Institute of Tamil Nadu' (absent from 2024-25 BE); 2220-01-911 'Deduct – Recoveries of Overpayments' (absent from 2023-24 BE); 2220-60-001-AA-377 'Headquarters Staff' (absent from 2024-25 BE). The full list is in the master_codes file (columns books_present and books_list). Checked against the PDFs: for 5 of 5 family/book absences a text search of the book finds no line with that code. A line with nothing to show in a book seems to be left out of that book; this has not been confirmed with the department. | Each code kept once; presence per book recorded in books_list |
