Subject:- Rationalization of financial transactions – reg.
Madam/Sir,
With reference to the subject cited above, it is stated that as per the existing procedure, the payment towards Gratuity, Commutation money, Leave Encashment, Employees Welfare Scheme, DLIS, Provident Fund, Advance/ withdrawal from Provident Fund etc. are being made to the concerned employee through the respective Vidyalayas/units. It was observed that there is a requirement to rationalise these financial transactions mainly due to the following reasons:-
(i) As per the existing procedure, aforesaid payments are done through concerned units, which some time causes delay in receipt of amount by the employees.
(ii) In the existing procedure, these transactions are recorded in the books of the concerned KVs/units as well as in the books of the Regional Offices. In the new procedure, since the payments would not be required to be entered in the books of accounts of KVs, it will decrease the work load significantly at Vidyalaya level. Further, Maintenance of cash book and subsidiary records would be easier because good number of transactions would not be required to be entered in Cash Book of KV.
(iii) Since the amount towards aforesaid payments would not be received by the Vidyalaya, possibilities of mis-classification of entries/ utilization of funds for other purpose would not be there.
(iv) Accumulation of liabilities can be avoided as the payment released even in the month of March would not form part of liabilities.
(v) The commutation of pension 1s effective from the date of receipt of the commutation money by the pensioner. The new procedure will reduce the grievances from the pensioner to this extent.
(vi) Utilization of funds/grants would be optimal as no funds would be available in transit (KV level) at the close of financial year.
(vii) in the existing procedure, the payment relating to GPF/CPF withdrawal is released through the concerned KV/unit which some time causes delay in receipt of amount by the employee concerned. Late receipts of amount cause loss of interest to the employees. In the new procedure, the payment would be made directly to the employee concerned. Hence, question of loss of interest would not be there.
In view of the above, the existing procedure relating to these financial transactions was reviewed and further discussed in detail during the Virtual DC conference on financial matters, held on 22.10.2021. Now, it bas been decided that all Regional Offices/ KVS (HQ) shall make the aforesaid payments except Gratuity directly to the employee/retired employee/ nominee concerned without routing these transactions through the respective Vidyalaya/ RO Unit / Cash Section of KVS (HQ) w.ef 01.12.2021 on trial basis.
In this regard detailed guidelines are given in Annexure-I. All the Deputy Commissioners are requested to go through the guidelines carefully and ensure the compliance without fail.
This issues with the approval of Commissioner, KVS.

Expeditious settlement of family pension cases by banks

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub : Expeditious settlement of family pension cases by banks
The Department of Pension & Pensionersโ Welfare (DP&PW) vide its O.M. 3(8)/2021-P&PW/ (H)-7246 dated 16th June 2021 had issued a list of documents to be submitted by the family pensioners (spouse/family member, whose name is included in the PPO)
S.No.
Query
Clarification received from DP&PW
1.
Whether โLetter of Undertakingโ for recovery of any erroneous overpayment made by the bank is required from the family pensioner to start the family pension to him/her.
Letter of undertaking for recovery of any erroneous overpayment made by the Bank to the pensioners/family pensioners is an arrangement between the Bank and its customers. Normally, the banks obtain the undertaking for recovery of erroneous overpayment from all account holders and he family pensioner is no exception to that.
It is not the intention of the instructions issued by DP&PW vide OMs dated 16.6.2021 to stop the Bank from obtaining the undertaking from the claimant for family pension. The Bank may obtain this undertaking along with other necessary documents when the claimant for family pension visits the Bank.However, if for some unavoidable reason, the family pensioner is not able to submit the undertaking immediately, non-submission of the undertaking should not be a reason for non-commencement of the family pension and disbursement of family pension may not be delayed on the ground of non- submission of the said undertaking.
2.
Whether documents like marriage- remarriage certificate/ income certificate is required to be obtained from the family pensioner who is not co-authorised.
Family pension is sanctioned by the pension sanctioning authority after ensuring that the family pensioner fulfils the eligibility conditions regarding income and marriage/remarriage. Therefore. after issue of a PPO, Banks may not ask for declarations in these respects from the family pensioner at the time of commencement of family pension. However, banks may collect these declarations in the month of November every year as per the present practice. In case, however, the PPO for family pension is issued before November and the family pension is started in/after the month of November, then these declarations (wherever applicable) may be obtained from the family pensioner at the time of commencement of family pension.
3.
Whether documents like marriage โ remarriage certificate / income certificate is required to be obtained from the family pensioner who is co-authorised.
In cases where family pension is to be commenced by the Bank to a family pensioner whose name is already included in the PPO available with the Bank, the declarations may not be sought at the time of commencement of family pension Banks may collect these declarations in the month of November every year as per the present practice. In case, however. the death of a previous family pensioner occurred before November and the family pension is started in/after the month of November, then these declarations (wherever applicable) may be obtained from the family pensioner at the time of commencement of family pension.

In terms of this Ministryโs letter No. E(NG)I-92/PM2/16 dated 20.08.93, the scheme of General Departmental Competitive Examination (GDCE) was introduced to fill up 25% of the net direct recruitment quota vacancies (for which indents are otherwise required to be placed on RRBs) in Group โCโ categories of staff. The scheme initially introduced for a period of one year, has been extended from time to time.
