Rules for the realization of penal costs of lost books from the College Librarians in Kerala
Dear Friends,
Is there have any direction/order from UGC/ Higher Edn. Dept.[Kerala] in the case of the realization of the penal cost of lost books from the College Librarians ? After the admissible loss written off, how many times of price the Librarian want to remit for remaining loss . There the existing Higher Edn order[Kerala] gives only the direction of dues realization from the borrowers.That order directing to collect the penal costs of books from the borrowers, according to the year of publication of the borrowed books. The dues realization pattern given in the same order.
But I believe, librarian is not a borrower of the whole library collection. He is the manager of the whole system. He/she does not desperately create a loss. So the penal cost realization from the Librarian/ library staffs should be some different than from the borrower. If he/they become levied to pay the lost, only to be realized the actual cost of the documents.
I am waiting for ur valuable replay.,;

It is actual cost of the lost items. some times replacement cost also added. Refer Kerala Financial Codes rules for finding the penal cost of missing Govt. property since library books are treated as stores as per KFC
