Q. WHAT IS THE SETTLMENT OF ACCOUNTS WITH TREASURIES? Ans:- As soon after the expiry of the month as possible, a monthly settlement should be effected with all treasuries in respect of the transactions of the entire division with them. 507. For payments into treasuries, consolidated receipts should be prepared in form 50 for the whole of the remittances made to each treasury, and sent to the Treasury Officers for signature. 508. For cheques drawn, the pass books, dully completed for the month, should be obtained from the Treasury Officers with the certificates of issues from treasuries (which are prepared in the form reproduced below), and their agreement with the cash books of the division should be effected in part II of Form 51. Schedule of Monthly settlement with Treasuries, which also gives details of the differences. I hereby certify that the total issues made from this treasury on cheques drawn against the Account of Mr.---------------officer in charge, Division ,during 19 amounted to Rs._____________________ (in words). The certificate of agreement should be recorded in the pass book over the signature of the Divisional Officer without recording any details of the uncashed cheques or other differences. Note.1:The pass book or list of cheques cashed is written up in Form T.R.51. It should remain in the in the divisional office as an account record of the office and should be sent to the treasury periodically on fixed dates (at weekly intervals in the case of the treasury at the divisional headquarters) to be written up. The identity and the amounts of the cheque entered as cashed should be examined at the earliest opportunity, the pass book being initialed and dated by the Divisional Accountant in token of the check. Note.2:Form 51 is required for submission to audit in original, vide paragraph 523, The office copy of the details recorded in it should be maintained in the cash book of the divisional office, the entries being made, ov er the signature of Divisional Officer, just after the closing entries of the month referred to in paragraph 78. Note.3:If the Divisional Officer is placed in account with any treasuries which are in account with an Accountant General other than his own, or with a military treasure chest a separate schedule of Monthly settlement with Treasuries Form 51, should be prepared n respect of the treasuries of each circle of account. 52. Without making previous arrangements through the Accountant General, no officer is authorized to draw cheques on a treasury situated outside the limits of the province, even though his own jurisdiction may extend beyond those limits. 53. When for the convenience of work, it is necessary that the Divisional Officer or any of his subordinate disbursing officers should be authorized, either occasionally or as a standing arrangement, to draw cheques on a treasury situated outside the limits of the division, the Divisional Officer should approach the Accountant General through the Superintending Engineer for necessary sanction. Similarly, the Divisional Officer may if necessary, specially authorize any of his sub divisional Officers to draw cheques on treasuries situated outside the jurisdiction of the latter but within the limits of the division. Q. Can a class IV servants be deputed for fetch or carry money ? Ans:- The employment of class IV servants to fetch or carry money should be discouraged.

When it is absolutely necessary to employ a class IV servant for this purpose, a man of some length of service and proved trustworthiness should only be selected and in all cases, when the amount to be handled in large one or more guards should be sent to accompany the messenger. Para 54 of cpwa.code. Q. Limits on Subdivisional Officers, Drawings. Ans:- If the Divisional Officer considers it necessary, for the maintenance of efficient control over the disbursements of his division, to set a monthly limit on the drawings of any of his sub divisional officers, he may do so, fixing either a standing limit or a fresh limit either every month or whenever necessary. All such limits may be raised or lowered subsequently. Intimation of every limit when fixed or changed should be sent both to the Sub-divisional Officer and to the Treasury Officers concerned. At places where the cash business of the Treasury is conducted by the Bank, intimation should be sent direct to the Bank without the intervention of the Treasury Officer. Para 55 of cpwa. Code. 63. When money is received by a Government Officer on behalf of Government, it should at once be brought to account in the Cash Book and a receipt in Form 3 should invariably be granted to the payer. As an exception to this rule, earnest money in legal tender notes attached to tenders and returned to the contractors whose tenders are rejected one the same day as the tenders are opened by the Divisional Officer need not pass through the divisional accounts provided that the contractors concerned give a stamped receipt for the money in the Register of Tenders maintained in the Divisional Office and that the Register is to that extent treated as a subsidiary cash book and consequently as an accounts form. Earnest money which is received prior to the date fixed for opening the tenders, or which for any reason cannot be refunded on that date should be brought to account in the cash book and returned subsequently to the contractors under the ordinary rules. Para 63 of cpwa.code. If a government officer who is not in charge of a cash book receives money on behalf of Government at exceptional times, he should not mix it up with the imprest of any other cash in his charge, but pay or remit it, at the earliest opportunity, to the nearest officer having a cash book or direct into a treasury, accompanied by a chalan in duplicate (vide Rules 92 et seq., of the Treasury Rules, Volume 1.) para 65 of cpwa. Code. A Divisional Officer or Subdivisional Officer, if require to make use of cash receipts temporarily for current expenditure, he may do so instead of obtaining fresh cash by cheques; but before the end of the month, he must send to the treasury a cheque for the amount thus utilized, drawn in his own favour and endorsed by himself with the words Receive payment by transfer credit to the Public Works Department. Para 66 of cpwa.code. It is permissible to make payments to suppliers of stores by obtaining state Bank drafts in accordance with rules 748 of the Treasry Rules, Volume 1. Remittances for such purposes of amounts less than Rs.25, for which State Bank drafts cannot be issued, may be made by postal money order at the public expense. Para 68 of cpwa. Code. 69. As a rule, no cheque should be drawn until it is intended to be paid away . Note:- It is a serious irregularity to draw cheques and deposits them in the cash chest at the

close of the year for the purpose of showing the full amount of grant as utilized. Para of cpwa.code. Payment due to contractors may, if so desired by them, be made to their banks instead of direct to contractors provided that the Department obtains an authorization from the contractor in the form of a power of attorney conferring authority on the bank of receive payment, and the contractors own acceptance of the correctness . para 70 of cpwa.code. Every Voucher must bear a pay order signed or initialed, and dated, by the responsible disbursing officer. This order should specify the amount payable both in words and figures. All pay orders must be signed by hand and in ink. Para 73 of cpwa.code Q. How the cash book is balancing ? Ans:- The cash book must be balanced on the date prescribed for closing the cash accounts of the month. but when the transactions are numerous, A weekly or daily balance is recommended, and it is advisable that the cash be counted whenever a balance is struck, or at convenient intervals, as this affords an independent check on the accuracy of the postings. The results of such intermediate counting should be recorded in the form of a note (specifying the actual cash and also the outstanding balances of imprests and temporary advances) in the body of the cash book (Column 8), so as not to interfere with the up to date totals; the actual balance of cash in the chest should invariably be stated in the note both in words and figures. The cash balances at end of the month should be detailed thus in a note at foot on the cash book. Rs Cash in Chest 7.56 Impreset with Mr.R.Johnson 100.00 Temporary 50.00 Total Cash balance as above. 157.56 Rupees one hundred fifty seven and fifty six paisa. Q. what type of custdy of cash is requirered ? Ans:- Public money in the custody of the department should be kept in strong treasure chests by secured two lock of different patterns. The chest should never be opened unless both the custodians of the keys are present. When there is a guard should usually be the custodian of one set of keys and he must always be present when the chest is opened and until it is again locked. the keys of one lock should be kept apart from the keys of the other lock, and in a different persons custody when practicable. CHEPTER 6, WORKS AND WORKS ACCOUNTS

Q. What is the Classification of operations of the department :Ans:- The operations of the department are divided primarily into two categories, original works and repairs, the first including new works, alterations additions and purchases, the second repairs and maintenance.

all work necessary to bring into use newly purchased or previously abandoned buildings falls in the first category. Note. 1:- When a portion of an existing structure is to be dismantled and replaced, if the cost of such replacement represents a genuine increase in the permanent value of the property as an asset, the work should be classed as original work, the cost (which should be estimated if not known) of the portion replaced being, credited to the estimate for original work and debited to repairs In all other cases, the whole cost of the new work should be charged to repairs. Note.2:- The capital value of any portion of a building which is ```abandoned or dismantled without replacement should be written off the total capital value of the building as recorded in the books. TYPES OF WORK A. ORIGINAL WORKS :-

Original works include all new constructions whether of entirely new works or of additions and alternations to existing works, also all repairs to newly purchased or previously abandoned buildings required for bringing them into use. i) ADP/PSDP : Originally ADP/PSDP work of the Government are being executed out of the budgetary grant classified under demand No.175 - Capital Outlay. Deposit Work : ii) Original works are also executed on deposit basis received an advance from other departments, autonomous bodies, corporations or municipality etc. B. REPAIR & MAINTENANCE :-

Repair include primary operations undertaken to maintain in proper condition buildings and works in ordinary use. i) Civil Works Portion : Repair of the Government owned buildings whether official or residential are being executed out of the budgetary grant received for maintenance under demand No. 60 Civil Works Portion. ii) Repair under Deposit : Repair work also executed on deposit basis received in advance from other departments, autonomous bodies, corporations or municipality etc. Note ( When a portion of an existing structure is to be dismantled and replaced, if the cost of such replacement represents a genuine increase in the permanent value of the property as an asset, the work should be classed as original work, the cost (which should be estimated, if not known) in the portion replaced being credited to the estimate for Original Work and debited to repairs. In all other cases, the whole cost of the new work should be charged to repairs.

C.

PURCHASE OF PHYSICAL ASSETS :-

Ordinary physical assets which are required for the general use of the Division are charged to the Minor Head Tools & Plants. Special physical assets those required for the general purpose but for a specific work are born by the work concerned. In both the cases cost is charged in the accounts against sanctioned estimates in the same way as expenditure on works, though for the purpose of sanction it is treated as expenditure on respective physical assets e.g. machinery & equipment / furniture & fixture. D. REPAIR & MAINTENANCE OF PHYSICAL ASSETS :-

Repair and maintenance are being made from the Maintenance Grant under the Minor object A131 (Machinery & Equipment), A-132 (Furniture & Fixture) R&M TRANSACTIONS OF PUBLIC WORKS CAN BE GROUPED :The transactions of Public Works Officers may thus be grouped under the heads as under :I. Expenditure Heads Officers. ( for charges adjustable finally in the accounts of Divisional for revenue receipts creditable finally to Government in the

II. Revenue Heads ( accounts of Divisional Officers.

III. Remittance Heads ( Receipts as well as payments ; for cash, stores or other values received from, or paid to or no behalf of, other divisions, departments or Governments. IV. Debt Heads ( for certain receipts and payments held in suspense pending clearance by payment or recovery (as the case may be) in cash or otherwise. The suspense accounts for transactions of this group, are treated either as heads subordinate to the expenditure heads or as independent heads of account, or as sub-heads in the accounts of works. The transactions under each of these groups are further sub divided for the purpose of accounts :In case of Expenditure & Revenue Heads : The main units of classification is known as major head further divided in minor head and each of which has a number of sub ordinate heads know as a detail heads as illustrated below :A Expenditure

Major object : A01 Employ related expenditure. Minor object : A011 Pay. Detailed object : A01101 Basic Pay. A01102 Personnel Pay. A01103 Special Pay.

Q.What is the Rules to be observed before the execution of Works ? Ans:- PLANNING AND PROCESS OF A WORK 1. Preparation & Approval of PC-I : Working Paper prepared by the project appraision and evaluation sanction of the planning commission containing economic analysis. These are evaluate with the sponsoring authorities. The following points are to be considered while preparing the PC-I :Name of the project, location, authority responsible for sponsoring, execution, operation and maintenance and concerned federal Ministry. Plan provision, project objectives and its relationship with sector objectives. Description, justification, technical parameters and technology of transfer aspects enclose feasibility study for projects costing Rupees three hundred Million and above. Capital cost estimate, annual operating and maintenance cost after completion of the project, Demand and Supply analysis, Financing and mode of Financing. Projects benefits and analysis, financial, economic, social benefits with indicators, employment generation (direct and indirect) and impact of delays on project cost. Implementation schedule and management structure and manpower requirements including specialization skill during construction and operation phases. Additional project / decision required to maximize socio economic benefits from the proposed project. Important points to be remembered :For project exceeding three hundred million the feasibility study report in PC-II form is required to be prepared. For projects below 300 million Rs. Cost No need to prepare PC-II. PC-III is for monitoring report. Planning Commission proforma 1, 2, 3 & 4. Administrative approval is issued after approval of PC-I. Expenditure sanctioned and arrangements of funds. Technical Sanction. Tendering process.

Finally a certificate is being issued as certified that the project proposal had been prepared on the basis of construction provided by the Planning Commission for the preparation of PC-I for infrastructure sector project. 2. Administrative Approval :

For every work (excluding petty works and repair) it is necessary to obtain in the first instance the concurrence of the competent authority of the administrative department requiring the work. The formal acceptance of the proposals by that authority is termed Administrative Approval. It is the duty of the local officer of the department requiring the work to obtain the requisite approval to it. An approximate estimate and such preliminary plans as are necessary to elucidate the proposals should be obtained from the Public Works Department and subject to any order which the minor local Government may prescribe, the Divisional Officer may be required to provide these on the requisition of the head of the department concerned or of such officer as is competent to accord administrative approval to the work. Note :In the case of work required not for a particular department but in the interest of the general public e.g. communication and irrigation work no formal administrative approval is required but minor local Governments should lay down such rules as may be necessary to ensure the submission and scrutiny of preliminary designs and estimates before the detailed estimate is prepared for the purpose of technical sanction POWER OF AUTHORITIES TO ACCORD ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAAND EXPENDITURE SANCTION . (a). ECNEC :- All works /project above 500 million . (b). CDWP:- All works /project upto 500 million . (c) . DDWP:- All works / project upto 60 million .

