GPF A/c transfer representation

To

The Hon’ble Controller of Accounts,

CBIC, West Zone, Mumbai

9^th Floor, New Customs House,

Balard Estate, Mumbai – 400001

 

Sir,

 

            Subject : Problems faced by the officers in transfer of their GPF account balance on                                     their transfer from one PAO to another PAO – reg.

 

            It is respectfully submitted that as per the existing practices (before GPF A/c is aligned with PFMS), the officers covered under GPF, on being transferred from one location to another falling under different PAO, have to submit an application to their previous PAO through current PAO to get their GPF Account balance transferred to their new account and on every such transfer a new GPF account is opened. Due to such cumbersome process, transfer of GPF balance amount is very often held up, sometimes due to not applying by the concerned officer and many a times due to delay on the part of PAOs.

 

2.         Whereas, every transfer order/relieving order and joining reports are invariably endorsed & forwarded to the PAOs and salaries of the concerned officers are released by the PAO accordingly,  there appears technically no need of a separate representation for transfer of GPF balance amount in the new GPF account. In fact, this is required to be got done on the basis of Last Pay Certificate itself. Even though, our officers are facing difficulty in transfer of their GPF balance amounts even after making representations to this effect.

 

3.         In view of the above, your goodself is requested to kindly impart necessary guidance in this regard to the PAO, CGST & Customs, Surat/Vapi /Vadodara/Ahmedabad/ Rajkot/ Gandhidham/Bhavnagar/Jamnagar accordingly to take up all the cases of already transferred out officers and to release their GPF Contribution amount available with them to their present PAO for depositing the same in their current GPF account as per PFMS.

 

                                    Thanking you. With regards.

Yours faithfully,

 

 

(M.S. PRABHAT)

General Secretary
