issue authorisations after the appointed date.

of employees who have quit the service before 02/06/2014 but whose

payments (including residual balances) are made on or after 02/06/2014

will be apportioned as per the population ratio duly following the

procedure given below:

“In the State S1 (Telangana):

Drawing and Disbursing Officer: In the sanction order, the

A.G./DTO/PAO divides the amount into A.P. Share and Telangana Share

basing on population ratio i.e., 58.32% and 41.68% If not given, the DDO

divides the authorized amount into 58.32% and 41.68%.

A Single bill has to be prepared by the DDO duly indicating

the share of each State and the heads of account. The share of Telangana

should be debited to the regular GPF head of account and the share of

Andhra Pradesh will be as follows:

Major Head: 8793 – ISS

Minor Head: 129 - Andhra Pradesh

Treasury/PAO:-The Treasury Officer/PAOpasses the GPF bill

submitted by the DDO duly making entries in fly leaf register and

credits the amount to employee’s S.B.Account.

“The DTO/PAO/DWA, whoever operates MH 8793-ISS has to furnish

all supporting documents for the amounts booked under 8793 along with

the Sub Account No.SA115.

The A.G. prepares the outward Account and forwards the same to

his counterpart for further accounting.”

AG (A&E) State S1 (Telangana): Basing on figures in monthly

account, he sends advice of final GPF payment to RBI for claiming

reimbursement of share of State S2 (Andhra Pradesh). It is expected that

reimbursement will be obtained within 2-3 months. By special

arrangement with RBI, the process can be speeded up.

AG (A&E) State S2 (A.P.State): The A.G. takes the follow-up

action for adjusting the amount booked by State S1under MH 8793 to the

final head of accounts of S2.

The same procedure shall apply to both the successor States”.

quitting service on or after 2 June, 2014 in the Successor States will have

to be paid by the authorities concerned in the respective States.

State on 02/06/2014 but subsequently allotted permanently to another

State and quit service before implementation: In all such cases, the
