(ii) The Ministry or Head of the Department concerned should certify, on the basis of the previous financial year's average, the amount of Cash disbursed and sanction the rate of Cash Handling and Treasury Allowance appropriate to that quantum.

(iii) The Cash Handling and Treasury Allowance granted to the official should be reviewed every financial year.
