Reduction in provision was the net effect of decrease of
`
2,24.61 lakh and an
increase of
`
2,24.02 lakh. Specific reasons for reduction in provision as well as for
increase and reasons for final saving have not been intimated (August 2013).
As the expenditure fell short of even the original provision, the supplementary provision of
`
6.00 lakh obtained inMarch 2013 proved unnecessary.
(iv)
Subsidy on Rice
: The Commissioner of Civil Supplies was authorized to operate
Personal Deposit Account within the grant and draw cheques debitable to ‘MH 3456 Civil
Supplies - Mh 103 Consumer Subsidies - SH(04) Subsidy on Rice - 320 Suspense / 321
Purchases - Debits (430 Suspense / 431 Purchases Debits as per revised object heads)’. The
balance in the Personal Deposit Account would be periodically recouped on submission of
detailed adjustment bills for the cheques drawn and the adjustment of expenditure carried out by
debit to final head “SH(04) Subsidy on Rice - 090 Grants-in-Aid’ by contra credit to ‘320
Suspense – 322 Purchases Credits’ under the same subhead (310 Grants-in-Aid by contra
credit to 430 Suspense as per revised object heads).
The operation of suspense under the ‘MH3456Civil Supplies’ was in existence till the end
of year 1989-90.
However, the Government in March 1990 issued orders to the Commissioner of Civil
Supplies to debit the expenditure on account of subsidy directly to the ‘SH(04) Subsidy onRice'
under 'MH 3456 Civil Supplies’. Consequently, the operation of ‘Suspense’was discontinued
from1990-1991 accounts. The provision of Funds was made under “MH 3456 Civil Supplies
- Mh 103 Consumer Subsidies - SH(04) Subsidy on Rice" till 1994-1995.
However, the provision of Funds on account of Subsidy on Rice is being made under a
different nomenclature viz., ‘MH 2236 Nutrition - 02 Distribution of Nutritious Food and
Beverages - Mh 800 Other Expenditure - SH(04) Subsidy on Rice (Human Resources
Development)’ from1995-1996 onwards.
The outstanding debit balance of
`
1,78,72.12 lakh under the head ‘MH 3456 Civil
Supplies - Mh 103 Consumer Subsidies - SH(04) Subsidy on Rice - 320 Suspense (430
Suspense as per revised object heads)' as at March 1990 still remains unadjusted.
