Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has stated that the office of AG (A&E) has debited ₹413.73 crore from the GPF subscribers numbering 68,020 in Andhra Pradesh.
Replying to an unstarred question by TDP MP Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) in the Lok Sabha on Monday, the Minister said that the amount was debited based on the input documents of March 2021 and March 2022, for withdrawal (reversal) of DA arrears credited earlier.
The Office of C&AG has informed that AG (A&E), A.P., maintains the GPF accounts of the State government employees as per AP GPF Rules. Withdrawals or debits and deposits or credits are accounted in the fund in terms of input documents (monthly accounts) received from the Treasuries of the Government of A.P. “All entries in the GPF subscriber accounts i.e. the deposits (credits) and withdrawals (debits), are done only as per input documents received from the Treasuries of the Government of Andhra Pradesh,” she said.