When the expenditure upon a work exceeds, or is found likely to exceed, the amount administratively approved/expenditure sanction for it by more than 15 percent, a revised administrative approval /Eendeture Sanction must be obtained from the authority competent to approve the cost, as so enhanced. 3. Expenditure Sanction :

Expenditure sanction means the concurrence of the Government of Pakistan in the expenditure proposed in case where this is necessary under rule (2) b in the Book of financial power can be given only by the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Pakistan. Application for such sanction should be made to the Government of Pakistan in the administrative Ministry

concerned. In all other cases the act of appropriation or reapproation of funds will operate as a sanction to the expenditure concerned the duty of expenditure sanctioned where necessary, rest with the department requiring the work. Modification in Expenditure Sanction : When the expenditure upon a work exceeds, or is found likely to exceed, the amount administratively approved/expenditure sanction for it by more than 15 percent, a revised administrative approval /Eendeture Sanction must be obtained from the authority competent to approve the cost, as so enhanced. 4. Detail Estimate & Technical Sanction :

The papers to be submitted with the project for a work will, in general, consist of a report, plans, a specification and a detailed statement of measurements, quantities and rates, with an abstract showing the total estimated cost of each item. These documents together form what is called the estimate. In addition to the provision for al expenditure which can be foreseen, 5 per cent should be added to the estimate to cover the cost of unforeseen contingencies. The authority granted by a sanction to an estimate must on all occasions be looked upon strictly limited by the precise objects for which the estimate was intended to provide. Saving due to the abandonment of a substantial section of project are not be considered as available for work on other sections. Technical Sanction :Technical Sanction is the order of the competent authority sanctioning a properly detailed estimate of cost of a work of construction or repair proposed to be carried out in Public Works Department. Ordinarily, such sanction can only be accorded by Government. Ministry of Health and Works or by such authorities of the Ministry of whom the power has been delegated by Government. Sanction accorded to a work by any other department of Government is regarded merely as an administrative approval of the work. The following officers are empowered to accord technical sanction to detailed estimates or works subject to the limits stated below which are exclusive of charges for establishment and tools and plant:Rs. ChiefEngineer ,Pak.P.W.D Full Powers. Superintending Engineers. 3000000 Divisional Officers ,Pakistan Public Works Division.

500000

Irrigation Officer Baluchistan. 10000 Resident Engineer Gilgit Public Works Sub Division. 20000 Excesses over technical sanction. A revised estimate must be prepared when the sanctioned estimate is likely to be exceeded by more than 15 percent, except in the cases provided for in note I to 71 and in paragraph 72. The powers of officers of the Public Works Department to accord technical sanction to revised estimates are the same as their powers to accord original sanctions. 71. An officer of the Public Works Department may pass excesses over estimates provided that the excess is not more than 5 per cent. Of the mount sanctioned and does not exceed the amount up to which he is entitled to accord sanction to an original estimate. Note.1:As an exception to this rule, any officer named in paragraph 68 above may pass excess expenditure within a limit of Rs.100 on sanctioned original works and repairs, irrespective of the total amount of the sanctioned estimate. Note.2:No officer of the Public Works Department is entitled to pass any excess over a revised estimate sanctioned by a higher authority than himself. The Divisional Officer may sanction a revised estimate for it, even though the amount of such revised estimate may exceed that to which he is ordinarily empowered to accord sanction. 84. Savings due to the abandonment of a substantial section of any project are not be considered as available for work on other sections. 85. Without the sanction of the Superintending Engineer, ascertained savings may not be diverted from one section of a project to another, nor may the provision for contingencies be diverted to any new work or repair which is not provided for in the estimate, and of which the cost exceeds Rs.2500, or such smaller sum as may be fixed by the minor local Government. Preliminary operations. 86. When land is required for public purposes the officer of the Public Works Department should, in the first instance, consult the Chief Revenue Officer of the district, and obtain from him the fullest possible information as to the probable cost of the land, together with the value of buildings, etc, 5. Appropriation :-

Appropriation is the allotment of a particular sum of money to meet expenditure on a specified object. An appropriation is intended to cover all the charges, including the liabilities of past

years, to be paid during the year or to be adjusted in the accounts of it. It is operative until the close of the final year. Any unspent balance lapses. Funds are being released against the appropriation on the basis of approved cash plan quarterly or as per progress of the work. 6. Re-appropriation :-

Re-appropriation means the transfer of funds from one unit of appropriation to another such unit. Rules to be observed during construction. -General. 92. No religious edifice should be destroyed or injured in the execution of works without the full and free consent of the persons interested in it, nor without the concurrence of the principal civil or political authority on the spot, except under the orders of the minor local Government within whole jurisdiction the edifice stands. 93. Serious accidents should be reported to the Superintending Engineer (see paragraph 47) and also at the discretion of the Divisional Officer to the minor local Government direct. Divisional Officers and other officers or subordinates in charge of works should furnish immediate information to the proper civil authorities on the occasion of every serious accident, and, in the case of death on the spot, they should not allow the body to be removed till an inquiry has been held. Supplementary estimates. 96 Any development of a project thought necessary while a work is in progress, which is not fairly contingent on the proper execution of the work as first sanctioned, must be covered by a supplementary estimate accompanied by a full report of the circumstances which render it necessary. The abstract must show the amount of the original estimate and the total of the sanction required including the supplementary amount. Revised estimates. 97. When any excess over a sanctioned estimate is foreseen, and there is likely to be unavoidable delay in the preparation of a revised estimate, an immediate report of the circumstances should be made to the authority whose sanction will ultimately be required. When a revised estimate is submitted, it must be accompanied by a statement comparing it with the latest existing sanction of competent authority and by a report showing the progress made to date. Procedure on completion of a work. 99. (a) A consolidated completion statement in Central Public Works Account Form No.45 should be prepared monthly of all completed works other than those referred to in sub paragraph (b), the actual expenditure on which is in excess of the sanctioned estimate by an amount greater than that which the Divisional Officer is empowered to pass. This statement should shown for each work or group of works the estimated amount, the outlay and the excess. b) A detailed completion report in Central Public Works Account For No.44 need only be prepared in respect of works on which the outlay has been recorded by sub heads. SPECIAL RULES FOR PETTY WORKS. 101. The following procedure will be adopted in the case of new petty works and repairs, the

cost of which is not likely to exceed Rs.2500:-. I If any work, other than ordinary repairs, is required by an officer of a department other than the Public Works Department a requisition for it will be made in Central Public Works Account Form, No.32 by the local head of the department In respect of works of other classes, the officer of the Public Works Department proposing the work will fill in the form. The Division officer, or an assistant or subordinate empowered by him to act in such cases, will record on the requisition his opinion as to what work should be done and give on the face of the requisition a rough estimate, in lump sums or otherwise, of the probable cost of each item. The Divisional officer having sanctioned this estimate, the work will be put in hand at once without the preparation of a detailed estimate, subject to the appropriation of funds and, in the case of works initiated by the local head of a civil department, to acceptance by the latter of the estimate as sanctioned. SPECIAL RULES REGARDING REPAIRS. 102. Minor local Government are competent to determine for what works, portions of works or groups of works separate repair estimate must be prepared. In the absence of such orders, a separate estimate is required for each work. 103. Minor local Governments are empowered to fix the month which is to be considered as the last month of the working year for the purpose of the annual maintenance estimate. The sanction to an ordinary repair estimate lapses on the last day of the year fixed by the minor local Government. 104. Each ordinary repair estimate should include the whole expenditure (including municipal and other taxes, if any, payable by Government) which it is anticipated will be incurred during the working year on the maintenance of the work concerned. If, however, inconvenience would arise in any exceptional case from the stoppage of the work on the fixed date, the repairs may be carried to completion, the expenditure after that date being treated as expenditure against a fresh repair estimate for the next working year. 105. Estimates for special repairs remain current till the completion of the repairs in the same manner as estimates for original works. 106. In the case of any building, the cost (excluding municipal taxes) of the ordinary annual repairs to which is less than Rs.2500, the Superintending Engineer may prescribe, subject to revision from time to time, a lump sum limited to Rs.2500 (plus the amount of the municipal or other taxes, if any, payable by Government) for any one building, to cover the cost of maintenance, and within this amount expenditure will be permissible without any detailed estimate being prepared. 107. In cases of urgency, the Superintending Engineer may authorize the commencement of periodical repairs in anticipation of formal sanction to the estimate; but in such cases an approximate sum must be fixed, to the expenditure of which sanction is provisionally given, and the Divisional Officer will be responsible that the regular estimate is submitted at the earliest possible date. WORKS ACCONTS. 197. The initial records upon which the accounts of works are based are-. The Muster roll. a)

For work done by daily labour, the subordinate in charge of the work will prepare a muster roll which will shown the work done by this means and the amount payable on this account. From the muster rolls the subordinate will prepare the labour reports (see paragraph 94 of the Central Public Works Department Code). b) The Measurement book. For piece work and for contract work generally, the measurement book will form the basis of account.from the measurement book he will check (or, if so arranged, prepare) the bills and accounts of contractors and suppliers. 198. Initial accounts and vouchers connected with charges relating to works must invariably specify. 1) The full name of the work as given in the estimate, 2) The name of the component part (or sub head) of it, if separate accounts are kept up for the several component parts, and 3) The charges (if any) which are of the nature of recoverable payments and the names of the contractors or others from whom recoverable. In the case of recoverable charges, it should be seen particularly that the contractors or others on whose behalf the charges are incurred do not get the benefit of any concession to which they would not be entitled if they had themselves incurred the charges. 199. (a) Expenditure on the construction or maintenance of a work may be divided into two classes, viz, (1) Cash and(2) stock charges, as explained in chapters VI and VII, these charges are recorded in the cash and stock accounts respectively. b) In addition to the charges falling under the main classes, there are other transactions affecting the cost of a work. For example, there may be charges incurred in other division, departments or Governments, materials received from them or services rendered by them, or there may be cash receipts are taken in reduction of expenditure in accordance with the rules. c) All these transactions pass into the general accounts of the division in the manner described in Chapter XXII and are then incorporated in the general accounts of Government. however, the units of classification adopted in the general accounts in respect of expenditure are certain heads of account and not individual estimates for works or contract accounts it is necessary to maintain separate accounts in sub divisional and divisional offices for recording (1) the cost of individual works and (2) the transactions of individual contractors. These are known as works Accounts. 200. Although the primary object of the accounts of work is to exhibit simply, but accurately, the actual cost of work done, the rules frequently require the upkeep of separate accounts for the several component parts of a work which are not required to attain this object. There are two main reasons for this. In the first place it is often desirable to have details which will satisfy the need for statistical information and for analysis of the comparative cost of various classes of work, of types of buildings, etc. the more important reason, however is that in the case of large works, especially if the period of construction is a prolonged one, it would not be possible for the Divisional Officer to exercise efficient financial control over the recorded transactions of the cost of a work if only the total cost were knowledge of the executive arrangements for the execution of a work, and of the actual progress of work, may be supplemented by a comparison, monthly, of the cost as recorded in the accounts with the value received in the shape of work

done. This monthly comparison is obviously impossible unless the total cost is split up into convenient parts in such a way that as far as possible the cost of each distinct part may be compared with the work done thereon. 201. In recording the cost of an individual work in the accounts no attempt is made to include therein any charge on account of general services. Like establishment and tools and plant. The entries cost whereof is adjusted in the general accounts under the presc5ribed heads of classification. But if any service connected with the working estimate for a work is rendered by another division, department or Government and the claim made by it includes an authorized charge on account of such general services, such charge may be accepted and adjusted in the accounts of the work as part of the cost of the work in the same way as if the service had been rendered by a contractor. Note.1:When the cost of special tools and plant is included in the cost of a work under paragraph 142, the rules in chapter VII regarding numerical lists or returns will apply mutatis mutandis and adjustments on account of the cost of tools and plant transferred to other works, division, departments or Governments will be governed by the rules in paragraph 157. Note.2:The cost of special establishment employed on the acquisition of land when chargeable to the accounts of the works concerned under paragraph 431 should be treated as a part of the works expenditure. 202. Primarily the Divisional Officer is the responsible disbursing officer of the division. He may authorize a Sub Divisional officer to make payments chargeable against the general sanctions of competent authority to expenditure on works. B --- CASH PAYMENTS. 203. Cash charges on works consist of payments (1) to labourers and members of the work charged establishment, of their wages and (2) to contractors and others for work done or other services rendered. The cost of materials, procured specially for works is charged to the accounts of works by transfer credit to the Purchases account, but payments to suppliers are governed by the same rules as payments to contractors for work done. The general rules relating to cash payments and vouchers in paragraphs 67 to 74 apply to all these classes of payments. Only special rules are, therefore, set forth in this chapter. II --- PAYMENTS TO DEPARTMENTAL LABOUR. MUSTER ROLL 1. Muster roll is a sheet or form on which record of attendance wages calculations and payment of wages of daily labour engaged for a work is called Muster Roll. 2. All persons engaged departmentally for the execution of works are considered as a day labours and their wages should be drawn on muster rolls form 21 and charged to the estimate of works on which they are employed except :a) Permanent and temporary employees of the Division whose pay is charged to the head Establishment. b) Member of the work charged establishment as defined in paragraph 10 & 12 of CPWA code.

Discrepancies between labour reports and muster roll should be investigated as soon as the latter are received 3. One or more muster rolls are kept for each work but muster rolls should never be prepared in duplicate. 4. Labour are paid more than once a month and the period covered by each payment is determined locally but separate rolls must b e prepared for each period of payment. 5. The daily attendance and absence of labours and the fines infracted on item are recorded daily in part-I of the muster roll. 6. Un-paid wages are recorded in part-II while part-III contains the progress of work done. 7. The paid wages are recorded in the columns provided for the purpose over acknowledgement of the payees and are properly stampted where necessary. Para 204 & 205 of CPWA Code Q. Fill in the blanks. There are _______________ initial records upon which accounts of work are baed (two, three) Payment to daily labourers is made through _______________. (works register, muster roll)

For contract work, the _______________ will form the basis of account. (cash book, measurement book)

One or more muster rolls are kept for each _______________. (work, contract)

The daily attendance and absence of labourers should be recorded in ________________ of the muster roll. (part-I, part-III) ________________ wages of labourers are recorded in Part-II of the muster roll.

(unpaid, daily) Part-III of the muster roll is meant for the ________________ of work. (progress, closing) All persons engaged departmentally for the execution of works are considered as day ______________________. (establishment, labourers) Muster roll should never be prepared in __________________. (duplicate, triplicate)

Labourers may be paid more than once a ___________________. (week, month) Q. Can Labour be arranged/engaged through a Contractor ? Ans:- The payment of daily labour through a contractor, instead of by muster roll in the usual way, is objectionable in principle.

Full rates as per agreement should be allowed only if the quality of work done or supplies made is up to the stipulated specification. When the work or supplies fall short of that standard, a fraction of the full rate should be allowed . 221. Before signing the bill, the sub divisional officer should compare the quantities in the bill with those recorded in the measurement book and see that all the rates are correctly entered and that all calculations have been checked arithmetically, when the bill is on a running account, it should be compared with the previous bill. Memorandum of payments should then be made up any recoveries which should be made on account of the work or supply or on other accounts, being shown therein.

