‘Possible due to computerisation of Treasuries and Accounts Department’

Thenkasi S Jawahar, Commissioner, Treasuries and Accounts Department has said Service Records (SR), could be just a click away for nine lakh government employees and Pension Pay Order (PPO) could be given to an employee on his/her last working day thanks to the computerisation of the department at a cost of Rs. 288 crore.

Addressing the concluding session of the training programme for the first batch of treasury staff on data entry, digitilisation of SRs for paperless work here on Saturday, Mr. Jawahar said the department has set October 31, 2018 as the deadline for completing computerisation and training programme after which everything would be done online.

“The deadline will not be extended and CDs and printed bills will not be accepted after the deadline. The department would begin a paperless new era from November 1, 2018,” he said.

The computerisation programme, a first of its kind in the country has been jointly launched by the treasury and finance departments, he said adding “it is our own scheme and we (government employees and pensioners) are all the beneficiaries in the scheme.”

Describing SR as the ‘jathagam’ of every government employee, Mr Jawahar said hardly 10% of the nine lakh government employees had access to their SRs in the last one year.

After completion of programme, all employees could access their SRs and entries made in SRs by the click of a mouse, he said amid cheers.

Every time an entry was made in the SR, the concerned employee would get an SMS alert, he said. Details of the employees under different heads could also be accessed in real time by touch of a button, he said. This would be extremely useful for Human Resource (HR) management and panel preparation, he said.

The government has accorded the highest priority for providing infrastructure for the programme and the treasury staff should make use of it, he said.

The service records of nine lakh government employees and pension records of seven lakh pensioners have been computerised, he said. Collector S. Natarajan, Superintendent of Police Omprakash Meana, Wildlife Warden T. K. Ashok Kumar and A. Kabibu, District Treasury Officer were among others present on the occasion.
