KLH’s West Bengal Government Officers’ Manual by Arun Kumar Mallick – 1st Edition 2025.

The “How-To” Guide for Every DDO and Head of Office.

While West Bengal Service Rules (by R.R. De) teaches you the Law, this manual by Arun Kumar Mallick teaches you the Procedure.

Government finance is technical. A slight error in a “Bill Form” or a “Cash Book” entry can lead to an objection by the Treasury or the Audit team. This book acts as a step-by-step mentor, guiding Drawing & Disbursing Officers (DDOs) through the daily operational tasks of running a government office—from processing salary bills to handling secret service funds.

• It lists the exact documents and certificates that must be attached to each bill to ensure it passes the Treasury checks without rejection.