Final payments may, however in no case be made without detailed measurements. [Para 299 C.P.W.A.C.] 225. (a) If the system of making advance payments to contractors for work has been adopted certificate 2 printed on Running Account Bill A or B, as the case may be, must be signed

TEMPORARY AND WORK-CHARGED ESTABLISHMENT.

There are two types of Establishment :i) ii) Work Charge Establishment. Temporary Establishment.

WORK CHARGE ESTABLISHMENT a) Permanent work charge establishment are appointed for the repair / maintenance of the Government Buildings etc. They are enjoying all benefits such as pay & allowances, pensions, medical facilities etc as entitled to regular establishment under the head Civil Works (works portion). includes all such non-permanent establishment, for the general purposes or general supervision,of a division/ sub-division, in respect of the entertainment of temporary establishment generally. That case provision for the purpose should be exists in the budget. b) Temporary work charge establishment are required in a project or work in progress and there services will be terminated on completion of the project and no other benefits are allowed as in the case of maintenance work charge staff. shall includes such establishment as is employed upon the actual execution, of works/ projects, upon the subordinate supervision of departmental labour, stores and machinery in connection with such a work or the temporary establishment are employed on work of this nature, their pay should, be charged direct to the work. The cost should be shown as a separate sub-head of the estimate for that work. The engagement of work charged establishment is subject to the rules laid down by the GovernorGeneral Members of the temporary and work charged establishments, who are engaged locally, are on the footing of monthly servants. If they are engaged for a specific work, their engagement lasts only for the period during which the work lasts. The terms of engagement should be clearly explained to men employed in the circumstances mentioned above. Appointing Authority:Superintending Engineers and Divisional Officers may, subject to limits of pay upto BPS-8 and BPS-5, respectively, for each post, and to any general or special restrictions which the minor local Government or Ministry of Housing Works in case of Pak.PWD may impose, sanction the Engagement of temporary and work charged establishment subject to the conditions. Payments to Work charged Establishment:Members of the work charged establishment are not entitled to any pension, or to leave salary, or traveling or other allowances except in the following cases:a) Wound and other Extra ordinary pensions and Gratuities are in certain cases admissible in accordance with the rules in Part VI of the Civil Service Regulations.

b) Leave with full pay on Sundays and gazetted 10 days may be allowed at the discretion of the Divisional Officer. c) Actual traveling expenses may be allowed by the Divisional Officer for journeys performed (1) within the jurisdiction of his Government or to and from a district of Foreign State or settlement adjoining his division, and (2) in the interest of the work on which the men are employed. d) Grain compensation allowance is admissible under the supplementary rules to men who are drawing rates of pay which has been fixed with reference to normal circumstances. Pay Bills:- Wages of members of the work charged establishment should be drawn and paid on Form 29, pay bill of work charged Establishment , which is a combined pay bill and acquaintance roll form. Unpaid Wages. Wages remaining unpaid on a passed bill on the date fixed for the closing of the accounts of the month, may be paid subsequently when claimed, as under:a) Items remaining unpaid on the monthly bill should be entered in a simple register, full particulars of the charge, including reference to the bill, being noted in the register. b) Subsequent payments should be made on hand receipts, form 28, reference to the bill in which the charge was originally included, and to the particular item thereof, being quoted in each case. Travelling Expenses.No bills need be prepared in support of claims for traveling expenses. Payments should be made on hand receipts, form 28, which should set forth all the necessary particulars of the journey performed and of the expenses claimed and should be countersigned by the Divisional Officer prior to payment. Classification of chargesEvery payment made to a member of the work charged establishment. Whether on account of his wages or in recoupment of actual traveling expenses, should be debited o the work on which he is employed.

CHEPTER 8, ISSUE OF MATERIAL . Issues of Materials. Issues of materials to works whether from stock or by purchase, transfer or manufacture, are divided into two classes:-. 1) Issues to contractors. Issues of materials to contractors with whom agreements in respect of completed items of works, i.e. for both labour and materials, have been entered into. 2) Issues Direct to works. Issues of materials when work is done departmentally or by contractors whose agreements are for labour only.

To Contractors. General Conditions. (a) The issue of materials to contractors who have contracted for completed items of work is generally permissible only in the following circumstances:i) When, under the operation of paragraph 89 (d) (6) of the Central Public Works Department Code, it is necessary to retain in the hands of Government the supply of imported materials. ii) When, in the interest of work, or with the object of utilizing existing stocks of materials, it is desirable to retain in the hands of Government the supply of certain other materials as well, and a condition to this effect has been inserted in the contract. b) In both cases the contract should specify (1) the materials to be supplied by Government for use of the work, (2) the place or places of delivery and (3) the rates, including the storage rates when the materials are to be issued from stock, to be charged to the contractor for each description of materials; and the contractor should be held responsible for obtaining from Government all such materials required for the work and for making payment therefore, by deduction from his bills; at the rates specified, regardless of fluctuations in the market rates or in the stock rates of the division. The rates to be allowed to the contractor for items of work should be definitely stated. But, if for any special reason, the contract provides for the payments for work done to be made at a specified percentage below or above the rates entered in the sanctioned estimate of the work , it should be stated in clear terms in the contract that the deductions or additions, as the case may be, of the percentage, will be calculated on the gross, and not the net, amounts of the bills for work done, and in fixing the percentage it should be borne in mind that the calculations will be so made. No carriage or incidental charges are borne by Government for moving the materials beyond the place where the contractor has agreed to take delivery thereof. (a) As a general rule, no other materials should be supplied to such contractors for use on works, but this restriction may be waived by the sub divisional officer in respect of petty issues (at full Issue Rates) of materials from existing stocks, not exceeding Rs.50 in any month for any one contract. b) If at any time subsequent to the execution of a contract on a through rate basis, the contractor desires the issue to him, for use on a work, of materials which exist in Government stocks but the supply whereof by Government was not provided for in the contract, the materials should not be issued except with the express authority of the Divisional Officer who should specify in each case the rate to be charged for the materials inclusive of delivery at the place where they are stored. The rate charged should be the market rate prevailing at the time of the supply or the issue rate, which ever may be greater, and should include the storage charges. No carriage or incidental charges should be borne by Government in connection with the supply. Issues of stock materials to contractors for bona fide use on works are exempt from the usual charge of 10 percent on account of supervision, storage and contingencies, which is made when stock materials are sold to the public paragraph 127 of the Central Public Works Department Code). Accounts Procedure. All materials required for issue to a contractor under any of the provisions of paragraphs 238 and 239, should be made over to him, as soon as they are received, whether from stock or by purchase, manufacture or transfer, and an unstamped but dated, acknowledgement, detailing full

particulars of the materials including the rates and values chargeable to him should at once be taken from the contractor. On the authority of the contractors acknowledgement the cost recoverable from him under paragraph 238 or 239, as the case may be, should be debited at once to his personal account by charge to the suspense head Contractors Other transactions (vide paragraph 270) in the accounts of the work concerned. This adjustment should be effected by affording credit to the head concerned, as indicated below:-. Source of receipt of materials Head of Account to be credited. Value to be credited. 1) Stock (including manufacture). Stock At issue rates. 2) Transfer from another work. Work concerned. At a valuation made under paragraph 251 (d). 3) Transfer from another division. Department or Government. Purchases. At rates charged by the division, department or Government concerned. 4) Suppliers. Purchases. At rates payable to the suppliers under their contractors. 5) Obtained through the High Commissioner for Pakistan in the UK. London Stores. The English cost of stores converted in to Pakistan currency in the manner laid down in paragraph 363.

6) Charges in Pakistan on (5) Head concerned. Actual charges incurred, vide paragraphs 362 and 366. The full value credited to the head concerned should be debited to the work (paragraph 248). 243. The recovery from a contract on account of the cost of materials issued to him for use n a works should ordinarily be made by deduction from the first bill authorizing an advance payment or an on account payment to him for the work. Should, however, a lump sum recovery be undesirable in any case, the Divisional Officer may permit, for recorded reasons, the recovery to be effected gradually as the materials issued to the contractor are actually used in construction and the items of work in which the4y are used are paid for whether by an advance payment or by an on account payment. Return of Surplus Materials. Government does not undertake to take over from contractors, whether before or after the completion or determination of contractors, surplus materials which were originally procured by the contractors for themselves or were issued to them and charged to their accounts under paragraph 240. Such materials are the property of the contractors and can be taken over by Government, if required, for use on other works in progress, only by Special arrangements and at the prevailing market rates. If the materials were originally supplied by Government the price allowed to the contractor on re acquisition should not exceed the amount charged to the contractor, excluding the storage charges if any. Note:- Contractors are, however, not at liberty to remove from site of works without the written permission of the Divisional Officer materials which have been issued to them for use on a work, and a stipulation to this effect should ordinarily be entered in their agreement. Disposal of Surplus Materials. (a) Materials issued to works in excess of requirements may be transferred to stock provided that they are serviceable and cer4tain to be required. b) All surplus materials at site of works which have been completed or stopped or on which outlay has been prohibited for any considerable length of time, should, if likely to be of use on other works within a reasonable time, be transferred to works in progress or brought on to the stock account, their value being credited to the work to which they were originally issued and debited to the work to which they are transferred or to the stock account, as the case may be. d) Materials returned to store or transferred to other works should be priced within current market rates, any resultant loss being borne by the work to which they were originally issued. Para 237 to 238

TRANSFER ENTRIES. Para 167 to 173 ,of cpwa. Code. Transfer entries, that is, entries intended to transfer an item of receipt or charge from the account of a work in progress or of a regular head of account to the account of another work or head, are necessary. a) In order to correct an error of classification in the original. b) In order to adjust, by debit or credit to the proper head of account (or work), an item outstanding in a suspense account or under a debt head. c) In order to bring to account certain classes of transactions which do not pass through the cash or stock account, e.g i) For credit to Purchases or London Stores, as the case may be, on account of materials received for works from sources other than stock, vide paragraphs 242 and 247. ii) For credit to P.W.Deposits on account of balances due to contractors on closed accounts, vide paragraph 277. For credit to revenue heads on account of revenue not recovered in cash. For original debits or credits to Remittance heads on transactions not appearing in cash or stock accounts, e.g. transfer of tolls and plant to another division, department to Government when the value is recoverable from them. For original debits or credits to remittance heads based on transactions not appearing in cash or stock accounts, e.g. transfer of tools and plant to another division, department or government when the value is recoverable from them. For credit to the heads concerned of the several percentages livable under the rules, e.g. those on account of supervision (when not recovered in cash), establishment, tools and plant and workshop charges, vide paragraph 127 of the Central Public Works Department Code and Appendix 5 and paragraph 384 of this Code. d) In order to respond to a remittance transaction advised by the Accountant General or direct by the division or department concerned, if the corresponding debit or credit to the remittance head has not already appeared in the accounts. In order to relieve the account of a work in progress of. Items which have ceased to be dubitable to the estimate for the work, and Suspense charges which can no longer be kept within the accounts of the work (vide paragraph 270) Such transfer entries are necessary either when the accounts of any contractor or of the work itself are to be closed, or when any recovery (otherwise than in cash) have become due, e.g. by the transfer of stores to any other work or account. For every transfer entry there must either be an authority in Form 53. Transfer Entry Order, or an order recorded on another document (e.g, Survey Report, Form 18 and Final bill of a contractors closed account placed under Public Works Deposits) which sets forth all the necessary particulars; see also paragraph 512. Note.2:- A single transfer entry may cover a number of adjustments and corrections provided that all the necessary particulars are set forth in respect of each. A transfer Entry Order may be initiated by the sub divisional officer, and should be so initiated by him in all cased falling within clauses (a) (b), (c ), and (e) of paragraph 167 which come within his cognizance. All transfer entries ordered to be made should be registered in the transfer entry book,

from 54 maintained in the divisional office, entries should be grouped, separately for each month in the accounts of which the are to be incorporated. No transfer should be made from one sub head to another in the accounts of a work except on the authority of a formal transfer entry order prepared in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this chapter and approved by the Divisional Officer.

CHEPTER 9, WORKS ABSTRACT & REGISTER OF WORKS. WORKS ABSTRACTS. An account of all the transactions relating to a work during a month whether in respect of cash, stock or other charges, should be prepared by the Sub divisional Officer, in one of the works Abstract form. For Major Estimates (major work)a separate account should be maintained for each sub head estimated to cost not less than Rs.2000, on form CPWA-33 and For Minor (Estimates) works ,form works abstract B, Form 34, should be used in which the account of the final outlay is not kept by sub heads. The estimate, account and completion certificate of petty works are ordinarily prepared on a single form, petty works requisition and Account Form 32 and separate works abstracts are not necessary. But when the accounts of the work involve transactions which cannot be suitably recorded in Part IV of Form 32 (e.g.) Advance payments, secured advances or other Transactions of contractors) the accounts should be kept on the simple form of Works Abstract, Form 34). Note.1:- Percentage charges on account of Establishment, Tools and Plant, and Accountant Audit, levied on works expenditure under Rule 4, of Appendix 5, should not be shown in works abstracts and registers of works, though they are eventually included in the cost of works, vide note 2 below paragraph 515. Preparation, Completion and Disposal of Works Abstracts. 282. The work abstract should be prepared in the sub divisional office in the first instance. It should be posted day by day from the Cah book and the connected bills of contractors and suppliers, cash refunds and readjustment of final char4ges being posted as minus entries. At the end of the month, stock and adjustment transactions should be added and in the detailed statements provided for the purpose, quantities of work executed should be posted from measurement books or other sources and the closing balances of contractors; accounts should be detailed so as to proved the correctness of the up to date totals under the suspense heads (1) Contractors Advance payment, (2) Contractors secured advances and (3) Contractors other transactions. The closing balances arrived at under the suspense head Labourers in each case, should be agreed with the connected record of unpaid wages and its correctness should be certified over the dated initials of the sub divisional officer. The works abstract should then be forwarded in original to the divisional office, were al necessary completing entries will be made in respect of the direct charges and adjustments made by the Divisional Officer and the Abstract checked and closed under the supervision of the Divisional Accountant who, should record a certificate in the following form:-. This abstract has been checked under my supervision. I have personally compared all

the items in the Details of contractors closing balances with the contractors Ledger and found them correct. Note.1:The posting of stock and adjustment transactions may, if preferred, be done entirely in the divisional office. Note.2:Postings made in the sub divisional office should be in black ink and all postings and corrections made in the divisional office in red ink. Note.3:Office copies of works abstracts need not be kept, as the originals are returned by the divisional office after completion. Before the works abstracts are sent to the divisional office, the up to date totals should be entered in advance in the returns for the following month and these should be corrected, if necessary, on receipt back of the works abstracts from the divisional office. 283 When finally completed in all respect, all the works abstracts of a month should be examined by the Divisional Officer. The monthly examination of the Works Abstracts is an important part of the duty of the Divisional Officer and must not be omitted. He must initial (and date) them in token of the performance of this duty. II(a) Classification and Record of Final Charges. Major Estimates.

