Chandigarh, February 18, 2013: The Punjab Government has asked all the administrative departments to depute only one nodal officer for a supplementary demand for expenditure, from its different heads.

Disclosing this here today, an official spokesperson of the Finance Department said that the departments have also been told to submit the information of this nodal officer through its messenger to the Finance Department so that an access code could be given to the nodal officer for filing supplementary demand though online IFM system.

He said that it has been noticed that many of the administrative departments are in the practice of deputing many nodal officers for one supplementary demand, which creates hurdle for online filing of demands through IFMS.

He said that strict advisory has been issued that supplementary demand would be summarily rejected; if more than one nodal officer for single supplementary demand is deputed.

The spokesperson further said that the departments have also been told to ensure the attendance of nodal officer or its representative in the Budget Branch-1 of Finance Department for training.
