Do's & Don'ts For GPF

Do’s Don’ts
General
1. Ensure that correct Series & Number are quoted with the Account Number issued by this office in the GPF schedules 1. Do not omit the Account No. or Name while preparing the Schedules. Do not change the "series" of the Account Number unilaterally, just because the employee has been transferred from one department to another. "Series" is a part of the Account Number which is allotted by this office. Changing the "Series" unilaterally will create a duplicate Account Number which will result in missing credits against the subscriber's account.
2. Ensure that full name of the subscriber is quoted against the Account Number. Avoid initializing the name with the title of the subscriber. Example: P. Angami, S. Sema, etc. - avoid these. Provide full name - Puhonol Angami, Sukhavi Sema, etc. 2. Do not use nicknames or short names of the subscribers.
3. Ensure that Schedules are prepared in chronological order of the Subscribers Account Number. 3. Subscriptions to GPF should not be deducted from the pay bills before allotment of Account Numbers from Pr.A.G’s office.
4. Ensure that minimum subscription of the employee is not less than 6% of Basic Pay + Dearness Pay and not more than Basic Pay + Dearness Pay 4. Do not club the monthly subscription alongwith refund of withdrawals. This has to be shown separately in the schedule indicating as "refund" or "subscription" against the amount.
5. Ensure that all schedules are properly signed and stamped by DDOs and TOs. 5. Do not club more than one months subscription or refund together. If an employee draws more than one month's pay at a time, the GPF schedule should either be prepared separately for each month or the amount shown separately for each month.
6. Ensure that Grade IV and work charged staffs' schedules are NOT clubbed along with schedules of Grade III or others. Separate Schedules are to be prepared. 6. Do not prepare Grade IV schedules along with schedules of Grade III or above.
While forwarding papers for withdrawals from Fund
1. Ensure that the latest and original copy of the GPF statement is attached with the application of the subscriber.  1. DDOs should not sanction G.P.F advances to any subscribers under their control without paying proper attention to their G.P.F accumulation causing negative balance to their accounts.
