PART-2. Compilation of Accounts .

2.0 Compilation Process:

In Tamil Nadu, the Treasuries / Pay and Accounts Offices primarily compile the monthly accounts comprising the Main Accounts and Subsidiary Accounts, from the original sources / basic records such as vouchers in respect of payments and challans in respect of receipts, made or received by them throughout the month. At the end of the month, they furnish the primarily compiled accounts to the Accountant General with all the supporting documents, such as vouchers, schedules, list of payments, plus and minus memorandums etc. 2.1 Receipt of supporting documents from Treasuries along with Monthly Accounts

Every month, the vouchers *A, B C and D are received in the Accountant General’s office from various Treasuries. During the checking of Vouchers with the List of Payments, it was observed, that all the vouchers relating to payment of salaries, loans and advances, gazetted vouchers, All India Services vouchers etc. were not enclosed in voucher bundles handed over to Accountant General. As per Treasury Rule 4 (Subsidiary Rule 5), it is mandatory on the part of all Treasuries to forward all the vouchers to Accountant General (A&E), every month along with the compiled Main Accounts and Subsidiary Accounts, in complete and correct manner. 2.1. 1 Non Receipt of vouchers / challans in support of expenditure from Treasuries

Vouchers are documents of evidence of the transactions. It is essential that all the vouchers are to be sent to the Accountant General along with the accounts. However, it was noticed that during 2019-20, 2353 items amounting to Rs. 189.34 crore were held in objection for want of vouchers (Annexure 2). Treasuries are addressed periodically to furnish “Wanting vouchers” which have been omitted to be sent to this office.

*A - Salary vouchers, B - Contingent vouchers, C - Refund vouchers, D - Grants in Aid vouchers

The major number of wanting vouchers was noticed in the following departments.

2.2 Review of Drawal of Temporary Advances under Article 99 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code

As per article 99 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code Volume I, for the purpose of meeting contingent expenditure of a specified kind or on a specific occasion and when it is not covered by standing sanction given by the Government, an application for sanction of Temporary Advances (TAs) shall be submitted by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) to the Government. With the sanction of the Government, Temporary Advances may be drawn by the DDOs. Such Temporary Advances drawn by the departmental officers shall

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 15

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 be adjusted within three months from the date of drawal of the advances. TAs pending adjustment for more than three months shall be brought to the notice of the Heads of the departments / Government respectively by the Treasury Officer. A third advance drawn by the same Drawing and Disbursement officer also cannot be sanctioned when two advances are already pending.

As of 31.3.2020, 1790 Temporary Advances amounting to Rs.365.15 crore remains unadjusted. Out of those 1790 items, 174 items amounting to Rs.109.19 crore belong to period prior to 1st April 2019 and 1616 items amounting to Rs.255.96 crore belong to 2019-20.

The treasury wise and year wise details are shown in Annexure 5.

The age wise pendency is depicted below:

2.3 Wrong inclusion of transactions under GPF (State)

1. The General Provident Fund (GPF) accounts of Tamil Nadu State Government Employees, All India Service Provident Fund (AISPF) accounts of IAS, IPS and IFS Officers of Tamil Nadu State cadre and Teachers Provident Fund accounts in respect of the Primary and Middle School Teachers of Panchayat and Municipal Schools and Teaching & Non teaching Staff of Schools run by Corporations of Chennai and Madurai are maintained by this office. A total number of 2.30 lakh subscriber accounts are being maintained as of 31st March 2020.

2. Misclassification of non GPF accounts such as Noon Meal Programme (NMP)/AISPF/Family Benefit Fund (FBF)/Income Tax/Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS)/Teachers Provident Fund (TPF) deductions under 8009 GPF and vice versa was noticed. Rectification of the above misclassification was carried out through Alteration Memorandum by Treasury Officers or Transfer Entries (TEs) by the Accountant General. .

3. GPF Deductions as given in Annexure 8 were made in respect of 88 subscribers who were retired / died. This indicates the failure of internal control mechanism and that there is no validation / check in drawal of pay and Allowances for employees in service only. 4. 773 debit vouchers were not furnished by Treasuries as listed in Annexure 9. This

