Payment to non-resident or inform assignees

Payment to non-resident or inform assignees - The procedure as regards payment to non-resident jagirdars, who fail to appear for the purpose within one month of the date of collection through the tehsil agency is given in paragraph 289 of the Sub-Treasury Manual.  To jagirdars who are unable to appear in person because of bodily illness or infirmity, the Government have allowed the payment of the jagir money on the production of a life certificate signed by a reasonable Government official or some other trustworthy person. The disbursing officer should, however, guard against fraud and must at least once a year require proof, independent of that furnished by the life certificate, that the jagirdar is alive.  Articles 945 and 947 of the Civil Service Regulations may be followed as parallel.
