Store Disposal Process

This reference document explains the administrative process followed in many government
organizations for identification, condemnation, disposal and record management of
unserviceable stores. It is intended for educational and training purposes.

Chapter 1
Government departments should periodically inspect stock and identify items that are
obsolete, damaged, uneconomical to repair or no longer required. A committee may verify
the physical condition, record observations, recommend further action, and ensure
transparency throughout the process. Proper documentation includes stock registers,
inspection reports, condemnation proposals, approval notes, valuation records, disposal
records and accounting entries. Internal controls, audit trails, fair competition,
environmental considerations and accurate record keeping help improve public asset
management. Training of store personnel, periodic verification, segregation of scrap, safe
storage, timely disposal and reconciliation with financial records are considered good
administrative practices. These principles support efficiency, accountability and value for
money in public procurement and inventory management.