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 17

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

leads to wanting vouchers and ultimately ends up in missing debits in the accounts of the subscribers thus inflating the balances in their GPF Accounts. 5. It was noticed that in 135 accounts belonging to twenty treasuries, the GPF deduction for March 2019 had been booked in the month of March 2019 itself which clearly indicates violation of budget provisions as Salary for March has to be claimed only in the month of April. This indicates failure of internal control mechanism in the treasuries. 6. As the main account figure is the control total for the overall amount booked under GPF for a month/Treasury, differences between Main Account and Sub-Account had to be taken up with the Treasuries concerned for reconciliation. A few illustrative samples are given below- 1. Difference in Appendix – ‘A’ of Virudunagar Treasury for the months from January 20 to March 20 2. Difference in Appendix –‘A’ of Tuticorin Treasury for the month of February 20. 7. During the year 2019-20, 27066 Challans amounting to R.84,21,74,499/- were booked under GPF/TPF. More than 50% of the challans are not enclosed with the credit schedules every month. After pursuing with the Treasury Officers through email, whatsapp and phone, the details are collected and the postings were completed. At the end of 2019-20, challans to the extent of Rs. 25 lakhs were wanting. 8. Manual corrections made in the Credit List, Loan List and Main Accounts received from Treasuries were not authenticated by the Competent Authority in respect of 155 Alteration Memorandum (AMs) in credit and 6 AMs in debit. These AMs were incorporated in the Accounts after confirming with the treasuries concerned. Details are given in Annexure 10. 9. While preparing the credit schedules, treasuries are required to enclose all the GPF schedules as per the credit list. However, the CPS schedules which are not appearing in GPF credit list are enclosed instead of the GPF schedules. 10. Sanction order list of 90% Part Final Withdrawal is not being sent to AG by Karur, Madurai, Salem, Tiruvannamalai and Sivagangai Treasuries, despite the issue of specific directions by the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts in April 2019.

2.4 Un-reconciled Net (Dr.) differences of Reserve Bank Deposits (State) between

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 18

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

Treasuries and Banks Office of the Accountant General reconciles figures reported by the Reserve Bank of India with figures reported by the Treasuries. These figures are compared to ensure that authorization by the Treasuries are paid and accounted for by the banks. The discrepancies are worked out and pursued with the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts and Reserve Bank of India.

Discrepancies arise between RBI figures and Treasury Figures (which is adopted by the AG in the preparation of accounts) because of either excess debits (Payments) made by Agency Banks to Government Account or non-reporting of credits (Receipts-both regular and online) by Agency Banks to Government Account. As on 31.03.2020, a net CREDIT difference of Rs. 1144.16 crore exists under the Major Head “8675 Reserve Bank Deposits” between figures reported by the Banks and by Treasuries. Out of this, a difference of around Rs. 915.96 crore is due to the mismatch in reporting of online receipts to RBI and PAO (East) since 2018 by the Banks.

In order to sort the discrepancies, this office undertook a study of accounting of e-receipts, by the PAO (E), the e- treasury and the designated accounting authority. This study revealed that the difference of around Rs. 915.96 crore is primarily due to the non accounting of e-receipts of certain departments (like the Registration department), by the accounting authority (PAO-East). The lapse occurred due to the non-reporting of the e- receipts by the agency banks to PAO East, due to software (TN e-scroll) compatibility issues. However the agency banks had rightly reported the on-line receipts to RBI through e-Kuber portal which means that, the money had been received by the RBI on behalf of the State, however the Revenue Receipts have been understated in the books of accounts.

The year wise details are given in Annexure 11. Recommendation  Reconciliation’ is the primary internal control to ensure that the moneys due to Government are received and accounted for accurately. In the case of e- treasury, it was noticed that there is no practice/mechanism by which the departments reconcile their monthly e-receipts with the treasury as is the practice for manual process whereby the DDO reconciles the (Over the counter) receipts with the treasury periodically, ensuring accuracy. It is suggested that a monthly reconciliation mechanism between the service departments and PAO

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 19

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

(East), the e-treasury may be implemented.  It was also noticed that the agency bank reports a particular day’s e-receipts to RBI based on ‘transaction date’. However the same transactions are reported by the agency banks to PAO (East), based on ‘scroll date (transaction date + 1 or more)’. Though, the moneys have been received in RBI, such a practice, results in a situation that the accounts do not reflect the same position accurately. Because of this procedure, no monthly account (including March), incorporates the transactions of the last day of that month and it is carried to the subsequent month. Consequently, the monthly account understates the revenue receipts. Further, it also becomes difficult for this office to trace and rectify the discrepancies. It is suggested that PAO (East), the e-treasury, may ensure that the VDMS is presented to the Accountant General on the basis of transaction date only as done by the treasuries for regular transactions.

2.5 Personal Deposit Accounts

The Personal Deposit Account is intended for a specific purpose for which it is created. It is governed by Article 269 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code Volume I. The balances / drawals from the Deposit Accounts are communicated by way of plus and minus memoranda.

2.5 .1 Operation of Personal Deposit Accounts i.

