Approve

Checker

DBT Checker can approve the benefi­ts. Once the benefi­t is approved by the DBT checker, benefi­ts are clubbed into batches in PFMS. These batches are either accepted or rejected by the PFMS approver. If the batch is accepted, PPA is generated, signed, and sent to the bank for processing. If rejected, the benefi­ts are sent back to Maker Pending.

Paid external

DBT Maker/ Checker

If a benefi­t was paid directly via PFMS, for reconciliation purposes, it is important to update Ni-kshay. For such benefi­ts (which have been paid externally) can be marked as “Paid External”. It is now advisable (since September 11, 2019) to make all payments from within Ni-kshay. The reconciliation process is explained in the annexure to this document.

Paid in kind

DBT Maker/ Checker

It is at the discretion of the State to disburse bene­fits either in cash or in kind for schemes in National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP). Some states, such as Chhattisgarh, are adopting such practices of giving benefi­ts in kind through food baskets, etc.

DBT Maker/

Checker

Users may decide that the benefi­t is not to be paid to the bene­ficiary and have removed the benefi­ts. For example, if a patient refuses to take the bene­fits or is unwilling to share the bank details, the Tuberculosis Unit (TU)/District Tuberculosis Officer (DTO) User can remove it. If a transaction has been removed by mistake, it can be ‘unremoved’ and processed further.

Deferred

DBT Maker/ Checker

Users may decide to defer the bene­fits in case they decide to pay them later. However, the ­first benefi­ts cannot be deferred. If a Benefit is “deferred”, Ni-kshay will add the amount to the next benefi­t when it is due. Once a transaction is deferred, it can only be processed along with the next bene­fit as it becomes due.
