2. Â Â The case has been examined. The Administrative Department is informed that the petty cash/ imprest amount is dealt under Rule 2.8 (1), Punjab Financial Rules (PFR), Volume-I and bills of Contingent Charges are dealt under Rule 4.49, Punjab Subsidiary Treasury Rules. While the Administrative Department carries its Forestry Works under Rule 16.1, PFR Volume-I and payments are processed as Forest Advance under Punjab Forest Manual, Volume-II, which has no relation with petty cash.
3. The Administrative Department is advised to continue its Forestry Works under Rule 16.1, PFR Vol-1 instead of intermingling with imprest account.
