How to start your salary

Today we will talk about the most important topic of all.... How to start your pay from district account office after joining.

DHQ and THQ :

1.For DHQ and THQ it is done by the hospital clerks managing hospital finance. After your joining the first thing you need to do is to send your documents for attestation to relevant boards and universities .In the past adhoc could submit affidavit but recently (from june 2018) this is no more acceptable.This is now a compulsory requirement.Without it your pay cannot b started. Your clerk will send your documents along with pay orders or drafts of the fee required by the said board /university and an attestation request from the MS of the hospital to your respective institution for attestation by post.Now there are few Problems you can face.Clerk office can stall sending the orders for months .They can ask for money to do so etc. its varies .The fast way is to get those letters from the clerks and then TCS urself. Although the attested documents will b sent back to your hospital directly.The board and university usually refuse to hand over the attested documents to you.
2. When your clerk office will receive the documents then they will start the procedure of pay release and entering your name in the system. The clerk will give you a huge form and ask you to fill it and sign it.It contains basic information.You will have to ask clerks to help you fill it as it contains technical terms etc.That take 15 min to fill if clerk is co-operative. After this he will prepare your file (attach your documents and medical certificate along with attestation certificate, bank account check copy etc) and will send it to the district account office for further proceedings.He will also type your allowances like House rent , Non practice certificate etc.keep eye on those.
3. The District account office will make your payslip and add all allowances that are applicable to you and will generate a personal number for u. This will b sent to Secretariat to start your pay.You will get your pay with the next pay roll in your bank account.

For BHU and RHC the edo office clerks (CEO office) will do all the above work and will send your file to district account office the similar way like as in DHQ/THQ.

Ok now this all above i said is too naive :D .Its not that easy. You see there are clerks involved everywhere. And at most places clerks do nothing unless u bribe them. So to start your 1st pay u have to move your file by urself. And u may hav to give small bribe along the way.You may have to go to district account office to bribe someone there as well. Remember do not give too much bribe or they will make it habit to ask for money for every little thing.Also you may have to bribe the clerk of ur hospital or CEO office for allowances.They try to cut the allowances for no reason.
Now this experience is highly dependent of district to district.Better to ask your senior already working there that what is the system here in that district.

Remember young doctor not to fight with clerks.Its of no use.

And finally ... U will get your first pay after 3 to 4 months if u peruse and bribe correctly :P . And you will get your rest of the pay of previous months as arrears in next few months after your 1st pay depending on how efficient you are in nagging the clerks.Recently the have changed the system.Now you do not have to make separate bills for previous pays.They will be automatically added to your pay once it starts.Though this is still buggy.

This is pure educational post :D . It may highly vary in your district.Main principle will remain the same
