8.4 Computerization of Payrolls
Computerized payroll has been introduced for disbursement of pay and allowances to the Government
Servant's maintaining G.P. Fund accounts, accounting for various items of receipt and expenditure. The
46
Establishment
manual preparation and submission of regular monthly pay bills are dispensed with under this computerized
system. The detail audit of computerized pay rolls in respect of the officers is conducted by the Audit Office
and DDO is responsible for all payments/ deductions in respect of non-gazetted employees in accordance
with existing rules and orders.
(NAM.4.6.11-4.6.18)
The important responsibility of the DDO regarding computerized pay roll is to ensure that all input data
is correctly supplied and all changes like promotions, demotions, leave, transfer, retirements and variations
in the rates of entitlements and deductions etc. are promptly reported through change statements as any
omission or delay may result into over payment(s).
8.6.1 The computerized pay roll is now being done through SAP system throughout Pakistan. The detail of
computer change forms is as under:
Sr.No Form No Description Remarks
1 Pay 01 Employees Master File Creation Form For new employee applicable for both
payroll and G.P.Fund
2 Pay 02 Amendment Form For single employee
3 Pay 03 Amendment Form For more than one employee's changes
(for multiple employee entry)
4 Pay 05 Temporary Loans & Advances Loans & Advances except non-refundable
Form (New & Amendment) G.P.Fund Advance
5 Pay 06 Permanent Loans & Advances For Non-Refundable G.P.Fund Advances
Form (New & Amendment)
Note: Guidance to fill these forms has been provided overleaf. Forms, duly filled, are annexed.
When an employee proceeds on EOL (leave without pay) or transfers to other station his salary should
immediately be de-activated through change statement. As soon as the employee returns from E.O.L his
pay may be got activated. On retirement, death, dismissal or removal an employee, his salary should be got
stopped immediately to avoid overpayment. Following points should be kept in view:
• Reason for stoppage of salary should be mentioned e.g. un-authorized absence, death, retirement or
resignation of the employee
• Date of inactivation of salary must be written
• In case of transfer of the employee, his data may be got transferred instead of stoppage of his pay
47
Guide Book for Drawing & Disbursing Officers
When an employee is transferred from one province to other or province to Islamabad or vice versa, his
salary is transferred out by the previous Accounts Office and transferred in by the other Accounts Office
subject to condition that SAP is operative in both the Accounts Offices. In this way there is no need to
prepare and submit the detailed form “Pay-01” again. Following guidelines should be followed in this regard:
Transfer out
• Correct Payroll Area and Personal Area of posting should be entered
• In case of posting from one District to other District within a Province the functionality of re-organization
is used in SAP as in this case the “SERVER” remained same
• Cost Center (DDO) number of new office should be mentioned
Transfer in
• Bank details of new station must be provided
• Changes required in pay and allowances as per revised entitlements at new station must be sent to Accounts
Office (new) through appropriate change forms
• The balances of GPF and advances should be verified

Government Servant concerned as the case may be, will during the period of foreign service, pay to the
Government pension contribution in accordance with relevant rules and at the rates prescribed from time

transferred. The LPC should give all the necessary information so that the classification of charge may be
correctly noted by the DDO in the bill of the new office. There are two main occasions of issuance of LPC:
(a) Transfer to enable the other office/account office to authorize the pay & allowances, deduct the various
funds and recover the outstanding balances of advances, along with interest, if any.
(b) Retirement to enable the Pension section of the Accounts Office to calculate and authorize the
pension/commutation/gratuity payments and to recovery the dues due to Government.

LPC has been revised adding statement of service overleaf by the Controller General of Accounts. However,
