• State Implementation Society is required to deposit the grants received from Government of India and
State Governments and any other receipts into a joint signatory Savings Bank Account in any nationalised or scheduled bank.
• Society needs to prepare a Cash Book on daily basis recording the receipts and payments. There should be columns for cash and bank on both the sides of the cash book.

Statement every month in respect of each Savings

Civil fund amounting to Rs.11.00 lakhs was transferred to
SMCs bank A/c’s under Dibrugarh District from SPOs bank A/c in the month of Jan . Instead of crediting the same into the SMC bank A/c’s , the district bank branch has credited the amount to DPO bank A/c. The Cashier of the DPO also missed out the same amount while writing Cash Book, as it was directly transferred from
SPO. The matter was traced only at the end of March while preparing BRS for the last quarter. Thus the corrective measures could be taken only at the end of
March .
results …………….
 Such type of critical situation arises if we donot prepare BRS on regular basis.
 Fund was lying ideal for 3 months.
