Subject: Discontinuance of Book Adjustment for PLI Premium collection through Salary Deduction from other Departments / Ministries

PLI premium along with CGST and SGST which is being recovered through pay recovery in respect of your employees had been accounted by booking under the Head of Account 8014 through Book Adjustment.

This direct booking of PLI premia along with GST amount in PFMS through Book transfer has led to many issues as follows:

1) Many Non Postal DDOs are booking PL! premia along with GST amount under MH – 8014 (PLI). Due to this GST amount could not be remitted to the GST authorities which is attracting penalty from the GST authorities.

2) GST returns have also not been filed by the Non Postal DDOs.

3) Service Tax or GST authorities have withdrawn the facility of booking service tax or GST amount through book adjustment w.e.f. 01.08.2015. Since then. all Postal DDOs are remitting GST amount through cheque to the GST authorities.

4) PLI— CSI integration is going to be rolled out by Department of Posts and Book Adjustment could not be continued for various technological issues alter this integration.

Hence, Book Adjustment for PLI Premium collection through Salary Deduction is going to be discontinued with effect from 1 July 2022 and it is requested to remit the PII premia and GST amount recovered from July 2022 through Cash/Cheque/NEFT to the concerned Head Post Offices (CPCs)/ DDOs of DoP along with schedules.

For any kind of queries or assistance. the following support team of this Directorate may be communicated:
