1236 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 29

name on the advice, or pension-certificate, or warrant is not the correct name of the payee, the advice is to be tabbed with a minute indicating the correct name.

1160. Instalments are payable for a period of one calendar month after due date: thus an instalment falling due on the 1st January is payable up to and including the 1st February. Under no circumstances is payment to be made thereafter without special authority from the Commissioner, as provided by Rule 1181 hereafter. If an instalment is not claimed within the period herein referred to, the space provided for that instalment on the back of the pension-certificate is to be left blank in case a special authority is subsequently issued.

1161. When the due date of payment falls on a Sunday or a holiday, payment may not be made until the next business day; when the final date of payment falls on such a day, the calendar month expiring on that day shall be deemed to extend to the first business day thereafter, and payment may be made on that day without special authority.

1162. When an advice is stamped “Pay on duplicate pension-certificate only,” care is to be taken that payment is made only on a pension-certificate with the word “Duplicate” stamped across its face. If an original pension-certificate is presented for payment, no payment is to be made without special instructions from the Commissioner.

1163. When an advice is stamped “Duplicate,” the pension-certificate is to be closely examined on presentation to see that payment of the particular instalment to which the duplicate advice relates has not already been made.

1164. An agent appointed under section 41 or 42 must in every case when claiming payment present the warrant issued to him, as well as the pension-certificate. When payment is made to a duly authorized agent, the payee must, in addition to acknowledging payment, complete the residential certificate in the margin of the advice, stating therein the name of the place where the pensioner is residing. The nature and date of the warrant produced must be quoted in the space provided for the purpose.

1165. Paying officers must not allow any qualifying remarks or any alteration to be made in the residential certificate. If the payee is unable, owing to conscientious scruples, to sign the certificate as printed, or if the pensioner is not residing in the district where payment is claimed, payment of the instalment must be refused, and a report furnished to the Commissioner forthwith.

1166. A warrant under section 41, which must be signed by the local Registrar, may relate to one or more pensions, or to one or more instalments of a single pension, and must be retained by the paying officer and forwarded with the paid advices. The reason for the non-collection of an instalment included in such a warrant must be ascertained and noted upon the warrant.

1167. No instalment may be paid to a charitable institution unless on production of a warrant under section 41.

1168. A warrant under section 42, which must bear the signature of the Commissioner, is available only for the instalments on the pension-certificate referred to therein, and when such warrant relates to a single instalment or to the last of a series of instalments it must be retained by the paying officer on payment of such instalment, and forwarded with the paid advice.

1169. The holder of a power of attorney can only receive payment of an instalment on presentation of a warrant under section 42.
