1. As per Rule 177 of FHB Vol. III Part (I), the amount for unpaid wages should be entered
in the Register of Unpaid Wages and it should be paid by the Cashier of the Disbursing
Officer with the prior approval of AO only. Therefore, the payment done by SDE is not in
order.
2. As per Para 150 of P&T Manual Vol. X, the work should have been commenced before
5 years ie., within the period of currency of sanction. Therefore, fresh sanction for the
above work not needed. The objection raised by an inspecting officer is not in order.
3. The accounts officer is authorized to make such payment and after payment ATD
should be raised to the concerned accounting unit. But this amount should not be
recorded in the Advance Register but in the Remittance Head as note 2 under Rule 125 of
FHB Vol. III Part. II.
4. Action of the authority is not correct as per Rule 168 of FHB Vol. IV. It should be paid
at the end of the month after deducting necessary Income Tax, if any.

a) As per Rule 234 of FHB Vol. I pay and allowances can be drawn for the day of death,
the hour at which the death takes place has no effect on the claim. Day for the purpose
means a calendar day beginning and ending at mid night. Hence the action of AO is not
in order. The pay and allowances of Mr. A for 17.2.94 should also be drawn and paid to
the legal heirs/dependent of Mr. A.
b) As per Rule 182 of FHB Vol. III Part (I), a contractor may be allowed to prefer his own
bill subject to (a) two copies of the bill should be submitted, one is marked as original
and another one is marked as Duplicate; (b) Details of Quantity, Value of each item along
with Rates already approved; and (c) Date of execution or date of supply made. The bill
should be signed by the contractor. Therefore, if the above mentioned conditions
fulfilled then the contractor can submit the bill on his own.
c) Whenever a Railway Administration requested BSNL for the replacement of an

existing wire by a wire of different gauage or metal, such demand should, for the purpose
of recovery of charges be treated as surrender of existing wire and erection of a new line.
Accordingly, compensation for surrender of existing wire is recoverable. Hence if the
Railway Administration agrees to pay the compensation, their request may be accepted.
(Rule 487 of P&T Manual Vol. X)
d) As per Para 499 of P&T Manual Vol X Under Exception to this para, claims in respect
of not exceeding Rs. 500 should be written-off by the SSA. Therefore, the claim preferred
by Telecom Department/BSNL SSA is not in order.
e) As per Rules 130 & 131 of FHB Vol. III (Part. I), no credit is allowed in ACE 2 Accounts.
ACE 2 accounts meant for only the expenditure booking in the nature of Contingent and
Works. Therefore, charges of shift accounted in ACE 2 accounts is not in order.

Money at the disposal of a Divisional Officer is not private money. It is
Government money for which he publicly responsible. He should, therefore, not
only be satisfied himself with the accounts but also should be able to satisfy his
superiors, Audit department and the public at large through the State Legislature
that the accounts have been correctly maintained.
The Main points to be kept in mind in maintaining accounts of public
money by the Divisional Officer are the following:-
(1) That the claim, which has been accepted, is valid; that the voucher is a
complete proof of payment; and the account is correct in all respects.
(2) That the accounts have been so kept and accounts so fully recorded that they
can satisfy any enquiry about economy and bonafides of the transactions.
(3) That the record of payments, record of measurements, and record of
transactions has been so kept that it can be produced as satisfactory and
convincing proof in a
Court of law.
(4) That all transactions of cash, stores, other properties (including rights,
privileges and concessions) which have money value are brought to account.
(5) That a transaction is classified to the head of account to which relates. If that is
not immediately known, it should be kept under Miscellaneous Works Accounts
(if it is a Charge) or Miscellaneous Deposits (if it is a Receipt)

Imprest: - Imprest is a standing advance of a fixed sum of money given to an
individual to enable him to make certain classes of disbursement, which may be
entrusted to his charge. The amount of an imprest is to be kept as low as possible
and in no case should exceed Rs.5,000 without the sanction of Government.
The Account of Imprest Cash is kept by the holder in duplicate in Form 2

Imprest Cash Account. The copy is retained by the Imprest Holder and the
original, along with the paid vouchers, is sent to the Officer from whom the
imprest is held. This account of his imprest should be submitted at the time of
closure of monthly account by the Divisional Officer.
The account of imprest may be closed earlier also if:-

