It has come to the notice of Directorate that some postmasters are retaining the NPS forms in post offices for more than one day and then sending to the CRA-FC only when they have got 50 forms. It is once again clarified that no form should be retained in the post office even for a single extra day; whatever number of forms is collected must be sent to the CRA-FC on the next day without nay delay.
