Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

3.1Introduction

The Suspense Heads are certain intermediary/adjusting heads of accounts operated in Government Accounts to reflect transactions of receipts and payments which cannot be booked to Final Head of accounts due to lack of information as to their nature or for other reasons. These heads of accounts are finally cleared, when the amount under them is booked to their respective final heads of accounts, by ‘Minus Debit’ or ‘Minus Credit’ suspense heads. If these amounts remain un-cleared, the balance under the ‘Suspense Heads’ would go on accumulating and would not reflect Receipts and Expenditure of Indian Railways (IR) accurately.

Para 601 of Indian Railways Code for Accounts Department, Volume I envisages that Suspense Heads are operated to facilitate proper accountal of the various types of transactions such as (i) Inventory accounts viz Stores suspense and Purchase suspense, (ii) cash advances made to various parties pending recovery/adjustment, (iii) materials issued to contractors pending adjustment through contractor’s bills (iv) to accommodate a transaction temporarily for which details/particulars or allocation are not known. Transactions in the Suspense Heads are held temporarily pending clearance by payment or recovery or adjustment to the final heads of account.

The accuracy of Indian Railways accounts for the year 2013-14 is adversely affected by factors like (i) large number of transactions under suspense heads awaiting final classification, (ii) increasing number and magnitude of adverse balances under various heads of accounts of Debt Head Report (iii) persistent outstanding balances on account of lack of timely action for their clearance.

3.2 Suspense Accounts Operated by Railways

Para 219 of Indian Railways Code for Accounts Department, Volume I provides that some of the suspense heads in the Railway books are operated for maintaining a link between Commercial Accounts of the Railway and the Government Accounts. These link heads such as Traffic Account, Demands Recoverable and Demands Payable are known as suspense heads.

The following are the main suspense heads operated by the Railways:

Under Revenue Receipts: i. Traffic Account, and ii. Demands Recoverable.

Under Revenue Expenditure: i. Demands Payable, and ii. Miscellaneous Advance- Revenue

(MA-R). Under Capital Expenditure: i. Purchase Suspense

ii. Stores Suspense iii. Workshops Manufacture Suspense iv. Miscellaneous Advances-Capital

(MA-C) For Adjustment of Remittance Transactions:

3.3 Audit Findings 3.1Revenue Receipt

3.1.1 Traffic Account

A suspense account called Traffic Account is maintained as a link account between Commercial Accounts and Government Accounts for the purpose of recording traffic earnings. Traffic Account consists of Station outstanding and Traffic Account Office (TAO) outstanding. Traffic Accounts Office (TAO) prepares a Balance Sheet for the purpose of watching realization of vouchers sent in lieu of cash by the stations. It raises bills against the concerned departments i.e., Defence, Postal etc. The difference between bills raised and bills realized forms part of TAO outstanding. Thus, Traffic Accounts Office Outstanding1 depicts carriage bills viz warrants and Credit Notes received from stations and statement received from departments etc. At root level, Station Master is responsible for clearance of outstanding at stations. In order to reduce the outstanding at stations as low as possible, the Station Master2 must personally interest himself and periodically scrutinize the outstanding at his stations. The final responsibility rests with the Traffic Accounts Officer and Financial Adviser and Chief Accounts Officer (FA&CAO). For this, Para 620 of Indian Railway Accounts Code-Volume-I provides that FA&CAO should submit a half yearly review of suspense balances outstanding in accounts ending May and November to the Railway Board by 1st September and 1st March respectively. Further, to maintain the outstanding in Traffic Accounts to minimal, codal provision as envisaged in Para 2752 of Indian Railway Accounts Code-Volume-II, inter-alia, provides that if it is considered that additional steps towards clearance are necessary, the Divisional Superintendent and, the Chief Commercial Superintendent should be addressed direct by the Accounts Officer. In case admitted debits which are not promptly made good, the names of the station staff responsible are noted against the items in order that the steps may be taken to recover the amount from the pay bills. At stations where heavy freight outstanding persists, the joint checks may be conducted by the Commercial and Account Inspectors and the report may be submitted to the Commercial Department for taking necessary action to clear the outstanding. The reasons for old and heavy items of station outstanding should be discussed at the Heads of Departments Meeting with the General Manager for initiating appropriate remedial action in time.

1Traffic Accounts Office also prepares a Balance Sheet for the purpose of watching

realization of vouchers sent in lieu of cash by the stations. It raises bills against the concerned Departments i.e., Defense, Postal etc. Difference between Bills raised & Bills realized forms part of Outstanding. 2 Para 2745 of Indian Railway Accounts Code- Volume-II

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 3

Station Master also prepares a Station Balance sheet on monthly basis. Station Balance sheet depicts all the earnings booked on account of sale of tickets, carriage of goods etc originated at stations and recoveries of such earnings. Station outstanding3 forming part of Traffic Account, represent the amounts for which Station Master has become accountable but has not liquidated liability upto the close of the year. The closing balance in the Traffic Account is exhibited on the Asset side of the Balance Sheet.

The main components of Station Outstanding are:

Freight Outstanding-Freight means the charges levied for the carriage of goods including transshipment charges. Freight outstanding will arise when the way bills /invoices have been accounted for in the books of Railways, but freight charges have not been realized.

Admitted Debits-Every debits raised by the Traffic Accounts Office on the stations on account of error in charging fare/freight, short remittance of cash etc accepted by the stations is known as Admitted Debits.

Objective Debits-Debits (error sheets) raised by Accounts/Audit against stations due to errors in charging fares/freight and errors sheets not accepted/objected by the stations.

Wharfage means the charges levied on goods for not removing them from the railway after the expiry of free time for such removal.

Demurrage means the charge levied for the detention of any rolling stock after the expiry of free time, if any, allowed for such detention.

Audit of above heads for the last five years at the Zonal Railways level revealed the followings:

Traffic Account

The balance in the Traffic Account based on the data maintained in the

Zonal Railways, exhibits an amount of ` 1,779.62 crore. However, the

same appears in the accounts of Indian Railways (IR) as ` 1,590.33 crore at the end of March, 2014. Thus there is a mismatch in the

figures amounting to ` 189.29 crore and needs reconciliation.

The balance under Traffic Account in accounts of IR increased from `

1,149.06 crore as of March 2010 to ` 1,590.33 crore4 as of March 2014. The balance under Traffic Account showed an increasing trend over this period. It increased at 17.78 per cent over the previous year.

