(iii) The accounts officer shall, after verification with the ledger account, issue an authority for the amount indicated in the application at least a month before the date of superannuation but payable on the date of superannuation.

(iv) The authority mentioned in clause (iii) will constitute the first instalment of payment. A second authority for payment will be issued as soon as possible after superannuation. This will relate to the contribution made by the subscriber subsequent to the amount mentioned in the application submitted under clause (i) plus the refund of instalments against advances which were current at the time of the first application.

(v) after forwarding the application for final payment to the accounts officer, advance / withdrawal may be sanctioned but the amount of advance / withdrawal shall be drawn on an authorisation from the accounts officer concerned who shall arrange this as soon as formal sanction of sanctioning authority is received by him.
