New disbursement system for GPF advances: DoSE

Department of School Education (DoSE) has decided to adopt a new system of disbursement of GPF advances (both refundable and non-refundable) to the employees.
In a notification, director school education Zaveyi Nyekha stated that under the new system, the amount that was sanctioned (GPF advances) would be credited directly into the personal bank account of the employees from the directorate.
The new system would be adopted from the issue of the latest GPF statement for the year ended March 2014 and new GPF non-refundable application format would be sent to all the DDOs for employees to fill them up.
“It is imperative that all required information is filled ensuring accuracy in details furnished and also enclosing clear & legible photocopies of their Official Identity Card and the Bank Pass Book of the Bank (the page on which the Name & the Account No. is indicated) from where the salary is being drawn,” the notification stated adding that GPF applications without the aforementioned documents would be summarily rejected.
The department said it was hopeful that the new exercise would ease the burden on the employees, who in the past, had to travel to distances and draw their Non-refundable GPF from their respective DDOs.
