2)The responsible transferring national officer must, without delay, recover an overpayment referred to subsection (1), unless an instruction has been issued in terms of subsection (3).

 

3)The National Treasury may instruct that the recovery referred to in subsection (2) be effected by set-off against future transfers to the affected province, municipality or public entity in terms of a payment schedule.
