According to sources at Nabanna, the entire process of calculating and disbursing the DA arrears will be managed using new technology, with the WBIFMS portal at its core. This approach aims to ensure transparency and speed. Let’s walk through the probable steps involved.

First, you need to visit the official website of the West Bengal Integrated Financial Management System (WBIFMS).

• On the website, click on the ‘e-Services for Employees’ option.
• Log in using your Employee ID and password. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can easily recover it by clicking the ‘Forgot Password’ option.

Step 2: Find the ‘DA Arrear’ Option

After logging in, you will see your employee dashboard. Just like previous modules such as ‘ROPA 2009 Option’ or ‘GRIPS Payment’, a new option like ‘DA Arrear Claim Form’ or ‘Apply for Arrear DA’ is expected to be added. You will need to click on this new option.

Step 3: Fill and Verify the Form

An online form will open on your screen. Since the WBIFMS portal already has all your personal and service information stored in its database, most of the fields will be auto-populated.

• Verify Personal Details: Carefully check if your name, employee ID, designation, and current department are displayed correctly.

You must download this slip and save it as a printout or a PDF file. This number will be essential for tracking the status of your application in the future.

By following these steps, you should be able to complete the application process for your DA arrears smoothly.
