Gujarat Government Rule on Library Stock Verification & Responsibility of Lost Books

Dear Professionals,

I want to know about it that after the time of library stock verification, when we found some books missing, what is the rule for us to follow. How much amount the management will cut from Librarian's salary. Is librarian responsible for all these while they are paying them a very less salary?

kindly reply soon.

Thank you

I dont know the Gujarat Government's take on this. However as per the finance rule 2005, loss of books whose value is more than Rs. 1000 should be investigated. Loss of five books per 1000 transcation should be taken as reasonable loss.

Loss of books and stock verification is discussed many time over LIS Links, kindly click on the forum page and then search in the small search box to locate the earlier discussion on this.

Thank you for your reply.  I have seen GFR2005 page no. 38, it is clearly mentioned that Loss of five volumes per one thousand volumes of books issued/consulted in a year may be taken as reasonable provided such losses are not attributable to dishonesty or negligence.

Thank you Mr. Badan and Mr. Chandrashekhar.
