CHAPTER XX

SPECIAL RULES FOR TREASURIES THE BUSINESS OF WHICH IS CONDUCTED BY THE BANK

General

469-B. At places where there are offices of the Reserve Bank of India, viz. Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Delhi, the treasury business is, for the most part, conducted by the Reserve Bank of India. At other places, where there are branches of the State Bank of India, which act as agents of the Reserve Bank of India in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act (Act II of 1934), the treasury business is conducted by those branches of the State Bank as agents of the Reserve Bank of India.

In addition to the four places mentioned above, the Reserve Bank maintains Agency of its Banking Department at Kanpur, in charge of a Currency Officer who is an officer of the Reserve Bank. This agency deals with limited classes of transactions, e.g. those connected with Supply Bills and Currency Telegraphic Transfers. The ordinary work connected with the receipts and disbursements on Government account is dealt with by the branches of the State Bank of India at this place.

470. The following rules for the guidance of Collectors and Treasury Officers and the officers of the Bank in conducting the business of the Treasuries include information on most points likely to arise. The term "Collector" includes the government servant in charge of the Treasury, by whatever designation he may be called.

471. In cases of doubt, and as a general rule, the usage hitherto observed at the local Treasury will be followed in respect of all government transactions, with the Bank.

472. On all printed and manuscript forms or documents used in connection with Government business at the Bank, the words "General Treasury" are never used, as those words do not correctly represent the relation of the Government to the Bank (See Annexure ‘A’ to Appendix II, Part I of this volume). Any other erroneous expressions which misrepresent this relation should be carefully avoided by all Government servants and by the Bank itself.

472-A. In the event of the Agent of a branch of the State Bank of India or any of its subsidiaries which conduct treasury business, dying or becoming suddenly incapacitated for duty and it being not possible for the State Bank, or its subsidiary to make immediate arrangements for the transaction of business at the branch, the Government official named hereafter should, provided the concerned Bank has by prior arrangement requested that he should do so, at once

(a) visit the Bank in person, take over the keys of the strong-room and other receptacles of treasure, notes or books and ensure that the strong-room is properly secured and direct the guard to report to him ;

(b) telegraph information of the occurrence to the Local Head office/Head office of the concerned Bank; and

(c) arrange for the due transaction of urgent treasury business at the branch.

The responsibility for performing the functions herein stipulated should, in the first instance, be primarily that of—

(i) the Collector or the District Officer at the district headquarters.

(ii) the Sub-Divisional Officer/Tahsiladar at Sub-Divisional/Tahsil headquarters, as the case may be.

The concerned Government official should on no account take any action in regard to the Bank’s private business, which together with such treasury business as is not of an urgent nature, may remain in abeyance till a responsible official of the concerned Bank takes charge of the branch.

When it is impossible for the concerned Government Official to take the action mentioned above in person, e.g., on account of absence in camp, he may delegate his functions in this connection to any other Government official not below the rank of a permanent Sub-Treasury Officer who is within easy reach of the branch; he should nominate such Government official for this purpose specially on each occasion when necessity arises.

Neither the Government nor any Government servant will incur any responsibility either to the State Bank of India or to its subsidiaries or to any third party by reason of anything done bonafide under this rule. The Government official concerned would, however, be responsible for the safe keeping, as a bailee, of the keys of the strong-room etc. taken over by him and the accounting for the cash and other contents which he takes out from the strong-room.

Accounts

473. The books and accounts to be kept by the Bank will consists of—

The scroll cash-book, being the primary record.

A daily account of the receipts and payments made up for the despatch to the Collector.

An account in the general ledger in the name of the State or Central Government, as the case may be, (See paragraph 505A). A pass-book to be daily forwarded to and returned by the Collector.

474. In the scroll cash-book will be entered all receipts and disbursements on account of Government. The net amount only of documents paid, on which deductions have been made, will appear in this book and the total of each side will form the daily entries in the general ledger.

Daily Returns

475. In the daily account, such payments and receipts will be classified as may be directed by the Accountant General, in order that their arrangement may fit in with the forms prescribed for accounts kept at the Treasuries. The daily account will be prepared everyday and the Manager or Agent, as the case may be, after satisfying himself as to its accuracy, will docket and forward it to the Collector, with the register of daily receipts and payments and with all the appertaining vouchers and chalans at the close of the day. The net amounts of payments only are to be entered; that is, when a deduction is made from the amount of a bill, the daily account will show only the amount paid after deduction and not the gross amount of the demand.

NOTE—(1) It is of importance that these documents be secured in a locked box when sent by the Manager or Agent, as the case may be, to the Collector, in order that there may be no possibility of any alteration or abstraction of any paper before they reach the hands of the Collector.

NOTE—(2) With the concurrence of the Accountant General, the daily account may be submitted on the morning following the date to which it refers instead of at the close of the same day. The Treasury accounts of a day must, however, include the Bank accounts of the same day and should not be closed till such inclusion.

