Salaries of jawans to be credited online into their bank accounts

Manual system gives way to new pay system for Army

PTI | September 28, 2010



The 64-year-old system of manually paying salary to jawans of the Armoured Corps and Mechanised Infantry Regiment has made way for a computerised system which credits pay directly into their bank accounts.

With implementation of the new system, salaries of the jawans will directly be credited online into their respective bank accounts anywhere in the country and their families will also be able to withdraw money with ATM and debit cards.

This step has been taken by the Defence Accounts Department to empower the soldiers and to do away with the time-consuming method of money order through which they send money to their families.

The Controller General of Defence Accounts shifted to the new system at a function in the premises of Pay Accounts Office (ORs) ACR and MIR at Ahmednagar last week. The office is under Principal Controller of Defence Accounts, Southern Command.

This system is being implemented for all jawans throughout the country in a phased manner.

Principal Controller of Defence Accounts, Southern Command S S Sandhu said his Eight Pay and Accounts Offices are disbursing salary to a third of Indian Army and by November, all remaining PAOs will also be switched over to Monthly Payment System.
