Sensitisation programme for officers on IFHRMS held

The Department of Treasuries and Accounts will become paperless from November, according to Tenkasi S. Jawahar, Principal Secretary/Commissioner of Treasury Accounts.

He was addressing a sensitisation programme for treasury officers on the Integrated Financial and Human Resources Management System (IFHRMS).

He said that preparatory works on launching the IFHRMS had reached the advanced level. As per the schedule, a digitalised system for streamlining treasury operations will be launched in November. The existing system will be eased out on October 31. “The new system will completely eliminate paper based entry transactions,” he said.

Mr. Jawahar said the works on digitalising the service records of about 9 lakh government employees was almost complete. This would enable the officials to upload the payment details of employees, promotion, transfer, leave and other service details regularly. There would be no room for displacing service records.

He said the new system would simply the task of preparing pay bills. All 29,000 drawing and disbursing officers in the State could prepare the pay bill through online. They would have to submit the pay bills to the treasury office through online.

Mr. Jawahar said that the system had been encrypted with security features such as bio-metric authentication, digital signature and multiple firewall. It would drastically reduce paper work and eliminate manpower for physically carrying bills to the treasury. It would also save time and energy. Under the existing system, it takes at least six to 10 days to prepare pay bills. Under the new system, the payment would be routed through Reserve Bank of India's e-Kuber facility and settlement of bills would be done on the same day.

Collector K. Rajamani, Commissioner of Police A. Amalraj, District Judge S. Kumaraguru, Chief Conservator of Forest Yokesh Singh and senior officials participated.
