As per practice, the Election Officer usually estimates the expenditure on communications and transportation along with required arrangements and takes advance from the funds of the Coop.Society's from the Secretary of the incumbent Executive Committe and then renders the account back to the newly elected body i.e. President/Secretary.  All that expenditure shall be properly vouched which will be subjected to audit by the Auditors deputed from the panel of the Coop.Department.  I am not able to know how without any advance the Coop.Dept deputed Election Officer has incurred the expenditure and now raising a bill for Rs.45000.  However, as per Cooperative law and rules, the election expenditure is to be borne by the incumbent body of the concerned Coop.society.

My question is on whose account, means on whose name the cheque shall be given. Whether co operative department (tdr/ddr) or the election officer.

Pay the one who billed you i.e. Election Officer since he is the one who was authorised to conduct elections by the Cooperative Department.
