In an exercise that would ease the burden on its employees significantly, the department of School Education has decided to adopt a new system of disbursement of GPF advances (both refundable and non-refundable) to the employees.
In a notification today, Director, School Education, Zaveyi Nyekha stated that under the new system, the sanctioned GPF Advances would be credited directly into the personal bank account of the employees from the Directorate.
The notification stated that this new system of disbursement of non-refundable GPF shall be adopted from the issue of the latest GPF Statement for the year ended March 2014 and added that new GPF Non-Refundable Application Format will be sent to all the DDOs for employees to fill up.
“It is imperative that all required information is filled ensuring accuracy in details furnished and also enclosing clear & legible photocopies of their Official Identity Card and the Bank Pass Book of the Bank (the page on which the Name & the Account No. is indicated) from where the salary is being drawn,” the notification stated adding that GPF applications without the aforementioned documents will be summarily rejected.
The notification further stated in cases where there are variations in names, the concerned DDO will have to verify the antecedent and issue a certificate. The employees are also requested to submit their mobile numbers so that information, if any, can be passed on through the same.
The department is hopeful that the new exercise would ease the burden on the employees, who in the past, had to travel distances and draw their nn-refundable GPF from their respective DDOs. The department also believes that this will put a check on “fraudulent withdrawals.”