476. Care should be taken that vouchers sent to the Collector are conspicuously marked by the Manager or Agent, as the case may be, with the word ‘paid’. Inattention to this rule might lead to documents being paid twice, in the event of their falling into unscrupulous hands.

477. The register of daily receipts and payments has seven columns for (1) the date, (2) total receipts for the day, (3) the total payments of the day, (4) the total number of Chalans (in figures and words), (5) the total number of Vouchers (in figures and words), (6) the initials of the Manager or Agent, as the case may be, and (7) the initials of the Collector. It will be written up and forwarded with the daily account to the Collector, (vide paragraph 475), the entries being certified by the initials of the Manager or Agent in the 6th column. The Collector will check receipts and disbursements columns of the daily account, agree their totals with figures entered in the register and examine the vouchers. He will also ensure the correctness of total no. of chalans and vouchers enclosed and after initialling in the 7th column of the register in token of his verification, will return the register to the Manager or Agent the same day or the following morning.

Revenue Receipts

478. Any one who has money to pay on account of government dues will tender the amount at the Bank accompanied by a chalan in triplicate/duplicate, as the case may be, which will be supplied by the department concerned of the Government to the intending depositors with relevant head of account etc., duly filled in. The government servant entrusted with the duty of examining the chalans in each department will, after examination, mark the chalans as "Depositor’s Copy", "Departmental Copy" and "Treasury Copy". After satisfying himself that the chalans are in order, the chalans will be laid before the head of the office or an officer of the department authorized by the head of the office in this behalf to sign the order to the Bank to receive payment in the last column of chalan form. Specimen signatures of such officers should have been previously furnished to the Bank. Thereafter, the chalans will be made over to the intending depositor who will then proceed to the Bank to deposit the money. The "Depositor’s Copy" of the receipted chalan will be returned to the depositor by the Bank. The "Departmental Copy" and the "Treasury Copy" will be sent by the bank to the Treasury with the daily accounts. The Treasury Officer will send the "Departmental Copies" received from the Bank to the departmental officer concerned on the next working day accompanied by a statement of chalan-wise particulars of deposits. Chalans are valid only for a period not exceeding ten days; if they are presented after the allotted time, the money will not be received by the Bank until they are revalidated by the officer who signs the order to the Bank to receive payment.

Notes—(1) Chalans pertaining to deposits under certain heads of accounts need not be signed by the departmental officer vide exceptions below paragraph 32 (iii) of Part I.

It is also prescribed that the Collector must maintain two registers in which to note these orders, viz. a register of chalans issued and a register of orders for payment. The former of these may be worked by departments, the chalans of land revenue being passed and registered by the land revenue department of the Collector’s office, those of excise revenue by the excise department, and so forth.

Separate account for Central and State Governments

504-A. In accordance with the principles described in paragraph 445-A, the branches or agencies of the Bank undertaking cash business of the Treasury at District headquarters, will classify the daily receipts and disbursements on behalf of Government in two groups-Central and State—the latter embracing transactions not only on behalf of the Uttar Pradesh Government, but also on behalf of other States. The Bank will prepare the daily statements of receipts and payments separately for the Central Government and the State Government and send them to the Treasury Officer with supporting vouchers in accordance with paragraph 475. The Agent of the Bank should see that the total receipts and disbursements in respect of Central and State transactions included in the daily statement sent to the Treasury officer agree with the totals as shown in the Bank’s daily schedule forwarded to the Central Accounts Office of the Bank at Nagpur. The net amount of payments only are entered; that is, when a deduction is made from the amount of a bill on account of income-tax, etc., the daily statements of the Bank show only the net amount paid after deduction and not the gross amount of the bill. (See paragraphs 444 and 444-A and B). It is important to note here that such deductions as are creditable to the Central Government made from the bills of the State Government are not taken into the account of the Central Government at the Bank. The necessary entries to be made in the cash accounts of the State and Central Governments are described in paragraph 505-D. The procedure outined above will apply also in the case of the Government transactions undertaken by the Manager, Reserve Bank of India, Kanpur.

Daily Posting of Accounts

505. When the daily account with the chalans and vouchers is received from the Bank, the account will first be examined against the chalans and vouchers which support it. Then the vouchers which have been already approved and registered by the Treasury Officer will first be marked off in the register of chalans issued and of orders for payment (Warrant Register), that is, the date of discharge will be noted against the entries of them in those registers. Then each item of receipt or payment will be posted from the daily account with its chalans and vouchers, into the cash-book, either direct or through some subordinate register, in the same way as is prescribed to be done by the accounts departments of Treasuries the cash business of which is not conducted by the bank.

NOTE—(1) In this process the vouchers must be numbered and arranged according to the register in which they are entered, as the number of the payment order cannot serve also as the number of the voucher in actual accounts.

NOTE—(2) The procedure mentioned in the above paragraph will also apply to the Siaha (Accounts) received from the Sub-Treasuries and also to the paid vouchers and the departmental copies of chalans (where there is such a provision) of the amount deposited at the Sub-Treasuries.