It can be opened by the State Government after obtaining permission from the Accountant General and shall be closed on 31st March every year. During 2019-20, 78 such PD accounts (transferred from Consolidated Fund) have been opened out of which 9

Recommendation

Government may consider the discontinuance of operation of Personal Deposit Accounts. If any unforeseen expenditure has to be incurred the same can be done by drawal of funds as Temporary Advance under Article 99 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code. Where it is absolutely necessary, PD Accounts may be opened giving full justification and operated in strict adherence to rules.

The compiled Main Accounts and Sub Accounts are received from Treasuries on the stipulated date every month without any delay. However, owing to the implementation of Integrated Financial and Human Resources System (IFHRMS) in Karur Treasury, there was a delay in receipt of the Treasury Account for the month of January 2020 mainly for the reason of conversion of 15 digits to 16 digits code. Due this delay, the Karur Account has been excluded from Monthly Civil Accounts (MCA) of January 2020 and included in the MCA of February 2020.

2.7 Other issues:

2.7 .1 Pension Processing

Pension proposals along with Service Register (SR) received from Departments are approved after necessary checks and Electronic authorizations are being sent to the

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 21

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

Treasuries for payment and pensioners can download their copy of the authorizations from website of the AG.

2.7.2 CTA/AG Instructions not followed by PAOs/ TOs while forwarding the pension proposals

1. The statement of service in respect of All India Service Officers / Self Drawing Officers who are under the control of Pay and Accounts Offices’(PAOs) is required to be sent along with their pension proposals to the Accountant General to process the pension and other entitlements. During 2019-20 proposals in respect of 120 self drawing officers, 20 IPS and IFS officers were received without the required Statement of Service from all the PAOs located in Chennai i.e East, South, North, Secretariat and High Court. 2. The Both Halves of pension payment orders have to be returned to Accountant General by the Treasuries as and when the validity ceases due to death of the Pensioner/Family pensioner, conditional authorization or if the undrawn period exceeds three years. Instead, the Both Halves are being returned to this office in bulk at one instance. 3. Electronic authorizations are being sent for Pension, Commuted Value of Pension, Gratuity, Family Pension and Revision of pension cases with the facility to download the pensioners copy from the website of the AG. Normally the Treasury would insist on pensioner copy for identity and other purposes before commencing pension/family pension/revision of pension. The download of pensioner copy from website was not successful when there were technical issues and hence to avoid hardship to pensioners, the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts was requested in this office DO letter no. Pen 30/4/2019-20/11163 dated 13-5-2019 to give suitable instructions to all treasuries not to insist on pensioner copy of authorization as the descriptive roll consisting the photo, identification marks and specimen signature are scanned and sent along with electronic authorization in respect of original cases, and also for revision cases as they are existing pensioners. The Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts has taken up the matter with the Finance Department for necessary amendment in the Treasury Code.[Letter no. 26423/Finance(Pension)/2019 dated 12-6-2019]. Since the treasuries are insisting on party copy, this office still issues Form M, an alternative for pensioner copy, as and

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 22

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

when request is received from pensioners. During 2019-20, this office has issued 510 duplicate copies (Form M) to the pensioners. 4. The data relating to first payment of pension is being captured in the system for record and verification. Such vouchers should be segregated and sent separately by treasuries. If they are sent along with other vouchers, extracting the same could not be done in this office. This would result in non posting of first payment of pension. During 2019-20, 18 treasuries as listed in Annexure 12 have not sent the vouchers separately. The circular instructions already issued by the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts in RC No.22660/09/E2 dated 15-6-2009 may therefore be scrupulously followed by all treasuries to segregate and send the vouchers relating to first payment of pension in separate bundles to this office. 5. In the post audit cases of Police Department, department is paying a part of the DCRG amount (80%) at the first instance as prescribed and the balance will be paid after issue of the amount admitted and noted in the admissibility report by AG. The admissibility report is not an authorization and no payment should be made on the strength of the admissibility report. Therefore it should not be sent to AG for revalidation. Despite the fact already reported in the previous report itself, this mistake is still continuing.

3.4 Non revalidation of Gratuity payment authority after the expiry of one year

The DCRG and GPF authorizations issued by the AG, Tamil Nadu shall be valid for a period of one year and 6 months respectively. If the authorization is not paid, the same shall be returned to AG for revalidation. However, on a review of DCRG/GPF registers maintained in various Treasuries/ Sub Treasuries, it was seen that though the validity had expired in respect

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 26

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 of 98 cases, necessary action had not been taken by the treasuries for revalidation. . (Annexure 15 )

