In terms of G.O. no. 296-EDN(B) dated 07.10.1985 the “Director of Pension, Provident Fund and Group Insurance or any officer authorised by him” has been declared as “Audit Officer” for the purpose of auditing Pension cases under the West Bengal Recognised Non-Government Educational Institution Employees (DCRB) Scheme, 1981.
Again In terms of G.O. no. 86-SE(B) dated 01.06.1995 the procedure of verification of pension papers before submission of the same to the Directorate of Pension, Provident Fund and Group Insurance by the District Inspector of Schools was laid down in detail where it was stated that the pension papers in respect of the employees of Secondary Schools would be verified by the Joint/Deputy/Assistant Director of Accounts, Education Department and that in respect of the employees of Primary Schools would be verified by the Finance Officer, now re-designated as Controller of Finance of the District Primary School Council.
Now the State Government has introduced a revised procedure for online disposal of the pension cases of the employees of Non Government Aided and Recognised Educational Institutions through e-Pension portal under which the Joint/Deputy/Assistant Director of Accounts, Education Department will act as representative of the Director of Pension, Provident Fund and Group Insurance for audit of Pension cases for all the employees of Non Government Recognised and Aided Educational Institutions including the employees of Non Government Recognised and Aided Primary Schools. In view of the above it is felt that the procedure laid down in G.O. no. Quoted above requires modification.
After careful consideration of the matter the Governor is pleased to decide that henceforth the Joint/Deputy/Assistant Director of Accounts, Education Department will also audit the pension cases under District Inspector of Schools (PE) instead of Controller of Finance, District Primary School Council.
G.O. no. 86-SE(B) dated 01.06.1995 stands modified to the extent prescribed in this order. The Order shall take effect from 17/04/2017.
