Please refer to the DO letter u/r (enclosed) wherein the issue of non / irregular receipt of rent/allied charges statements from AAOs BSOs & AOs/AAOs GEs across all commands has been raised by the PCDA (AF) New Delhi.
The non/irregular floating & late receipt of Rent & Allied Charges by the offices-in-charge has resulted in non-recovery of Govt. dues and incorrect assessment of the demand in r/o officers under posting / superannuation.
In this regard, please refer to CGDA letter no. PRO/AT/MES/203 dated 14/12/1984, wherein it has been explicitly mentioned that AAOs BSOs/ AOs/ GEs should forward the quarterly statement of water and electricity charges by 17th January, 17th April, 17th July and 17th October covering the period for preceding quarter ending 31st Dec, 31St March, 30th June and 30th Sept respectively.
The undue delay in the floating and receipt of Rent & Allied charges is causing recurring loss to the state, and hence it is obligatory on the part of the AAOs BSOs and A0s/ AAOs GEs to adhere to the time frame outlined in the above mentioned CGDA letter in the realization of Rent & Allied Charges.
