GENERAL DIRECTIONS
1 General
1.1 The minor heads prescribed under each major/sub-major head in this list and also permitted to be opened as detailed in the subsequent paragraphs of these directions may be divided into such subordinate heads (called 'sub-heads') as may be needed to suit the local requirement of each Government. The ‘sub-head’ of Classification denotes and identifies the schemes undertaken in pursuance of programmes represented by minor heads or components of a particular programme, if the programme does not have any scheme, but represents non-developmental expenditure or expenditure of an administrative nature. The sub-heads should not be multiplied unnecessarily and new ones opened only when really necessary.
1.2 Formal approval/issue of amendments by correction slips is not required for opening of new minor heads in the following circumstances:-
(a) In the cases specified in the subsequent paragraphs of these directions with nomenclature of the heads indicated therein (e.g. ‘Direction and Administration’, ‘Other Expenditure’ indicated in para 3.1 below).
(b) In cases where mere guidelines are indicated in the column for 'Minor Heads' in this List, for example ‘Each project will be a minor head’ against the major head ‘2701/4701/6701’ for ‘Major and Medium Irrigation’. However, for opening new minor heads in terms of foot-notes below major heads or otherwise, formal approval/issue of correction slips would be required. 2 Receipt Heads
2.1 The minor head ‘Services and Service Fees’(code '501') may be opened under the receipt major/sub-major heads, wherever it has not been provided, if necessary.
2.2 ‘Refunds of Revenue' shall, as a general rule, be taken in reduction of the revenue receipts. ‘Deduct-Refunds’ (code '900') may be opened as a minor head under the major/sub-major heads falling in the Sector ‘B. Non-Tax Revenue’, unless it is not practicable to account for such refunds as sub-heads below the concerned programme minor heads under the relevant major/sub-major heads. This minor head may also be opened under the major/sub-major heads of the sector ‘C. Grants-in Aid and Contributions’. In respect of major/sub-major heads falling under the sector ‘A. Tax Revenue’, the head ‘Deduct- Refunds’ should however be opened as a distinct sub-head below the appropriate minor heads so that the net collection of each tax/duty is readily ascertainable from the accounts. See, however, note below the major head ‘0037 Customs’ for the accountal of ‘Deduct- Refunds’ and ‘Deduct-Drawbacks’.
2.3 The minor head ‘Other Receipts’ (code '800') may be opened under the receipt major/sub-major heads, wherever it has not been provided. Inter alia the following sub- heads may be opened under this minor head: (i) Leave Salary Contributions (ii) Sale proceeds of dead-stock, waste paper and other articles, the cost of which was met from office expenses.
The minor head 'Receipts Awaiting Transfer to other Minor Heads' (RAT) (Code ‘500’) may be opened wherever necessary under the functional major/sub-major heads in the Section Receipts Heads (Revenue Account) irrespective of whether the receipt would be subsequently transferred to the Capital Section or the Public Account. The transactions will be transferred to the final head of account by affording minus credit to the transitory head.
transactions, the same may be cleared on receipt of the amount from the other Department by affording minus debit to the transitory head during the same financial year in which the transaction has appeared in account. This minor head may also be operated to accommodate expenditure on a new scheme pending opening of a new minor head therefore or for the transactions which are presently being classified under 'Unclassified Suspense' and transactions booked under 'Vouchers Suspense' wherever the vouchers are found wanting or are not readily susceptible of classification.
3.2 The minor head ‘International Co-operation’ (code '798') may be opened under the functional major/sub-major heads wherever necessary, to record the contributions to the international organisations related to specific functions (e.g. United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organisation (WHO), International Labour Organisation (ILO), etc). A suitable sub head indicating the name of the conference/meeting arranged by a Ministry/Department may be opened under this minor head wherever the expenditure thereon is not expected to justify opening of a separate minor head. Where, however, the expenditure is estimated in a year is substantial (i.e. expected to be Rs.l crore or more), a minor head titled ‘International Conference/Meeting’ (code '790') may be opened below the functional major/sub-major head concerned. See also Note (l) below the major head ‘3605-Technical and Economic Co-operation with other Countries’.
3.3 If necessary the minor head with nomenclature ‘Irrecoverable Loans Written Off’ (code '792') may be opened under the various functional major/sub-major heads depending upon the purposes for which the loans or advances were granted. Where however, the purpose cannot be identified with any functional major head the amount written off should be adjusted under the minor head ‘Irrecoverable loans written off’ (code '795') below the major head ‘2075-Miscellaneous General Services’. ‘Loans to State Govt. written off’ may be adjusted under a distinct sub-head of the same nomenclature below the minor head ‘Irrecoverable loans written off’ under the major head '2075'.
3.4 The minor head ‘Transfer to Reserve Funds/Deposits Accounts (code 797) may be opened wherever necessary under the functional major/sub major heads in the Section Expenditure Heads (Revenue Account). Under this minor head 'Transfer to specific Reserve Funds or Deposits Accounts will appear as a distinct sub-head with nomenclature ‘Transfer to…….…. (Name of the Reserve Fund /Deposit Account) with a detailed head 'Inter- Account Transfer'. The actual Expenditure will be debited to the relevant programme minor head under the functional major head in the Revenue Section, Capital Section or Loan Section depending upon whether the expenditure is of a revenue, capital or loan nature. Amounts financed from the Reserve Fund/Deposit Accounts in these cases will be shown as a deduct entry under minor heads 'Deduct - Amount met from………...(Name of the Reserve Fund/Deposit Account) with separate code say ‘902’, etc., under the functional major/sub-major head in the revenue, Capital or Loan Section where under the actual expenditure stands debited.
