Office Memorandum
Dated September 14, 2012
As a part of mission towards bringing transparency and
strengthening the Information (GPF Module) System of the O/O CGA, this office
has decided to expand the e-Samarth application to all PAOs of Civil
Ministries, presently running in four PAOs of CISF, Mb o Home Affairs and FAQ
(NIC).
2. e-Samarth, a web-based application, follows a
very transparent approach in providing a comprehensive resource of GPF-related
information through a website open to all account holders and accounting units.
All account holders will be able to get the information regarding their GPF
accounts directly from internet. The subscribers will be able to view
the current status of their request for GPF Withdrawal,
Advances, Final Payment, Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (DLIS), and
Transfer Out and balances, etc.
3. In the present system of maintenance of GPF
accounts, new account number
is allotted to the subscriber at the time of his first deduction towards GPF or
at the time of his transfer from one office to another either within Ministry
or inter-Ministry, resulting in holding of multiple account numbers by a
subscriber with a possibility of GPF credits scattered over different
accounting Units. In such cases, subscribers do not know what balance is lying
in their accounts.
4. In e-Samarth application, a subscriber can view
his/her GPF details through a unique number only. It is therefore mandatory to
map all his/her existing account numbers through a Unique Key. It has been
decided that PAN (allotted by Income Tax Department) would be treated as a
Unique Key to map all the account numbers allotted to a subscriber.
5. It is, therefore, compulsory for all the PAOs to first
capture the PAN Number details of all the GPF Accounts opened in
their COMPACT database and also update their Date of Birth, Date of Joining
Govt. Service and Date of Superannuation so that the multiple account numbers
of a subscriber could be mapped and unique Id could be allotted. A new upgrade
of COMPACT is available at www.pao2000.nic.in. All the PAOs have to
upgrade their COMPACT before capturing this information. In order to further
facilitate in data entry, a separate off-line utility has also been available
at www.pao2000.nic.in. A User-guide for the utility is attached as annexure-1.
6. It is therefore requested to instruct all the PAOs
under your control to obtain PAN number and update Account Allotment General
Information of all the subscribers under their control latest by 5th October,
2012 so that multiple account numbers of a subscriber could be mapped and
unique IDs could be issued to all the Account Holders.
