MISCELLANEOUS
Rule 10.164
10.164. Police Lands Fund. - Revenue and expenditure in connection with police
lands (vide rule 3.28 et.seq.) shall be accounted for in the police lands fund. Payments to
this fund shall be made in the manner prescribed in rule 10.50(b). Expenditure from the
fund can be incurred, at the discretion of the Superintendent of Police within his budget
allotment, on the pay of the establishment sanctioned for each district by the Deputy Inspector-General,
on the planting and watering of shade and fruit-trees and ornamental
shrubs, and on similar development of the land calculated to improve the appearance and
amenities of Police Lines and other buildings. If funds are available after the above purposes
have been served, expenditure may be incurred under the specific sanction of the
Deputy Inspector-General in each case, on the purchase and upkeep of utensils for the use
of cooks in the headquarters lines. Sums for expenditure shall be drawn in abstract contingent
bills as prescribed in Appendix 10.111.
Rule 10.165
10.165. Establishments. - All posts on the establishment of the police lands fund are
non-pensionable and can be created only on the authority of the Deputy Inspector-General
of the Range. The Accountant-General shall be supplied by each Deputy
Inspector-General with a statement of all such posts, and all alterations in the establishments
should be similarly communicated.
Rule 10.166
10.166. Budget estimates and allotments for Police lands fund. - (1) Superintendents
of Police shall submit to the Deputy Inspector-General annually on the 1st August
budget estimates of police lands fund revenue and expenditure in Form 10.166(1).
(2) Estimates shall be carefully framed on the principles laid down for other budget estimates.
The relation between revenue and expenditure must vary according to local
conditions. In some places the revenue cannot be expected to provide for the minimum
expenditure, which is necessary to keep the surroundings of police buildings in proper order;
in other places revenue from valuable fruit crops and the like may greatly exceed the
reasonable needs of expenditure. Superintendents in making their estimates and Deputy
Inspectors-General in scrutinizing them are required to consider each case carefully on its
merits and to ensure that steps are taken to credit to the fund all revenue, which can reasonably
be collected from the lands, and that no expenditure is incurred which is not both
consonant with the legitimate purposes of the fund and provided for in the allotment of
funds. Convincing reasons will be required, however, in every case where estimates of
expenditure exceed estimates of revenue.
(3) Deputy Inspectors-General shall submit consolidated estimates in Form 10.166(3)
for their ranges to the Inspector-General not later than 25th September, retaining the original
district estimates in their own offices.
(4) On receipt of intimation from the Inspector-General of the allotments placed at their
disposal, Deputy Inspector-General shall make distribution to districts at their discretion.
Reappropriation with the distribution may be made at the discretion of the Deputy Inspector-General,
who may also, if he considers it necessary, apply to the Inspector-General for
reappropriation from the police lands fund allotment of another range.
Rule 10.167
10.167. Local audit of police accounts. - A special post of auditor is sanctioned in the
office of each range Deputy Inspector-General. These auditors are required to carry out
a thorough audit inspection of the whole of the accounts, including those of the Police Deposit
Fund and General Police Fund, in each district of the range, in conjunction with the
Deputy Inspector-General’s annual inspection of the district. They shall carry out similar
