COIMBATORE: More than 32,000 government employees and 45,000 pensioners from the district will get a hassle-free and quick service from the treasuries and accounts department as the state government has digitized their service records and automated the entire transaction procedure.Chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday launched the Integrated Financial and Human Resources Management System (IFHRMS) software in 14 districts , including Coimbatore, Erode and Tirupur, through video conferencing.“Until recently, the drawing and disbursing officers (DDOs) submitted the bills manually by visiting the department. It takes at least 10 days to clear the bills and complete the transactions. But, with automation, they could just submit the bills online and the transaction would be completed within a day,” regional joint director of treasuries and accounts department D Selvasekar said.This way, transparency and speed could be ensured and human error could be eliminated, the official added. At present, the district processes more than 6,000 bills a month worth more than ?100 crore.Till now, sponsor banks were involved to make the transactions. From now on, the transactions would be dealt directly by the Reserve Bank. “We would also be able to save the handling fees given to banks for every transaction,” he explained.The software is expected to be launched in the remaining districts by January 21.
