The goods are normally supplied to the Units in factory packed cases and care is taken to see there is no damage. Yet the units may find certain breakages/leakages causing loss to the units. It is to cover such losses that Qualitative Discount on the annual purchase is allowed to Unit Canteens. Units should take care while transporting the goods from CSD Depots to minimise the loss that may occur. No claims for the discrepancies of General Stores will be entertained in the normal cource. However, in te case of Liquor, the department will compensate over and above 1% of the Invoice Value, if the breakages exceed 1%.Where consignments are booked by Rail, claims for compensation for breakages where liquor is collected locally will not be entertained. In both cases the cost of leakages will be compensated in full, to Units. However, no compensation will be given for shortages. If compensation is to be claimed, the consignments should be checked immediately on arrival by a Board of Officers and Board proceedings in duplicate duly countersigned by the Commandant/Formation Commander should be submitted to the concerned Depot within 30 days from the date of receipt of the consignment. Board Proceedings should show the Invoice particulars such as number,date and amount and the quantum of leakage in each bottle. On receipt of Board Proceedings, the Depot Manager will examine and inturn transmit the same to CSD, HO for further necessary action. In case of heavy/abnormal breakages/leakages, Units should keep the affected bottles for inspection and should not destroy them unless and until informed by the Depot.
