For the existing Government of India’s decision (1) below rule 116, the following shall be substituted:
“Government of India’ decision(1):-
The position of library books, etc. is different from that of other
stores. Accordingly, the following procedures shall be observed for purchase, write off, disposal of
mutilated/damaged books and physical verification of books in the libraries attached to the various
Departments/Offices:-
(i)
Librarian (not below the rank of Deputy Secretary to the Govt. of India) subject to the powers
delegated under Delegation of Financial Powers Rules, 1978, may purchase books etc. from the
reputed and standard booksellers on the prevalent terms and conditions. Tenders need not be called
for this purpose.
(ii)
Loss of three volumes per one thousand volumes issued consulted in a year may be taken as
reasonable provided such loss cannot be attributed to dishonesty or negligence on the part of
Librarian. Loss of a book of the value exceeding Rs.200 (Rs. two hundred) and the books of special
nature and rarity shall invariably be investigated and consequential action taken. All such losses
will however be written off only by a competent authority.
(iii) Librarian who is of the rank not below Deputy Secretary to the Government of India or Head of
the Department may write off the loss of volumes mentioned in the preceding paragraph provided
the total value of all such books, etc. does not exceed the monetary limit prescribed in the Delegation
in respect of deficiencies and depreciations in the value of stores (other than a motor vehicle or
a motor cycle) included in the stock and other accounts. In the event of the total value exceeding
the monetary limit specified above. The loss of books shall be written off by the competent authority
as per Delegation of Financial Powers Rules 1978.
(iv) There may be no objection to the Librarian disposing of mutilated/damaged/obsolete volumes to
the best interest of the Library. However, the disposal of such volumes should be made on the
recommendations of a three member Committee to be appointed by the Administrative Ministry/
Department which shall decide whether the books mutilated/damaged/obsolete are not fit for
further use.
(v)
Complete annual physical verification of books should be done every year in the case of Libraries
having not more than 20,000 volumes and not fewer than two library qualified staff. In case there
is only one qualified staff the verification may be done as per sub-para (vi).
(vi) Complete physical verification at intervals of not more than three years should be done in the case
of libraries having more than 20,000 but not more than 50,000 volumes.
(vii) Sample physical verification at intervals of not more than five years may be done in the case of
libraries having more than 50,000 volumes. If such a sample verification reveals unusual or
unreasonable shortages, complete verification shall be done.
(viii) The verification should always be subject to surprise test check by some independent officers. The
decision regarding the selection of the staff to whom this work may be entrusted, should be taken
by the Administrative Ministries/Departments and Heads of Departments”.
