Sr. Accounts Officer of the Fund for and on behalf of the RSWC in the presence of YZ.(One witness who should add his designation and address).Appendix 'A'General principals which should determine the grant of an advance from the General Provident Fund.1. The fund is designed solely for the protection of a subscriber's family against his sudden death, or, if he survives until retirement, to provide both him and them with additional resources in his old age. Anything which interferes with a subscriber's normal accumulations detracts from these purposes and tends to defeat the true object of the fund. Rule 15 merely permits a temporary and wholly exceptional departure from the real purposes of the scheme, and, unless it is strictly interpreted, there is danger that subscribers will come to regard the fund as an ordinary banking account, the existence, of which absolves them from the necessity of providing for the normal incidents of life with the prudence which a private individual would exercise. The inevitable result if this tendency is countenanced, will be to discourage thrift, and to leave the subscriber with a depleted account at the time when it ought to be most helpful to him or his family. Sanctioning authorities ought, therefore, to have no hesitation in resisting any attempt to use the fund as a cheap loan account, and in enforcing the altogether exceptional character of Rule 15 as a provision to meet urgent needs which could not ordinarily have been anticipated. Every prudent married man, for example, should be prepared to meet a certain demand upon his resources on account of doctor's bills, and it is only when the burden is exceptionally prolonged or the necessity unusually grave and sudden, that he ought to think of making use of the Provident Fund for this object.
2. For the same reasons, a careful scrutiny should be applied to request for withdrawals on account of marriage or funeral expenses. Even where ceremonial expenditure is by religious custom obligatory, its extent should nevertheless be limited by the resources of the family, and no subscriber should be enable to enhance such expenditure on the strength of deposits in the fund. An advance from the Fund can legitimately be made for obligatory caremonial expenditure where no other resources exist but not in order to raise such expenditure to a more pretentious scale.
3. The intention of these instructions is not to limit the powers of the authorities competent to sanction withdrawals from the Fund in cases of absolute necessity, but the observance of the principles enunciated above is in the real interest of the body of subscribers to the Fund.
Appendix 'B'1. When the subscriber leaves no family and no nomination made by him in accordance with the provisions of the Rule 11 subsists, or if such nomination relates only to part of the amount standing to his credit in the fund, the relevant provisions of Clause (b) and of sub-clause (ii) of Clause (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 4 of the Provident Funds Act, 1925 are applicable to the whole amount or the part thereof to which the nomination does not relate.
