Activation of the solution has already led to filtering out of hundreds of applications for advances that were against the rules, thereby improving service delivery to the deserving applicants, as well as saving the exchequer from undue burden of advances to those employees who have not repaid due instalments on previous advances. Furthermore, rules are enforced by the system through which an employee is barred from getting a particular advance more than twice during the length of her/his service. It also tracks repayment of advances and makes sure that next advance is only allowed to an employee once he has paid back the required number of instalments of the previous advance as per the applicable rules. The solution ensures that the employees get the advances according to the order in which they have applied for the same.