3.5 Improper/Non maintenance of records

The Treasury Inspection Parties while inspecting the Treasuries / Sub Treasuries noticed and pointed out the following discrepancies in maintenance of records: a) The pay and allowances of the Self drawing officers who are drawing grade pay of Rs.7600/- and above are authorized by the Accountant General (A&E) and the same is paid through 41C Pay Bill register. Whenever pay authorization is received from the Accountant General or Last Pay certificate is received from other stations due to transfer, it is mandatory to obtain the specimen signature of the concerned officer and affix the same on the left hand side top corner of 41C register and get it attested by the Bill passing officer. But, improper maintenance of 41 C Register such as (i) non attestation of specimen signature and (ii) non production of certificate for claiming HRA were noticed in 9 Treasures, 1 PAO and 15 Sub Treasuries. (Annexure 16 ). b) According to Subsidiary Rule 32A under TR 16, every bill shall be presented by DDOs to the Treasury / PAO along with TNTC 70 only. After ascertaining about the availability of budget allocation, a system generated token number is allotted and noted in the TNTC 70 register. The bill shall also be noted in the movement register in Form 70A and handed over to the bill passing Accountant. The bill passing accountant shall make necessary entries in Form TNTC 70D and he shall either pass or audit the bill within three days from the date of its receipt in accordance with codal provisions. The passed bills shall be forwarded after entering in TNTC 70D register and the register shall be closed daily. It was observed that Bills received and entered in 70A Register did not tally with 70 D Register in 17 inspected units (Annexure 17). Due to non-closure/non- updation of TNTC 70 D register, the discrepancy between bills received and passed could not be ascertained. c) As per instructions 33 under Treasury Rule 16 every officer drawing bills shall enter the particulars of all their bills in TNTC 70 register. Columns 8 to 10 shall be filled up by the Treasury and the rest by the office concerned. However, it was observed that Column 11 (Voucher number) of TNTC 70 Register was not filled by 44 inspected units (Annexure 18). It was also observed that in 17 inspected units, various Deposit Registers,

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 27

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

viz., Repayment of Revenue Deposit Register, Security Deposit Register, Revenue Deposit & Criminal Courts Deposit, Civil Court Deposits, PWD / Forest / Highways Deposit register etc., were not updated and closed. (Annexure 19). d) As per the provisions of Para 128 of Tamil Nadu Budget Manual, reconciliation of Departmental figures with those of Treasury / PAO shall be effected without fail by the Departmental Officers every month in order to ensure that there is no embezzlement / misappropriation of Government money which should be monitored through a Register. It was noticed in 27 inspected units that the Reconciliation Register was not updated. (Annexure 20). g. According to Reserve bank of India’s recommendations on reconciliation procedure of State Government transactions, the format of Treasury Pass book has been modified. The revised format contains two parts i.e., Side ‘A’ and Side ‘B’. At the end of each days’ transactions, the total figure of receipt and payment of Government are required to be entered in Side ‘A’ of the pass book by the bank manager and the same should be acknowledged by the Treasury officer with detailed initials. The total number of challans, cheques (with amount thereon) actually received by the Treasury Officer are also required to be entered in Side ‘B’ of the pass book and the same has to be got acknowledged by the Bank Manager with dated initials. Thus, the maintenance of Treasury Pass book will help the Treasury to reconcile the differences if any noticed between the treasury and bank figures then and there. It was noticed that 39 inspected units failed to maintain the Treasury Pass Book in the revised format (Annexure 21). Since the overall responsibility of ensuring the correctness of figures rests with the Treasury / Sub Treasury officer, the pass-book should be maintained properly and should not merely be treated as an acknowledgement of the receipt of scrolls. h. According to Article 143/TNF Code Volume I Physical Verification of stock has to be conducted on or before 31st March of every year or such time as may be prescribed by the competent authority. However, on a scrutiny during Treasury Inspection, it was noticed that no register was maintained in 5 Treasuries and 10 Sub Treasuries, for items of Computer Hardware and physical verification was not conducted till date. Due to non- maintenance of stock register, actual stock of computers available in these 15 units (Annexure 22 )

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 28

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

3.6 Procedural lapses noticed

a. Failure to obtain Certificate of Acceptance of Balances According to note (2) under Article 126 of Tamil Nadu Account Code Volume II and instruction 4 under chapter IV of Tamil Nadu Financial Code Volume I, Certificate of acceptance of balances of various deposits as on 31st March every year, shall be obtained from Administrators before 15th May and forwarded to the Accountant General (A & E), Chennai before 30th June of that year with a view to ensure the accuracy of accounting of these transactions. However, it was noticed, that Certificates of acceptances of balances were not obtained by the Administrators in 22 Treasuries / Sub Treasuries (Annexure 23). b. Check memo for pension payment not prepared The Director of Treasuries and Accounts in his circular No.CTA/39509/2011/E2 dated 27.9.11 had instructed all the District Treasuries and Sub Treasuries to work out a monthly plus and minus memo in the form of check memo, so as to guard against any misappropriation /embezzlement of Government money. However, it was seen that the plus and minus memo had not been worked out by the following 7 Sub Treasuries for monthly pension transactions. 1. Gudiyatham 2. Melur 3. Omalur 4. Polur 5. Sholinganallur 6. Veerakeralampudur 7. Vandavasi c. Delay in receipt of Date wise monthly statements from the Bank and its return

