SUB POST OFFICE INSPECTION QUESTIONNAIRE

PART-I - ACCOUNTS

1. Verify cash and stamps balance of the office with reference to respective stamp balance register and treasurers cash book taking into account all the transactions. In order to confirm the balances lying with the SO, compare the balances shown on the last acknowledged SO slip with that of SO account and see that the balance arrived at tallies.

1.1 See that vouchers in respect of balances forming part of cash are sent to concerned sanctioning authority and the proof of having sent these vouchers for sanction is on record. The details of such vouchers should be noted in the inspection report. In case some voucher is forming part of cash balance for a period of more than one year, a special reference indicating the date from which such amount is forming part of cash balance should be reflected in the IR.

1.2 See that amount kept out of account is correct and there are valid reasons for keeping it as out of account. Also suggest remedial measures, so that the cash can be accounted for on the same day.

1.3 Check the register of cheques received and see that the register is maintained in prescribed proforma and that cheques do not suffer delay. In case of delay, the reasons should be ascertained and reflected in the IR. This check should be carried out for four days selected at random preferably one day in each quarter.

  1. Check the memo of authorised balances and take action for revision of authorised balances, if required as per the requirements of Sub Post Office.
  2. Check the BO daily account last received in the SO and confirm that the balances lying with BOs are tallying with the entries made in BO Summary. See that total of BO summary tallies with the corresponding entry in the SO A/c. Similar check should be exercised for one day in one quarter

i.e. in all for 4 days in a year selected at random.

Examine SB-28 receipts issued, selected at random for 4 dates since last inspection to ensure that prescribed SB-28 receipts are issued to depositors in each case where pass book is detained in the post office. Verify that the original copies of receipt with the acquittance of depositor are kept on record. In case of non-availability of any original receipts see that reasons are explained to your satisfaction. Satisfy that the balances shown in the receipts agree with that noted in the ledger of the concerned account and that unused receipts are intact.

30. Verify the stock balance of pass books in the office in respect of all types of Saving accounts viz. SB / RD/TD / MIS / PPF etc. w.r.t the stock register of the pass books, invoices and specimen signature books.

Sl. SB Account DLT Balance as per last
No. Number transaction in the
journal / ledger

Contact the depositors of each of these 15 accounts personally and verify whether the DLT and the balance shown in the pass books agree with the entries in the list. If any of the depositors are not available, record the fact in your inspection note. Prepare a form in SB-46 and have the same delivered personally at the address of the depositor along with a service cover addressed to the Postmaster.

Hard copy of the reports are being taken and filed properly.
The data installation has been done properly and correctly by test checking.
That the inbound complaint enquiries in respect of RL / RP / VPL / VPP etc. are processed in the computer (query) and the reply is being given accordingly.
Cancellation of Transaction : ‘Meghdoot Millennium’ is designed as an integrated package for the entire gamut of operations in post office. It is therefore, essential to ensure data integrity in order to provide correct data to Accounts Offices, PLI etc. The System Administrator, therefore, is provided with a facility to cancel a transactions after the receipt is printed. This necessity may arise when the counter clerk prints receipt in haste without collecting the cash and the customer does not tender the full amount. Whenever a transaction is cancelled, the System Administrator is required to collect the receipt, cancel it and paste it in the Error Book kept with the Postmaster. The day-end report generated by the counter operator gives details of the transactions cancelled. There is also provision for the Supervisor to generate a consolidated list of cancelled transactions for that day. Check the entries in the register with the day-end reports.
It is very important that a suitable official who is easily accessible is selected as System Administrator in each office. The Postmaster is an ideal choice. But, it must be ensured that the System Administrator password is not known to anybody else in the office.
Server in Cabinet : The offices where the software is installed on a LAN, the server should be kept at secure place in a cabinet locked so that unauthorized persons can not have access.
Disabling Floppy Drives : To prevent virus entering the networks the floppy drives on the clients except the client used by the Supervisor should be disabled. Check whether this has been done.
Anti - virus : The machines where floppy drive has to be active for operational reasons should be loaded with latest anti-virus package and auto-protect should also be enabled. Check whether this has been done.