260. The division of a major estimate into sub heads for the purposes of accounts is guided usually by the classification sanctioned in the abstract of the estimate. If it is intended to purchase or supply materials and to employ labour for construction separately (whether by contract or by departmental agency), the abstract of the estimate should be so framed as to show separately for each distinct item of artificers work (1) the cost and quantity of labour and (2) the cost of materials. But is this is not the case, e.g when any item of work is to be executed by contract and it is proposed to contract for the completed items of work, the abstract of the estimate may show merely the quantity and cost of each item of work. In all cases miscellaneous charges of a general nature, which do not pertain to any sub head in particular, may be treated as separate sub heads, being grouped under one or more heads, e.g. works charged establishment, contingencies etc. See paragraphs 10 and 82 of the Central Public Works Department Code. Note:When the number of sub heads of an estimate is large it will be found convenient to assign a number to each sub head and to prefix this number to the name of the sub head wherever it is used on vouchers, works abstract, registers of works of other accounts. 263. (a) The account of each sub head in the works abstract should ordinarily exhibit:-. 1) amount, i.e, total charges finally classified under the sub head, 2) progress, I,e total quantities executed from time to time, and 3) rate of cost, i.e. cost per unit on the basis of the recorded amount and progress. b) In the case, however, of sub heads which have been lumped together under paragraph 258 above, or sub heads representing items of work which cannot be expressed in quantities, no quantities are shown in the abstract of estimate and the record of progress and rate of cost in the accounts is not necessary, the entries in the amount column being sufficient. c) In other cases the Progress and rate of cost should be recorded in the accounts both during the progress of construction and on completion of work, but the monthly record thereof under any sub head may, during the progress of construction, be dispensed with in the following cases under the written orders of the Divisional Officer which should specify reasons:-.

1) If the duration of construction under the sub head is not expected to be more than three months. 2) If the quantities executed are not in the same units as those specified in the estimate or they cannot be expressed even roughly except on or towards the completion of the work. 264. When provision is made in the abstract of estimate separately for labour and materials under any sub head, the account of the cost of all materials issued to the work from stock, or by purchase, manufacture or transfer, should be kept under a single head, entitled materials, the sanctioned amount of which should be taken to be equivalent to the aggregate provision for materials in the estimate. This should be treated as a suspense head and the details of it recorded in Form 35 (vide paragraph 248), which should accompany the works abstract. The labour divisions only will thus appear in the works abstract as separate sub heads of final outlay. During the progress of the work, the expenditure recorded under those sub heads will be exclusive of the cost of materials, but on the completion of the work, the gross cost of each sanctioned sub head of work, inclusive of the cost of materials, should be placed on record by making entries in the register of works, in the manner indicated in paragraph 289. 265. When the sub heads of a work are divided into labour and materials, the rate of cost of the labour charges relating to each sub head can be watched separately and the necessary control over the expenditure on materials can be exercised through the suspense head Materials and the detailed statement in Form 35 supporting the entries under that head. It is unnecessary, therefore, for purposes of financial control over the outlay, either to record in the works abstract, month by month during the progress of construction, the outlay on the materials relating to each sanctioned sub head of the estimate or, to strike the inclusive rate of cost of the whole sub head monthly. 266. The charges classified under a final sub head should include all ordinary expenses incidental to construction. If any part of a work is pulled down and rebuilt to any serious extent, the extra charges for construction should ordinarily be debited to the ub head concerned unless they are recoverable from the contractor under the terms of his agreement. But if the amount involved be so large as to affect sensibly the cost or rate of the sub head, it may be debited to the sub head contingencies instead or with the sanction of competent authority, to a new sub head additional to the original sanctioned sub heads of the estimate. 267. In the accounts of Major Estimates a final sub head, entitled Additional Charges for Materials issued to contractors, should be opened if the system of issue of materials to contractors has been adopted, and the rates charged to the contractors therefore under paragraph 238 or 239, as the case may be, are either more or less than the actual cost to Government. This sub head should bear all losses on this account and received credit for all profits as explained in paragraph 242. Carriage and incidental charges in connection with the materials issued to the contractors, should also be debited to this head, if, under paragraph 306, they are chargeable to the work. 268. If any receipts or recoveries are credited under the rules to the account of a major estimate, a special sub head should be opened in the works abstract for the reception of all such credits. (b) Minor Estimates.

269. If the Superintending Engineer has desired the accounts of a Minor Estimate to be kept by sub heads . In the case of Minor Estimates for buildings, bridges and other structures, if the

transactions relating to the direct issue of materials, are of sufficient importance and it is desirable, with the object of exercising control thereon, to record their cost separately in the accounts, the procedure prescribed in paragraph 264 in respect of Major Estimates, may be adopted and a column opened for the suspense head Materials, in the works abstract. In all other cases the account of all final outlay on a minor estimate should be kept in a single column, headed Final charges, in works abstract, Form 34. III. --- Suspense Accounts. (a) General. 270. In addition to the head Final charges, or the final sub heads in the case of major estimates, a few suspense accounts are opened in works abstracts to record transactions of a temporary character which are either not adjustable as final outlay in the accounts of the works concerned or the correct classification of which cannot be determined immediately. These accounts are:Materials for the record of the cost of materials issued direct to work. Contractors --- Advance payments for the record of advance payments and of their recoveries. Contractors --- Secured Advance for the record of secured advances and of their recoveries. Contractors --- Other Transactions for the record of all other debits or credits to contractors awaiting settlement, and Labourers for the record of unpaid wages of laboureres and of their subsequent payment. (b) Materials Account. 271. The suspense account Materials has already been referred to in paragraphs 264 and 269. This account should be opened in the works Abstracts of major estimates if materials are issued direct to works. It may also be opened in the case of minor estimates if the transactions relating to the direct issues of materials are of sufficient importance. The responsibility for clearing the head by transferring the charges to the final sub heads of work when closing the accounts of the work in the register of works, rests with the divisional office, vide paragraph 289. (c ) Contractors and Labourers Accounts. 272. Advance payments made to a contractor under the provisions of paragraph 229 should not be charged of as final outlay on the work or under any sub head of it. A suspense head, Contractors Advances payments, should be opened in the works abstract (Form 33 ort 34) as the case may be) for the record of advance payments and their subsequent adjustment. 273. Advances made to contractors and suppliers under paragraph 228, whether on the security of materials or otherwise as well as all recoverable payments made under proper authority to labourers and others on behalf of contractors, should be treated as advances made on account of the work concerned. They should not be charged to the general suspense head Miscellaneous P.W. Advances, The head Contractors secured advances is made to contractors, on the security of materials brought to site, under paragraph 228 (a) 274. The head Contractors other transactions is also for watching the ultimate payment of the unpaid balances of contractors accounts. Similarly, the head Labourers is meant for the clearance of the unpaid wages of labourers. If a running account bill or muster roll is only partly paid, the total amount due thereon as value of work done or supplies made should be brought to account in the works abstract as final

charges or as expenditure on the sub heads concerned, and the amount remaining un paid should be shown as a minus entry in the appropriate suspense column Contractors other transactions or Labourer. If any wages of labourers remain unpaid after the completion of a work, the accounts of the work may be kept open for a period of one month, which may be extended to three months at the discretion of the Divisional Officer. Thereafter the accounts of the work should be closed. This amount should be shown in any Completion Report or statement that may be prepared under the rules in paragraph 99 of the Central Public Works Department Code, by a special remark, as a liability against the work, and it is should be excluded from the total final expenditure on the work, so as to arrived at the amount actually brought to account. The account of a contractor should be closed as soon as his contract is completed. If he delays to receive final payment for more than one month after the final bill has been passed, a note to this effect should be recorded on the bill, the account of the work as passed on the bill should be incorporated in the works abstract on the authority of the bill and the balance due to him should be removed from the accounts of the work by credit to the head Public Works Deposits, to be dealt with thereafter under the rules relating thereto. If the final account of a contractor shows that he has already been overpaid or that the account closes with a balance due by him. The account should be settled by a recovery in cash or otherwise; but if an immediate recovery is not practicable the balance should be removed by debit to the head Miscellaneous P.W. Advances. 278. Disbursing officers are responsible for keeping a strict watch over the balances under the suspense accounts Contractors and Labourers, with a view to prompt adjustment by recovery, settlement of account or detailed measurement, these accounts should be cleared before the accounts of a work can be closed on completion. IV. --- Liabilities Awaiting Incorporation. 279. Liabilities are not incorporated in the accounts of works except in the following cases:-. a) Unpaid balances of partly paid running account bills or muster rolls are invariably incorporated, vide paragraph 274, b) The value of materials received from sources other than stock (including manufacture), whether for issue to contractors or for issue direct to works, is at once brought into the accounts of works even though payments to suppliers and adjustments crediting the transfer accounts concerned, may not be made at once, vide paragraphs 242 and 247, and. c) Wholly unpaid muster rolls and bills of contractors and suppliers are sometimes taken to account, vide paragraphs 276 and 277. Disbursing officers are, however responsible for keeping a strict watch over all liabilities with a view to settle them promptly. Money indisputably payable should never be left unpaid. It is no economy to postpone inevitable payments, and it is very important to ascertain, liquidate and record the payment of all actual obligations at the earliest possible date. 280. If any liabilities of works are incurred on behalf of contractors under the provisions of paragraph 227, arrangements should be made for withholding sufficient balances from their bills or for making necessary recoveries from them in due course. On the analogy of the rule in paragraph 198, all records on the authority of which liabilities may be liquidated or incorporated in the accounts, should invariably specify (1) the full name of the work as entered in the estimate, (2) the name of the sub head thereof, if any and (3) the recoverable charges, if any, with

the name of the contractor or other person from whom recoverable.

F . REGISTER OF WORKS. Forms of Registers of Works and their Preparation. 284. (a) The permanent and collective record of the expenditure incurred in the division, during a year, on each work estimated to cost more that Rs.2000 is the register of works. This record is maintained in the divisional office. b) There are two forms of registers of works corresponding respectively to the two forms of works abstracts (Forms 33 and 34) for major and minor estimates. The detailed form 40, should be used for Major Estimates and the simpler form, 41, for Minor Estimates. In respect of petty works no record is necessary beyond the petty works requisition and account, Form 32, which is self explanatory but, if desired, expenditure on these works may be recorded in the Register of Works for Minor Estimates, Form 41. 285. The registers of works are posted monthly from works abstracts. A separate folio or set of folios of Form 40 should be assigned to each Major Estimate, but entries relating to two Minor Estimates can be made on a single page of Form 41. When separate works abstracts are prepared, under paragraphs 259 and 262, for the sub works or parts of a major estimate, the transactions relating to each works abstract should be posted separately and an abstract for the entire work should be prepared on a separate folio or set of folios for comparing the cost of the work and its sub works with the provision in the estimate. II. --- EXAMINATION BY DIVISIONAL OFFICER. 286. Before the date of submission of the monthly account to the Accountant General, the posting of the registers of works should be completed and the registers should then be laid before the Divisional Officer for review. The monthly account of each work on which there has been expenditure during the month should be initialed (and dated) by the Divisional Officer in the column set apart for the purpose, in token of his having examined the entries and found them correct. Actual as well as probable excess, whether in the total cost of a work or sub head or in the rate of cost of a sub head, should receive special attention, and works slips in form 39 should be prepared and submitted to the Superintending Engineer when necessary vide paragraphs 34 and 44 of the Central Public Works Department Code. Note.1:If the transactions of a division are very large, the Divisional Officer may allow an extra period of a few days for the completion of the Registers of Works, but the submission of the monthly accounts to the Accountant General and the Completion of the works Abstracts (paragraph 282 ) should not be delayed on this account. Note.2:It should be seen, with special reference to works on which there have been only petty or no transactions during the previous two or three months, if there are circumstances justifying the retarted progress of progress of expenditure. If any such works have been stopped or are known to be nearing completion, the delay in closing their accounts should be enquired into; see also paragraph 287, if the slow progress of expenditure is due to delays in measuring work done or in setting up bills, the cause at work should receive attention. III --- Closing the Account on Completion of Work.

(a) SETTLEMENT OF LIABILITIES AND ASSETS AND CLEARANCE OF SUSPENSE ACCOUNTS. 287. It is an object of great importance to close the accounts of works as soon as possible after the actual work of construction is completed, vide paragraph 46 of the Central Public Works Department Code. If there is necessarily any delay in closing the accounts, it should be seen in particular that further charges are not incurred without the permission of the Divisional Officer. 288. Before the accounts of a work can be closed on its completion it should be seen that any adjustments of cost necessary under the rules, e.g. paragraph 52 of the Central Public Works Department Code, and paragraph 7 (c ) of statement A in Appendix 2 to this code, have been duly made in the accounts that all liabilities not originally brought to account have either been liquidated or since brought to account and that the balances under the suspense accounts Contractors and Labourers have been cleared, vide paragraphs 275 to 278. If the whole or any part of the expenditure on the work is recoverable from another department, Government, local body or individual, action should be taken to effect or complete the necessary recovery before the accounts of the work are closed. 289. The suspense account Materials should be cleared and the total cost of materials should be distributed over the final sub heads or other accounts concerned before the accounts of a work can be closed so that, for statistical purposes, the full cost, inclusive of the value of materials of each class of work, may be worked out and placed on record. This is effected in the divisional office in the following manner:-. a) After orders have been passed by the Divisional Officer on the final report of the value and verification of materials at site (vide paragraph 235), the action taken from time to time as to the disposal of surplus balances and to the adjustment of discrepancies and losses should be recorded in form 38. b) Petty deficiencies and surpluses held to be due to the adoption of formulae for determining the quantities used in construction may be adjusted under the orders of the Divisional Officer by debit or credit to the sub heads concerned, action being taken separately, if necessary, to make suitable revision of the formulae in use. c) Shortages and losses for which any contractors are held responsible should be adjusted by prompt recovery either in cash, or by debit to their personal ledger accounts. If they are recoverable from other persons the debits should be transferred to the Miscellaneous P.W.Advances account for recovery in cash or by deduction from pay bills. d) Other actual losses which are irrecoverable should be written off under the orders of competent authority, the charge being transferred to the sub head contingencies, or to the sub heads concerned, or even to a new sub head opened for the purpose as may be considered suitable with due regard to the statistical value of the recorded cost of final sub heads of work. e) The cost of surplus materials which cannot be sold or transferred elsewhere and losses on account of the sale or transfer of surplus stores at a reduced valuation, should be adjusted by charge to the sub heads concerned. (b) CLOSING ENTRIES AND REVIEW OF EXPENDITURE. 292. (a) When the work is completed and the accounts of it have been settled and written up as indicated in paragraphs 288 and 289 ad double red ink line should be ruled below the final entries and a note made in red ink Work completed in .. 19 This note should be signed by the Divisional Officer in taken of his satisfying himself that all action has been taken under those paragraphs. It will be the authority for treating the accounts of the work as closed, and a work should not be reported as completed in the divisional accounts

unless this authority has been placed on record. b) If it is a Deposit work, steps should be taken promptly to surrender the unexpected balance, if any, of the deposit with the approval of the Divisional Officer. (c ) Excesses Over Estimates. (i) Excesses passed by Divisional Officer. 293. If the total expenditure on the work is in excess of the sanctioned estimate and the excess is passed by the Divisional Officer under his powers, the words Excess passed by me should be added to the completion note recorded under paragraph 292. (ii) Completion Reports and Statement.

