A "charge report" in the Indian Department of Posts is a formal document used when one postal officer transfers the responsibility of an office to another. This report formally documents the handover of the office and its assets, including the certification of the current balances of cash, stamps, and accounts by the relieved officer and their acceptance of responsibility by the relieving officer. It serves as a legal receipt for the assets and provides a record for accounting and audit purposes, ensuring a clear transition of duties and financial accountability.