At Zonal Railways, the balances under Traffic Account drastically

increased from March 2010 to March 2014 in respect of CR from `

17.47 crore to ` 122.48 crore, ECR from ` 8.44 crore to ` 78.28 crore,

ECoR from ` 17.31 crore to ` 96.11 crore, NFR from ` 3.45 crore to `

52.13 crore, SR from ` 32.60 crore to ` 65.13 crore and SECR from `

14.39 crore to ` 64.55 crore.

Review of the major components/sub components of Traffic Account revealed the followings:

3.1.1.1 Station Outstanding

At Zonal Railways, Station Outstanding increased from

` 1,143.06 crore to ` 1,554.82 crore over a period of five years. Station Outstanding drastically increased on CR, ECR, ECoR, NFR, SR and SECR.

3.1.1.2 Freight Outstanding

Nearly 42.66 per cent of outstanding under Traffic Account (` 1,779.62

crore) were on account of outstanding freight ` 759.10 crore. The

maximum outstanding of unrecovered freight was in NR (` 573.86

crore), followed by CR (` 43.55 crore), ECoR (` 61.24 crore), NWR (`

37.51 crore) and SER (` 17.79 crore).

Freight outstanding5 was mainly attributable to increase in outstanding freight dues from State Electricity Boards and Power Houses. The

major freight dues (` 10.00 crore and above) as on 31.03.2014 are NR-

NDLS (DESU)-` 114.28 crore, RTTP/RPAR-` 294.32 crore,

GNDTPP/BTI- ` 34.28 crore, GHTL/LHM - ` 117.46 crore, CR- `

21.39 crore, ECoR-NTPC/Simhadri-` 58.15 crore, NWR-

STPB/BDWL-` 36.88 crore. The reasons attributed for freight outstanding were on account of diversion of coal wagons to stations other than those originally written on the invoices (ECoR), court cases related to 2002-03 (NR), non-payment of freight by parties due to disputes (15 per cent rebate on coal wagons disallowed) (NWR).

(Annexure-II(a))

3.1.1.3 Admitted Debits

Rule6 provide that the Admitted Debits should be cleared by effecting recoveries or writing off the outstanding amount if irrecoverable. The outstanding on account of Admitted Debits of IR showed a downward trend

from ` 103.94 crore as of March 2010 to ` 57.56 crore as of March 2014. In eight Zonal Railways, the outstanding admitted debits to end of 2013-14 as

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 5

compared to 2009-10 have shown increasing trend (viz CR ` 2.05 crore, ER `

1.75 crore, ECR ` 6.07 crore, ECoR ` 4.91 crore, NFR ` 1.83 crore, SR `

2.09 crore, SER ` 27.50 crore, WCR ` 3.15 crore).

(Annexure-II)

3.1.1.4 Objected Debits

The outstanding Objected Debits raised against station staff (due to errors in weight, rate, distance etc, non-receipt of vouchers and

shortage of cash) is to the extent of ` 164.66 crore (i.e. 10 per cent of unrealized earnings). The outstanding balance increased by 206 per

cent over a period of five years i.e. from ` 53.84 crore (2009-10) to ` 164.66 crore (2013-14).

It was observed that on eight Zonal Railways, the outstanding disputed debits to end of 2013-14 as compared to 2009-10 have shown

increasing trend (CR- ` 6.89 crore, ER – `.3.26 crore, ECR- ` 10.58

crore, NR – ` 96.02 crore, NFR – ` 7.99 crore, NWR – ` 2.32 crore,

SCR – ` 1.66 crore, SER – ` 8.16 crore).

(Annexure-II)

3.1.1.5 Wharfage and Demurrage

At Zonal Railways, the outstanding balance under Wharfage and

Demurrage was ` 316.37 crore and ` 169.07 crore respectively as on March 2014. Taken together, it constituted 27.28 per cent of outstanding

under Traffic Account (` 1,779.62 crore).

Out of total outstanding under Wharfage, there was outstanding of ` 159.52 crore in SER at the end of 2013-14. The outstanding under

Demurrage was ` 73.56 crore in ECR, ` 62.98 crore in CR, and ` 36.08 crore in SR at the end of 2013-14.

(Annexure-III)

In contrary to the rules, the outstanding balances under Admitted Debits were allowed to accumulate which indicates that necessary steps are not being taken by the Zonal Railways to clear the outstanding balances.

The huge balances under the Objected Debits indicate that concerted efforts were not made by the Commercial Department and Traffic Accounts Department of the Zonal Railways for realization of the old outstanding amounts.

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 6

The Commercial and Accounts Departments failed to adhere to the Codal provisions7 for clearance of outstandings under freight charges, admitted debits, objected debits, demurrage and wharfage charges resulting in accumulation of outstanding under Traffic Account over the years.

3.1.2 Demands Recoverable

Demands Recoverable8 is a Suspense account operated for the purpose of recording the revenue earnings other than traffic earnings on accrual basis. The closing balance under this head represents the payments not received for the bills raised in respect of the license fee, rent, interest and maintenance etc. This forms part of unrealized earnings and is exhibited on the Asset Side of the Balance Sheet of Indian Railways.

A review of the balances under this suspense head revealed the following:

The balance in the Demand Recoverable based on the data maintained in

the Zonal Railways, exhibits an amount of ` 244.25 crore. However, the

same appears in the accounts of IR as ` 256.61 crore at the end of March,

2014. Thus, there is a mismatch in the figures amounting to ` 12.36 crore and needs reconciliation.

Out of 16 Zonal Railways, the outstanding balance9 at the end of 2013-14 as compared to 2009-10 increased in 10 Zonal Railways10.

Out of total outstanding balance of ` 256.61 crore as shown in the

Balance Sheet of IR for the year 2013-14, an amount of ` 190.03 crore

(SER - ` 80.78 crore , WR - ` 47.68 crore, NR - ` 37.88 crore and CR - ` 23.69 crore) was outstanding mainly on account of less payment, slow turn up, non-payment due to disputes and litigations.

The outstanding balances under Demand Recoverable were decreased

during the last five years ending March 2014 in NR (from ` 63.40 crore

to ` 37.88 crore), NER (from ` 10.62 crore to ` 9.81 crore), NFR (` 4.25

crore to ` 9.22 crore), NWR (` 2.36 crore to ` 6.94 crore), SR (` 3.17

crore to ` 7.30 crore), SER (` 27.91 crore to ` 80.78 crore), WR (` 60.52

crore ` 47.68 crore) and WCR (` 1.87 crore to ` 6.72 crore). The reasons for outstanding balances were enumerated by zonal railways are due to disputes and litigations (NFR, NWR, SR, SER, WR and WCR).

