J&K treasuries to go online from April 15

JAMMU: With an objective to make work hassle-free and paperless, all the treasuries across Jammu and Kashmir will implement online payment system JKPaySys by April 15, 2020.
The administration of J&K has accorded sanction to the implementation of JKPaySys - an application for online payment system, which was initially introduced in the four urban treasuries including the two at Muthi and Town Hall at Muthi treasuries at town hall Jammu.
“Sanction is hereby accorded to the implementation of JKPaySys in all the treasuries of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir with effect from April 15,” reads an order issued by Financial Commissioner, Finance Department Arun Kumar Mehta.
However, with the implementation of 'JKPaySys' on trial basis last year, the government had also announced a training session for Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs).
"No manual bills will be entertained from any DDO after the defined time frame and any default will be liability of the concerned treasury officer," the government had said.
“JKPaySys was introduced by J&K Finance Department to ease the business and make the transactions smooth and hassle-free. It provides the common and integrated platform for DDOs to prepare all types of bills for booking of expenditure,” an official said.
He added that the software not only provides the facilities for pay bill preparation but also preparation of Arrears, Bonus, and Leave encashment bills.
“The system is highly efficient in a way that it reduces the chances of error into the bill making as it by default conducts the pre-audit of claims raised through it. Besides the budget is also controlled through this system that makes keeping track of the same a single click away from both the DDOs and Pay &Accounts Officers (PAOs),” he said
“The system will also enhance transparency, accountability and accuracy in government transactions,” he said.
