Except Marriage Advance, all other advances are administered by theDirector of Treasuries and Accounts.
2) In respect of Advances administered by the Director of Treasuriesnd Accounts, funds are allocated based on requirement from the Heads ofDepartment / District Collectors. Whereas, in the case of Marriage Advance,sanction is accorded for notional allocation of funds to Heads of Department /District Collectors without knowing the actual requirement. This kind of fundallocation led to under utilization of funds by certain departments / districtsand pendency of application for want of funds in some other departments /districts. Consequently, the huge surrender of funds occurred resulting toadverse remarks from the Accountant General (A&E).
