Dear Comrades,
To,
The PMG, Berhampur/ Sambalpur Region.
All SSPOs/ SPOs in Odisha Circle.
No: SB/52-45/2012 dated at Bhubaneswar the 16.01.2013.
Sub: Direct Cash Transfer through Post Offices.
Sir,
I am directed to intimate that the procedure for capturing
Aadhar Number of Depositors for opening of new Savings Accounts was
circulated vide letter No. SB/1-1/Ruling/2012 dated 10-12-2012. In the
mean while, Direct Cash Transfer was introduced in DOP for payment of
NREGS Wages(EFMS) in 51 districts of the country. The pilot project of
EFMS will shortly be introduced in Dhenkanal District.
The Directorate email dated 20-12-2012 on Direct
Cash Transfer to be introduced from 01-06-2013 contains detailed
instructions on the subject as follows.
(a) Obtain electronic list of beneficiaries having Aadhaar numbers from disbursing agencies
(b) Capture
these numbers in the camps organized by District Collectors by direct
contact. Instructions for this purpose have been issued in the District
Collectors conference.
(c) Get these numbers by calling account holders to the Post Office or through GDS/Postman
(d) Open
new accounts after obtaining Aadhaar number, if available. In case,
Aadhaar number is not available, the beneficiary be enrolled through the
nearest Post Office UID enrollment centre.
(e) Have
Aadhaar EA at all Post Offices of the identified districts. Get these
numbers at the time of capturing biometric and seed accounts. In case
there is any difficulty in getting EAs, take it up with BD Directorate
for suitable action
In
the District Collectors conference, it was also clarified that existing
accounts held at Post Offices will not be migrated to banks on account
of the non availability of CBS at Post Offices. However, it will be
beneficiaries’ decision to have his account in the Post Office or the
Bank.
It is also instructed that the work relating to
NREGS i.e., opening of Master Data, subsequent transactions, tagging BO
names in Sanchay Post Ver-7, addition of interest in the NREGS account
and the process of finalizing the balance agreement(already supplied)
should be attended with all promptness so that, there will not be any
further delay in introducing EFMS. As regards, enrollment of Aadhar, the
AD(BD) should be consulted where as any clarification on EFMS may
sought for from AD(FS).
With regards,
Yours faithfully,
S.Mishra, Assistant Director(FS), O/o the Chief PMG,
Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar-751001.
