The HLTC observed that in certain cases the

 As per Article 198 of AP Financial Code Vol.I and para 136 and 137 of APPW ”D” code, the ordinary repairs estimate for Roads and Buildings lapse on the last day of the Financial Year. In case of
Irrigation works, separate dates have been stipulated therein.
 The HLTC recommended to relax the rule relating to validity of the estimates for AMEs/ O&M for the purpose of payment of bills as in certain cases the payments are not being made in full during
the financial year.

2. The CCOs shall ensure appropriate provision in the BE to meet the cost of Maintenance as per norms
3. The DDOs shall prefer the bills invariably in CFMS within the validity of the estimates as stipulated in the code. The relaxation granted now is only for the purpose of the payment but not for
execution of the work.
4. While according technical sanction the following certificate shall be furnished invariably:
“Certified that the liabilities are not included in the estimate for Annual Maintenance/ O&M/ Ordinary repairs and it is prepared strictly adhering to the Physical and Financial norms approved by
