NEW DELHI, February 9: Union Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday iugurated a web-based payment monitoring system here to make the payment process for tiol highways-related work and services more transparent, an official said. “This time-bound and result-oriented initiative would have a very effective impact on the system. By using this system, the ministry can independently check status of processing of bills office-wise and utilisation of funds scheme-wise,” an official statement said citing the minister. “Feedback generated from the system will assist the ministry in identifying bottlenecks and making the entire process mechanism more efficient,” Gadkari said while launching the service. The procedure for payment involves the division offices of the Public Works Department forwarding the bills to the Regiol Office of the ministry after their verification. Regiol officers forward the bills in turn to a regiol Pay and Accounts Office, which makes the payment after exercising checks in the capacity of the drawing and disbursing officer. (IANS)
