against the officers responsible for serious lapses in furnishing

officers
on revenue such as non-detection of lapse during scrutiny of B/E and Shipping
bills, nondetection
of lapse during internal audit or non conducting of audit.
- With regard to non-detection of lapse during the internal audit, it is once
again
reiterated that officers involved in the audit should be clearly directed to
follow the
instructions scupulously given in the Audit Manual.
- The assesing officers involved in the assessmsnt of B/E and Shipping Bills
should
follow the instructions issued by the Ministry and DG(System) from time to time.
- The jurisctional Commissioner should examine the audit objection at the time
of
submitting the comments/Action Taken Note to the Ministry carefully in light of
lapses
on the part of the officers noticed by the C&AG Audit. In case of serious lapse
of not
following the instructions given supra or any other serious lapse noticed by the Commissioner, the Commissioner should initiate action for fixing responsibility
and initiate action against the officers under CCS(CCA) conduct rules.
Yours faithfully,