According to RBI’s instruction on accounting procedure of State Government, the Date wise Monthly Statement (DMS) of a month has to be received by the Treasury from the transaction Bank with dated signature of the Bank Manager on the first working day of the succeeding month, and the Verified Date wise Monthly Statement (VDMS) has to be returned to the transaction bank within three days of its receipt and a copy of the same shall be forwarded to the Accountant General (A&E), Tamil Nadu. However, it was noticed that

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 29

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 there is a delay in receipt/return of the DMS / VDMS in various units as listed in Annexure 24.

Verified date wise monthly statement is a basic document, which depicts the actual receipts and payments. Any discrepancy between the VDMS and the figures as reported by the Agency bank is rectified based on VDMS figures. Correction, if any, can be carried out in the same month only if the VDMS is returned in time. As time is of essence in determining delay in reporting transactions, which attracts penal interest and corrections, it is important that the agency banks and Treasuries / Sub Treasuries should strictly adhere to the prescribed time limit.

3.7 Observations noticed in respect of various Deposits Accounts a. Deposits not lapsed to Government: As per the provisions of Article 271 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code Volume I, deposits lying unclaimed for more than 4 years shall lapse to Government. However, from the Deposit records, it was noticed that in 71 Treasuries / Sub Treasuries that an amount of Rs.10.83 crore remained unclaimed for more than four years and yet not lapsed to Government. (Annexure 25) b. Personal Deposit Account inoperative for more than 3 years not closed : According to Article 271 of Tamil Nadu Financial Code Vol.I, any Personal Deposit Account which is not operated for a considerable period should be closed with the concurrence of the Administrator concerned. The procedure to be followed in closing of the inoperative personal deposit account was explained in Govt. Lr.No.98029/Salary/08-9 dated 10.01.2008. However, it was seen from the Registers of personal deposits, that in 5 units, the Personal Deposit accounts are being inoperative under the head 8443-00-106-AC. (Annexure 26 ) c. Minus balances under various Deposit Accounts

While checking the Sub Account 27 C- Consolidated Plus and Minus Memorandum available in Treasuries, in 14 units it has been noticed that the Personal Deposit, Local Fund Deposit, Civil Court Deposit and Security Deposit have reflected Adverse/minus balance as noted against each item (Annexure27).

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 30

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

Recommendation: Adverse/ minus balances may be due to misclassification / incorrect adjustments / non accounting of transactions. Hence, the accuracy of these transactions shall be ensured through appropriate procedures such as maintenance of subsidiary accounts, reconciliation of subsidiary accounts with ledger figure, communication and confirmation of balances. d. Excess payment of Half yearly Interest made to Local Fund Deposits

In 14 inspected units, it was noticed from the chittas of Local Fund Deposits available, that incorrect minimum balance was taken into account for interest calculation, which led to excess payment of Half yearly interest to an amount of Rs.2,39,184/- (Annexure 28 )

3.8 Observations with reference to Stamp Account a) Huge retention of stamps in Treasuries: Stamps of huge value amounting to Rs.276.93 crore, were kept in stock for long period in 54 inspected units as listed in Annexure 29 without transferring them to the other Treasuries / Sub- Treasuries with requirements. b) Destruction of soiled / obsolete stamps:

During the scrutiny of Stamp records at District Treasuries and Sub Treasuries, it was noticed that soiled and defectively manufactured stamps were kept for the past one year in 14 units listed in the Annexure 30. They are pending to be forwarded to the Superintendent of Stamps, Chennai which are to be transmitted to Security Printing Press, Nasik, and National Security Press, Hyderabad for replacement. 3.9 Inspection of Strong Room and Issuance of Safety Certificate

With a view to ensuring the safety and security of the Strong room of the Treasuries/Sub- Treasuries, where valuables of the Government, are stored, Tamil Nadu Treasury Rule 11 (Instruction 4) stipulates that Strong Room of the Treasury shall be inspected annually by the P.W.D. Executive Engineer, or by his Subordinate Officer nominated for the purpose and a certificate of safety to be issued by such inspecting officer. But in 11 inspected units as listed in Annexure 31, it was noticed that such certificates have not been obtained. 3.10 Annual Verification of Valuables, deposited in the Treasuries

