    Index Register and Case File Number

    On receipt of an indent in the Directorate it is first entered in the Diary Register and given a diary number by the Receipt clerk and passed on to the Branch in charge of the Purchase Section concerned. This is then marked to the Record Keeper who is responsible for maintaining the Index Register. This register is maintained in Form S.P. 9. In case there is more than one Record Keeper, the senior clerk (R.K.) will normally be made responsible for maintaining this register. This Record Keeper allots the file number to each indent. The Sr. No. of files is started every year from 1st April, and is continued upto the end of the financial year. The file number is allotted in the following manner

    • First of all is indicated the Sr.No. of index register
    • Next comes the notation ‘HR’
    • Then comes the notation of the particular section as under
      1. G for General Section
      2. E for Engg. Section
      3. TL for Textile Section & Leather Section
    • This is followed by the Serial Number of the dealing Assistant
    • Finally the current year

      For instance, the indent entered at Sr. No. 100 in Engg. section belonging to Assistant E-I in the year 1984-85 will be given file number as 100/HR/E-1/84―85. This number is indicated on the right hand top corner of the covering letter or the indent itself
