FM INAUGURATES A WEB CIRCULAR SYSTEM OF CGA

   The Union Finance Minister Shri Yashwant Sinha inaugurated a Web Circular System of the Controller General of Accounts here today. The System comprises of two parts; one for ‘Public Domain’ and the other for ‘Intranet Communication’.

    The ‘Public Domain’ part will be accessible to public at large and would have information on the current financial status of the Government in the form of monthly accounts. It will provide accounting information of previous years in a reader friendly format as ‘Accounts at a Glance’ and in details in the form of ‘Union Finance Accounts’ and ‘Appropriation Accounts’. It would also contain orders on revision of Dearness Allowance (DA) / Dearness Relief (DR) issued by the Government from time to time. The information on Dearness Relief will thus be readily accessible to the pensioners and over thirty thousand branches of Public Sector Banks for prompt payment of such relief in all parts of the country.

    The ‘Intranet Communication’ of the system would speed-up the exchange of information between the Controller General of Accounts and its more than three hundred field offices located all over the country resulting in efficient execution of Government transactions.