Sealed packets/bags containing valuables which are lodged by different Drawing Officers in the Treasury for safe custody are required to be verified by the depositing officers. Non- verification of valuables deposited in the Treasuries prevents the depositors from ascertaining

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 31

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 the present status of sealed packets/sealed bags i.e. whether the valuables are present or lost, sealed articles are intact or not. In 53 inspected units given in Annexure 32, such annual verification of valuables was not done by the depositors. 3.11 Excess payment of Pensionary benefits a) Non deduction of commuted portion of pension resulting in excess payment

According to Rule 9 (vi) of Tamil Nadu Civil Pension (Commutation) Rules, the reduction in pension shall take effect from the date of payment of commuted value of pension or at the end of three months after issue of authorization by the Accountant General for the payment of commuted value of pension, whichever is earlier.

However, it was seen from the Disburser’s halves of Civil Pensioners in 49 inspected units in 178 cases as listed in the Annexure 33, that contrary to the rules ibid, reduction in the amount of pension on account of commutation had been omitted to be deducted from the date of payment of commuted value of pension or at the end of three months from the date of issue of authorization. This had resulted in an excess payment of Rs.30,08,580/-. b) Enhanced rate of family pension made beyond the conditional period resulting in excess payment According to Rule 49 (3) of Tamil Nadu Pension Rules 1978 “in the event of death of a Govt. servant while in service after having rendered not less than 7 years of continuous service as well as in the event of death of a Government servant after retirement, the enhanced rate of family pension shall be payable for a period of 7 years or for a period up to the date on which the Government servant would have attained the age of 65 years had he survived whichever is earlier”.

But, it was seen from the Disbursers Halves of the family pensioners in 23 inspected units comprising 58 cases as listed in the Annexure 34, enhanced rate of Family Pension instead of normal rate was continued to be paid to them beyond the conditional period which has resulted in excess payment of Rs.51,85,420/-. c) Excess payment of various pensions and allowances According to Rule 50-A of Tamil Nadu pension Rule 1978, Dearness Allowance on pension shall not be paid during the period of re-employment. According Government letter No.15596/Pen/99-1 Finance (Pension) Dept. 22.02.1992 read with Para 27(2) of G.O.MS no.313 Fin (PC) Dept dated 28.10.2017, those pensioners who are receiving two pensions are eligible for One medical allowance only.

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 32

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

However, it has been observed in 31 units, that due to wrong calculation, Excess Payment of Pension, Family pension, Dearness Allowance and Medical Allowances to the tune of Rs.1,46,94968/- were made. (Annexure 35). d) Pension credited after date of death While checking the pension records at District Treasury, it was noticed that the pension for the month in which the pensioners had expired and beyond the date of death had been credited to their bank accounts and remains undrawn in 22 Districts which amounts to Rs.96,67161/- (Annexure 36). The pension amount sent to bank that pertains to the month in which the pensioners expired and for subsequent period should be collected and credited into Government account.

3.12 Unauthorized retention of closed Pension Payment Orders

As per Subsidiary Rule 87 (a) of Treasury Rule 16 of Treasury Code Vol.I, after the death of a pensioner, the disbursing officer shall pay the arrears actually due to the pensioners, to the legal heirs provided that they apply within one year from the date of death. As per Subsidiary Rule 89 (b) after paying Life time arrears of pension due on account of a deceased pensioner, the disbursing officer shall return both halves of the Pension Payment Order to the Accountant General (A&E), Chennai for cancellation. On a test check of pension payment register and disbursers’ halves in some of the Treasuries/Sub Treasuries, i.e. in 81 inspected units involving 485 cases, it was noticed that on the expiry of pensioners, the LTA had been paid to the legal heirs, but, the both halves of PPOs have not been sent to the Accountant General (A&E), Chennai for cancellation (Annexure 37).

3.13 Unencashed cheques not cancelled

As per Rule 47 (2) of the Central Government Account (Receipts and Payments) Rules, a cheque remaining unpaid for any cause shall be cancelled and the amount written back in the accounts. In respect of unencashed cheques lying under 8670, the Treasury offices have to address the concerned DDOs to confirm the fact of payment or otherwise the unencashed cheque amount should be got written back or credited to Government Account by crediting the original expenditure head of account. However, to the end of 31.03.2020, 59036 cheques amounting to Rs.3380.14 crore are still remaining unencashed, in the Treasuries/PAOs given in Annexure 38.

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 33

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

3.14 Amount returned by Banks under Electronic Clearance System (ECS) not settled to beneficiaries.

As on 31.03.2020, an amount of Rs.102.59 crore pertaining to 89325 beneficiaries was returned by banks and remains under suspense account in various Treasuries/Sub Treasuries/PAOs as given in Annexure 39, for want of correct details such as Name of the beneficiary, Savings Bank Account Number etc.

