Missing entries in GPF accumulation of subscribers

This office has been receiving grievances from retired government servants for inaccurate and delayed GPF settlement along with interest, on their retirement, due to frequent instances of subscribers who during their service moved from one establishment to another or were assigned foreign deputation and also by officers of All India Service, who proceeded on deputation outside their cadres. In these cases it was observed that the GPF account is maintained by an establishment different from that generating their salary bills and deducting their GPF subscription. Needless to say that a co-ordination mechanism between such two establishments is most crucial to avoid any Lapses in updated maintenance of GPF accounts.

2. In order to avoid such grievances and for the sake of greater transparency. It has henceforth been decided that,

i. It shall be mandatory for all maintaining GPF accounts to intimate the particulars of missing credits. once every financial year to the authority responsible for deducting the GPF subscription under intimation is the concern subscriber.

ii. A complete statement of credits, debit and illerterd since inception of the GPF account shall be provided  to every subscriber mandatorily  two years before his date of retirement and thereafter one year before the date of retirement. any subscriber can make a representation on such a statement provided to him and the office maintaining the GPF account shall receive the grievance within 60 days from the date of receipt of such a grievance.

3. The Administrative Divisions of all Ministries / Department and attached / subordinate offices are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned for strict compliance