294. If, however, the excess is not within the Divisional Officers powers to deal with, a detailed completion report in form 44 should be prepared or the item should be included in a consolidated completion statement of works and repairs in form 45, as may be required under the rule in paragraph 99 of the Central Public Works Department Code. The completion note in the register of works should then be amplified thus; work completed in 19 completion report statement submitted with this office letter No. dated . 19.. The orders passed subsequently by higher authority on the excess reported in the Completion report statement should also be noted in the register of works to complete the records. IV. ---- Correction of errors after closing accounts. 295. Should an error or omission in the recorded expenditure of a work come to light after its accounts have been closed (see paragraph 46 of the Central Public Works Department Code), the accounts may be reopened in order to rectify the error or omission unless the amount involved is not more than ten rupees in which case it will be sufficient to make a note of the error or omission in the relevant documents concerned. V. Schedule of Rates. 296. To facilitate the preparation of estimates, as also to serve as a guide in setting rates in connection with contact agreements, a schedule of rates for each kind of work commonly executed should be maintained in the division and kept up to date. It should be prepared; on the basis of the rates prevailing in each locality and necessary analysis of the rates for each description of work and for the varying conditions thereof should, so far as may be practicable, be recorded.

The Divisional Accountant is responsible that all corrections advised by the Accountant General are specially brought to the notice of the Divisional Officer.

SCRUTINY OF ACOUNTS. 494. The Divisional Accountant should examine the accounts returns of sub divisional officers on receipt to see. i) that they have been received in a complete state. ii) that all sums receivable are duly realized, and on realization credited to the proper head of account as well as to the personal account, if any, of the contractor, employee or other individual. that the charges are covered by sanctions and appropriations and are supported by completed vouchers, setting forth the claims and the acknowledgments of the payees legally entitled to receive the sums paid. That all vouchers and accounts are arithmetically correct,. That they are in all respects properly prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to each case, and That all charges are correctly classified, those which are debitable to the personal account of a contractor, employee or other individual or are recoverable from him under any rule or order, being recorded as such in a prescribed account. It is not necessary that the divisional accountant should check personally the arithmetical accuracy of all vouchers and accounts, but he is responsible that a cent percent, check is exercised efficiently under his supervision. 495. The Divisional Accountant should exercise a similar check, from day to day, in regard to (i) the transactions recorded direct in the cash and stock accounts o the divisional office, and (ii) bills and vouchers of sub divisions, which are submitted to the Divisional Officers for approval before payment is made by the sub divisional officer. In respect of charges, this examination should be conducted before the payment is made. 498. The Divisional Accountant is responsible that every order or sanction affecting expenditure to be accounted for in the monthly Account, is noted at once in a suitable register (or other account), preferably one wherein the expenditure incurred against it can be watched readily. General sanctions to estimated and appropriations for works should be noted in the register of works sanctions to fixed charges of a recurring character, e.g. those relating to the entertainment of work charged establishments should be entered in the register of sanctions to Fixed Charges, Form 58, For sanctions to special payments chargeable to the accounts of works, and other miscellaneous sanctions, Form 59, Register of Miscellaneous. Sanctions, will be found suitable. 500. It is one of the functions of the Divisional Accountant to see that expenditure which is within the competence of the Divisional officer to sanction or regularities, is not incurred, as a matter of course, under the orders of subordinate disbursing officers without his knowledge. All such items of expenditure should at once be brought to the notice of the Divisional Officer and his orders obtained and placed on record. See also paragraph 23. 501. The works expenditure should be checked with the estimates to ensure that the charges incurred are in pursuance of the object for which the estimate was intended to provided. In the case of works the expenditure on which is recorded by sub heads (that is, items of work such as brick work etc.) the Divisional Accountant is responsible for checking the expenditure on each sub head with the estimated quantity of work to be done, the sanctioned rate, and the total sanctioned cost, so that he may bring to notice all deviations from the sanctioned estimate. 502. When a recovery has been ordered to be made from a contractor or other person, which

cannot be watched through a suspense or other account specially prescribed for the purpose, the order should be noted at once in a register of recoveries in Form 95, opened specially for the purpose, so that the amounts recovered from time to time (with particulars of the account concerned ) may be recorded against, it and prompt compliance with the order watched. The Divisional Accountant should see also that savings due to abandonment of parts of a work, as evidenced by the quantities of the work executed or otherwise, are not utilized towards unauthorized expenditure. 504. After check every voucher should be enfaced with the word checked over the dated initials o the Divisional Accountant as well as of any clerk who may have applied a preliminary check. Vouchers not submitted to audit (vide paragraph 525) should be cancelled by means of perforating or endorsing stamp and kept carefully, to be made available or test audit whenever demanded by the Accountant General. PRO FORMA ACCONTS. 536. When the details of any class of transactions, as recorded in the prescribed accounts, are not sufficiently indicative of the financial results of the operations of a given period, and it is necessary to ascertain the results, it is usual to prepare periodically suitable proforma accounts in addition. Note.1:If the maintenance of such supplementary accounts is necessary for audit purposes and no form has been prescribed by the Auditor General, the Accountant General will determine the required forms in consultation with Government but if the account are required for administrative purposes, the accounts will be maintained in such form as may be agreed upon between the Accountant General and Government. Note.2:If a pro forma account relates to transactions of two or more divisions, the compilation of it is undertaken by the Accountant General, and Divisional Officers may be required to furnish the necessary date. A pro forma account relating to a single division will be prepared by the Divisional Officer and if it is an account prescribed by an administrative authority, the Accountant General may not be required to check it except in pursuance of an arrangement agreed between him and Government. 537. If for the purposes of any pro forma account which the Accountant General is required to prepare or check, it is necessary to determine the charges incurred on a particulars work or service, or a group of works or services, the expenditure thereon should be booked separately in the general accounts, even though, under rule, it may not be customary to estimate or account for such expenditure separately. Detailed instructions in this connection will be issued by the Accountant General in consultation with Government, where necessary. See also paragraph 15 (d). 538. The pro forma accounts showing the results of the working of irrigation, etc, project, productive as well as unproductive, for which capital accounts are kept, are prepared annually by the Accountant General in accordance with the rules prescribed in the Account Code, Volume IV. These accounts are known as the Administrative Accounts of Irrigation, Navigation, Embankment and Drainage Works. Note:- For rules relating to pro forma accounts of irrigation water courses, see paragraph 5 of Appendix 4. 539. For workshops; manufactories and similar quasi commercial undertakings, it is usual to prepare pro forma accounts periodically, vide paragraphs 335 (d) and 386.

CHEPTER 12, Q.

STORES & STOCKS .

Define Store ?

Ans. The term store applies generally in all articles and materials purchase or otherwise acquired for the use of Government including not only expendable and issuable articles in use or accumulated for specific purpose but also articles of dead stock of the nature of plant, machinery, instrument, furniture, equipment, fixtures etc. Q. What is the classes of Stores ? Ans. There are four classes of stores which fall into two distinct categories as given below :i) ii) Store debited to suspense Stores debited to final heads ( ( (i) Stock (i) Tools & Plant (ii) Road Metal (iii) Materials charged to work

Question:-

Who is responsible for general administration of the Store in a Division ?

Ans. The general administration of all the stores of Division is vested in the Divisional Officer on whom primarily devolves the duty of arranging in accordance with such rules and instructions as may have been issued by Government for :the acquisition of stores. their custody and distribution according to the requirements of works, and their disposal. (Paragraphs 95 & 97 of CPWA - Code) Question:Is fictitious stock adjustment is allowed under the rules ?

Ans. All transactions of receipts and issues should be recorded strictly in accordance with the prescribed rules or procedure in the order of occurrence and as soon as they take place. Fictitious stock adjustments are strictly prohibited, such, for example, as :1. The debiting to a work of the cost of materials not required or in excess of actual requirements. 2. The debiting to a particular work for which funds are available of the value of materials intended to be utilized on another work for which no allotment has been sanctioned. 3. The writing back of the value of materials used on a work to avoid excess outlay over appropriation etc.

Any breach of this rule constitutes a serious irregularity, which will be brought prominently to the notice of the appropriate authority concerned by the Director of Audit and Accounts. (Para 98 CPWA Code; Rule 64 DFR) Question :Ans. What are the different source of receipt of stock ?

Material may be received on stock from the following sources :-

Suppliers High Commissioner for Pakistan in U.K.. Other Sub Divisions or Departments (including Government workshops). Manufacturers. Works, Buildings etc. In all cases there should be a proper authority for the receipt by the storekeeper or the sectional officer concerned of the material to be brought on stock. Materials may be issued from stock for the following purposes :for use on works either by issue to contractors or direct. for dispatch to other Sub Divisions, Divisions or Departments. for sale to contractors, employees, other persons or local bodies. Question:How are the issue rates of stock materials fixed and when are they revised ?

Ans. An issue rate is assigned to each new article as it is brought on stock. This rate is fixed on the principle that the cost to be charged to work, on which the materials are to be used, should approximately equal the actual cost of stores and that there may be no ultimate profit or loss in the stock accounts. It should provide, beyond the original price paid, for carriage and other incidental charges, if any, actually incurred on the acquisition of stores. If the issue rate of an article of stock is appreciably less than market rate :Issue to contractors and sale shall, except as provided otherwise, be made at market rates. Issues to other Divisions and Departments may be made at a rage higher than the issue rate. Normally the issue rates will remain constant throughout the half year; but as purchases are made or contractors for the supply of materials are entered into variations in cost should be watched and if these cases shall at once be raised or lowered as may be necessary. Further when closing the half yearly registers of stock, all rates must be viewed and revised, if necessary, to bring them within the market rates. (Para 118 to 120 of CPWA Code ; Rule 6.21 to 6.23, D.F.R.)

What is the fundamental store ? Ans:- The accounts of stores are based on the fundamental principle that the cost of their acquisition should be debited to the final head of account concerned or the particular work for which they are required, if either of these can be determined at once; otherwise, it should be kept in a suspense account pending clearance, as the materials are actually issued, by debit to specific heads of account or works. b) In accordance with this general rule, the cost of the supply of all stores, required as tools and plant for the general use of the division, is debited at once to the minor head Tools and Plan. Special items of tolls and plant, which are required for a specific work, are debited to that work. Similarly, all road metal required for the maintenance of a road or section of a road is debited at once to the minor head Repairs, against the estimate sanctioned for the collection of it. Articles comprised within the head Tools and Plant can only be purchased or manufactured against sanctioned estimates. The powers of officers to sanction estimates for the purchase, manufacture and repair of tools and plant are, the same as their powers to sanction estimates technically under paragraph 68. Ordinarily, material should be purchased only for works in progress. and no reserve of stock should be kept except with the specific sanction of, and to a money limit to beprescribed by, the minor local Government. when road metal is acquired especially for use in the construction of a road or other work, its cost is debited to the estimate for such construction. Material purchased specially for a work are, debited to that work. SUSPENSE ACCOUNTS. 343. The account of the minor head Suspense, sub divided into as many of the five heads named below as may be required, of kept in each division under a single major head of expenditure unless Government has directed otherwise:- (10 Purchases, (2) Stock, (3) Miscellaneous P.W. Advances, (4) London Stores, and (5) Workshop Suspense. These heads are of a temporary character and all transactions recorded under them, are ultimately removed either by payment, or recovery, in cash, or by adjustment. In the case of other materials, when purchases are made for the requirements of works generally, the cost is accounted for under the suspense head Stock, vide paragraph 125 of the Central Public Works Department Code. The transactions, therefore, consist of both debits and credits, the latter being treated as reduction of expenditure when making up the account of the major head. A----- PURCHASES. 344. When materials are received from a supplier or from another division or department, their value should be credited to Purchases and Immediately on their receipt, if the materials for

a specific work, than the cost ,per contra,may be included at once in the accounts of the work and other relevant accounts, as well as the connected subsidiary accounts. 348. The account of this head should be kept in Form CPWA-67, suspense register, the details being recorded in a separate set of folios for each of the two headings (1) purchases for stocks, and (2) Purchases for specific works. B-STOCK. 349. The head Stock is opened in all divisions in which stocks of materials are maintained for general purposes. para 125 C. P. W. D Code. 352. The sub heads of the stock account are: (1) Small Stores, (2) Building Materials, (3) Timber, (4) Metals,(5) Fuel, (6) Painters Stores, (7) House fittings, (8) Miscellaneous stores, (9) Land, Kilns, etc, (10) Manufacture, and (11) Storage.

CDA-A- 11 Half yearly Balance Return. 114 (a) The total quantities of the receipts and issues of each article of stock, as recorded in the monthly abstracts, forms 9 and 10, should before the abstracts are transmitted to the divisional office (vide paragraph 489), be posted in the Half yearly balance Return, Form 11, in the columns provided for the month concerned both under Receipts and Issues As soon as the receipts and issues of the last month of the half year are posted, the closing balances should be worked out and entered both in column 21, Closing balance carried forward, of the return for that half year and in column 6, Balance brought forward, of the return for the next half year. (b) A separate return in this form should be prepared for each of the Half years ending September and March, that for the September half year embracing only transactions up to the date on which the monthly account of the sub division are closed. The return for each half year should embrace all articles in stock. (c) Columns 22 and 23 of the form of the return are provided so as to give the sub divisional and the divisional officers an opportunity of commenting on the condition of the stores or on the rates, and of noticing cases in which the balances are in excess of requirements. Payment for stock received. 116. Bills of suppliers should, before payment, be examined and dealt within the manner prescribed in paragraphs 203 and 212 to 224.to prevent erroneous or double claims being put forward successfully. Storekeepers may, if desired, be required to verify suppliers bills before payment (vide paragraph 105) but the disbursing officer is responsible that no payment is made unless the precautions referred to above have been observed.