Un credited ECS items are credited back to Suspense Head of Account- 8670 by the agency bank and the list of such items are intimated to the Treasuries by the banks through the statement called ‘RBR7’. In this regard, the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts, Chennai had issued instructions in Letter No.42694/2017/E3 dated 03-11-2017 and 26-03- 2018 that (i) the amount kept under suspense account in respect of unclaimed RECS shall be maintained in a separate register (ii) the return ECS amount pending for more than three months may be written back to Govt. Account (iii) uncredited ECS items should be entered in the ‘ECS Return Register’ in chronological order (iv) the register should be closed daily so that the total No. of unsettled and uncredited ECS items returned by the bank to the Treasury is required to be arrived at in the register in the following format and got attested by the Treasury Officer.

No. of items Amount (Rs.)

It was seen from the ECS return registers maintained in 7 units that daily closing in the above format has not been done. Instead, the ‘RBR7’ statement received from the Bank are entered in the register.

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 34

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20

Further, during the Inspection conducted by this office at Sub Treasury, Paramathy, it was reported by the ATO, Paramathy, that a sum of Rs. 6, 86,572/- was misappropriated by Shri. Arun Babu while settling the return ECS amount due to the beneficiaries. An enquiry was initiated by the Treasury Officer Namakkal and the embezzled amount was remitted back into Government Account. Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts (CTA) has issued instructions to Treasuries / Sub Treasuries at various stages prescribing guidelines to settle Return ECS. However, it is pertinent to point out that in spite of these guidelines; misappropriation of Government money has taken place while settling RECS. Lack of segregation of duties is the primary cause of ‘Fraud’ in a system. This office reviewed the guidelines issued by the CTA periodically and it is understood that there is no clear mention of the responsibilities at the individual designation level, in the guidelines, resulting in lack of segregation of duties. Recommendation: A few more controls describing individual job responsibilities while processing RECS would help in proper compliance of the guidelines and also prevent the recurrence of misappropriation to a large extent. The existing guidelines in settling RECS and recommendations by this office are given below: Steps involved in Relevant provisions of Existing AG’s Recommendations settlement of Return Guidelines for process improvement ECS 1 ECS uncredited to the  RECS items to be included in beneficiary at Bank the Bank scroll CTA Lr.

 A separate register for watching settlement of RECS items should be maintained which should be authenticated by the PAO/TO/ATO as and when a payment is made.

3.15 Operation of Unauthorised heads

In spite of the instructions issued by Government in the letter no 49672/BG-II/20019 dated 09/09/2009 that “Necessary instructions have been issued to concerned sections in Finance Department not to make any provision under detailed/ sub-detailed head viz., 77-Deduct- Recoveries 02- Recoveries of over-payments /Remittance of Excess drawal and 77- Deduct- Recoveries-03, Other Recoveries, in the succeeding financial years” relating to recoveries of overpayments done during the current year, on verification of the data for the month of November 2019, in the following 6 Districts, it is seen that expenditure has been incurred without budget provision, which include the detailed head ‘77-Deduct Recoveries’.

Sl. Name of the Total items Items booked without Items booked under ‘77 No Treasury booked budget provision Deduct recoveries’ 1 Tuticorin 49823 1032 262 2 Tiruvarur 36538 398 162 3 Thanjavur 70909 719 331 4 Nagapattinam 39269 580 306 5 Karur 25305 236 107 6 Ariyalur 22364 264 174

Further, as per G.O.Ms.No.72 Finance (LOC) Department dated 29.02.2016, the Letter of Credit (LOC) system was discontinued and the operation of the Major Head 8782 was stopped in the Treasuries forthwith.

However, during the year 2019-20, there were instances of operating the head 8782 as given below. The issue was taken up with the CTA, Chennai and the concerned treasuries. Subsequently, Vellore and Coimbatore have proposed Alteration Memorandum (AM) for the amounts booked. However, there are balances still lying under 8782 in other Treasuries.

Recommendation: Office of the Commissioner of Treasuries may disable the unauthorised Heads of Account, to avoid operation of these heads.

