🔄 Revised Accounting Procedure
The order partially modifies Para 6, Sl. No. 19 of SB Order No. 12/2025 dated 15.09.2025. Under the revised procedure, HRMS transactions in the Daily Transaction Report (DTR) of the concerned Post Office shall be accounted as follows:
- Payment side: HRMS transactions shall be accounted as HRMS Payment under the relevant Budget Account Code.
- Receipt side: Transactions shall be accounted as RSAO HR to CBS Receipts.
- The corresponding POSB Credits and RSAO HR to CBS Payments will be accounted centrally in the books of CPRC Chennai.
⚠️ POSB Credits No Longer to be Shown in Post Office DTR
A key change introduced through the order is that POSB Credits relating to HRMS Salary/Pension/Claim transactions shall no longer be accounted in the DTR of the Post Office where the corresponding Salary/Pension/Claim Office Account is maintained.9
🧾 Mandatory DTR and Finacle Reconciliation
All Post Offices are required to invariably tally the Daily Transaction Report (DTR) with the relevant Finacle reports, following the reconciliation procedure prescribed under SB Order No. 09/2026 dated 24.07.2026.
Any discrepancy identified during reconciliation must be investigated and resolved promptly. Finacle Receipts and Payments data, available SOL-wise, date-wise and account-code-wise, has been made available through the specified SFTP folder for reconciliation with the Monthly Cash Account by the In-Charge, SBCO.
🏤 Instructions to All Concerned Offices
The Department has directed that the revised instructions be circulated to all concerned offices for information, guidance and necessary action. The order has been issued with the approval of the Competent Authority.
📌 Key Takeaway
The revised procedure brings a clear distinction between Post Office-level DTR accounting and central accounting at CPRC Chennai for HRMS payments processed through the POSB interface. Post Offices must ensure accurate DTR–Finacle reconciliation and promptly resolve any discrepancies.
