In the reference fourth read above, orders were issued dispensing with schedule for presentation of bills to the Pay and Accounts Officers / Assistant Pay and Accounts Officers with effect from April 01, 2014 and ordered revised procedure for processing the bills.

2. The Government, in its endeavour to streamline the public financial management system to facilitate prompt delivery of required funds to the programmes and schemes, has been introducing a series of reforms. The foremost being the issuance of Comprehensive Budget Release Order (CBRO) for the entire financial year, duly replacing the earlier quarterly Budget Release Order (BRO), and introduction of Comprehensive Budget Distribution Order (CBDO) system to ensure streamlined flow of cash every month based on the approved work plan and pace of project implementation to the operational units.

3. In the reference seventh read above, while introducing the CBRO system, the Government has empowered the departments to distribute the approved Budget in accordance with the work plan and priorities of the operational units of the department through the CBDO system. This is intended to facilitate availability of funds to the departments at the time and place of requirement.To complement and supplement the process for streamlining the payment process, it was felt necessary to rationalise the existing system for presentation of bills to the Treasuries/ PAOs, so that payment can be made more expeditiously.

Accordingly, the Government has carefully reviewed the existing schedule for presentation of bills by the Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDO) to the Treasury / Pay and Accounts Officers, with specific reference to the payment schedule and effective cash management system, and has decided to revise the schedule for presentation of bills and payment to the authorised vendors, clients,employees and other recipients with effect from May 01, 2016.
