Annex. To sum up, the Nodal/Focal Point branches will be required to prepare
separate sets of scrolls, one pertaining to March Residual Transactions and another
for April Transactions during the first 15 days of April 2015. The Nodal/Focal Point
branches should also ensure that the accounts for all transactions (revenues/tax
collections/payments) are effected at the receiving branches upto March 31, 2015
in the accounts for the current financial year itself and are not mixed up with the
transactions of April 2015. Also, while reporting transactions pertaining to March
2015 upto April 15, 2015, the transactions of April 2015 should not be mixed up with
“March Residual Transactions."
5. The procedure now followed for reporting and accounting of transactions of NonCivil Ministries viz. Defence, Posts, Railways and Telecommunications (which was
revised with effect from October 1, 1993), is similar to the procedure for reporting
and accounting of transactions of Departmentalised Ministries. The special
arrangements for reporting March transactions by receiving branches to Nodal/Focal
Point branches and the procedure for reporting March 2015 transactions in April
2015 by Nodal/Focal Point branches as indicated in paragraphs 3 and 4 above are
also applicable to the reporting of transactions of Non-Civil Ministries. The branches
of your bank handling the Non-Civil Ministries transactions, if any, may, therefore, be
advised to follow the above procedure.
6.
Kindly issue necessary instructions in the matter to your branches concerned
immediately.
Yours faithfully

ANNEX
Reporting of March Transactions
Beginning from April 1, 2015, the Nodal/Focal Point branches will segregate on a
daily basis all scrolls/challans pertaining to March 2015 received from the receiving
branches concerned and prepare separate main scrolls for:
(a) scrolls for transactions of March 2015 or earlier period (i.e. effected during the
previous financial year 2014-15) and
(b) scrolls pertaining to current transactions (i.e. those effected from April 1, 2015
onwards).
2.
The main scrolls for March 2015 transactions prepared from April 1 to April 15,
2015 are to be distinctly marked as March Residual - 1, March Residual - 2 and so
on upto April 15, 2015. In other words, serial number should be allotted in
consecutive order for each main scroll of March 2015 transactions sent from April 1
to April 15, 2015. These scrolls alongwith the copies of daily summary of Receipts
and Payments prepared separately for March 2015 transactions will be forwarded to
the Departmental Officials concerned (i.e. Zonal Accounts Officers/Pay and
Accounts Officers and Designated Officers) in the usual way. The Nodal/Focal Point
branches will also be required to report the above transactions to the Link Cell
through separate Daily Memos. These advices must be sent to enable the Link Cell
of each bank at Nagpur, to make daily settlement with Reserve Bank of India,
Central Accounts Section (CAS) Nagpur. On receipt of advices from the Nodal/Focal
Point branches, the Link Cell should segregate the advices for the March Residual
transactions and forward them separately to Reserve Bank of India, CAS, Nagpur.
This procedure should continue upto and inclusive of April 15, 2015 only.
All
transactions reported thereafter by the receiving branches will be reported and
accounted for in the usual manner in the accounts of the month of report irrespective
of the date of transaction.
Following the special arrangements for March 2015
transactions, it is necessary for the Nodal/Focal Point branches to prepare two sets
of DMS to be submitted to Zonal Accounts Officers/Pay and Accounts Officers for
March 2015 transactions - one for transactions upto March 31, 2015 and another for
March Residual Transactions adjusted by Nodal/Focal Point branches with Reserve
Bank of India, Central Accounts Section, Nagpur, during April 1 to April 15, 2015.
…….2
~2~
Since the Nodal/Focal Point branch will also be reporting the April 2015 transactions
pertaining to year 2015-16 in addition to March Residual transactions, monthly
statement for April transactions should be compiled and furnished to Zonal Accounts
Officers/Pay and Accounts Officers in the usual way. In order to distinguish the
April 2015 (year 2015-16) and March Residual Transactions, the statement
pertaining to March Residual Transactions should be clearly marked as "March
Residual Account".
Note: As advised in our circular GA.NB.No.376/42.01.001/1995-96 dated May 22,
1996 all the cheques/amounts realized on or before March 31, 2015 should be
treated as transactions relating to the current financial year as "March 2015 or March
Residual Transactions", the reporting of which may take place during the month of
April (upto April 15, 2015). But if any cheque is tendered on or before March 31,
2015 and realized on or after April 1, 2015, it will be treated as transaction for the
next financial year as "April Transactions". Accordingly, the banks will prepare
separate scrolls for March 2015 and April 2015 (year 2015-16) transactions.
