APPENDIX   D

Instructions for the proper maintenance of land revenue accounts

1. (a)            Financial Commissioners Office letter No.3098-A, dated the  24th July, 1941 addressed to all Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners required that a “Day Book” should be maintained by the Tehsil Wasil Baqi Navis in accordance with paragraph 18 of Financial Commissioners Standing Order No.14 and sub-para (a) of paragraph 79 of the Sub-Treasury Manual in the form convenient for each district.  The “Day Book” is essential in order to ascertain whether all the accounts of land revenue, etc., received on any particular date, have been property incorporated in the relevant village khataunis.  If this is not being done already, a register should not be opened showing details of each dakhila by which payment is made in the Sub-Treasury.  At the end of the day all the columns of the Day Book should be totalled and compared with totals of the Sub-Treasury Register.  The Treasury Official should sign the Day Book in token of this comparison.  In this behalf, paragraph 85(b) of the Sub-Treasury Manual may be consulted.

(b)            At the headquarters Tehsil the Day Book (Tahrij) should be completed with the dakhila received in the locked box from the Sadr Treasury.  After making the relevant entries in the khataunis, the Goshwara, vide paragraph 18(b) of the Sub-Treasury Manual should be prepared and signed by the Wasil Baqi Navis and returned to the Sadr Treasury.  The Treasury Receipt Clerk should make comparison with the entries of his register and sign the Goshwara in token of his having done so.  If any discrepancy is discovered, it should be rectified at once.

(c)            After the dakhilas have been entered in the relevant khataunis, the entries in the Day Book should be compared with the khataunis and initialled by the Wasil Baqi Navis in token of this comparison.  This will safeguard against mistakes due to misplacement of any dakhila.

(i)         The Tehsildar/Naib-Tehsildar should check the Day Book regularly every week in a consecutive order from 1st October to 30th September, next;

(ii)                After having checked every collection entry in the khatauni from the original  Treasury Chalan, Tehsildar/Naib tehsildar will also compare it with the Day Book, and then initial the recovery posting in the khatauni.

(iii)              He should also record a certificate in the following form:-“Weekly certificate from______________to_______________ Certified that I have checked the entries made in the Day Book and khataunis with the original Treasury Chalans for the period mentioned above and found correct Postings in the khataunis have been compared and initialled.  Wasil Baqi Navis initialled every entry in Day Book after posting in the khataunis.

Tehsildar/Naib-Tehsildar.”

2.          At the end of each agricultural year various columns of the khataunis  should be carefully totalled in order to find out the total receipts, balances and excess recoveries under each head. The last column of total is not generally totalled. This should be done in future and the totals of all other columns tallied with the grand total worked out by totalling  the last column.

3.         At present the balances of previous years are grouped together and the village khataunis do not show the year wise detail of old arrears. The existing forms of the khatauni and the Tauzi clearly suggest yearwise details of old balances.  Hence the balances relating to the year prior to 1944-45 should remain grouped together as before.  The balances of the future years should, however, be kept apart from the previous balances  and carried over separately in the new khataunis to be started every year in October.  Balances of future years will be kept separately in the khataunis to be prepared in due course.  This does not mean that the total of the balances of the previous year is not required.  After giving yearwise details the total should be worked out and entered below in order to find out the total arrears due from each estate.

 

4.         As required by paragraph 33 of this Standing Order, all village demands, which are to be realized through  Lambardars, should  invariably be entered in khataunis, so that the Tehsildar or the Wasil Baqi Navis  could at once see the total demand of the village.

                                   

5.         In order to verify the correctness of the accounts, it is essential that at the end of September each year, a village-wise statement of balances (baqaya and fazla) should made out and pasted at the end of the khatauni.  With the help of this statement, the Tehsil Wasil Baqi Navis should satisfy himself of the correctness of his accounts.  A copy of the statement should also be sent  to the Sadr along with the Tauzi for the month of September to enable the Sadr Wasil Baqi Navis to check the Tauzi figures.