117.

Cash payment should not be made for stock received from other sources .

Recoveries for stock issued. Issue Rates. 118. An Issue Rate is assigned to each new article as it is brought on stock. This rate is fixed on the principle that the cost to be charged to works on which the materials are to be used should approximately equal the actual cost of the stores and that there may be no ultimate profit or loss in the stock accounts. It should provide, beyond the original price paid, for carriage and other incidental charges, if any, actually incurred on the acquisition of stores. STORE CHARGES. 121. A storage rate is fixed annually for each Division or sub division on the principle that the total estimated annual expenditure (see paragraph 4 (55) is, as far as possible recovered from tissues likely to be made during the year. On the basis of this rate storage charges are calculated, simultaneously with the book value, for all issues made under paragraph 106. IV. --- HALF YEARLY REGITER OF STOCK. 126. An account should be maintained in the divisional office to record, month by month, separately for each sub division, the transactions relating to each item of stock. This account should be in Form 12. Half yearly register of stock, which is in three parts. Part.1 The register. Part.II The summary. Part.III The Review. 127. Part I should, as regards quantities, be posted monthly from the sub divisional Abstracts Forms 9 and 10 and balanced half yearly, in the same manner as the subdivisional half yearly balance return; see paragraph 114. 128. At the end of the half year, the closing balances of quantities should be reconciled with those shown in the half yearly balance returns received from sub divisional officers, vide paragraph 490. 129. The register should then be closed, the following instructions being observed in respect of money columns 20 to 24:a) Column -24 ( Market rates ) This column should be filled up in respect of each item, under the orders of the Divisional Officer, by a person other than a ministerial subordinate. It should be written up at or about the close of the half year but before any entries are made in the column for future issue rates. b) Column -20 (Current issue rates.) This column will have been filled up at the commencement of the half year, in respect of items brought forward from the previous half year, and subsequently, from time to time, in respect of new items and items the rates of which are revised during the half year. c) Column -21 (Value at current issue rates) This column should be written up at the close of the half year and should represent the value of the closing balance at the issue rates current during the lat month of the half year.

d) Future issue rates (column 22) This should show the rate for issues during the following half year which should be fixed, separately for each item, in accordance with the principles laid down in paragraph 118, but should in no case be in excess of the market rate. e) Value at future issue rates (column 23). This column should show against each item the value of the closing balance at the future issue rate. Part.II, summary, is serve two purposes; (I) to prove the value balances brought out in column 19 of part 1 ,and consequently the amounts of the surpluses and deficits requiring adjustment in consequence of the revision of rates, and (2) to abstract the value balances, so as to bring out, by sub heads of stock, for the entire division, the aggregate value at Current Issue Rates side by side with the balances as shown in the accounts. 131. When part II is completed the Divisional Accountant should write up his report in part III and submit it to the Divisional Officer, who will then review the register of stock and record his remark and orders in part.III. D. ---- MISCELLANEOUS P.W. ADVANCES. 355. Transactions recorded under the head Miscellaneous P.W. Advances are divided into four classes:-. 1) Sales on credit:- When stores of any kind are sold on credit, their value (plus, if recoverable, the supervision charges referred to in paragraph 127 of the Central Public Works Department Code) should be debited to Miscellaneous P.W.Advances under the sub head Sales on credit, so that (1) the accounts of stock or works from which the materials are issued may be kept correctly, and (2) the recovery of the value from the local body or individual concerned may be watched through the regular accounts.

2) Expenditure incurred on Deposit works in excess of deposit received. Outlay on Deposit Works is required to be limited to the amounts of deposits received. Any expenditure on deposit works incurred in excess of the amount deposited is chargeable to Miscellaneous P.W.Advances pending recovery, to effect which action should be taken at once. See paragraph 361. 3) Losses, retrenchments, errors etc. 358. Under the heading Losses, retrenchments, errors, etc., appear the following:-. a) Deficiencies in cash of stock. b) Actual losses of cash or stock. c) Errors in accounts awaiting adjustment. d) Retrenchments and losses of other kinds recoverable from Government servants. 4) Other items. The head Other items is meant for all debits, the allocation of which is not known or which cannot be adjusted until recovery or settlement is effected or write off ordered. The following are cited as examples:- (1) debits, the classifications of which cannot be determined at once, (2) recoverable debits not pertaining to the accounts of a work, and (3)

recoverable outstanding appertaining to works, the accounts of which are closed (vide paragraph 277 and 291). E. --- LONDON STORES. 362. The head London Stores is the suspense head through which are passed all transactions connected with stores obtained through the High Commissioner for Pakistan in the U.K. The objects of this account are (i) that the stores received from England that the stores received from England are brought on the accounts of Stock or works immediately on their receipt, without waiting for the debit for the payments made in England by the High Commissioner, (ii0 that when the debit precedes the stores the receipt of the latter is watched, and (iii) that in all cases agreement is secured between the debit to stock or works, and the payments made in England. F. --- WORSHOP SUSPENSE. 371. When a workshop has been established, the accounts of which are kept in accordance with the rules in Chapter, XIV, all direct outlay on the jobs executed and on other operations of the workshop is passed through the suspense head Workshop Suspense and a separate account is kept under it of each job or operation, so that all charges relating to each, may be collected and charges of a general nature may be suitably distributed over all the jobs or operations affected, before the total cost recoverable is determined. 372. The recorded expenditure on a job is removed from the suspense head only when, and to the extent that, an adjustment is affected against the deposit received or against the service or other head concerned, vide paragraph 383. This removal is effected by a credit to the account of the job. But when any charges are transferred from one job or operation to another, the transfer should be made by plus and minus debit entries. B. --- DORECT AND INDIRECT CHARGES. Direct Charges:381. All capital charges on buildings, plant and machinery and stock materials, and all charges incurred on their maintenance and on the up keep of the necessary general establishment, should be accounted for as ordinary public works transactions under the major head concerned, in accordance with the preceding paragraph and under the general instructions of other chapters of this code. These are charges which neither pertain to any individual job executed in the shops, nor are capable of direct apportionment amongst all the jobs, and are, therefore, met out of the grants of the Department, the distribution of such charges over individual jobs being made in accordance with the rule in paragraph 384. Indirect charges:-

382. All other expenses connected with the operations of a workshop are debitable to the jobs concerned, and should therefore, be accounted for under the suspense head Workshop Suspense, vide paragraphs 371 to 374. The charges pertaining exclusively to any job should be debited to it at once, and those of a general nature should be treated, in the instance, as general charges (under one or more suitable headings) and apportioned subsequently amongst the jobs concerned in accordance with a definite procedure. Tools and Plant. The tools and plant of a division are of two kinds:a) General or ordinary tools and plant, i.e. those required for the general use of the division. The cost of the supply, repairs and carriage of articles of class (a) is charged to the minor head Tools and Plant, b) Special tools and plant, i.e. those required not for general purposes, but for a specific work. whereas similar charges of class (b) are borne by the work concerned. In both case, the cost is charged in the accounts against sanctioned estimates, in the same way as expenditure on works, though for purposes of sanction it is treated as expenditure eon tools and plant. Numerical Accounts. CDA-A- 13 Receipts of T&P.

145. All articles received should be examined and counted when delivery is taken, and the transaction should be posted in the Account of Receipts of Tools and Plant, Form 13. Such acknowledgement as may have to be given to the person from whom the articles are received, can be signed only by the Divisional or sub divisional officers. An acknowledgment should invariably be given when articles lent are received back. Form CPWA-13 ACCOUNT OF RECEIPT OF TOOLS & PLANTS It comprises of following columns :( Date ( Source of receipt with particulars. ( Name of Articles with classification ( Reference vouchers numbers and date and adjustment of value (to be Divisional Office) CDA-A- 14 Issues of T&P.

146. All transactions of issues (including those of articles referred to in paragraph 144) should be posted in the Account of Issues of Tools and Plant, Form 14. Except in the case of cash sales, unstamped but dated acknowledgement must be obtained in support of all issues, and in the case of tools, etc. lent to contractors, such acknowledgments should further set forth the valuation of the articles lent. As determined by the Sub divisional Officer. See also Note 1 below paragraph 108.

147. A consolidated account of the receipts, issues and balances tools and plant should be maintained in the sub divisional office in Form 15, Register of Tools and Plant. This account should be for the twelve months ending September, that is, it should embrace transactions up to the date on which the accounts of the sub divisional for that month are closed. It should be kept in three parts:Part.1. ---For articles in hand. Part II. ---For articles temporarily lent or sent paragraph Part III. ---- For shortages awaiting adjustment. In part I articles should be grouped under the prescribed sub heads which are (1) scientific instruments and drawing materials, (2) Plant and machinery, (3)Tools, (4) Navigation plant, (5) Camp equipage, (6) Live stock, and (7) Office furniture, In Part II the entries should be made is a separate section for each contractor or other person to whom the article or lent or sent out for repairs, etc. part III is brought into use only if any shortages come to notice, and the instructions relating to it are given in paragraph 160. 148. Parts I and II of the Register should be posted thus. a) The Accounts of Receipts and Issues, Forms 13 and 14, should first be totaled up monthly when closing the accounts of the month. b) The total receipts and issues of each article thus arrived at should be posted in Part I of the Register, Form 15, in the columns for Receipts and Issues respectively. c) Each separate transaction connected with articles lent or sent out (vide paragraph 144) should further be posted in part II in the section reserved for the contractor or person concerned, articles lent, etc, being shown under Debits and those received back under Credits..

Rectification of Accounts. 138. Clerical errors in value accounts of stock should be dealt with generally under paragraph 79 see also paragraph 115. Corrections of errors discovered after the accounts of the month are closed. Should, when permissible, be made (i) by making entries of value (without quantities) in the stock accounts of the current month when no change is to be made in the head of account affected, and (ii) by preparing transfer entries in other cases. 139. Other corrections in Stock accounts may be necessary in the following cases:When quantities are found surplus or short, either as the results of stock taking, or otherwise vide paragraphs 131 and 130 of the Central Public Works Department Code. When Issue Rates have to be raised or lowered vide paragraph 119. When stores of any description become unserviceable (vide paragraph 129 of the Central Public Works Department Code) and have therefore, to be removed from stock. 140. These corrections should be effected in the flowing manner:a) Both in quantity and value accounts, all additions to quantities should be treated as Receipts and reductions there in as Issues, a suitable remark being made in the entries in Forms 8,9 and 10 See also paragraph 134 and 135. These entries must be made as soon as differences in quantities come to notices but in the case of materials to be declared unserviceable, no adjustment should be made until receipt of orders of competent authority which should be obtained on a survey report in Form 18. b) Alterations in rates made when closing the Register of stock should be carried out as indicated in paragraph 129 (d). Those made on other occasions should be noted at once in Part.1 of the register of stock by making a fresh entry (with the month of change) in column 20. The resultant rectification of the value of the stock balances should in all cases be made only when the register of stock is closed, vide paragraph 129 (e). The adjusting entries referred to in that paragraph should, however be cleared on receipt of orders of competent authority, this clearance being effected by making suitable value entries, without any quantities, in the abstract of receipts and issues, Forms 9 and 10 as the case may be the value being classified in accordance with the principle enunciated in paragraph 135. 141. No correction will be made in the accounts in respect of stores declared to be in excess of requirements, vide paragraph 126 of the Central Public Works Department Code. Such stores will continue to be borne on the Stock account until transferred elsewhere or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course. VI. --- Rectification of Accounts. 159. Clerical errors in the numerical accounts should be dealt with in the manner prescribed in paragraph 115 for stock accounts except that no transfer entries will be necessary. 160. Discrepancies in quantities and losses should be dealt with as under:When they are noticed, action should be taken as indicated in paragraph 158, losses being treated

as deficiencies. When writing up the Register, Form 15, the deficiencies should be registered in part III under Debits and their clearance should be watched. Articles found surplus will be treated as receipts in part I, and will, therefore, require no further action. If the deficiencies are made good in kind, the receipt or recovery should be shown in the Account of Receipts, Form 13, without making any entry in the quantity columns, and, when posting the Account into the Register, Form 15, the articles received should not be entered in Part 1, but taken (with a suitable remark) direct to part III, under Credits, in clearance of the debit outstanding therein. If the deficiencies are made good by recovery of cost or their write off is sanctioned the articles should be shown, as issued, in the Account of Issues, Form 14, with a suitable remark, and when this entry is transcribed into the Register, Form 15, it should not only be entered in Part 1 in the ordinary way, but also entered with a suitable remark in Part III, as in case (c ), thus clearing the debit outstanding therein. Note:The authority to write off should be obtained on a Survey Report in Form 18.

D. ---- ROAD METAL. 1. ---- Quantity Accounts. 161. Supplies of road metal should be measured and paid for in the same way as supplies of other materials for works, vide Chapter X. But as metal is often kept is stores at the road side before being laid down, a quantity account of it should be maintained in the sub divisional office in Form 16, Statement of Receipts, Issues and Balances of Road Metal, Copies on losses sheets being submitted monthly to the Divisional Office within a fortnight of the submission of the monthly accounts. Note.1:The authority to write off should be obtained on a Survey Report in Form 18. Note.2:This statement should show, mile by mile, the receipt, disposal and balances of road metal each of road metal of each kind (stone kunker, etc.) The balance of metal in each mile should be shown, whether there are nay transactions on it during the month or not. Note.3:Separate statement should ordinarily be kept for metal collected for annual repairs, for renewals and for petty repairs. 162. In respect of metal required for new roads of for renewal purposes, the maintenance of this detailed account showing the receipts, issues and balances, mile, may be dispensed with by the Divisional Officer, Provided. 1) That he should maintain in his own office, a register in a form similar to Form 35 (without values) showing, separately by each road or section of a road, the quantities of metal of each description paid for, month by month, in connection with all estimates for collection, and. 2) That, whenever any executive officer or subordinate responsible for any part of the balance of the metal is transferred the accounts pertaining thereto should be verified. This verification should be generally on the lines prescribed in paragraph 252, et seq, the consumption since last verification being computed on a consideration of the work of construction or renewal actually done in connection with all estimates relating to the road or section For this purpose, form 37 may be used with advantage. IIRectification of Accounts.

