- 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.