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 7

Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) had issued instructions11 in November 2006 to all Zonal Railways that with effect from 01.04.2006, the bills receivable amounts such as Cost of Staff due from Sidings/Level Crossing gates, Electricity and Water charges due from outsiders and vendors, Rent/License Fee for plots/Cycle stands/commercial publicity within railway premises etc., may also be reflected in the final accounts of the Railways on accrual basis in accordance with normal principles of Commercial accounting. The Balance outstanding represents the unrealized/unadjusted amounts.

In contravention to Railway Board’s instructions (November 2006), Bills Receivable amounts are still being accounted for and brought into account on actual realization and hence true picture of these outstanding are not reflected in the Final Accounts. During the year 2013-14 on IR, the

amount of Bills Receivable raised was ` 1,201.62 crore and realized was

` 1,027.01 crore (85 per cent of bills raised). The bills relating to old

period raised during 2013-14 works out to ` 156.79 crore and old bills

realized during 2013-14 works out to ` 82.90 crore (51 per cent of bills

raised). The Bills receivable balance outstanding works out to ` 287.85 crore, which is not appearing in the Books of the Railways as Demands Recoverable on the Asset side of the Balance Sheet. Out of the total

outstanding balances of ` 287.85 crore nearly 65 pe cent of the amount

outstanding pertains to old periods (` 188.26 crore). The main

contributors are ECR (` 67.78 crore), NWR (` 38.00 crore), SECR (`

21.08 crore). The outstanding under the Bills Receivable amounting to ` 287.85 crore is not being reflected in the accounts (Balance sheet) of the Railways.

(Annexure-VII)

On SCR bills raised and realized during the year 2013-14 included bills

pertaining to previous years to the tune of ` 1.33 crore and ` 2.58 crore respectively.

(Annexure-VI(a))

Such belated raising of bills not only resulted in accumulation of debits but also resulted in overstatement of revenue working expenditure. There is no mechanism to watch whether bills receivable, which will be taken as reduction in expenditure, are properly raised and realized during the year of incurrence of expenditure.

On SCR Bills towards reimbursement of expenditure on Railway Protection Force/Railway Protection Special Force deputed on election

duties amounting to ` 8.55 crore (SCR), ` 0.63 crore (ECoR) and ` 2.58 crore (WCR) remained unrealized from the Ministry of Home Affairs. In

11 Railway Board’s letter No.2006/B-200 dated 07.11.2006

addition, on SCR License Fee amounting to ` 4.57 crore due from Postal Department relating to the period 2002-2014 has not been brought into the books of Accounts due to non-raising of bills.

(Annexure-VI(b))

Mechanism followed is not in accordance with the codal provisions which envisage that the review is to be conducted monthly by the Executive Officer and the summary of outstanding bills submitted to Accounts Officer to ensure that all the bills are raised in time and realization is pursued vigorously. Delayed cases brought to the notice of the Executive Officer by the Accounts Department for expeditious recovery of outstanding dues or to discontinue the services rendered as may be deemed necessary. Though reviews are conducted half yearly by the Zonal Railways and report submitted to Railway Board there had been

increase of outstanding under Demands Recoverable from ` 216.89 crore

(09-10) to ` 256.61 crore (13-14), which indicates that the reviews are not being conducted efficiently.

Finance Directorate of the Zonal Railways needs to take prompt action for implementation of the Railway Board’s instructions of November 2006 for reflecting the amount of bills receivables in the Accounts thereby making transparency in the books of accounts of the Railways and substantial clearance of the outstanding dues from outsiders. The items adjustable to final heads remained unadjusted resulting in overstatement of Revenue Expenditure in the year of incurrence and understatement of Revenue Expenditure in the year of realization thus affecting the Operating Ratio of the Railways.

Ministry of Railways should immediately put in place necessary mechanism to monitor the bills receivable by implementing the instructions issued in November 2006 and to bring to account the bills in the year of incurrence and reflect the amounts in the final accounts of the Railways. Ministry of Railways should ensure that firm steps are taken to

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

arrest further accumulation of outstanding dues under the Head “Demands Recoverable/Bills Receivable”. There is a mismatch in figures under heads ‘Traffic Account’ and ‘Demand Recoverable’ shown in the printed accounts of IR and the data maintained at Zonal Railways as commented above. A reference in anomaly in printed figures and audited figures of Zonal Railways included in the printed books of accounts of Zonal Railways has been made in Para No.1.12 of Chapter-1-State of Finances of the Audit Report on Railways Finances for the year ended March 2014. Ministry of Railways needs to reconcile the differences in figures maintained in the Zonal Railways and included in the printed accounts of the Zonal Railways.

3.2 Expenditure Side

3.2.1 Demands Payable

A suspense account Demands Payable’12 is operated to maintain a link account between Commercial Accounts and Government Account for the purpose of recording expenditure in the month’s account to which they pertain and watching the progress of discharge of liability. The account is credited with the expenses payable/unpaid liabilities (such as Electricity, Water Telephone, Overtime bills of staff etc) and debited when the actual payments are made. For this purpose necessary estimates of the probable charges for bills payable such as Electricity, Water Telephone, Overtime bills of staff etc are prepared and accounted for in the Books of the Railways by debit to the final head and credit to the Suspense Head ‘Demands Payable’.

A review of this suspense head revealed the following:

Demands Payable is operated on yearly basis to bring to account the Pay and allowances of March, which are disbursed in the April month. The total amount of Demands Payable of IR exhibited in the Balance Sheet

as on 31st March 2014 is ` 3,224.17 crore. Liability Register is not being maintained on five Zonal Railways (NR, NER, SR, SCR and SWR).

The procedure envisaged in the Code is not being followed on all the Zonal Railways. A test check of records13 revealed that bills payable by Railways which are not accounted through Demands Payable works out

to ` 277.70 crore. These were related to contractors bills (` 81.53 crore),

stores bills (` 148.59 crore), other bills like water, electricity, travelling

allowance, overtime and misc. bills etc (` 47.58 crore). (Annexure-VIII)

It was observed that claims raised towards Government Railway Police to

the tune of ` 9.98 crore (SCR) and ` 12.00 crore (SECR) which were not paid, have not been brought into books of accounts by operating Bills

Payable Head. Similarly claims payable to the tune of ` 32.68 crore (SCR) relating to the years 2012-13 and 2013-14 not received from Andhra Pradesh State Government were not shown in the Balance Sheet

12 Para 220 of Accounts Code, Vol.I 13 Co6 Returns and Bills of 2013-14 paid in the first quarter of 2014-15.

as Outstanding Liabilities under Demands Payable.