3.5 Whenever expenditure is recorded initially under a minor head below a major head, and either the whole or a portion of it is recoverable by debit to another minor head under the same or a different major head, the amount recovered is to be recorded under a distinct sub-head ‘Deduct amount transferred to...….......... (Name of minor/major head) for this purpose.
3.6 The minor head ‘Suspense’ (code ‘799’) may be opened wherever necessary, only under those major heads, where expenditure on 'works' is involved and where the public works System of accounts is adopted keeping in view the provisions of para 13.1.1 of the C.P.W.A. Code or similar provisions of States Works Accounts Codes/Manuals. This minor head will have the following sub-heads, viz (a) Stock (b) Miscellaneous works Advances and (c) Work Shop Suspense.
3.7 In respect of the departments, the accounts of which follow the public works System of Accounts, the minor head ‘Machinery and Equipment’ (code '052') wherever provided will record expenditure on common tools and plant acquired by the Divisions for executing works of a revenue or capital nature, and will have suitable sub-heads like ‘New Supplies’, ‘Repairs and Carriage’ etc.
3.8 ‘Tribal Area Sub-plan’ (Codes '796') ‘Special Component Plan for Scheduled Castes’ (Code '789') may be opened as minor head below the major/ sub-major heads of Sector – Expenditure Heads (Revenue Account/ Capital Account), wherever necessary.
3.9 In addition to minor heads codified below the major heads ‘3601-Grants-in-aid to State Governments’ and ‘3602-Grants-in-Aid to Union Territory Governments’, new minor head (s) may be opened corresponding to the programme minor heads in the Section ‘Expenditure Heads (Revenue Account)’ to which the assistance can be related. For this purpose, the nomenclature of the minor head may indicate the function as per sub-major head or as per major head, in the absence of a sub-major head, on the revenue expenditure side followed by the programme minor head. For example ‘Adult Education - Rural Functional Literacy Programmes’, ‘Crop Husbandry - Agricultural Engineering’, ‘Consumer Industries - Textiles’ etc. When the nomenclature of the sub-major head does not give an indication of the concerned function the nomenclature of the minor head will also indicate the name of the major head also within brackets after the sub-major head. For example ‘General (Medical & Public Health) - Health Statistics and Evaluation’, ‘General (Nutrition)
- Diet Surveys and Nutrition Planning’ etc. Where it is not possible to identify the assistance with any programme distinctly, the minor head will indicate the relevant sub-major/major head as above followed by the words ‘Other Grants’, e.g. ‘General (Education) - Other Grants’, ‘Crop Husbandry - Other Grants’, etc. When the nomenclature of a new minor head to be opened cannot be fitted in any of the above pattern, advice of the C.G.A. should be sought. Please refer also to direction 6.5 for illustrations.
3.10 Recoveries of overpayments whether made in cash or by short drawl from a bill, during the same financial year in which such overpayments were made, shall be recorded as reduction of expenditure under the concerned Service Head. Recoveries of overpayments pertaining to previous year(s) shall be recorded under distinct minor head 'Deduct- Recoveries of Overpayments' (code ‘ 911 ’) below the concerned major/sub-major head ‘without affecting the gross expenditure under the functional Major/Sub-Major Head in the Appropriation Accounts’. Refund of unspent balance of grant/contribution during the same financial year shall be recorded as reduction of expenditure under the concerned Grant-in- aid major/sub-major head. However, refund of unspent balance of grant/contribution in subsequent year(s) that are initially charged to major head ‘3605-Technical and Economic co-operation with other countries etc.’ shall be adjusted under a distinct minor head 'Deduct Recoveries of unspent balance' (Code ‘912’) below that major head. Similarly, refund of unspent balance of grants-in-aid by State/U.T. Government in subsequent year(s) shall be adjusted under a separate minor head 'Deduct -Recovery of unspent balance of grant-in-aid from State/U.T, Governments' (Code ‘913’) below the major head ‘3601- Grants-in-aid to State Governments’ or ‘3602-Grants-in-aid to Union Territory Governments’ as the case may be. Note: - The investments made by Govt. of India in Nationalised Banks and subsequently being written down to adjust the losses incurred by banks, may be shown as 'Deduct Recoveries' below the line in the Capital Section.
4 Expenditure Heads (Capital Account)
4.1 The following minor heads even where not specifically prescribed may be opened below the major/sub-major head wherever necessary. (a) ‘Direction and Administration’(code ‘ 001 ’)
5.2 For State Trading Schemes not declared as commercial, distinct sub-heads for each or a group of similar such schemes as may be found convenient, may be opened under the relevant programme minor head below the appropriate revenue functional receipt/expenditure major/sub-major heads. If, however, it is decided to meet the expenditure on such trading scheme from capital, distinct sub-heads for each or a group of similar such schemes may be opened under the relevant minor head below the functional Capital major/sub-major head. The receipts from such schemes will, however, be treated as reduction of Capital Expenditure under the relevant sub-heads. Where, however, it is not possible to identify the sub-heads, these receipts may be adjusted under a minor head with the nomenclature ‘Deduct -Receipts & Recoveries on Capital Account’ (code '901').
5.3 In the case State Trading Schemes with revolving funds from an advance to be credited to a personal ledger account within the major head the additional sub-heads/detail heads (as the case may be) ‘Advances’ and ‘Suspense’ (Personal Deposits) may be opened.
6 Loans and Advances 6.1 The following minor heads may be opened wherever necessary if not specifically provided below functional major / sub-major heads in Loan Section:
