Batching is a process that involves clubbing all the benefits approved by the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) checker in Ni-kshay each day into a single batch before sending it to the Public Finance Management System (PFMS) for processing.


All the benefits processed and approved by a single agency are identified by agency code and clubbed together in batches at three predefined time periods in a day. The process of batching happens automatically in Ni-kshay based on the approval status of the benefits generated during the day.

 

Process of batching of benefits in Ni-kshay

  • For every unique PFMS Agency linked in Ni-kshay, three batches are generated each day at present.
  • PFMS reads the batch as a whole and checks for data integrity in the batch and these batches are either accepted or rejected by the PFMS Approver. 
    - If the batch is accepted, Payment advice (PPA) is generated, signed, and sent to the bank for processing. 
    - If the batch is rejected, the benefits are sent back to DBT Maker for correction and will be visible under their ‘Pending’ tab in Ni-kshay.
  • Irrespective of the number of errors and the number of faulty benefits, PFMS may reject the entire batch even if a single benefit is faulty. 
  • For the remaining correct benefits in the rejected batch, it will automatically retrigger the next day into a new batch and be sent for processing in the PFMS.
