State government employees will soon have a way to check for missing credits in their provident fund (PF) accounts every month. Due to clerical mistakes, salary deductions sometimes don’t reflect in PF accounts, causing delays in fund updates. Until now, employees even senior officers—would only realize the issue in June or July when they received their PF slips. Fixing these errors involved a lengthy reconciliation process, according to sources. The principal accountant general’s (PAG) office, responsible for managing pension and PF cases, oversees these matters for state employees.
The PAG Maharashtra 2, overseeing Vidarbha and Marathwada, has introduced an online system that allows state government employees direct access to their provident fund (PF) accounts. Launched by PAG Jaya Bhagat on Thursday, the facility enables employees to check their PF details by logging into the portal — [https://cag.gov.in/ae/Nagpur/en](https://cag.gov.in/ae/Nagpur/en). This system allows them to directly match their salary slips with their PF accounts, ensuring better transparency and quicker identification of discrepancies.
As per media report, if the amount is deducted from the salary but not credited to the PF account, they can straightaway take up the matter in their department,” said Bhagat after the launch. Bhagat mentioned missing credits can typically be a matter of concern for employees nearing superannuation as it reduces the amount they would get as PF dues. Missing credits have been an issue faced by the employees, though the state govt is also looking to address it, said a source.
Missing credits often occur due to clerical errors, where salary deductions fail to reflect in PF accounts, a source said. With the new system, employees can now download PF statements for the past five years. PAG Jaya Bhagat also announced the introduction of an electronic pension payment order (PPO) for family pension subscribers, further streamlining the process.
