Ans. When an employee details are verified and locked by DDO Checker and employees PFMS Unique ID have been generated by the system, the employee will be available for attachment to a bill group.

Ans. The probable reasons for non-availability of an employee for attachment to a bill group may be due to following reason/s:

1. The employees' details have not been locked and verified by DDO Checker.
2. The PFMS Unique ID has not been generated.
3. The Mobile Number details are not correct. Please note that mobile number is not mandatorily required for generation of PFMS Unique ID. However, if entered in the system, it must be correct.
4. The employees' details have been just locked and verified. A maximum of two-four hours required for generation of PFMS Unique ID after locking of the details.
5. It may be possible that employee Designation Group (A, B Gz, B NGz, C or D) is different from Bill Group's “Group”. For example, the Employee belongs to B Non-Gazetted Group and we may try to attached them in a Bill Group having Group A and B Gazetted.
6. It may be possible that the employee may have already been attached to any other bill group. The same can be checked through the option Pay Bill→Bill Groups→View Bill Groups attached to employee.

Ans. Just detach the employee from the Bill Group where he/she is attached.
