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.
