Member told the issue has been sent to Department of Expenditure and reply is awaited.
Member (Finance) agreed to send a reminder to the Department of Expenditure.
(3) Delay in payment of IDA
A delay in payment of IDA is pointed out. Association suggested that IDA orders for pensioners may kindly be endorsed by DoT without delay as soon as the DPE issue orders on the subject. It can be placed on DoT website. If DoT authorizes the website orders as an authentic one, it is easy for the banks and post offices to draw the IDA. This suggestion has been agreed and Member (Finance) told that she will look into the case positively.
The meeting was cordial and very positive. Association expressed its thanks to Member (Finance) for the meeting.
