CHENNAI, November 16, 2024 – The Tamil Nadu government announced a major restructuring of its Finance Department, merging the Directorate of Pension and the Government Data Centre with the Treasuries and Accounts Department. The move, effective immediately, aims to streamline operations and improve efficiency in the wake of the implementation of the Integrated Financial and Human Resources Management System (IFHRMS) and other recent reforms.
According to a government order issued by Finance Secretary T. Udhayachandran, the merger will create new wings within the Treasuries and Accounts Department to handle the functions previously undertaken by the Directorate of Pension and the Government Data Centre. A Pension and Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) wing, overseen by an Additional Director, will manage pension-related matters.
Staff from the merged departments will remain in their current office at Perasiriyar K. Anbalagan Maaligai, now under the control of the Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts, who will also serve as the ex-officio Director of Pension. The Commissioner will be responsible for budgeting and reconciliation for the newly merged wings. Further rationalization of posts and functions within these wings is anticipated. The government stated that necessary budget provisions will be made for the merged entities.
