Case 2:
  • In some cases, the payment status will be “Success” but the beneficiary may not get the amount into his account. This state specifically occur, if the beneficiary account belongs to other than SBI (NEFT transmissions), which is because of technical issues in bank. In this case, the fact should be intimated to Treasury with necessary evidence (proof like copy of passbook). The Treasury Officer shall bring it to the notice of DTA to reprocess the payment. If the same situation occur in case of SBI Accounts, the Treasury Officer shall re process the payment, duly making necessary checks.

Case 3:
  • The status remains blank even after 3 to 4 days from the date on which the bill is sent to bank.
  • This is because the payment status is not received by DTA from bank. This should be brought to the notice of DTA through Treasury Officer concerned to update the status.
  • This status report is useful to the DDOs to intimate the payment details to the beneficiary whenever required. For instance, if the BSNL requests the DDO to furnish payment details, the details can be given to BSNL so that they can check the credit details in their passbook
