit
Reports of such bigger institutions, to this Department for finalfsation before issue. As a result of
such non-submission, this Departn:tent are l]Ot in a po'>ition to kno\')1 and appreciate the nature
of serious financial irregularities incorporated in the draft audit reports and their tenability before
such reports are issued to all concerned. In order to obviate such difficulties, the following revised
instructions are issued which· should scrupulously be followed by the concerned District Audit
Officers. 'This supersedes the Department letter referred to above.
1 . The draft audit 'leports i n re�'J)ect of the followin(J bigger institutions, after their initial
review conducted on the $pot by the District Audit Officers, should invariably be sent
to this Department for finalisation.
2. While conducting the spot review of such draft audit reports to the District Audit
Officers concerned should examine the Y.arious financial irregularities of important
nature pointed out the;ein ,with reference to the objection statements issued by Audit
and compliance f1.1rnished by the local authority as well.
3. If any objection embodied in the draft audit report will be found untenable, the same
/
should be deleted after recording the reasons of such deletion in the margin.
4. While conducting the ini)ial spot review, the District Audit Officers should also see
that the serious financial ir�egularities pointed out in the draft audit reports, which
attract the provisions of section 9 (2) (b) of the 0. L. F. A. Act,1 948 are wil
established and they are supported by the releva nt rules I reg1.1lations of the local
bodies concerned.
5. Before submission of the reviewed draft audit reports it should be ensured that the
opening balance figures as i ndicated in different paras have been thoroughly
scrutinised i n office with reference to the previous a udit reports.
6. Similarly it should be ensured thnt the accuracy of the statements dealing with the
result of audit and surcharge case are property certified a t the time of· scrutiny of the

Subject-lnstruct.ions i sue of objection statements and non-production of records
regarding s
to Audit.
Sir,
I
I am directed to say that instructions issued earlier regarding conduct of audit are not
strictly adhered to by the Auditors and th9 supervisory staff for which tha Audit Reports am
suffering from certain omissions I defects.
The audit objection statements should . he_nceforth bG issued to. tho local authorities In a
phased manner in course of audit and their replied ensured. It is noticed that audit objection
statements are being issued to wards the fag end of audit 'for which the local authorities find it
difficult to comply with the obj9ctions at a time. In audit paras . • persons responsible tor loss end
misappropriation etc., are simply indicated. But the ret::lies furnised by the local authorities in this
regard are not briefly incorporated in the audit report. Due attention is not being paid· to the replies
furnished by the loca I authorities bgfore involving them in loss and misappropriation cases. This
107
creates lot of problems before the higher forums especially at the time of disposal of Surcharge
proceedings. Before a person is held responsible for loss or misappropriation etc., the repliea
furnished by the (ocal authorities should invariably be examined with the records and findings
of the Auditors should be elaborately discussed in the draft Para after stating the replies of the
local authorities.
It has also come to the notice of Government that local authorities are not producing records·
and registers in certain cases to Audit even on demand through objection statements for which
a pottion of the records is left .unaudited. In the subsequent year of audit also, the audit parties
are not insisting upon production of the sa mg. So in certain case, audit in all respects could not be
conducted relating to some institutions. Even some of the Auditors are leaving records unaudited without
the knowledge of the competent authority in contravention of Rule 1 0 of the 0. L. F. A. Rules, 1951. In
such cases, there should be proportionate reduction of days allowed in the audit programme. At the
time of subsequent audit, the Auditors should insist upon production of the unaudited portion of
the accounts /records for which extra days may be allowed by the D.A.Os. i n consideration ofthe
volume of work-load. All the Supervisory Officers are hereby instructed to ensure that no portion
of the account� is left unaudited and the unaudited portion of the accounts of the previous year
is produced at the time of audit /review of the subsequent years accounts.
These instructions may be brought to the notice of all the Auditors and supervisory staff
working under your control.

EKaminor of local Accounts-cum
Additional Secretary to Government.
To
Sir,
I
In inviting a reference to the aforesaid subject, I am d�ected to say that as per the executive
instructions issued u/r 23 ofthe O.l. F. A. Rules, 1951,the local authoritits are required to furinish
compliance to the audit reports within three months from the date of issue. This being the legal
position there should not be any bar for initiating surcharge action in all the fit cases by the
authorities concerned soon after the expiry of the prescribed period of three months.
- .

Past experience shows that despite s �ch clear provision many of you have failed to initiate
timely surcharge action in almost all the fit cases on some pre-text or the other. Instead, surcharge
aclion in all such cases have been il)itiated by you after long lapse of ti me. By the time the
surcharge action is initiated a t such belated stage, it is found that either some of the delinquents
have already expired or some have long since retired or left the conc erned
' lqcal bodies on transfer·
to other places. In respect of the first category of cases,.. surcharge action cannot be initiated as
per the law to make 90od the loss for which the deliequent officials have been held responsib.le.
In the other category cases, it becomes extremely difficult to serve the show cause notice on the
deliequents after ascertaining their present address. Thus, delay in initiation of Surcharge action
gives rise to problems. the tacklin(f of which poses ·difficulties .
. .
It is therefore, impressed upon you to realise the gravity ofthe situation and do your best to initiate
surcharge action in a II the fit cases, falling withi n your power soon after expiry of the period prescribed
for ,compliance after taking into consideration the objections, if any settled through compliance reports
earlier. In compliance. to these instructions, v.ou shou.ld hence forth append a certificat� invari'ably
in the M.P. R. for audit, review, compliance, surcharge etc., stating that surcharge action in respect
of a II the_ fit -cases due for initiation ·at the beginning of the mo11.th to which the. M. P. R. relates,
have already been initiated for information of Government. Any deviation in ths matter wiil be
seriously viewed..
Yottrs faithfully

OFFICE ORDER
headquarters.
Under the exrstmg system the headquarters of Auditors and Audit Superintendents has been
iixed at different circles within the respective districts. This has caused undue hardshi to thep
Audit personal and given rise to avoidable grievances due to frequent changes made by the
District Audit Officer's in course of a year. Fixation of headquarters at circles is also not in
consonance with the provision in the Service Code. Accordingly the ·question of fixation ot head
quarters of the Auditors and Audit Superintendents of the Local Fund Organisation of the head
quarters of the district corcerned where the offic,e of the District Audit Officer is located was under
consideration. After taking into account, different aspects and after careful considetation, it has
itors and Audit Superintendents of the Local Fund
been decided to fix the headquarters of the Aud
Organisation at their respective district headquarters where the District Audit Officers are located.
The aforesaid order shall come into force with effect from the 1st Apri l 1 992.