(i) the balance of imprest is small and needs recoupment;or
(ii) increase/decrease the amount of the imprest is proposed, or
(iii)the account of the imprest is to be closed altogether.
The amount spent by the imprest holder out of his imprest is brought to
account by the disbursing officer in his Cash Book, and generally an equivalent
amount is paid to the imprest holder by him so that the amount available with the
imprest holder is again equal to the amount of imprest originally granted.
(Para 6.6.8 and 6.6.9 of C.P.W.A. Code)
TEMPORARY ADVANCE;
When a Disbursing Officer makes a remittance to a subordinate officer to
enable to make specific petty payments on vouchers, which have been already
passed for payment, the amount remitted is treated as a Temporary Advance.
After making payment, the subordinate submits an account of the advance along
with the unspent balance, if any. The following are also treated as Temporary
Advance:-
(i) Money taken out by the Disbursing Officer himself for making disbursement at
outstations when on tour
(ii) Advance on transfer to a Government servant pending drawal of the advance
from the treasury/bank in the normal course. (para 6.6.12 & 18.4.2 and notes in
Form CPWA 1)
Distinction: The distinction between the two is clear. The former is a standing
advance of a fixed sum for making payments left to the charge of a subordinate
While the latter is an advance made temporarily to a subordinate to make a
number of specific petty payments on Muster rolls and Vouchers, which have
already been passed for payment.

3. Annual rent for more than 5 Kms for each Km in excess of 5 Kms Rs. 1500 per
Km.
4. The above rates are standard rates.
5. Kms should be taken only on the basis of actual distance. If actual distance is
not available then the radial distance will be deemed to be the actual distance.
6. Distance should be round figure of next higher integer.
7. When we are having the capital cost of actual expenditure, then the
proportionate charges for additional KMs beyond 5 Kms will be taken and capital
cost will be worked out.
8. Minimum period of hire shall be worked on capital cost without Establishment
and Store keeping charges divided by standard rent ie., Rs. 1500 per Km.
9. Rent shall be calculated as 15% of the capital cost.
10. The standard rent ie., Rs. 1500 Kms for each additional beyond 5 Kms or the
rent calculated on the above basis whichever is higher will be taken into account
for charging the rent.
11. Suppose if we are not having the actual expenditure, then 30% will be added
to find out the capital cost.
12. However after 01.08.1988, only standard rates are taken as per the DOT letter
no. 4-31/86 N(Pt) dated 17.06.1988.
13. Minimum guarantee period is 3 year as per ITR 434 Section XII.
14. Service Tax shall be levied with effect from 01.04.1994 @ 5% and afterwards at

Problem : 2
Calculate the rent and guarantee period for a PCO extension from a PCO from the
following data:
251
1. Extension Provided on 01.05.1993 2. Radial Distance 5 Kms 3. Actual
distance 5.5 Kms
4. Actual cost of line and wires during 1992-93 : Cash Rs. 3520 and Stores Rs.
35200 (Freight @ 2%, Estt @ 10% and SKC @ 5%)
Solution : 2
Actual Distance 5.5 Kms Say 6 Kms. Upto Kms only Standard rental and in
excess only rent at Capital cost or standard rent whichever is higher.
Proportionate expenditure : Cash 3520 x1/11 Rs. 320.00
Proportionate expenditure : Stores 35200 x 1/11 Rs. 3200.00
Freight @ 2% Rs. 640.00
Establishment @ 10% on Rs. 4160 Rs. 416.00
SKV @ 5% on stores Rs. 160.00
Total capital cost Rs. 4736.00
Rent @ 15% on capital cost basis Rs. 710.40 Say Rs. 710 or at the standard rate
Rs. 1500 -- whichever is higher.
Guarantee Period = Rs. 4160/15 = 2.7 years say 3 years.
Therefore, annual rent is (300+1000+1500) = Rs. 2800 and Minimum Period of Hire
is 3 Years.
Problem : 3
A departmental exchange connection was given on 01.08.1993 from a flat rate
telephone exchange of less than 100 lines capacity having 24 hour service.
Annual rental for local area is Rs. 750. Actual distance of the connection was 8
Kms beyond local area. The cost of the construction of line beyond local area
was as follows:
Cash Rs. 1600 Stores (Lines and Wires) Rs. 6400.
Calculate the annual rental and fix the guarantee based on the following data:
Freight @ 2% Estt @ 10% SKC @ 5%.
Solution : 3
(With effect from 01.08.1988 rental for all departmental exchange telephone
connections irrespective of their actual distance beyond local area are to be
charged on flat rate basis and not on capital cost basis. However if the telephone
connection is provided with new construction beyond 10 Kms from the local area
the period of guarantee is 3 Years. For distance in excess of 10 Kms from local
area standard rate is Rs. 1500 per Km per annum with the guarantee period of 3
years.)
Since the connection after 01.08.1988, the calculation is based on the following
only:
Flat rate telephone exchange of less than 100 lines having 24 hours of service:
Annual rent for local area Rs. 750.00
8 Km beyond local area (Rs. 600x5 + Rs. 800 x3) Rs.5400.00
Total rental per annum Rs.6150.00