(Annexure-VIII(a))

3.2.2 Miscellaneous Advances-Revenue (MAR) and Miscellaneous Advances Capital (MAC)

The Suspense Heads viz. Miscellaneous Advances-Revenue (MAR)14 and Miscellaneous Advances-Capital (MAC) are operated under the Major Head 3002/5002 to bring to account transactions pending adjustment to final head of account such as charges the allocation of which is not known, interdepartmental transactions awaiting acceptance, expenditure incurred in anticipation of receipt of deposits or pending realization of the amount expended, payments in advance for stores, payments made in advance to railway officials for local purchase of materials etc. The Net balance under this head is shown on the Asset side of the Balance Sheet of IR.

3.2.2.1 Miscellaneous Advances-Revenue (MA-R)

A review of the MA-R balances outstanding as on 31.03.2014 revealed that:

Out of 16 Zonal Railways, the outstanding balance under MA-R at the end of year (2014) as compared to previous year (2013) increased in 10 Zonal Railways15. The increase in the balance over the previous year ranged between 0.14 per cent (WR) to 45.27 per cent (NER).

Major portion16 of total outstanding balance of ` 1,520.54 crore to end

of the year (2013-14) was contributed by ECoR (` 100.97 crore), NR (`

295.27 crore), SR (` 186.97 crore), SCR (` 264.83 crore) and WR (` 106.32 crore).

(Annexure-IX)

Out of total outstanding balance of ` 1,520.54 crore to end of the year

(2013-14) under MA-R, net balance of ` 710.18 crore (47 per cent) relates to the period prior to previous year i.e. items earlier to 2012-13 (over two years old). The outstanding dates back to the year 1950-51 (NER), 1957-58 (ER, NR), 1981-82 (ECR, WCR), 1985-86 (WR), 1988-89 (ECoR), 1989-90 (CR) and 1990-91 (SCR).

The main contributory factors for outstanding to end of March 2014

were advances to staff, public and private parties, (` 155.70 crore-22

per cent), Deposit with State Electricity Boards (` 224.71 crore-32 per

cent) and Miscellaneous items (` 487.09 crore-69 per cent), off set by Minus balances against the reason ‘for want of acceptance of parties,

adequate particulars and correct allocation of vouchers and want of

relevant vouchers’ (` 157.32 crore). (Annexure-X)

Credit/Minus Debits clearly denotes that credits were posted without linking the corresponding debit particulars.

The balances under MA-R relating to period prior to previous year i.e., over two years old, shown in the Appropriation Accounts increased on 11 Zonal Railways (CR, ER, ECR, NCR, NER, NFR, NWR, SR, SCR, WR and WCR) during the period of five years i.e. from 2009-10 to 2013-14. The main factors that contributed to the increase are

Want of acceptance, adequate allocation and relevant vouchers

(ER-` 14.53 crore, ECR- ` 27.90 crore)

Advances to staff, private parties (NWR-` 12.68 crore, SR-` 5.64

crore , WR- ` 31.87 crore)

Deposit with State Electricity Boards (SR-` 28.37 crore, WCR-

` 63.81 crore)

Miscellaneous items (CR-` 52.09 crore, NCR-` 123.31crore, NER -`

8.34 crore, NFR-` 26.23 crore, SR-` 5.86 crore, SCR-` 17.61 crore,

WR- ` 41.58 crore)

(Annexure-X(a))

It was noticed that the balances relating to the years upto 2000 remained static in six Zonal Railways (CR, NER, SCR, SWR, WR and

WCR). Out of total outstanding of ` 1,283.97 crore of all Railways (except NCR and SECR) shown as outstanding in the Half yearly Report on Review of Suspense balances sent to Railway Board was

nearly 57 per cent (` 740.75 crore) and relates to periods more than one year which clearly denotes that no adequate action has been taken to clear the old outstanding debits.

(Annexure-XI)

The subsidiary registers were not reconciled with the General Books on NR, NFR, SCR, SWR and WCR. The Summary of Balances is not supported by documentary evidence.

As per Para-1264 of Indian Railway code for Engineering Department the recovery of mobilization advance should be completed when the value of the work reaches 85 per cent of the original value of contract. On two Zonal Railways (CR & SCR) the mobilization advance

amounting to ` 0.44 crore and ` 1.10 crore respectively remained unrecovered for the last five years.

It was noticed on SER that an amount of ` 7.32 crore relating to Cost of staff from siding was erroneously booked to MA-R without operation of Bills Receivable Account resulting in overstatement of MA-R balances in Balance Sheet. The balance outstanding included

excess deposit to the Insurance Company to the extent of ` 4.89 crore.

On ER, ECoR and SCR expenditure to the tune of ` 62.86 crore, `

6.18 crore and ` 2.40 crore respectively which could have been directly debited to final head or adjusted through transfers have been booked to MA-R.

There are credit items outstanding in MA-R on SR (` 49.91 crore ),

SER (` 84.00 crore) and SCR (` 1.17 crore).

The year wise breakup of the outstanding balances not furnished by the Zonal Railway Administration (NCR, SR, SWR, NWR, SER, NFR and SECR).

3.2.2.2 Miscellaneous Advances Capital (MAC)

Out of total outstanding balance of ` 3,881.03 crore to end of the year

(2013-14) under MAC, net balance of ` 3,184.63 crore (82 per cent) relates to the period prior to previous year i.e. items relating to period earlier to 2012-13.

Under MAC, the major item shown as outstanding for prior to previous year period pertains to ‘Other Miscellaneous Items’ which works out to

` 3,140.48 crore. In NR, ` 3,029.00 crore kept under MAC relates to Loan disbursed to Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, which accounted for 96 per cent of the outstanding balance. Apart from NR the increase in balance as compared to the year 2009-10 was found on

SWR (` 60.83 crore), Metro Railway/Kolkata (` 1,025.85 crore) and

MTP/Chennai (` 129.28 crore).

(Annexure-X(b))

The existing mechanism for review of balances under this Suspense Account is ineffective in ten Zonal Railways (ER, ECoR, NR, NER, SCR, SER, SECR, SWR, WR and WCR) resulting in huge accumulations under MAR. This clearly denotes that the half yearly review is being conducted in a routine manner and amounts are allowed to remain in MAR for longer periods without being shifted to the appropriate final heads in contravention to provisions.

