or in a form prescribed in para 505.
When specially permitted to furnish security partly in one and partly in another of the prescribed forms
of security the depositor will execute a separate bond for each of the forms of security furnished.
Where security is furnished in cash, it may be converted, at the depositor’s cost, into any of the
interest-bearing forms of security enumerated in para 505 provided;
(i) the depositor has expressly requested in writing
that this be done and
(ii) the acceptance of the new form or forms of security is permissible under the rules and under
the terms of the bond.
Note–Cash security paid in instalments may also be converted into any of the interest-bearing forms
even when the security has not been realised in full.
l04. When a depositor has furnished security in the form of a fidelity bond, the head of the office
concerned should see that the depositor pays on the due dates the premia necessary to keep it alive and
continues to do so until a period of six months has elapsed since he vacated his office. If the depositor fails to
deliver the premium receipt to the authority concerned, he shoud be removed from his post atonce.

bonds will be kept in the safe custody of the head of the office concerned.

after the 15th June on each year, so that necessary entries on account of interest may be made in them. 2. In
the case of deposit receipts of banks, the depositor should receive the interest when due, direct from the bank
on a letter from the pledgee authorising the bank to pay it to them.
Government promissory notes, Post Office cash certificates and Defence Savings or National Saving
certificates, Municipal debentures and Port Trust bonds deposited as security will be lodged for safe custody
with the manager of the Reserve Bank at places where there are offices of that bank and with the District
treasury in other places in accordance with the rules in Chapter IX of the Government Securites Manual.
l06. A security deposit will be retained for at least six months from the date when the depositor
vacates his post but a security bond should be retained permanently or until it is certain that there is no further
necessity for keeping it.
Without the special orders of the competent authority as mentioned in para 102, no security deposit
should be re-paid or re-transferred to the depositor or otherwise disposed of, except in accordance with the
terms of his security bond. At the time of returning the security to the depositor, the head of the office
concerned will invariably obtain his acknowledgement duly signed and witnessed. When an interest-bearing
security is returned or re-transferred, the acknowledgement will set forth full particulars of the security.
