What the document changes
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Revenue (LRI.2) Department, issued G.O.Ms.No.273, dated 30 July 2012, to simplify how expenditure under the Chief Minister's Uzhavar Pathukappu Thittam, 2011 is recorded. It changes the accounting arrangement in paragraph 8 of G.O.Ms.No.265, dated 10 September 2011, by reducing 32 sub-heads to three sub-heads.
The revised arrangement came into force on 1 August 2012. It was introduced because district officials faced difficulties booking and reconciling expenditure, requesting funds under numerous accounts and preparing revised estimate and final modified appropriation proposals.

Revised accounting structure
G.O.Ms.No.273 groups expenditure under three sub-heads:
- General.
- Special Component Plan for Scheduled Castes.
- Tribal Area Sub-Plan.
Each group uses separate sub-detailed heads for pension related spending and grants for specified assistance. Pension and postal expenditure are booked under the relevant social security pension head. Marriage, education, natural death, accidental death and injury, and funeral assistance are booked under the relevant grants-in-aid head.
The Government also reallocated funds across the six sub-detailed heads, pending re-appropriation through the revised estimate and final modified appropriation process for 2012-2013.
