Radda gave the marching order in a circular dated 3rd July 2023, which he personally signed, and titled: “Treasury Single Account Direction Notice 2023”.
The Governor directed the State Accountant General to prescribe the framework within which Ministries, Departments and Agencies shall conduct their bank/cash management under the TSA.