The increasing trend of balances under MAR clearly denotes that the Railway Administration is not following the procedures envisaged in the Codes and the items adjustable to final heads remained unadjusted resulting in overstatement of expenditure under MAR/MAC and understatement of expenditure in the

final heads (i.e. Revenue Grants and Capital Grant) resulting in lapse of budget grants.

Old items have become inefficient as sufficient details of the original debits were not available in the Subsidiary registers and the Summary of Balances is not supported by documentary evidence17. On most of the Zonal Railways, the subsidiary registers were not reconciled with the General Books18. There are certain credit items outstanding as adverse balances resulting in understatement of expenditure under MAR. Concrete measures were not taken to clear the old outstanding resulting in huge accumulation under MAR/ MAC.

Ministry of Railways should ensure that concerted efforts are made by the Zonal Railways to arrest further accumulation of outstanding under the suspense head ‘Miscellaneous Advance Revenue’ and ‘Miscellaneous Advance Capital’.

3.3 Capital Expenditure

3.3.1 Purchase Suspense

A Suspense Head is operated under Capital to record transactions pertaining to purchases made by the Railways temporarily till they are taken to stock. Credit side of the Purchase Account19 is posted on receipt of Accounts copy of Receipt Note, indicating the quantity and other details. The Debit side of the Purchase Account is posted with the payments made towards purchases. Occasionally advance payments to the extent of 90/95/98/100 per cent20 of the value of stores are to be made, on proof of dispatch. In such cases, the value of stores is debited to ‘Purchase Account’ even though there is no credit is received. The entries should be posted in sufficient details indicating various elements of debit so that it may not become difficult to trace the details or transaction at later date. Normally in purchase account no debit balance except for advance payment made should continue. The Net balance under this Suspense Head appears in the Block Account of the Indian Railways.

A review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed the following:

3.3.1.1 Debit Balances

The outstanding Debit balance of IR shown to end of March 2014 is ` 13,092.95 crore.

Of the total debit balance outstanding, (` 13,092.95 crore), ` 6,309.73

crore relates to the year 2013-14, ` 1,707.20 crore relates to 2012-13

and ` 5,076.02 crore relates to prior to 2012-13 i.e., older items.

Chapter 3 Review of Suspense Balances in Indian Railways

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 14

The Debit balances of prior to previous year period (i.e. over two years

old) increased from ` 2,586.62 crore (2009-10) to ` 5,076.02 core (2013-14). The major contributories (97.04 per cent) for the increase in

the outstanding balances are ER (` 2,028.11 crore), NCR (` 2,790.40

crore) and NWR (` 107.48 crore).

Major factors contributing to old outstanding Debit balance were:

Failure to link debits received (` 56.43 crore to end of March 2014):

1 per cent of the old outstanding debit items (i.e. ` 56.43 crore out

of ` 5,076.02 crore) are due to lack of proper linking of debits received. The main Railways contributing to the outstanding balance are SCR and RWF due to difficulty for want of dispatch particulars in Sale Issue Notes. This clearly indicates that debits are not posted in sufficient detail initially making the entries difficult to trace at this later date.

Non receipt of credit for material received (` 2,061.92 crore): During the year 2013-14 the old outstanding debit (i.e. over two

years old) under this head increased from ` 865.28 crore to ` 2,061.92 crore which works out to 40 per cent of the total

outstanding amount of over two years old i.e. ` 5,076.02 crore. ER

accounted for ` 2,026.76 crore i.e., 98.29 per cent. The huge amount of debit appearing under Stores is stated to be on account of acceptance of debit from CAO/S/ECR excluding freight charges. SER, CLW, DMW and DLW are also having balances under this head.

This denotes either non receipt of Accounts Copy of Receipt Notes from depot or non-linking of the entries in the Purchase Register with bill received from Suppliers along with the pink copy of the Receipt Note.

Advance payments made to Suppliers and Contractors (` 6.61 crore): The major outstanding balance is shown by ECR (` 3.03 crore-46 per cent) followed by ICF and DMW.

Rejected Materials (` 1.82 crore): RCF alone contributed for ` 0.87 crore followed by DMW for ` 0.58 crore.

Other Miscellaneous Items (` 2,949.24 crore): The old outstanding balance increased from ` 1,113.95 crore (2009-10) to ` 2949.24 crore (2013-14) i.e., 164 per cent under this head which is to the tune of 58 per cent of the total outstanding balance for over two years old (` 5,076.02 crore). The major contributory Railways were NCR (` 2,790.40 crore - 95 per cent) and NWR (` 107.48 crore - 4 per cent).

Material Issued on loan to Other Railways (` 8.08 crore): WR (` 4.30 crore) and NER (` 3.78 crore) contributed for the outstanding

The defaulting railways which are showing their outstandings as prevalent since 1986 to 2006 are DMW (1986), ICF (1990), SR (1991), NER & ER (2000), RWF (2003), ECR (2004) and WCR(2006).

(Annexure-XII)

3.3.1.2 Credit Balances

The outstanding Credit balance of IR shown to end of March 2014 is ` 14,212.63 crore.

Out of the total Credit outstanding, ` 7,563.37 crore relates to the year

2013-14, ` 1,622.57 crore relates to 2012-13 and ` 5,026.69 crore relates to prior to 2012-13 i.e., over two year old items.

The major portion of the Credit balances of ` 5,026.69 crore pertaining

to prior to 2012-13 i.e., over two year old items relates to ER - `

2,029.56 crore (40 per cent) and NCR - ` 2,706.84 crore (54 per cent).

(Annexure-XIV)

The Credit balances of prior to previous year period (i.e. over two year

old) increased from ` 2,483.03 crore during 2009-10 to ` 5,026.69 crore during 2013-14.

Major factors contributing to old outstanding Credit balance were:

Failure to link corresponding debits for want of relevant vouchers, complete particulars and acceptances: The outstanding balance on

this account was ` 113.54 crore (2 per cent). The main Railways

which contributed for the outstanding balance are WCR - ` 44.11

crore, DLW - ` 23.95 crore and SCR - ` 23.70 crore

Non receipt of debits: The outstanding balance was ` 98.42 crore (2

per cent). RWF accounted for ` 47.22 crore and WR for ` 33.63 crore.

Stores Received but payments not made: 40 per cent of the total

outstanding balance of ` 5,026.69 crore is on this account (` 2,039.23

crore). ER accounted for ` 2,026.90 crore which is nearly 99 per

cent of ` 2,039.23 crore.