3.16 Other Miscellaneous Observations a. Payments made to Contractors from the Saving Bank A/C of the DDOs

In GO Ms No 72 dated 29/02/2016 vide annexure Para c (1) the Government directs that the existing letter of credit system for Public Works (PWD-Buildings/WRD), Highways, Forests Department, Technical Education and Fisheries Department etc. shall be discontinued and all transactions of the above department shall be made only by presenting bills in concerned Pay and Accounts Office/District Treasury/ Sub Treasury under Electronic Clearance System to the contractors with effect from 01/04/2016. However, while checking the details of payments made at some of the District Treasuries listed in Annexure 40, it was seen that payments had been made through cheques in favour of drawing officer noted in the Annexure instead of making direct payments to the contractors/firms concerned. Payments to the contractors for work done had been made

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 38

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 subsequently from the saving Bank account of the DDO (instead of ECS made through Treasury). This defeats the very purpose of withdrawal of Letter of Credit Facility by the Government. It was observed that this kind of drawal of funds is resorted to avoid lapse of funds and is against the stipulated conditions as stated in the above G.O. b. Interest realised from SB Account not remitted into Government Account At the time of introduction of Electronic Clearing System for making payment of salary to Government employees, the DDOs are requested to open a saving Bank Account to credit the non-statutory deductions effected from the pay bill. However in Thiruvallur, Tiruvannamali and Theni Treasuries, it has been found that the interest realised from Savings Bank Account totalling to Rs.40378/- has not been remitted to Government Account. c. Non exchange of Duplicate keys

As per Instruction 5(i) of TR 11 read with Note under Instruction 20 of TR 11, duplicate keys deposited for safe custody should be taken back, examined and exchanged with original keys once in two years or whenever there is a change in the incumbency whichever is earlier. But it is seen from the Register of Locks and Keys of the following units, that the keys were not exchanged. 1. District Treasury Tiruppur 2. Sub Treasury Gummdipoondi 3. Sub Treasury Papanasam 4. Sub Treasury Peravurani 5. Sub Treasury Vilathikulam d. Incorrect payment of Kit Maintenance allowance

(i) As per GO. Ms. No.1857 Home (Pol.1A) Department dated 09/10/18 based on 7th pay commission, Dress allowance of Rs 20,000/- per annum has been sanctioned to all IPS officers with effect from 7/18, in lieu of Kit maintenance allowance of Rs.700/- p.m. While verifying the pay bill registers of 41-C officers in Tiruvallur Treasury, it was ascertained that the treasury had admitted an amount of Rs.700/- p.m. to Tmt. R. Ponni, IPS under the head ‘Kit maintenance Allowance’ from 8/18 to 6/19. An amount of Rs.20,000/- was also paid to the said individual under the head dress allowance in Token No.14222 dated 16.11.18. The copy of authorisation issued by the Accountant General (A&E) addressed to the Treasury Officer for making payment of Rs.20,000/- was not readily made available to the inspection party for verification. In view of the GO cited above the incorrect

Office of the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu, Chennai Page 39

Annual Review Report of working of Treasuries 2019-20 payments made under the Head Kit maintenance Allowance wef 7/18 to 6/19 is incorrect. Hence, the excess payments made Rs.700/- X 12 Months = Rs.8400/- has to be recovered, under intimation to the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu. A revised Last Pay Certificate also needs to be issued to the new treasury circle by withdrawing the Kit maintenance allowance, as the individual has been transferred from this Treasury.

(ii) Similarly, on scrutiny of records in Ariyalur Treasury, it was seen that the Accountant General (A&E) had issued orders to the Treasury Officer for making payment of Rs.20,000/- towards dress allowance in respect of Dr. Abhinav Kumar, IPS vide GADI/VII/2018- 19/IPS/1200027 Dt. 20/11/2018. The payment was admitted and paid in T. No. 11926 dt 21/01/19. The Accountant General in the orders had also stated that while making the payment of dress allowances the Treasury Officer shall recover an amount Rs.700/- pm which was already paid to the individual under the head Kit maintenance allowance wef 07/18, but the bill was admitted by the treasury without recovering the amount Rs.2,800/- ( from 07/18 to 10/18). The officer has been transferred to another station in 11/18 itself. Hence the Treasury Officer has to take necessary action to recover the amount from the individual and make good to the government under intimation to the Accountant General (A&E), Tamil Nadu. e. Incorrect classifications occurred in Treasury Accounts: i) Suspense heads: During the Inspection at 13 Treasuries, it was noticed that receipts and payments were not classified under correct heads of account. The correct head of classification for each item and wrong head under which it was classified are furnished in Annexure 41. ii) Other State Pension

Instructions were issued by the Accountant General (A&E) Tamil Nadu in letter No.AC/III/19-20/16204 dated 04.06.2019 regarding head of Account, under which the expenditure on other Govt. pensions to be booked. While checking Sub Account 27B for the month of 12/2019, it was noticed that the payments made on behalf the states noted in the Annexure 42, were wrongly booked under the heads noted against each item. The correct classification of expenditure is also furnished to take remedial action for the past cases and to book the expenditure under correct head of account in future.
