All treasuries in Haryana to be cyber treasuries

All treasury offices in Haryana will soon be developed as cyber treasuries as their entire system would be made online to further enhance their efficiency and facilitate people.
Principal Secretary Finance Sanjeev Kaushal made these remarks after inaugurating the first model treasury of Haryana here today.
Haryana is the first state in the country where electronic payment system has been implemented in treasury operation, he said adding in future online budget system would be improved in coordination with all the departments in the state.
It would be the endeavour of Haryana Finance Department to make the treasuries not only paperless, but also presenceless as efforts would be made to facilitate people in getting their work done from home.

Describing it as a "big challenge", Kaushal hoped that it would be achieved within a year.
Online system would help in taking precise and correct decisions while preparing policies, and there would be least chance of committing mistakes.

He said after being online, the working of the department would be in the back-end but the work load would increase and the efficiency too would enhance.
The model treasury inaugurated today is air-conditioned and equipped with public-friendly facilities, where separate pension counter has been set up for retired employees and other counters to accept bills of different departments.
The officers in the treasury have separate counters.

With a view to enhancing the accountability of the officials, CCTV cameras have been installed, Kaushal said.
