It is, therefore, requested that a circular on the basis of the draft already supplied to you along with this Department’s Circular No. 427, dated 31-7-1985 may please be issued to all Treasury Officers and Sub-Treasury Officers under your control individually after deleting all references to surcharge made therein and also after making necessary corrections in respect of the year wherever applicable.
