Srinagar, May 7 (JKNS): The Government of Jammu and Kashmir’s Finance Department has approved a significant administrative reform regarding salary disbursement of employees working in corporations under the administrative control of the Power Development Department (PDD), shifting them to an employee-wise CPIS-based system through the JKPaySys platform.
As per Government Order No. 180-FD of 2026, issued by the Finance Department, as per news agency JKNS, sanction has been accorded for implementation of “employees-wise CPIS based” drawal of salaries for employees of JKPCL, JKPTCL, KPDCL and JPDCL.
The move aims to enhance transparency, standardization, and efficiency in salary processing through a digitized framework already operational in other government departments.
The order states that after updation of the CPIS system on the HRM Portal, salary disbursement will now be processed through the JKPaySys platform. The implementation will be executed at the level of concerned CP&AOs/P&AOs functioning within the treasury system.
The scope of the new arrangement has been clearly defined, restricting coverage only to those PDD employees who are on deputation from other government departments to the said corporations, are registered on the HRMS platform, and were appointed prior to October 2019, the date of unbundling of the corporations.
However, employees directly engaged by the corporations, whether appointed before or after unbundling, have been kept outside the JKPaySys mapping and will continue to receive salaries through the existing mechanism.
The order further clarifies that after migration to JKPaySys, salaries will continue to be debited to the Account Head “Grants-in-Aid (GIA-036), Salary,” which is already integrated within the system.
It also mandates that the entire transition process will be carried out in accordance with the prescribed flow chart (Annexure A) and will come into effect from May 2026. (JKNS)
