KMS/RMS

14. Joint Moisture Register
The moisture content shall be recorded by
Technical Assistant in the presence of
Depot Staff and a jointly signed moisture
register will be maintained.
Moisture content will be jointly checked
at the time of issue / disposal also.

15. The stack wise analysis result must be checked and
signed by TA/ Manager (QC) of the centre / Depot.
The duplicate sealed samples kept at center / depot
as mentioned above will be collected by the
representative of Area Manager and General
Manager (Region) within a week’s time to verify the
result of concerned TA’s to assess the quality of
procured stocks.

(Fortnightly basis).
Area Manager : 2 % rice consignment accepted at each depot
(Fortnightly basis).
DGM (QC) : 10 depots each month spread over at least 3 FCI
district. All districts should be covered once in three months.

 Dehusk Grains are Rice Kernels whole or broken
which have more than ¼ th of the surface of the
kernel covered with the Bran.
Weigh 5 Gms of rice ( Sound head rice & broken only)
Count the number of grains in 5 Gms of Sample.
Three broken grains are counted as one whole grain.
Broken less than 1/8
th
of the size will be treated as
Organic Foreign Matter.