505-A. The Treasury Officer should keep two subsidiary registers of Reserve Bank Deposits, one for the Central Government and another for the State Government, in which he will post the net difference between the total payments and total receipts of each account as shown in the Bank’s daily accounts. The register is provided with three columns to show (1) the date, and (2) the net payments, or (3) the net receipts of the day, and there will be only one entry in column (2) or (3), as the case may be, against each date.

When the total receipts exceed the total payments, the difference will be posted in column (2), and when the total payments exceed the total receipts, the difference will be posted in column (3).

505-B. At the close of the month, the difference between the two columns of each register will be carried into the cash account or list of payments according as the difference represents net drawings from, or net payments into, the Bank during the month on account of the Government concerned and the net credit or debit should be taken to the head, "Deposits with Reserve Bank-Central" or "Deposits with Reserve Bank-State", as the case may be. This procedure will also apply to the transactions of the Sub-Treasuries, cash business of which is conducted by the Bank.

NOTE—(1) The rules laid down in paragraphs 445 A and B, 445E–445H in Chapter XIX apply to the banking treasuries mutatis mutandis.

NOTE—(2) Cheques presented direct at the Bank and paid by transfer credit should be included by the Bank as receipts and disbursements in its account sent to the Treasury. The latter should not treat them as transfer transactions and enter them in the check register of transfer payments.

505-C. Under paragraph 445-A, all officers authorized to pay into or draw money from the Treasury or the Bank should mark all chalans, vouchers, cheques, bills, etc. prominently at the top right-hand corner with the letter ‘C’ or ‘S’ for ‘Central’ or ‘State’, as the case may be. Any omission noted may be rectified before incorporation of the transactions in the Bank’s accounts. Where such omissions cannot be rectified by the Treasury Officer or the Bank, the proper course in dealing with the unclassified bills, etc. is to accept them and classify them as ‘State’ pending adjustment by the Accountant General. This instruction also applies to unclassified instruments for deposit or withdrawal presented at the Bank. Treasury Officers should, however, bring to the notice of the officers concerned any frequent omissions of classifications on bills, chalans, etc.

If any voucher is incorrectly classified by the Bank, no correction in the Bank’s account can be made after an intimation of the transactions has been sent to the Central Accounts Office. The necessary adjustments of such misclassified items will be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 505-D.

505-D. (1) A register in Form no. 50B should be maintained at the Treasuries to note the misclassifications by the Bank. This Form is divided into two parts, viz. (i) Central transactions included in the State Statement, and (ii) State transactions included in the Central Statement so that separate totals may be struck agreeing with the accounts. The total receipts of the first kind should be taken in one lump sum in the Treasury cash-book for State receipts under the head ‘Adjusting Account between Central and State Governments-Misclassifications by the Bank’ and in the Treasury cash-book for Central receipts the misclassified items should be taken under the correct heads of receipts. In addition, a deduct entry under the head ‘Adjusting Account between Central and State Governments-Misclassifications by the Bank’ should be made on the receipts side of the cash-book of the Central transactions corresponding to the total amount taken to the same head in the cash-book of State receipts. In the same way, Central payments wrongly classified by the Bank as ‘State’ will be posted under the appropriate heads in the cash-book of Central payments set off by a deduct entry in lump sum under the head ‘Adjusting Account between Central and State Governments’ while the total amount of such misclassified disbursements will he posted in the cash-book of State payments under the identical head ‘Adjusting Account between Central and State Governments’. Similar postings will be made of the items of State receipts or payments wrongly included in the Central Statement in the Central and State cash-books.

(2) In the cash account and list of payments, the following entries will be made :

The items of receipt pertaining to the Central Government misclassified by the Bank, as State should appear in the State Cash Account against the adjusting head "misclassifications by the Bank". A corresponding entry will also be made in the Central list of payments against the same adjusting head.

In the case of payments entries will be made in the State list of payments, against the adjusting head, and in the Central cash account under the relevant head. Similar entries should be made in the list of payments and the cash account in regard to State transactions misclassified by the Bank as Central.

505-E. The transactions of the Central Government occurring at non-banking Sub-Treasuries of banking Treasuries will be separately intimated to the Accountant General by the Treasury Officer monthly in the form prescribed in paragraph 445-D. For this purpose, a simple register should be maintained by the Treasury Officer in the following Form which will show the daily receipts and disbursements of the Central Government at the various Sub-Treasuries :

FORM

Register of receipts/payments on account of Central Government in Sub-Treasuries in the District of , for the month of ,19

Intimated to the Accountant General on......…….

This register will also enable the Treasury Officer to ascertain the amount of the net receipts and disbursements on account of Central transactions for the purpose of the closing abstract of the Cash Account. (vide paragraph 505F below).

505F. The Receipt and Payment Accounts of the Central and State Governments should be closed on last pages of relevant cash-books, every day in the following form as illustrated by the entries indicated below :
