Subject: POWERS TO SANCTION EXPENDITURE ON PURCHASE OF STORES FROM GOVT. CONTROLLED PRODUCTION / SUPPLY UNITS AND
PURCHASE ON RATE CONTRACT.
Sir,
There has been a lot of confusion regarding sanctioning/purchases powers of different field officers in respect of purchase from Govt. controlled production/ supply units like M.S.D., Govt. Weaving Centre, Shahdara, Govt. Weaving Centre, Shahdara, Govt. Woolen Centre, Jhang, Units of Punjab Small Industries Corporation, etc. Because of ambiguity, a large number of audit paras have been raised in the recent past resulting into an influx of numerous cases in Finance Department for regularization of such purchases.
2. The matter has been examined in the Finance Deptt. and it has been decided that all field officers, irrespective of their category, would be competent to make purchases from Govt. controlled production units, subject to the following conditions: -
a) The purchases would be made subject to clear availability of budget specifically meant for the purpose and the DDO will be bound to certify availability of specific budget in the relevant head of account while issuing sanction for the expenditure and payment will be made through Bank draft / pay order / Book adjustment as the case may be.
b) The purchase should be reasonably rationalized to be made into 3-4 installments spread over the whole year.
3. Similarly, for making purchases of the items from the firms with which rate contract has been entered into by the competent authority, every DDO would be competent to make purchases according to his requirement subject, again, to clear availability of specific budget in the relevant head of account and rate contract entered into with the respective firms by the competent authority other conditions for internal controls imposed from time to time by government will remain applicable. The DDOs, while issuing sanctions, will mention the No. and date of order of rate contract for the items concerned.
4. Instructions may kindly be issued to all DDOs under your administrative control to abide by the above instructions and also to fulfill all other codal formalities before making purchases.
Your obedient servant,
Sd/-
