USE OF SERVICE MONEY ORDERS

The case for remitting advances etc. has been reconsidered and it has been decided that the facility of remittances of salary and advances to the staff of Department of posts/telecom by service Money order be provided as earlier but the dues of contractors should not be remitted by service money order. If a contract provides for payment on contracted expenses, a cheque including commission for outstation clearance charges should be adequate and there is no need to send dues of contractor, through service money orders.

The service Money order facility should be used only for the purpose which are clearly specified in the note below Rule 679 of P&T Manual Vol.ll and not for any other purpose and facility of SMO should be used only when the payment cannot be made conveniently in some other way.