 

6.         While auditing the Tehsil accounts the District Revenue Accountant should check cent per cent demand entries of the village khataunis by comparison with kishtbandi statement showing demands of mutation fees, copying and inspection fee of patwaris records, water rate, etc.  He should also see that the balances worked out in the previous years’ khataunis are correctly brought forward in the khataunis of the current year.  He should at the same time check at least 15 per cent of the entries relating to recoveries shown in the khatauni with Dakhilas and Day Book.

Proceedings of the Hon’ble the Lieutenant Governor in the Financial Department.—No.1531, dated 6th August, 1889

Resolution:     By the Punjab Government’s Resolution No.299, dated 5th February, 1876, as amended by Circular No.1442, dated 23rd April  1879, a collecting officer and a controlling authority were appointed in respect of each item of income in the accounts of the Provincial Services, the General Local Fund and the Police General Fund. The collecting officer was to be responsible for seeing that all income claimable was duly claimed, realized and paid into the Treasury; and to this end he was to be supplied by the Accountant-General at the beginning of each year with a statement of the estimated receipts of the year under each head for which he was responsible.  The duty of the controlling authority was, generally, to check and supervise the Collector and, by comparing monthly statements of treasury credits supplied by the Accountant-General with returns of realizations submitted by the collecting officer, to satisfy himself that all collections had been duly paid into the Treasury.  Each controlling authority was to submit to Government at the end of each year statement, of the receipts and charges of the Provincial Services for that year, in which the facts of the year were to be compared with the estimates and with the facts of the preceding year.  Lastly the Accountant General was to supply the Government with a monthly variation statement comparing the receipts and charges of the Provincial Services and Local Funds during each month and during the year upto date with the estimates of the year and the realization of the previous year for the same periods.

 

2.         Punjab Government’s Nos. 1095 and 1097 dated 19th April, 1880: - Apart from the procedure above described, which related only to the Provincial Services of the scheme of decentralization in force before 1877-78 and to the General Local and Police General Funds, rules existed in the Account Codes of the Government of India providing for (1) a monthly comparison of treasury statements of revenue under nearly all the heads of account, whether Imperial or Provincial, not covered by the Local Government’s Orders of 1876, with returns submitted by collecting officers; and (2) in the case of some items of the nature of fixed recoveries, for the maintenance of demand registers in the Accountant-General’s Office.  And in consequence of enquiries instituted by the Government of India the same system was by the orders marginally noted extended to a few heads of receipt which had previously not been subject to it.

 

3.         These arrangements have continued up to the present time, and are, the Lieutenant-Governor understands, sufficient for the main purpose in view.  Various causes have, however, rendered the Resolution of the 5th February 1876 somewhat obsolete, though not practically inoperative.  The General Local Fund and the Police General Fund have ceased to exist as separate accounts; a revised scheme of decentralization has been introduced; and several alterations have been made within the last few years in the method exhibiting the major and minor heads of account.  During the same period the Government of India has again pressed upon Local Governments the necessity of arrangements for securing the due realization of all revenue and receipts of Government and their proper entry in the accounts.  A revision of the existing orders on the subject has accordingly been, for some time past, considered by the Local Government a matter of some importance.  In view, however, of the extended scheme of Provincial Services, which was adopted in 1882-83, and of the recent transfers of income and expenditure to Local Bodies, the matter has been allowed to remain pending up to the present time.  These transfers having, however, been practically completed for the present, it is now possible to revise the existing orders under which Treasury Accounts are compared with Departmental Returns for the purpose of securing the due realization of the revenue and receipts of Government in the Province.

 

4.         In the first place, the Lieutenant Governor is pleased to order the discontinuance as a separate return of the variation statement referred to in the first paragraph of this Resolution.  The statement provides for a comparison of current actuals with the current estimates and the actuals of the previous year, but as the Government is supplied every month with separate returns of the current Provincial and Local Accounts compared with the proportionate estimates and grants, the whole purpose of the variation statement can be secured by providing extra columns in these returns for the exhibition of the actuals of the previous year.  The Accountant General has agreed to this and in future therefore the monthly accounts of Provincial Services and Local Funds submitted by him to the Local Government will be prepared in the Forms A and B annexed, and the variation statement will not be submitted at all.