163. Metal found surplus, as the result of check measurement (vide paragraph 37 of the Central Public Works Department Code) or otherwise should at once be brought on to the quantity accounts. Deficits should however, not be removed from the quantity accounts until recovery of their value or receipt of sanction to write off, but a red ink remark should be recorded at once and carried forward, from month to month, until the discrepancy is set right. III --- Schedule of Rates. 164. A rate book or schedule of Rates showing the lowest rate at which metal can be supplied to the road side through the division, should be kept in the divisional office in Form 17, with such modifications as may be considered necessary to unit local conditions. The rates should revised from time to time, as old quarries are exhausted or new ones opened, or as other circumstances affect the rates. See also paragraph 296. IV. --- Charges for Quarries. 165. When land is acquired for extracting road metal primarily intended for. i) The maintenance of an existing road or. ii) The construction of a new road or the rising in class of an existing road. The following principles of accounting should be followed in adjusting the charges connected with the land and quarries. a) When the charges do not exceed Rs.1000, the amount should be debited direct to Repairs or to Original Works, according as the quarry is intended to serve the purposes specified in clause (i) or (ii) above. b) When the charges exceed rs.1000 and the road metal is required to maintain an existing road or roads for a series of years, the total initial outlay should be debited to the sub head Land, Kilns, etc, of the stock account, and this sub head should be gradually relieved, by debit to the collection estimates of each year. In the manner prescribed in paragraph 335 for similar charges connected with manufacture operations. c) When the charges exceed Rs.1000 and the road metal is required for the purpose specified in clause (ii) above, the Divisional Officer should charge direct to the original work concerned such portion of the cost as is proper. The balance, if any should be debited to the such head Land and Kilns, etc. of the stock account, and this sub head should eventually be cleared by debit to Repairs in the manner prescribed in paragraph 335 (b). E. ---- MATERIALS CHARGED TO WORKS. 166. The account procedure relating to materials obtained specially for a work is described in chapter X. Special tools and plant charged to works do not fall under the category of Materials charged to works, vide paragraphs 142 and CDA-A-18 Survey Reports. 129. When stores of any kind become unserviceable, a report thereof should be made in Central Public Works Account Form No.18, This should be done at once on discovery of the fact.

130. All losses of stock should be immediately investigated and steps taken to obtain the sanction of competent authority to their write off, if necessary, see also paragraph 47 of General Financial Rules. Note;- In the case of serious losses, the Divisional Officer should hold a departmental enquiry, and record the evidence and his findings thereon, including a finding as regard the responsibility and culpability of the persons concerned. CDA-A- 19 For Sales and Transfers.

155. The Subdivisional Officer is responsible that when tools and plant are disposed of by sale or otherwise, with the sanction of competent authority, the amount recoverable from the parties concerned is realized at the earliest opportunity. If the amount is not recovered within the month in which the articles are delivered, it should be charged to Miscellaneous P.W.Advances as a sale transaction, by the issue of a transfer entry. Note. ---A sale Account in Form 19 should be prepared in support of every transaction. 126. All articles of stock (not including tools and plant) which are not likely to be required during the following twelve months, should be reported to the Divisional Officer who will, if necessary, take the Superintending Engineers orders as to their disposal. When stock materials are sold to the public or to other departments, an addition of 10 per cent, must be made to cover such charges on account of Supervision, storage, and contingencies as are not provided for in the rates fixed under paragraph 193 and 195-A of the Central Public Works Account Code. This addition may, however, be waived by the officer empowered to sanction the sale in the case of surplus stock which in his opinion, would otherwise be unserviceable. See also paragraphs 193, 195, and 437 of the Central Public Works Account Code. Except as provided in paragraph 127, no public stores may be sold otherwise than by public auctions, without the permission of the Superintending Engineer Commission, which should ordinarily not exceed 5 percent, may be allowed to the auctioneer, not being a departmental subordinate, but no commission can be allowed on private sales. CDA-A-35 Material Account form. 1) That he should maintain in his own office, a register in a form similar to Form 35 (without values) showing, separately by each road or section of a road, the quantities of metal of each description paid for, month by month, in connection with all estimates for collection, and. 2) That, whenever any executive officer or subordinate responsible for any part of the balance of the metal is transferred the accounts pertaining thereto should be verified. This verification should be generally on the lines prescribed in paragraph 252, et seq, the consumption since last verification being computed on a consideration of the work of construction or renewal actually done in connection with all estimates relating to the road or section For this purpose, form 37 may be used with advantage. Note:- When stores are sold by auction, responsible officer or subordinate should attend and record the final bids, in order to enable the sale accounts rendered by the auctioneer to be

checked. WORKSHOP ACCOUNTS. 375. The accounts to be kept in a workshop depend on the extend of the operations and the size of the shops. 376. When there is a small shop in a division for the execution of repairs to tools and plant or of small manufacture jobs, the accounts of works executed in such shops should be kept in the forms prescribed for repair works or manufacture operations as the case may be. 377. Larger workshops, with special plant or machinery are treated as separate sub divisions, or division, for account purposes. When such workshops are of the character of quasi commercial undertakings the system of accounts will be that prescribed locally for similar undertakings when they are run mainly for departmental purposes, the accounts should be kept in accordance with the instructions laid down in this chapter, in will be settled by the local administration in respect of each workshop in consultation with the Accountant General. 378. For every job there must be an estimate of cost (providing for all charges, including the prescribed percentages for indirect charges, vide paragraph 384) sanctioned by competent authority and accepted by the indenting officer, local body or individual; see also paragraph 379. The amount to be realized from the indenting party will, however, be based on the actual cost including indirect charges, though the authorized limit of cost, which the officer in charge of workshop may incur without further authority, is that shown in the accepted estimate. Note:- If the execution of a job for another division, department or Government is likely to extend beyond one financial year, the limit of the cost which may be incurred in each official year should also be settled beforehand. 379. No work should be undertaken for municipalities or private parties before the whole estimated cost, including all charges for supervision, profit, etc., that may be leviable under the rules for the time being in force, has been paid to the Divisional officer, or into a treasury to the credit of the Public Works Department. This rule may be relaxed at the discretion of the Divisional Officer, or Superintendent of the work shop, in the case of Government Officers where full recovery is not open to doubt. In such cases a rough estimate of the probable cost must be prepared in advance and the officer concerned required to give an undertaking that he agrees to pay the actual charges in full on completion of the work. The full expenditure incurred must be deducted from the officers pay for the following month. In all cases, prior to work being put in hand, an undertaking should be procured from the party concerned that it will not hold the Department responsible for loss by fire or theft or any other factor which could not be foreseen, when the estimate was prepared. In cases where it is found that the original estimate is likely to be appreciably exceeded, a revised estimate should be prepared and the procedure outlined above adopted. The cost of the operations should be charged monthly to the head Miscellaneous P.W.Advances pending recovery. . MANUFACTURE ACCOUNTS. 330. When materials are manufacture departmentally, either for the general requirements of works or for a particular work, a separate account, called a manufacture Account, must be kept of the transactions connected with each manufacture. See also paragraph 376. 331. The detailed accounts of the expenditure on a manufacture are maintained in the

same way as the accounts of a work and, in addition, an account is kept of the quantities and values of the products of the manufacture. The two sections of the accounts are known, respectively as the operation and the outturn accounts. 332. The ordinary forms of the registers of works are unsuitable for recording the progress of the transactions of a manufacture. Form 42, register of manufacture, should be used instead. 333. It is essential that the accounts of a manufacture shall not remain open indefinitely. If the operations are seasonal, the accounts of each season should be kept separate and closed as soon as the operations are closed. In cases in which operations are continuous, the accounts must nevertheless be closed periodically, but at least once a year. B. --- OPERATION CHARGES. 334. A Manufacture Account is debited directly with (1) the value of raw materials issued from stock or obtained otherwise, (2) the cost of the labour employed, and (3) other incidental charges connected with the operations. 335. The following directions apply to certain special incidental charges:-. a) Capital charges, such as the cost of lands, kilns, special plant, etc, incurred in connection with a manufacture which does not extend beyond a single seasons, are debited wholly to the account of the manufacture. b) Capital charges in connection with a manufacture extending over more than one season should be debited, in the first instance, to a special account under the sub head Land, Kilns, etc. of the Stock account. This account should also be debited with the cost of repairs and renewals of the kilns, etc. all these charges should be recovered in suitable installments by debit to the operation accounts of the several seasons, the number of installments and the amount chargeable for each season being determined on the merits of each case, under the orders of competent authority. Note.1:The decision as to the suitable installments whereby the Land Kilns, etc. account is to be cleared periodically, as given by the authority sanctioning the initial charge, should be recorded in the Register of Stock, Form 12, and not deviated from without the further orders of that authority. Note.2:When the land, kilns, plant, etc, acquired for departmental manufacturer operations are leased to a contractor of the division or other person, the rent charged should be credited to this special account and not to Revenue. c) If the manufacture is undertaken on behalf of other division departments or Governments or of local bodies or individuals a charge should be made on account of establishment, and tools and plant, if leveiable under the rules, vide appendix 5 for outlay on works undertaken on their behalf. d) Save a provided in clause (c ) above, no charge is permissible on account of the general establishment and ordinary tools and plant charges, or on account of interest on the capital cost of the land, kilns, plant, etc, though all these charges should be included in any proforma accounts of the manufacture operations of the division, which may be prepared under the orders of the local administration, with a view to compare the cost of articles manufactured departmentally with the rates charged by suppliers. 336. The accounts of road metal digging are not treated as manufacture accounts, but the charges connected with land and quarries acquired for such operations should be dealt with in

accordance with paragraph 165. C. --- VALUE OF OUTTURN. 337. A manufacture account is credited with the values of the manufactured articles and of the surplus materials sold or otherwise disposed of (paragraph 251). 338. The outturn account referred to in paragraph 331 should so month by month, the quantities and values of each class of articles manufactured, compared with the corresponding figures shown in the estimate (if any). The detailed account for each month should be prepared in Form 36, Outturn statement of Manufacture, and should be attached to the Works Abstract for the operation. 339. The rates for valuing manufactured articles should be so fixed as to represent, as accurately as possible, the actual cost of manufacture per unit, but should not exceed the market rates. CHEPTER 13 , PUBLIC WORKS DEPOSITS.

DEPOSITS. 388. Deposits transactions of the Public Works Department are of two kinds:-. i) Public Works Deposits, which pass through the regular accounts of the division. Deposits of the first kind comprise transactions of the following classes, which are passed through the head public works deposits:- Cash deposits of subordinates as security. - Cash deposits of contractors as security. - Deposits for work (other than Takavi Works) to be done, - Sums due to contractors on closed accounts, - Miscellaneous deposits. 389. Security deposits of subordinates and contractors, whether made in cash or forms of security referred to in paragraph 390. ii) Interest bearing securities.

390. The recognized forms of interest bearing securities and the rules to which they are subject, are indicated below:-. a) Government securities other than Post Office 5-Year Cash Certificates. Under the rules in chapter IX of the Government Securities. Manual issued by the authority of the Central Government. Under the rules for post office 5- year cash certificates and for depositors in post office savings banks issued under the authority of the Central Government. b) c) Municipal Debentures and port trust bonds. Post Office 5-Years Cash certificate.

d)

Post Office Savings Bank Pass Books.

e) Deposit receipts of recognized banks approved. 391. Government paper tendered as security shall be taken at its face value. 394. Percentage deductions for security deposit made from contractors, bills, should be credited to the head Public Works Deposits Cash deposits of contractors. 395. Without the special orders of competent authority, no security deposit should be repaid or retransferred to the depositor, or otherwise disposed of, except in accordance with the terms of his agreement or bond.

Where a work is to be carried out partly from funds provided in the estimates of the department and partly from funds of the foregoing nature, the contribution will be considered as a lump sum in addition to the Government grant, and the work executed in strict accordance with the procedure laid down for central works. 111. In cases where the department undertakes to design and construct a work wholly from the sources alluded to in paragraph 108, such as a town hall or reservoir for a Municipality or a school or hospital for which funds have been raised by subscription, the following rules will be observed:-. I. The design and estimate will, in the first instance, be drawn up in communication with the party or parties depositing or administering the funds, and must be submitted for the technical sanction of such departmental authority. II. Provision must be made to cover the cost of establishment, tools and plant, accounts and audit, at such percentages as are prescribed in the Central Public Works Account Code. Prior to the work being put in hand, a written approval to the estimate and design must be obtained from the authority depositing. the department does not bind itself to complete the work within the amount of the estimate, and that the authority depositing (administering) the funds, agree to finance any excess that may occur. The necessary funds for the execution of the work must be realized and paid into the Government treasury either in a lump sum or in such installments and by such dates as the minor local Government may decide in each case. It will be the duty of the officer in charge of the work to bring at once to the notice of his

superiors and of the local body or individuals any anticipated excess over the estimate, as well as to provide the fullest information in connection with the progress of expenditure, so that no responsibility may attach to Government in the event of the work having to be stopped for want of funds. 409. When a Deposit work is to be carried out, the local body or other party concerned should advance the gross estimated expenditure, which is payable by it, to the Divisional Officer in one lump sum, or in installments, and by such dates as may be specially authorized by the local Administration. A consolidated record of the transactions of a month relating to all Deposit work of the division should be prepared in Form 65, Schedule of Deposit Works. This schedule shows, in respect of each work, the amount of deposit received and the expenditure incurred, both during the month and up to date. Note:Refunds of unexpended balances of completed works should be taken in reduction of the deposit and, therefore, shown in the schedule as minus realizations and not as expenditure. II.

