While recording the statments after the check despite the reconcilation of pending postings were not done when asked who is repsonsible, the officer responded that the immediate stock rooms personnels who are handling day to day transactions are primarily responsible and the officer concerned being a overall incharge of this stock room plus other additional stock rooms and some additional assignments is also responsible. For this simple reply the department had advsed deduction from salary of amount say about Rs 10000/-. The officer seeks clarity as under.