 

5.         In the second place, the Lieutenant-Governor is advised that the annual statements of Provincial income and expenditure which Heads of Departments have hitherto been required to submit to the Local Government are not really necessary, and His Honour is, therefore, pleased to cancel the orders prescribing the returns contained in Circular No. 1442, dated  the 23rd April, 1879.  In order, however, that the Local Government may satisfy itself periodically that the system of check prescribed in the following paragraphs is being properly carried out, the Lieutenant-Governor directs that each controlling officer shall certify annually to Government, either in his Annual Report or, in the case of receipts which are not dealt within annual Reports by a separate letter, that the comparison of Departmental Returns received from collecting officers with the Treasury statements supplied by the Accountant-General has been completely carried out for the year previous in respect of all heads of income for which he is responsible, that all differences have been reconciled, and that all sums due have, as far as possible, been realized and have been duly paid into the treasury. A paragraph should also be added to the Annual Reports comparing and reconciling the Departmental Accounts of revenue, and, in the case of the Jail, Police, and Education Departments, of expenditure also, with the accounts of the same kept in the Accountant-General’s Office.

 

6.         Thirdly, the appended revised list C, showing the collecting officer and controlling authority appointed by Government for each item of the Imperial and Provincial Revenue(except Forest and Public Works Department receipts, in regard to which other arrangements exist) of the Province, is substituted for the list  appended to the Punjab Government’s Resolution No.299, dated the 5th February, 1876.  As explained in that Resolution, the duty of the collecting officer is to see that all income claimable is claimed, realized and paid into the treasury, and the duty of the controlling authority is to supervise the proceedings of the collecting officers and in particular to satisfy himself, by comparison of returns submitted by collecting officers with statements of treasury credits furnished by the Accountant-General, that the amounts reported as collected above have been duly credited in the accounts.

 

7.         Except where a different procedure on the use of other forms are indicated by the foot-notes in list C, the controlling authorities shall, for the purposes just mentioned, be furnished monthly by the collecting officers with returns in the Form D annexed of estimated and actual collections under the heads for which they are responsible and by the Accountant-General with statements showing for each district the amounts credited under the same heads in the Treasury Accounts.  The Accountant-General will at the commencement of each year furnish collecting officers with the estimates of the year.

 

8.         The Lieutenant-General desires that controlling authorities will bear in mind that, while the Accounts Department of the Government is responsible for correct rendering of the accounts of all sums actually paid into the treasury and credited to Government, that Department is not responsible for correctness of the demand and the correspondence of the amount that ought to be paid into the treasury with the amount actually realized.  It should also be remembered that it is essential that the Departmental returns submitted to controlling officers must not be compiled from returns prepared in the treasury.  The Lieutenant Governor especially desires that this caution may be carefully observed. Deputy Commissioners, and collecting officers generally, should personally satisfy themselves that their Departmental Returns are prepared absolutely independently of the Treasury Registers, and when for any reason it becomes necessary to compare Departmental returns of revenue or receipts with the Treasury Registers locally, the comparison  should only be made by the express order of the Deputy Commissioner or other collecting officer and the Treasury Officer.

 

9.            Experience has shown that the principal causes of discrepancies between  Departmental Returns and Treasury Accounts are, besides the want of sufficient care in the preparation of the former, (1) breach of the rule which requires that collections should at once be paid into the treasury and should on no account be utilized for expenditure,  (2) differences of practice in stating the periods to which returns relate, and (3) mistake of classification.

