Purpose
The Revenue [Land Reforms I (2)] Department issued Government Order (Ms.) Number 469, dated 21 October 2014, to fund the completion of record preservation and management work in the Land Reforms Department. The funding covers both the department's headquarters and its district offices.
The work arose under the Part II Scheme for 2013-2014. Earlier government orders had sanctioned Rs.10.27 lakhs for headquarters records and Rs.57.18 lakhs for district office records. The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms reported delays in implementing the scheme and requested funding for the remaining expenditure during 2014-2015.

- Rs.9.92 lakhs for expenditure on preservation and management of records at the Land Reforms Department headquarters.
- Rs.54.18 lakhs for expenditure on preservation and management of records at the department's district offices.
The headquarters amount is lower than the Rs.9.93 lakhs requested by the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms. The district office sanction matches the requested residual expenditure of Rs.54.18 lakhs.
Financial administration
Government Order (Ms.) Number 469 assigns the headquarters expenditure to the Director of Land Reforms headquarters staff account and the district expenditure to the sub-divisional establishment account. Both amounts are classified as payments for professional and special services.
