Sub:- Extending the validity of full/half sets of Privilege Passes, Post Retirement Complimentary Passes, Widow Passes and Privilege Ticket Orders (PTOs).

   Instructions were issued vide Board’s letter of even number dated 10-7-2008 raising the validity period of half set of Privilege/Post Retirement Complimentary /Widow Passes to four months from the date of issue as in the case of full set passes. Further, in terms of instructions issued vide Board’s letter No. E(W)2010/ PS 5-17/1 dated 3-6-2011, Privilege Pass/PTO/Post Retirement Complimentary Pass in the next year’s account should not be issued more than 100 days in advance of beginning of the next year.

   2. Consequent upon the decision of the Board to enhance the period of advance reservation from 90 days to 120 days vide Commercial Circular No. 12 of 2012 dated 6-02-2012, the issue regarding enhancing the validity period of passes and PTOs was under examination in Board’s Office with a view to facilitate securing confirmed reservations on such Passes and PTOs. After careful consideration by Board, it has been decided that the validity period of full/half sets of Privilege/Post Retirement Complimentary/Widow Passes and PTOs shall be one month more than the Advance Reservation Period, in general.

Budget Branch

No. 1 – F.B.

 

Kolkata,
The 3rd January, 2011

MEMORANDUM

Sub:- Regarding Detailed head for consolidated pay or remuneration paid to a contracted person.

   It is observed that for making payment of consolidated pay or remuneration to the contracted persons, some departments are treating such payment differently. In some cases it is incurred under detailed / sub-detailed heads “01-01” whereas in some cases it is incurred under detailed head ‘02’ and in the rest cases it is incurred under detailed / sub-detailed head ’31-01’. Such bookings may lead to improper accounting as well as confusion.

   In view of the above circumstances, the undersigned is directed by order of the Governor to say that for general contractual payment, the charge will be debitable to the detailed head “02-Wages”, whereas for payment towards professional and Special Services, the charge will be debitable under '28-Payment of Professional and Special Services-02-Other Charges’ subordinate to concerned major / sub-major / minor / sub-head to avoid further irregularities, with immediate effect.