Taking together the first two special causes of discrepancies above noted together, collecting officers should carefully bear in mind that collections must not, on any account whatever, be kept out of the treasury, but should be paid into the treasury on the actual date of receipt, funds to meet authorized charges connected with such collections being drawn separately from the treasury on a proper voucher.  When, however, for any reason, whether in consequence of neglect or otherwise, money realized in one month is not paid into the treasury till the following month, or has been drawn upon wholly or in part to meet authorized charges, the facts should be distinctly stated in the Departmental Returns for the month of realization in order that the controlling officer may understand the reason for the short credit in the Treasury Accounts.  It should also be observed that the Departmental Returns for each month must deal only with the amounts realized in the month without reference to the period to which the realization relates.  Thus it may happen that income due in April of any year is not realized until July.  In such a case the income should appear in the Departmental Accounts of July, not in those of April.  In other words the departmental returns of each month should be closed with the last day of the month to which they relate, and, having been once closed, should not be added to or altered in any way whatever.  As regards sub-treasuries, the orders contained in Chapter 17, Rule 24, of the Civil Account Code, regarding the formal closing of the accounts for the month, should be carefully borne in mind.

 

10.       In regard to mistakes of classification the same principles should apply.  If the mistake is discovered before submission of the Departmental Return to the controlling officer the return may be corrected, intimation being at the same time sent to the Treasury Department in order that the wrong classification in the treasury books may be corrected. When, however, the mistake is discovered after submission of a Departmental Return, the  correction should be made by a foot-note in the next return clearly explaining the mistake, and intimation should also be sent to the treasury.  As regards the Treasury Department, all errors of classification, whether originating in the treasury or otherwise, are separately reported to the Accountant-General under standing orders.  The Accountant-General will, therefore, be able to arrange to forward monthly to controlling officers along with the Treasury Returns a statement showing clearly all such corrections reported to his office, and also all additions to the Treasury Accounts of revenue and receipts, such as cash recoveries of expenditure added to revenue instead of being deducted from charges, which are made by adjustment in his office. This will be done in future and will enable controlling officers to exercise an immediate and thorough check overall departmental returns submitted to them.

 

11.       Care should also be taken that the classification of the Departmental Returns is in strict accordance with that shown in Appendix C of this Resolution in order that it may agree with that of the Treasury Accounts.  It should also be borne in mind that the budget estimates and grants of a year are those which receive the approval of the Government of India, and which are communicated to Heads of Departments by the Accountant General, and not those budget estimates which Heads of Departments submit to the Accountant-General.  Much confusion has arisen in the past from the mistaken notion of officer as to what are the estimates and grants for any year; some officers being still under  the impression that the grants and estimates, proposed originally by themselves and not those finally sanctioned by the Government of India, were the estimates with which the actual receipts and charges of the year had to be compared.  In order that no such mistakes may arise in future, the Accountant General will arrange—if this is not already done—to supply controlling officers with a copy of the sanctioned budget estimates of the Departments over which they exercise control, and in all comparisons or references these estimates should alone be referred to.

 

12.       It will be observed that the above orders regarding the comparison of Departmental with Treasury Returns relate to revenue and receipts only.  No such systematic check has been maintained in respect to expenditure.  In view, however, of orders passed by the Government of India, the Lieutenant Governor is of opinion that, while it is not for the present, at any rate, necessary to institute any such comparison in respect to all expenditure, circumstances have shown that such a comparison should be prescribed for the expenditure of the Jail, Police and Education Departments.  The Heads of these Departments should, in future, be supplied by the Accountant-General monthly with statements showing under the various heads of account the amounts  disbursed to the several officers in their Departments on salary, contingent and other bills, and separately the amounts debited by adjustment in the Accountant-General’s office against the Budget grants of the Departmental.  These statements should be compared with Departmental Returns, which should be submitted to the Heads of the Jail, Police and Educational Department by their own officers, and, so far as they apply, the directions of Government in regard to the preparation and comparison of Revenue Returns and Accounts should be carefully observed in dealing with the preparation and comparison of returns and accounts of expenditure.

 

13.       In conclusion, it may be explained that, pending the orders of Government on a comprehensive scheme for the regulation and audit of Local Funds Accounts, the question of the comparison of the revenue and receipts of Local Funds is omitted from the present orders.
