Guidelines for Preparation of Arrear/ Supplementary Bill in WBIFMS
Please Note the difference between Arrear payment and Supplementary payment
Arrear payment is an outstanding payment for a period that accrues when a difference arises between payment (Due) and payment (Drawn). It is important to note that there must have been a drawal and disbursement of fund by the competent authority and it was paid to the incumbent, but such payment turns out to be lesser than the amount becoming due at a later date.
For example: Mr. X, an employee, upon being given a functional promotion, gets an upward pay revision with effect from an early date and his pay stands revised for a period spanning 6 months. It is found that he has duly drawn his salaries for that period. But since his pay got revised and consequently it enhanced, an arrear accrues for this period and he is entitled to get the arrear as the due becomes greater than drawn.
Supplementary payment, on the other hand, is an outstanding payment to be made for a period in which no fund was drawn and disbursed. It is worth mentioning here that unlike arrear payment, no fund should have been drawn for the period for which the payment becomes due.
For example: Ms. Y, an employee, has not been paid her salary for the month of October 2019 as she was purportedly on EOL (extra ordinary leave). Her leave on being regularized by competent authority subsequently, say in December 2019, she becomes entitled to supplementary payment of her salary for the month of October 2019.
