ORDER:
The Government of Tamil Nadu is granting various interest free and

and advances are included under Demand 16 – Finance Department:-

4. Marriage Advance 7610 00 800 AC 0106 50,00

Except Marriage Advance, all other advances are administered by the

Director of Treasuries and Accounts.

2) In respect of Advances administered by the Director of Treasuries

and Accounts, funds are allocated based on requirement from the Heads of
Department / District Collectors. Whereas, in the case of Marriage Advance,
sanction is accorded for notional allocation of funds to Heads of Department /
District Collectors without knowing the actual requirement. This kind of fund
allocation led to under utilization of funds by certain departments / districts
 2

and pendency of application for want of funds in some other departments /

districts. Consequently, the huge surrender of funds occurred resulting to
adverse remarks from the Accountant General (A&E).

3) The Government, after careful examination, has decided to

streamline the administration of the Marriage Advance scheme. Accordingly,
Government direct that the administration of the Marriage Advance Scheme
be entrusted to the Director of Treasuries and Accounts as in the case of
other advances listed above and issue the following orders:-

(i) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall be the administrator of

Marriage Advance Scheme from the year 2016-2017;
(ii) The funds provided in the Budget Estimate 2016-17 under the Head
of Account ‘7610 00 800 AC’- included in Demand 16 – Finance
Department, shall be allocated to the Heads of Department and
District Collectors based on requirement;
(iii) The Heads of Department and District Collectors shall send their
requirement to the Director of Treasuries and Accounts and get
funds for sanctioning Marriage Advance to the Government
employees under their control as in the case of other advances;
(iv) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall be the Estimating,
Reconciling and Controlling authority for the head of account
7610 00 800 AC;
(v) The Heads of Department and District Collectors shall follow the
existing Government Orders and instructions governing the sanction
of Marriage Advance;
(vi) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall follow the usual
procedures for allotment of funds as applicable to other advances;
and
(vii) The Director of Treasuries and Accounts shall issue instructions to
Heads of Departments/ District Collectors on modalities for seeking
funds to sanction Marriage Advance.
