INSTRUCTIONS
1. The retention period specified in Column (4), in the case of a file, is to be reckoned form the year in which
the file is closed (i.e., action thereon has been completed) and not necessarily from the year in which it is
recorded.
2. In the case of records other than files, e.g., registers, the prescribed retention period will be counted from the
year in which it has ceased to be current.
3. In exceptional cases, a record may be retained for a period longer than that specified in the schedule, if it
has certain special features or such a course is warranted by the peculiar needs of the department. In no
case, however, will a record be retained for a period shorter than that prescribed in the schedule.
4. If a record is required in connection with the disposal of another record, the former will not be weeded out
until after all the issues raised in the latter have been finally decided, even though the retention period
marked on the former may have expired in the meantime. In fact, the retention periods initially marked on
such records should be consciously reviewed and, where necessary, revised suitably.
NOTES.-
(1) Before any pay bills/pay registers are destroyed, the service of the Government servants concerned
should be verified under Rule257in accordance(1) with .
(2) The periods of preservation of account records in Public Works Offices are prescribed separately by
Government.
(3) Where a minimum period after which any record may be destroyed has been prescribed, the Head of a
Department or any other authority empowered by him to do so, may order in writing the destruction of
such record in their own and subordinate offices on the expiry of that period counting from the last day
of the latest financial year covered by the record.
(4) Heads of Departments shall be competent to sanction the destruction of such other records in their own
and subordinate offices as may be considered useless, but a list of such records as property appertain
to the accounts audited by the Indian Audit and Accounts Departments shall be forwarded to the Audit
Officer and or the Accounts Officers, as the case may be, for his concurrence in their destruction before
the destruction is ordered by the Head of Department.
(5) Full details shall be maintained permanently, in each office, of all records destroyed from time to time.

Note – The principle to be adopted in respect of files having financial implications and hence liable to be called by
audit for inspection is that such files should be retained for a period of five years after they have been recorded. If, at
any time during the period of five years, an audit objection having reference to the transaction dealt with in that file
arises, is received, the file will not be destroyed until after the audit objection has been settled to the satisfaction of
the audit. Also, if local audit does not take place within the period of five years, the Head of the Office should
ascertain from the audit authorities whether they have any objection to the files relating to the earlier years, due for
weeding out by the application of the five year formula, being destroyed or retained for a further period for scrutiny
by the audit party and, if so, for what period.
While records may be reviewed and weeded out at periodical intervals in the light of the retention periods prescribed
to avoid their build-up, the attempt should be to make a continuous and conscious effort throughout the year to
weed out unnecessary records. In other words, the working rules should be “weed as you go”.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The retention period specified in Column (4) in the case of a file, is to be reckoned from the year in which the file
is closed (i.e., action thereon has been completed) and not necessarily from the year in which it is recorded.
2. In the case of records other than files, e.g., registers, the prescribed retention period will be counted from the
year in which it has ceased to be current.
3. In exceptional cases, a record may be retained for a period longer than that specified in the Schedule, if it has
certain special features or such a course is warranted by the peculiar needs of the Department. In no case,
however, will a record be retained for a period shorter than that prescribed in the schedule.
4. If a record is required in connection with the disposal of another record, the former will not be weeded out until
after all the issues raised on the latter have been finally decided, even though the retention period marked on
the former may have expired in the meantime. In fact, the retention periods initially marked on such records

[See Rule 61 and Rule 69]
The pre-check to be applied to all payments by the departmentalized Accounts Officers includes a check against
provision of funds also. It is an important part of the functions of the Accounts Office to see that no payment is made
in excess of the budget allotment. In order to exercise an effective check in this behalf, a separate register (DDO-
wise Bill Passing-cum-Expenditure Control Register –Form CAM –9) should be maintained in the Accounts Officer
for each Drawing Officer and by sub-heads and units of appropriation so as to ensure at the time of passing each
bill that the amount of the bill under check is covered by Budget allotment. If the amount of any bill leads to excess
over the Budget allotment or is not covered by an advance from the Contingency Fund, the Accounts Officer should
decline payment under advice to the authority controlling the grant so that the latter could arrange for additional
funds. An Appropriation Audit Register (Form CAM – 62) shall be maintained.
NOTE. – In cases where payment of a bill/claim would lead to excess over the provision under any unit of
appropriation the payment may be made by the Pay and Accounts Office only on receipt of an assurance in writing
from the Ministry/Head of Department controlling the grant that the expenditure involved is not on a New Service,
or New Instrument of Service; that necessary funds to accommodate the expenditure will be provided for in time by
issue of re- appropriation order, etc., that a note to the effect has been kept for further action, and that the grant as a
whole (i.e., separately under Revenue and Capital Sections) is not likely to be exceeded. This applies in respect of
any new item of expenditure, provision for which does not exist in the Budget (as distinct from expenditure on “New
Service” or “New Instrument Service” not provided in the Budget) as well as in cases where the existing provisions is
not sufficient to cover the payments. In case of an urgent requirement of expenditure attracting the
provisions of New Service/New Instruments of Service and thereby supplementary demands through the
approval of Parliament, the same should be referred to Ministry of Finance. The excess expenditure in
such cases can be allowed by the concerned Financial Advisers only on the specific approval of Secretary
(Expenditure) that the necessary funds will be made available through the next batch of supplementary
demands for grant.
If such a contingency in regard to inevitable payment of a bill should arise towards the close of financial year and the
grant as a whole is likely to get exceeded thereby, order of the FA on behalf of the Chief Accounting Authority would
have to be sought.
In case the additional funds required are to be made available merely by reallocation (and not by re- appropriation)
of savings, if any, under the same sub-head of appropriation, the related claim will be passed for payment only after
additional funds therefor are allocated in writing by the Controlling Officer.

[ See Rule 225 (viii) (b) ]
The formula for Price Variation should ordinarily include a fixed element, a material element and a labour element.
The figures representing the material element and the labour element should reflect the corresponding proportion
of input costs, while the fixed element may range from 10 to 25%. That portion of the price represented by the fixed
element will not be subject to variation. The portions of the price represented by the material element and labour
element alone will attract Price variation. The formula for Price variation will thus be :
P1 = P0 F+a M1 + b L1 - P0
M0 L0
Where P1 is the adjustment amount payable to the supplier (a minus figure will indicate a reduction in the Contract
Price)
P0 is the Contract Price at the base level.
F is the Fixed element not subject to Price variation.
a is the assigned percentage to the material element in the Contract price.
b is the assigned percentage to the labour element in the Contract Price.
L0 and L1 are the wage indices at the base month and year and at the month and year of calculation respectively. M0
and M1 are the material indices at the base month and year and at the month and year of calculation respectively.
If more than one major item of material is involved, the material element can be broken up into two or three
components such as Mx, My &Mz. Where price variation clause has to be provided for services (with insignificant
inputs of materials) as for example in getting Technical assistance normally paid in the form of per diem rates, the
price variation formula should have only two elements viz. a high fixed element and a labour element. The fixed
element can in such cases be 50% or more, depending on the mark-up by the supplier of the Periderm rate vis-à-vis
the wage rates.
