and of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, and
such orders as may from time to time be given to
the Bank by the Govt concerned.

of the State Govts are maintained at the State

render them monthly to the Accountant-General

arithmetical accuracy, correctness of the classification,
comparison of signature of DDO with specimen signature
on record with treasury, identification of the payee,
conformity with the authority, completeness of the bill with
supporting schedules in respect of recoveries, etc.
• The Bills/cheques are then passed for payment and sent to
the bank which makes the payment for the amounts as
passed by the treasury after identification of the payee.
 Action by Bank.
• The Bank which receives the money and makes
payments, sends a scroll daily of the receipt and
payment transactions occurring there to the
corresponding treasury along with the supporting