Service Tax @ 5% Rs. 590
Total amount recoverable Rs. 12390
V. RENT AND GUARANTEE: (CABLE PAIRS SUPPLIED)
1. Normally rent is calculated on percentage basis of the total capital cost. The
percentage shall be for Interest @ 13%, for Depreciation @ 10%, for Maintenance
@ 1% and for profit margin of 10% on interest+depreciation+maintenance
(13+10+1) ie., 2.4% and therefore rent shall be 26.4% of the total capital. However
interest rate shall be changed year after year and upto 31.03.97 it was 13%, from
01.04.97 to 31.03.2000 it was 15% and from 01.04.2000 it is 14%.

Here in the question lot of ambuquity about the bill date and outstanding amount
etc are there. Therefore following assumptions are taken:
1. In the bill dated 01.05.1993 and 01.07.1993, party has paid the rental charges
and only call charges are outstanding.
2. With regard to 01.09.1993 bill, nothing is mentioned and therefore, it is taken as
rent claimed and paid by the subscriber.
3. Even though LCC meter reading statement OMR and CMR does not reflect the
exact billing schedule, we may take this as it is and claim as outstanding.
Debits:
Local call charges:

bills payable as under:
Solution : 2
Date of Deposit : 01.10.2000 Date of Provision : 01.06.2001 Amount of Deposit :
Rs. 15000
Waiting charges @ 8.5% from 01.10.2000 to 31.05.2001 : 15000x8.5/100x8/12
Rs. 850.00
Additional Waiting Charges @ 3% from 01.04.2001 to 31.05.2001 :

Total Amount credit to be given to the subscriber
Rs. 925.00
Since the connection is worked less than 5 years, maximum refund is allowed Rs.
11250 only ie., th of Rs. 15000.
Therefore total credit available with the subscriber is (925+11250) Rs. 12175.00
Rent for 01.06.2001 to 30.10.2001 : (Rs. 500-120 = 380 per bi-month)= (190x5)=

Calculation of Interest during construction period from July 1995 to May 1997:
Interest for July 95 : (0+62495)2x1/12x12/100 = Rs. 312.48
Interest for Aug 95 to Mar 96 : (62495+62495)/2x8/12x12/100 = Rs. 4999.60
Total Interest for the year 1995 -96 : Rs. 5312.08 Say Rs. 5312.00
Interest for April 96 : (62495+62495+48652)/2x1/12x12/100 = Rs. 868.21

Total Interest for the year 1997-98 : Rs. 2294.06 Say Rs. 2294.00
Total interest on capital outlay = Rs. 20700.00
Therefore an amount of Rs. 20700.00 only is recoverable from Railway Department.
[Note: As the line was handed over on 10.06.97, rent will be recoverable w.e.f. 01.06.97

and therefore, the rent is chargeable only from 01.05.99 and hence, interest is
recoverable up to 30.04.99)
Interest for Dec 97 : (0+576050)/2 x1/12 x10/100 = Rs. 2400.21
Interest for Jan 98 : (576050+576050+21400)/2 x1/12 x10/100 = Rs. 4889.50

Total Interest for 1999-2000 Rs. 5240.00 Say Rs. 6240
Total Interest recoverable from State Government : Rs. 83837.00
Solution : 10
If the asset is handed over on or before 15th of the month rent will be calculated from the
1st day of that month. So interest will be recovered upto March 99 instead of April 99 and
the amount of interest will be Rs. 78597.

Rule 51 of FHB Vol. III Part I. So action is not in order.

excess instead of referring the matter to the head of the circle.
18. The standard rate of imported stores include cost of stores plus customs
duty, freight and other charges on percentage basis. The difference between the
