MEMORANDUM

In continuation of Memorandum No. 8846-F(Y) dated 12.09.2011 the undersigned is directed to state that it has come to the notice of the Government that in some of the establishments a good number of Govt. employees could not furnish bank particulars to their respective Drawing & Disbursing Officers as they could not be able to open zero balance account with the banks due to heavy rush.

After careful consideration the Governor is pleased to allow payment of salary in cash of State Govt. employees who fail to furnish bank particulars to respective Drawing & Disbursing Officer up to salary month of November, 2011 or till the DDOs complete the process of payment of salary through West Bengal Government’s ePayment of Salary Scheme for such employees whichever is earlier.
