5.7 The DBM (CO) shall release the NGA share of the benefits as augmentation to the Internal Revenue Allotment through the DBM RO which shall in turn issue the funding checks for the purpose for deposit to the current account in the depository bank of the LGU concerned.
5.8 LGU concerned shall take up the amount in its book of accounts as income held in trust. As such, the said sum shall be disbursed only for the payment of the NGA share in the retirement benefits of the devolved personnel specified in the DBM (RO) transmittal letter.