Other Miscellaneous Items: The balance of ` 2,779.29 crore

represents 55 per cent of total old outstanding balance of ` 5,026.69

3.3.1.3 Other Issues

On SWR reconciliation of Purchase Suspense is in arrears since formation of the Zone. On WCR the figures are not tallying with the Zonal Ledger and the anomaly exists since last several years. On SCR, it was noticed that there are some minus entries in the Debit side of the Purchase Suspense which tantamount to inefficient balances. On NFR the balance pertaining to the period prior to 2012-13 as per

Appropriation Accounts was ` 35.60 crore, which was wrongly shown under Other Miscellaneous Items whereas as per the Books (Review

Report) the debits were due to failure to link debits received (` 35.60

crore) and non receipt of credits for material received (` 3.71 crore). Items on Debit side are outstanding due to failure of matching in the system due to minor mismatch of data (SECR), non-availability of dispatch details in Sale Issue Note (RWF), Material Rejected and the firms were closed (DMW) and Advance Payments made but material rejected (RCF/Kapurthala).

Stores Code stipulates that the register should be inspected monthly by Stores Accounts Officer21. In addition, as per Accounts Code, the Suspense Registers should be reconciled with General Books monthly. Contrary to these provisions, the certificate of reconciliation with General Books over the signature of Gazetted Officer is not available in the Subsidiary Register on 4 Zonal Railways (NER, NFR, SCR and SWR)

The debit balance and Credit balances of prior period (i.e. over two years old) have shown a drastic increase under Purchase suspense. It was also observed that nearly 58 per cent of Debits and 55 per cent of Credits relating to old period are under ‘Other Miscellaneous Items’. The Main Railways contributing for Debit Balance items under ‘Other Miscellaneous Items’ are

NCR (` 2790.40 crore), NFR (` 35.60 crore) and NWR (` 107.48 crore). The Main Railways contributing for Credit Balance items under 'Other

Miscellaneous Items’ are NCR (` 2706.84 crore) i.e., 97 per cent of the total under this head. This clearly denotes that Debit / Credit details are recorded insufficiently making it difficult to trace the original transaction at a distant date and no proper mechanism exists to link Debits / Credits.

3.3.2 Stores Suspense

The transactions affecting this Suspense Head operated under Capital are in respect of value of stores received or issued from a Stores Depot. It is a debit Balance. All Purchases made are debited to this head by credit to ‘Purchases’ or ‘Cash’ as the case may be. The Net Balances are shown in the Block Account of the Indian Railways

The Computerized Stores Ledger22 or the Transaction Statement should tally with the amount at debit of Stores in the General Books of Accounts. . The ledger should be reviewed once in every 6 months to remove irregular like Credit balances in quantity or value, Value without quantity,. Quantity without value, Price List rate varying from the book rate by 10 per cent or more etc.

A review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed that:

There is difference in figures of Computerized Stores Ledger and

Stores in General Books in CR (` 0.89 crore), ECoR (` 11.20 crore),

NR (` 25.00 crore), SER (` 17.56 crore) and WCR (` 21.80 crore).

The maintenance of Priced Ledger was not efficient as there exists irregular items i.e. quantities without values (SR& ICF).

The rates as priced on computer are not in accordance with Para 210-Indian Railway Code for Stores Department.(NER).

(Annexure-XVI)

A further review of the ‘Stores Transaction’ and ‘Stock Adjustment Account’ of the Indian Railways revealed the following:

The deficiency due to revaluation of stores showed an increasing trend

on NR - ` 4.53 crore (2009-10) to ` 14.11 crore (2013-14) and ICF - `

0.01 crore (2009-10) to ` 2.34 crore (2013-14). On ICF the loss due to classification of new stores as second hand materials has increased

from ` 0.17 crore (2009-10) to ` 0.92 crore (2013-14) i.e., 441 per cent.

The deficiencies due to Stock Verification of the Indian Railways were

to the tune of ` 12.08 crore. SCR has topped the list with ` 4.07 crore

followed by NR with ` 2.49 crore, DLW with ` 1.63 crore and WR

with ` 1.02 crore.

Indian Railways exhibited an amount of ` 528.19 crore as deficiencies due to miscellaneous reasons. A test check revealed that the deficiency

showed an increasing trend on ER - ` 10.49 crore (2009-10) to ` 17.85

crore (2013-14), NR - ` 58.83 crore (2009-10) to ` 102.00 crore

(2013-14), NWR - ` 2.00 crore(2009-10) to ` 14.04 crore (2013-14),

crore (2009-10) to ` 208.84 crore (2013-14).

(Annexure-XVII)

A test check revealed that out of the total ‘Dead Surplus Stock’ of `

23.67 crore (2013-14) WR alone has accounted for 87 per cent (i.e. `

20.66 crore) followed by WCR for 11 per cent (i.e. ` 2.76 crore).

Closing Stores Balance of ` 4,213.14 crore includes Scrap Stores

worth ` 198.21 crore (5 per cent) (2013-14).

The certificate of reconciliation with General Books over the signature of Gazetted Officer is not available in the Subsidiary Stores Ledger or the Transaction Statement (NFR and SWR).

It was observed that on the Zonal Railways, the mechanism existing to record the results of review of various 'Exception Reports' generated on the computer in respect of overstock and inactive items etc. is ineffective resulting in accumulation of inactive/ over stock.

3.3.3 Workshop Manufacture Suspense

The ‘Workshop Manufacture Suspense Account23 is operated to book expenses on labour, material and over head charges for a job work undertaken in Railway Workshops for other Departments and Railways. The Debit side of this account shows all expenses incurred on a job in Railway Workshops viz Labour, Stores, Freight charges, Proforma On Cost and Workshop Transfers. The Credit side shows the cost of job transferred to Final Heads of concerned Department for whom job was undertaken. The balance represents the outlay on Works in progress and Completed works which are awaiting acceptance of the parties ordered for manufacture.

Review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed the following:

On IR the net debit balance outstanding under WMS Account was ` 1380.05 crore (31.03.2014)

In Five Zonal Railways there are long pending items awaiting clearance. The outstanding dates back to 1967(NR), 1995(NER), 2005(CLW), 2008(NWR), 2009(DLW) and 2011 (NFR, RCF).