Expenditure on a Local Loan Works, including the portion of expenditure on a joint work, which is incurred against the sanctioned loan in accordance with the foregoing rules, and under orders of competent authority, should be accounted for under the head Q --- Loans and Advances by the Central Government and shown in the Schedule of Debits to Miscellaneous heads of Account, Form 76, supported by a Schedule of Works Expenditure. 421. All charges debitable to a loan should be brought to account as they occur, so that the interest charges may be correctly calculated and adjusted in the Accountant Generals Office. Note:- This rule applies also to the percentages (vide paragraph 411) leviable under the rules which should, therefore, be adjusted monthly by inclusion in the schedule of works expenditure. 422. The limit of funds set aside for expenditure on a work during the year should be ascertained from the Accountant General by the officer authorizing the expenditure, and communicated to the Divisional Officer for guidance. This limit should be treated as the appropriation for the work and should not be exceeded without special orders. D. --- TAKAVI WORKS. 1. --- Provision of Funds. 423. No estimated cost of a Takavi Work shall be deposited by the person or persons interested in the work, before expenditure is incurred on it, as, if the amount due is not received in cash direct from the, it is recoverable through the District and Revenue Authorities in the same way as arrears of Land Revenue. Endeavor should, however, be made to effect direct and prompt recoveries of the probable costs of Takavi Works, as recoveries through the District and revenue Authorities cause considerable trouble and delay in adjustment. IV. --- Water Courses. 428. The following rules apply to such water courses only as are classed as Takavi Works. The account rules relating to water courses of other classes are given in Appendix.4. III. --- Recovery through District and Revenue Authorities. 427.

313. In a lump sum contract the contractor agrees to execute a complete work with all its contingencies in accordance with the drawings and specification for a fixed sum, the following being its essential characteristics:i) A schedule of rates is specified in order to regulate the amount to be added to or deducted from the fixed sum on account of additions and alterations not covered by the contractor. ii) Except as provided in clause (1) no allusion is made in the contract to the departmental estimate of the work, schedule of rates or quantities of work to be done. iii) Detailed measurement of the work done are not required to be recorded except in respect of additions and alterations. 314. The form of contract is prescribed by Government in consultation with its Law Officers. As the account rules herein contained are based on the assumption that the essential conditions mentioned above will be observed in drawing up contracts, it is necessary that, before the form is finally determined, the advice of the Accountant General should be sought on the question whether the form proposed meets the requirements of audit. PAYMENTS FOR WORK DONE. 315. Subject to the terms of the contract and such subsidiary instructions as may be laid down by the local Administration to ensure that the works are executed in accordance with the prescribed specification, plans and drawings, payments for work done are not made to the contractor otherwise than on the certificates of the officers in charge of the work. 316. Whenever it is proposed to make any intermediate payment a certificate should be given by a responsible officer of Government (not below the rank of sub divisional officer) to the effect that. By superficially or general measurement or by some other suitable method laid down by the local administration (which should be specified), he had satisfied himself that the value of the work done is not less than a specified amount in conformity with contract agreement and that, with the exception of authorized additions and alterations, it has been done according to the prescribed drawings and specification. 317. In the case of final payments, in addition to a record of detailed measurements in respect of additions and alterations, there should be a certificate of completion of the work according to the prescribed drawings and specification signed by the Divisional Officer or such other officer

as may be declared by the local Administration to be an experience engineer of Government for the purpose. Note.:-In exceptional cases, such as that of the execution of a work in a border country under the supervision of a responsible civil officer without the intervention of the public works department, a completion certificate signed by the civil officer concerned may be accepted, if he is empowered by the local administration to sign it. 318. In order that a proper financial control may be exercised over the payments made, it is necessary that the accounts of additions and alterations should be kept quite distinct from those of the rest of the work. There is no objection to payment for additions and alterations being made before the completion of the work, if the detailed measurements of them have been made. FORMS OF BILLS. 319. The forms of bills used for payments in connection with lump sum contracts are Forms 27-A and 27-B. 320. Form 27-A is intended for intermediate payments which may be made to the contractor in accordance with his contract. No details of work done need be reproduced in the bill, but a reference should be given to the number and page of the measurement book in which the measurements of additions and alterations are recorded. The form provides for the secured advances, if any, which under paragraph 228 (a) may be allowed to the contractor. When such advances are allowed, an indenture in form 31, should invariably be obtained from the contractor and a detailed account of the materials should be kept in part II of the bill in the manner described in paragraph 226. No record of the materials need be kept in the measurement book; the certificate (3) printed on the bill must, however, be signed by the responsible officer in terms of paragraph 228. 321. Form 27-B, is intended for final payments made to a contractor. The details of additions and alterations alone should be given in the bill. For the rest, the certificates prescribed in paragraph 317 will be sufficient. As a further precaution, the contractor should be required to add to his acknowledgment in his own handwriting a statement that he has received the payment in full settlement of all demands, see, however, Note I below paragraph 224 (b). Note.:- The form of final bill may be printed on yellow paper to distinguish it from that of the running bill (see note 2 below paragraph 224 (b). E --- CONTRACTORS LEDGER. 327. Accounts of the transactions relating to lump sum contracts should be maintained in the contractors ledger, form 43, in the manner described in section G of chapter X, subject to the following subsidiary instructions. 328. As all intermediate payments made on Form 27-A are regarded as advances, no figure there from will be posted in column 9, which is intended to show the amount creditable to contractors account on account of the value of work done. The first and last entry which will appear in this column will be the figure F given in part I of the final bill from 27-B. Column 10 need not be posted at all. 329. Figures for posting the other columns 4,5,6 and 8, are indicated in the bills (Forms 27-A and 27-B) by the same distinguishing letters D.E, G and H respectively. Which have been used to denote the corresponding entries in the ordinary bill forms 25, 26 and 27.

CHEPTER 15, MISCLEINESE ( GENERAL). BUILDINGS (Public )FIXTURES. 112.Every public building should be provided with all necessary fixtures, and the repair of these should be carried out periodically as part of the repairs to the building.

B- GRANTS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION. 33. A grant or supplementary grant may be in respect of expenditure (vide paragraph 14) falling under one or more major heads or sections of a major head. For purposes of financial control, the grant allotted to each major head of account is divided into primary units of appropriation, each of which may be divided and sub-divided, as may be necessary, into secondary units of appropriation. Examples.---- The grant for Civil Works is broadly divided into the following primary units of appropriation. (1) Original Works, (2) Repairs, (3) Petty construction and repairs by Civil Departments, (4) Establishments, (5) Tools and Plant, (6) Grants in aid, contributions, etc., (7) Suspense, (8) Charges in England, (9) Loss or gain by exchange and (10) Reserve Any sub Divisions of the primary units, e.g, (a) Original Works into Major works, Minor Works, etc (b) Establishment into pay of officers, pay of Establishment, other charges, etc, is known as secondary units of appropriation. A secondary unit of appropriation may again comprise one or more detailed heads, e.g, pay of officers comprising detailed heads like consulting Engineer, Chief Engineer, Superintending Engineer, Architect, etc, sometimes a primary unit is split up straight into detailed heads, i.e. without being first broken up into secondary units, eg. Grants in aid, Contributions, etc. 34. The procedure relating to the preparation of demands for grants to the appropriation and appropriation of funds, to the distribution of funds and to budget materials generally, is laid down in the General Financial Rules. The rules special to public works are laid down in Appendix 6. REVENUE RECEIPTS.

174. Public Works revenue is assessed and realized in accordance with rules and orders made by or under the authority of Government. When collected, it should be brought to account in accordance with the classification prescribed in Appendix.2. 175. Consistently with the provisions of the rules in this chapter, the detailed rules or account procedure relating to revenue receipts are prescribed locally by the authorities of the Public Works Department, See also paragraphs 31, 38and 49 of the Central Public Works Department Code. 176. Distinction must be made between receipts which are finally creditable to Government as revenue of the Department, and transactions which represent merely such cash or other value received as has either to be eventually repaid or to be utilized to meet the cost of some service to be rendered or already rendered, or to be taken in reduction of expenditures previously incurred. Receipts of the latter class are creditable to the debt, deposit. Remittance or expenditure head concerned and are not subject to the rules of this chapter; see also statement E of Appendix.2. Note.1:For appropriation of unclaimed balances lying in the Deposit accounts, see paragraph 399. Note.2:Deleted. Note.3:Receipts in connection with District Fund Works which are realized by Public Officers are creditable to the head Deposits of Local Funds District Funds. 177. (a) It is not permissible to take credit for revenue to the head concerned until it is realized, but Divisional Officers are responsible that demands are made as revenue falls due, that steps are taken with a view to effect prompt realization of all revenue, regular or occasional, and that proper records are kept to show, in respect of all items of revenue, recurring or non recurring, the assessments made the progress of recovery and the outstanding debits due to Government. Note.1:The object of this rule is that all classes of revenue, whether accruing from property of any kind, from leases of rights and concessions (e.g. rights for finishing, grazing, etc, and use of water power), or from any other source are properly watched. Note.2:As an exception to the general rule, the following may be credited as revenue before realization. Supervision charges on sales of stock on credit. Sale proceeds of such articles of tools and plant as are creditable to the minor head Recoveries of expenditure by debit to Miscellaneous P.W.

The recovery of rents from Government servants occupying rentable buildings in charge of the Department may be made either in Cash or by deduction from their pay bills through the

Treasury Officer or other disbursing officer concerned, as may be directed by the local administration. The system of direct recovery in cash from employees of other divisions and departments is ordinarily not suitable when the rent recoverable is dependent upon the rate of pay of the occupant. 181. Where rent is recoverable in cash, a bill in suitable from should be sent to the tenant on or before the last day of each month. The tenant should be required to pay in the rent before the expiry of the following month. REFUNDS AND REMISSIONS. 188. Remissions of irrigation revenue allowed before collection should be treated as receptions of demands. Cash repayments of revenue actually collected and brought to account under XXXIX Civil Works or irrigation heads should be accounted for under the minor head Deduct refunds, of the revenue head concerned. All other refunds of revenue, such as, refunds of rent of rent adjusted by short assessment or short realization in a subsequent month, and repayments of Receipts and Recoveries on Capital Account, (Appendix 2) should be taken in reduction of the receipts under the heads concerned. 189. Before a remission or refund of any kind, otherwise in order, is allowed, the original demand or realization, as the case may be should be traded and a reference to the remission or repayment should be so recorded against the original entry in the cash book and other accounts as to make the entertainment of a double or erroneous claim impossible. A certificate of such a note having been made should be given in all vouchers for refunds. Any acknowledgment previo9usly granted should be taken back if possible and destroyed a note of the repayment being, in any case, recorded on the counterfoil of the receipt. SUNDRY RULINGS 1. Carriage and Incidental Charges. 306. (a) The cost of carriage of stock materials to site of work, and of all carriage charges, in connection with the movement, from place to place of other materials issued to or provided specially for a work, should be debited direct to the account of the work, the exact classification of charge being as indicated below:-.

estimates. The personal account of the contractor under the suspense head Constructors other transactions. The sub head to which the cost of the materials is debited. b) When surplus materials are returned from work to stock, the cost of carriage should be born by the work, but if they are transferred to another work, the charge may be debited to either work as may be equitable. c) Incidental charges connected with the movement of materials issued to or provided specially for a work or returned there from, should be adjusted in the same way as the cost of carriage. d) In all cases the places from and to which materials are conveyed, the distance, the quantity and the approximate weight must be stated clearly in the payment vouchers. II. ---- Charges for Examination of Soil. 307. The expense attendant upon the necessary examination of the soil for the foundations of works ordered by competent authority should be treated as outlay on works and not as a contingent charge, provision for it being made under the service head concerned in a requisition or estimate according to the sum involved. III. --- Expenditure on Inauguration Ceremonies. 308. The expenditure incurred with the sanction of competent authority on ceremonies connected with the inauguration of important public works should be debited. a) In the case of irrigation projects for which separate capital accounts are maintained, to the revenue account of the project. b) In the case of other works, to the contingencies of the sanctioned estimate. IV. --- Rates and Taxes on Buildings. 309. Municipal or other rates and taxes on public buildings, residential or non residential when debitable to the public works department as the Department in administrative control of the building should be treated as expenditure on repairs and debited to the maintenance estimates of the buildings concerned. V. --- Execution of Works by other Departments. 310. Whenever the maintenance of any works under the administrative control of the Public Works Department is entrusted to the agency of another civil department with the sanction of Government, the rules of procedure applicable to expenditure connected with the works will be such as may be laid down by the local administration in consultation with the Accountant General Subject to following reservations:-. 1) The Civil Department should be responsible to the public works department to account for appropriation placed at its disposal. 2) The Public Works Department should retain budgetary and financial control. 3) The Public Works Department should retain technical control through inspection. VI. --- Execution of Government Works by Local Bodies.

311. When the Public Works Department entrusts to the agency of a District Board, or other local body, the maintenance of Government buildings or roads, without transferring the property to the local body, the payment made to it on this account should be treated as payment for work done by a contractor. If lump sum payments have been agreed upon, the procedure for settling the account periodically, and for recording the cost of the works, may be simplified, with the concurrence of the Accountant General, provided. a) That a certificate that the work has been done in accordance with the conditions agreed upon is placed on record by a responsible official. b) that if the payment is made for a number of works, expenditure on all of which cannot be classified in the accounts under a single head of account, the necessary detailed classification of the charge is set forth, and. Note.1:These payments should not be charged to the minor head grant in aid that head being intended for cash contributions made to local bodies in connection with (1) roads which are either not the property of Government or being such property, have been transferred to the control of a local body and (2) miscellaneous civil works, the cost of which if constructed by the public works department would be debitable to the minor head original works buildings civil works and for the financial assistance given to these bodies, in the form of expenditure incurred in the public works department on a work constructed by that department on their behalf.

Cash required to disburse contingent charges is obtained from treasuries in one of By cheques i.e. in the same way as cash required for works payments, and. Directly by bills, i.e. in the same way as cash required for payment of pay and The second of these methods can be adopted only if the local administration has authorized it. Note:Under the first method, contingent charges are incorporated in the Monthly Account of the division, whereas under the second method they do not enter the divisional accounts at all, though ultimately in the Accountant Generals office they are accounted for against the appropriations to which they relate. B. ---- GENERAL RULES. 465. The rules in part V, chapter V, of the treasury rules, volume I, apply generally to the Public Works Department to the extend that they may not be inconsistent either with the authorized method of obtaining cash for contingent charges (vide paragraph 464) or with any of the special rules in this code. 466. The expression contingent charges as used in Public Works accounts does not include charges which under the rules in Appendix 2 are classified under some other head of expenditure, e.g., works, repairs and tools and plants, see also paragraph 468. 467. If the contingent charges of a division excluding special contingencies (vide rule

287 of the Treasury Rules, Volume I), during a month, exceed the monthly limit for such charges fixed by the local Administration, the bill for the month should be submitted to the Superintending Engineer for sanction, which will be signified by that officer countersigning the bill. 468.
