Provident Fund Temporary Advance Processing ( PF TAP )
Post date: 04-Sep-2015 07:47:17
PF TAP is an efficient tool to process temporary Advance from General Provident Fund. The documents required in processing of Temporary Advance from General Provident Fund viz. Application form, Office Note , Debit-Credit statement ( ABCD statement) , Sanction Order and Bill etc. can be prepared through this application within a short span of time of 10 minutes. However a little more time is required to process for the first time in respect of an employee. But in subsequent processing for that employee most of the details entered in the first processing and stored in the application may not have any change and thus reduce the time for data entry. If manually done about 2 hours will be needed for preparing and fair copying of the above documents and for calculation. As such this application reduce the workload from 120 minutes to 10 minutes for each processing of the advance.
There are about 5 lakhs Govt. employees in the state. An employee can avail the temporary advance twice in a year if required. If this application is implemented in all Govt offices in the state (it is free) and suppose a bare minimum of 2 lakh processing of advance are taken place in a year the total saving of valuable working time will be more than 3 lakhs hours. The employees can utilize this time to carry out other pending works in the office (most of the offices have a lot of pending works) and thus lead to our goal "increase the efficiency in Government service".
This application is capable of processing temporary advance from KPTCEPF of Part Time Contingent employees which has certain changes in the rules. This application can also be used to process the temporary advance from Kerala Aided School Employees Provident Fund (KASEPF) and Kerala Panchayath Employees Provident Fund (KPEPF).
