Compendium on Acts and Rules

If there is no budget provision for the entertainment of any temporary comparing clerks,

the Accountant-General, Bengal, will report the probable excess to Government, and
the necessary re appropriation will be made. The salary of the temporary comparing
clerks should be drawn on separate bills supported in the case of the first bill of each

year for each temporary appointment by a certificate from the officer making the
appointment that the conditions stated above are satisfied.

The above scale will apply to Commissioners' offices also.

331A. Every copy must bear the signature of the copyist making it and the date on which

the copy was completed. It must also bear the signature of the clerk who examined the
copy and the date on which such copy was examined.

331B. All undistributed work should be kept under lock and key in the possession of the
Head Comparing Clerk and arranged in the serial order of applications relating thereto.

331C. At the close of each day all original papers and all copies made during the day if
not delivered to the parties as well as all stamped papers not yet used for copies shall be

taken back from the copyists and typists and secured for the night under lock and key in
the almirah allotted to the Head Comparing Clerk. Care should be taken to see that
nothing remains with the copyists and typists.

NOTE.—The officer-in-charge should satisfy himself from time to time that this rule is
being strictly followed every day.

331D. Surreptitious supply of information or copies by copyists and typists is strictly
forbidden and any copyist or typist furnishing such information or copies shall be
dismissed. If it is proved to the satisfaction of the officer-in-charge that such practices

are prevalent the Head Comparing Clerk should be warned that failure to check such
abuses will be taken as an indication of inefficiency on his part and he will be severely

dealt with, and this procedure shall be followed whether responsibility can be fixed on
any particular person or not.
NOTE.—The Head Comparing Clerk should from time to time go round the place where

the copyists sit and see that outsiders are not permitted there.
VI.—Miscellaneous rules.
