    Our FA has no email to correspond.
    earlier with MoCA problem was same. their mailbox used to be full and would not accept any mail…ie at the time of Prafulla Patel.
    Now things have come back to square one.
    Govt should leave the officers on self declaration/certification. If found in wrong foot afterwards by Audit…..money would be accrued with interest.
