The governor gave the order in a circular dated July 3, 2023 and titled: “Treasury Single Account Direction Notice 2023,” which he personally signed.

He further directed the state’s Accountant General to prescribe the framework within which ministries, departments and agencies shall conduct their bank/cash transactions under the TSA.