The amount of outstanding dues for jobs undertaken in workshops for

outsiders without sufficient deposits works to ` 24.35 crore (ER), `

4.51 crore (NER), ` 4.44 crore (NWR) and ` 59.33 crore (ICF). On

Report No. ___ of 2015 Page 19

ICF, an amount of ` 57.91 crore out of ` 59.33 crore is shown as due from Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation Limited for over two year

SCR the net debit balance of ` 9.27 crore outstanding under WMS Account was (31.03.2014) stated to be relating to period less than one year old, whereas a review of records of sub workshop revealed that pending items relating to 2012-13 are still awaiting clearance but not shown as outstanding in the WMS Account.}

The mechanism to watch that the outstanding balances are within the prescribed limits fixed by Railway Board on ECR, SER, SWR, and SR (Engineering Workshop). Is ineffectual and the WMS balances are therefore not within the prescribed limits fixed by Railway Board. On SCR no limits are fixed by the Railway Board and the method of keeping the balance within limit is done in an ideal conventional tentative method.

there were delays in conducting the periodical review of on cost and retrospective revision of prices for manufacture and repair work orders was not acceptable to the parties which resulted either in accumulation of outstanding recoverable balance or stock under the Suspense head.

Balance outstanding on this account on NWR was ` 5.73 crore, SECR

- ` 4.79 crore and WR - ` 6.75 crore.

Para-1224 of Mechanical Code stipulates that details under WMS consist of nothing else except cost of labour, material and on cost charges expended on unfinished or completed jobs awaiting adjustments. ECR and NWR stated that no item-wise details are available for outstanding balances. SR stated that ferrous scrap was shown as outstanding. SWR stated that no proper mechanism exists. Thus, it is clear that the mechanism to ensure that only the cost of labour, material and on cost expended on unfinished jobs or completed jobs are shown as closing balance awaiting adjustment put in place by Railways is not efficient.

3.4 Remittance Transactions

Transactions between the Ministry of Railways and Other Ministries or States for which the accounts are not maintained by themselves are ‘Remittance Transactions’.

3.4.1 Reserve Bank Suspense

‘Reserve Bank Suspense24’ is operated for the temporary adjustment of transactions initiated by other Accounts Officers of Non-Railway Government Departments. On receipt of accounts from such Accounts Officers various items included therein are adjusted against the final heads of accounts by per

24 Para 436 of Accounts Code, Vol.I

contra credit/debit to the head ‘. On receipt of the clearance memo from the Reserve Bank, the head ‘Reserve Bank Suspense’ is debited/credited by credit or debit to the head ‘Reserve Bank Deposit (Railways)’. Normally all items under ‘Reserve Bank Suspense’ should be cleared by the close of March Accounts. However, if there is any balance un-cleared at the end of the year the same should be transferred to Misc. Advances or Deposit Misc Capital or Revenue as the case may be.

A review of the balances under this suspense revealed that:

On IR the outstanding balances as shown in the Balance Sheet as on

31st March 2014 was (-) ` 3.14 crore. Zonal Railways which are

exhibiting negative balance are CR- ` 0.23 crore, ECR – ` 0.12 crore,

NR - ` 0.21 crore , SR - ` 0.08 crore and SER - ` 4.02 crore. Negative balance implies that balance kept under RBS is cleared without linking with the clearance memos received in excess of debit or credit. The other Zonal Railways which accounted for Debit balance are ER, SWR and WR.

The Reserve Bank Suspense is showing minus outstanding balances during the last 5 years though Para- 436 and 617 of Account Code Vol.I stipulates that these are to be transferred to Misc Advances or Misc Deposits as the case may be.

The outstanding balances shown were 2009-10- ` 3.23 crore, 2010-11 `

3.87 crore, 2011-12 - ` 3.80 crore, 2012-13- ` 3.63 crore and 2013-14 -

` 3.14 crore which indicates that the balances of un-cleared items at the close of the financial year are not transferred to the Misc. Advances or Deposit Misc Capital or Revenue.

(Annexure-XIX)

The Suspense head is not maintained in accordance to the prescribed rules and balances are allowed to remain in the account without transferring to the Misc Advances or Deposit Misc.

Ministry of Railways should ensure that steps are taken to ensure that supporting vouchers are received along with advance schedules and at the end of the month all items are reconciled with the Clearance Memo received from the Reserve Bank of India, Central Accounts Section, and Nagpur. Instructions may be issued to the Zonal Railways for strict compliance of the procedure envisaged in Para 436 of the Indian Railways Code for the Accounts Department (Vol.I) and the un-cleared balances under this Suspense Head should be transferred to Misc. Advances or Misc. Deposits (Capital or Revenue), as the case may be.

3.4.2 Remittances intoBank

The Suspense Head ‘Remittances into Bank’25 is operated to record the remittance of earnings of Stations into the Banks. This Suspense head is debited with amount of all Remittance Notes. Daily statements received from nominated Banks should be checked with the Cash remittance notes received from Cash Office. At the end of the month on receipt of monthly advice from the Banks, the total amount of the remittance acknowledged by the Bank will be credited to ‘Remittance into Bank’ The balance under this suspense head, therefore, represents the amount deposited into bank but not acknowledged by them. The responsibility of Daily and monthly reconciliation rests with FA&CAO The balance under this head i.e. Remittances into Bank is a Debit Balance and is exhibited on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet of Indian Railways as ‘Minus’.

A review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed that:

Though the Balance under ‘Remittances into Bank’ is always a debit balance, as per the Indian Railway Balance Sheet the balance shown was always a Credit Balance (i.e. remittances acknowledged by Reserve Bank in excess of Cash Remittance Notes actually accounted in the Books termed as’ adverse balance’). During the last 5 years the

balances shown on the Liabilities Side of the Balance Sheet were `

972.18 crore (2009-10), ` 610.68 crore (2010-11), ` 546.13 crore

(2011-12), ` 988.25 crore (2012-13) and ` 703.34 crore (2013-14).

The adverse balances under this head are mainly due to unidentified and unlinked credits (ER), non reconciliation of balances (SWR) and receipt of credit towards freight charges through e payments before accrual of debit (SER and WCR). In 7 accounting units out of ten on SCR, there are adverse balances as on 31.03.2014 due to non receipt of supporting vouchers.

There are delays in receipt of Memo of Clearance from the Bank on ECR, NR, NCR and SCR due to inaction of the Railways to correspond with Banks instantaneously..

No Prompt action was taken to dispose the discrepancies noticed during the reconciliation of credit scrolls with the counterfoils of Cheques and Cash Remittance Notes by corresponding with the banks which resulted in long outstanding balances under this Suspense Head (ECR, SR, SCR and WR).

