153. A Veterinary Inspector is a Drawing Officer and signs his salary
and abstract contingent bills. He also signs travelling allowance bills, but
they require countersignature by the Controlling Officer.
154. The following procedure will be observed in drawing and distri-
buting the pay and travelling allowance of Veterinary Assistants:—
(a) For all Veterinary Assistants not attached to districts who are
working directly under the orders of the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, a single pay bill should be prepared
on establishment pay bill form and forwarded to the Comp-
troller, Central Provinces, for pre-audit and payment: on re-
ceipt of a cheque, the amount so drawn will be disbursed
by the Superintendent to the Veterinary Assistants, and their
receipts taken on the Acquittance Register. In case a
Veterinary Assistant is on itinerant duty at the time that his
pay is drawn, an extract from the pay bill in Form No. 263 of
Schedule No. III (which should be altered to suit requirements)
should be filled in and submitted with the bill, when an order
for payment at the Treasury or Sub-Treasury of the place
at which the Veterinary Assistant may be on duty will be
issued by the Comptroller, Central Provinces.
(b) Travelling allowance bills of Veterinary Assistants not attached
to districts should be dealt with in the same manner as pay
bills. A separate travelling allowance bill should be pre-
pared for each Veterinary Assistant, and all the journeys
performed by him during the month to which the claim
refers should be included in that bill, so as to obviate the
preparation of too many bills. These bills should merely
be signed by the Drawing Officer in the spaces provided for
his signature, before their submission to the Comptroller,
Central Provinces, for pre-audit and payment.
(c) The Veterinary Assistants attached to Dispensaries at district
head-quarters and tahsils will prepare their own pay bills
on establishment pay bill form, and send them to the Deputy
Commissioner of the district for signature. That officer
