Pending bills in treausury: Gov relaxes procedure for disbursal

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state government has simplified the procedure for clearance of pending bills in treasury. The local bodies had earlier raised concerns about the practical difficulties and complications on the procedures enlisted by the government. As per the earlier procedure for reprocessing, submitting and passing of local self government institutions bills which were placed in queue during 2017-18, the drawing and disbursing officers of LSGIs had to receive back the physical bill in queue from treasury and reprocess and e-submit the same in Saankhya software under the allotment for 2018-19.
As per the revised guidelines drawing and disbursing officers shall not have to reprocess the bills and the centralised re-processing by IKM application will expedite the steps to clear the bills in treasury queue. IKM will reprocess the entire bills of LSGIs that were placed in treasury queue during March 2018 and under 2018-19 allotment as a spill over project and e-submit to treasury through a cetralised process.
The finance department has authorised IKM to relax all the conditions and procedures required for the approval and processing of spill over projects of LSGIs.
