1. Budgetary Provision: Review all expenditures incurred without valid budgetary provisions.
2. Suspense Heads: Regularly review and take immediate action to liquidate balances under Suspense Heads.
3. NPS Transactions: Ensure the head 0071.01.500.01.00.00 is used for both subscription (credit) and transfer to NSDL (minus credit); the final balance must be NIL.
4. Major Head Restrictions: No expenditure should be booked under MH 2552, 4552, or 6552, except by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region.
5. Contingency Fund: No balance should remain under Major Head 8000 at the end of the Sy-I Accounts for 2025-26.
6. CGEGIS Accounting: Receipts for CGEGIS must be booked at the Minor Head level, while expenditure must be booked at the Sub-Head level (Saving/Insurance Fund).
Important: Accounting heads deleted via Correction Slips to LM&MH must not be reflected in accounts, even if they appear active in the directory.