The General Books are closed every month for compilation of Monthly Account Current. For this purpose various subsidiary registers are to be totaled up and reconciled with the General Books. Certificate of reconciliation is to be recorded in the subsidiary register under the signature of Accounts Officer26. It was pointed out by NR, NFR, SCR & SWR that the certificate of reconciliation with General Books over

the signature of Gazetted Officer is not available in the Subsidiary Registers.

(Annexure-XIX)

The outstanding balance under this Suspense Head indicates failure to reconcile the remittances with Banks. Accumulation of balances denotes poor co-ordination between the Railways and the designated banks and inadequate monitoring of timely receipt of Bank Scrolls by the Zonal Railway Administration. The present internal control mechanism requires to be fortified to ensure that there are no negative balances.

Ministry of Railways should ensure that steps are taken to analyze the old outstanding items and prompt action is taken to correspond with the Banks and get the items reconciled and cleared as delay may lead to fraud and loss to Railways.

3.4.3 Cheques and Bills

Suspense Head ‘Cheques and Bills’27 is operated under Major Head ‘L-Suspense and Miscellaneous Suspense Accounts. When Cheques are issued the head ‘Cheques and Bills’ is credited with the amount of cheques issued. At the end the head ‘Cheques and Bills’ is debited with the total amount of the Cheques paid (i.e. cashed at the Banks) as advised by the Reserve Bank after reconciliation with the counterfoils of cheques issued The balance under this suspense head, therefore, represents total value of uncashed cheques. . The Balance under this head is a ‘Credit Balance’ and is exhibited on the Liabilities Side of the Balance Sheet of Indian Railways. The balances under this Suspense Head should always be The amounts relating to uncashed cheques remaining for more than six months after the date of issue should be cleared from this Suspense head treating them as ‘Railway Earnings’ and credited to Abstract-Z 'Sundry Earnings'.

A review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed the following:

The Balance under ‘Cheques and Bills’ is always a Credit balance (i.e.

amount of cheques issued) However, on NWR - (-) ` 92.43 crore and

DLW - (-) ` 12.31 crore the account of this suspense head was maintained inefficiently resulting in adverse balance (i.e. Cheques encashed are more than cheques issued- Debit Balance) to end of March 2014. .

The outstanding at the end of March 2014- ` 2,882.98 crore included substantial balance which pertained to earlier years 2004-05(SCR & SWR) 2006-07 (SECR) 2008-09 (ECoR) 2010-11 (RCF).

Reconciliation procedures were not followed on NR & NCR and mechanism to ensure that there are no delays in receipt of Memo of Clearance from the Bank on NR, NCR SWR and WCR proved to be inadequate.

The Balance shown as outstanding under this Suspense Head relates to periods more than six months which clearly denotes that discrepancies noticed during the reconciliation of credit scrolls with the date wise monthly summaries of bank were not intimated to Banks promptly under this Suspense Head. In contravention of codal provisions (Para 444-Accounts Code Volume-I) the balances are allowed to remain in

this head instead of transferring to the Earnings to the tune of ` 63.30 crore.

(Annexure-XIX(a))

Year-wise break up of outstanding balances not furnished by the Zonal Railway Administrations (ECR, SR, SWR, WCR).

The certificate of reconciliation with General Books over the signature of Gazetted Officer is not available in the Subsidiary Register.

(Annexure XIX)

The provisions of Para 444-A.I (Note) are not being strictly followed and no concrete steps are being taken to initiate action to get the approval of FA&CAO for transfer of the amount of cheques remaining un-cashed for more than 6/3 months after the date of issue to Earning-Abstract Z-650-Other unclassified receipts or works concerned according to the transaction for which it relates even though half yearly review of the balance under the head ‘Cheques and Bills’ is done and report sent to Railway Board .

As to the extent the amounts outstanding under Cheques and Bills, the cash balance stands overstated, the Ministry of Railways should ensure that steps are taken to analyze the old outstanding items and prompt action to be taken to correspond with the Banks and get the items reconciled and cleared as delay may lead to fraud and loss to Railways.

3.4.4 PAO Suspense

This suspense head28 is operated for the settlement of inter departmental and inter governmental transactions arising in the books of Railway Accounts Offices. Outstanding Debit balance under this Suspense Head would mean that payments made on behalf of other Accounts Officers are yet to be recovered. Outstanding Credit balance under this Suspense Head would mean that payments have been received by the PAO on behalf of other PAOs which are yet to be paid. The balance under this head is exhibited on the Liabilities Side of the Balance Sheet of Indian Railways.

A review of the balances under this Suspense Head revealed the following:

The outstanding debit balance under ‘PAO Suspense’ as compared to

2009-10 (` 210.49 crore) increased in 2013-14 (` 240.51 crore). The major Zonal Railways which contributed for the increase in the balance are ER, NWR, SR, SCR, WR and WCR.

Credit Balance was shown by CR (` 3.06 crore), which would mean that payments have been received but are yet to be paid.

The heavy and continuous growth in the ‘PAO Suspense’ indicates lack of proper communication with different PAOs for clearing these balances.

(Annexure XX)

3.5 Conclusion

The growth of suspense balances is due to the following reasons:

Importance of clearance of suspense balances is not fully realized by the Executive/Accounts Departments.

Expenditure is allocated indiscriminately to suspense heads without making efforts to allocate the same to the final heads of account.

No proper action is taken to adjust them as early as possible either by debit to the relevant final head or by transfer to other accounting units to which they pertain.

Incomplete or incorrect postings in the suspense register without particulars and details etc resulting in difficulties in linking the items at the time of clearance.

Continued and Effective review is not done to clear the items resulting in items becoming old and difficult to clear

The year wise break up of balances under various suspense heads are not maintained as the Zonal Railways are not furnishing the Half yearly review reports to Railway Board as envisaged in the Codes29.

3.6 Recommendation

Over all following measures are suggested for clearance of the amounts lying in Suspense Accounts:

No item should be placed under “Suspense” unless order of the competent authority is obtained.

Both Executive and Accounts should make efforts for clearance of suspense balances.

Executive should keep a record of all transactions placed under suspense and take action in close collaboration with the Accounts.

Complete and correct posting and balancing should be made in the Suspense Registers.

Items of dispute should be settled on the spot during reconciliation meetings.

Corrective steps need to be taken for reconciliation of excessive old items by the higher authorities to clear the old outstanding balances.
