Actions taken by Maker and Checker at various stages of benefits processing are given in the table below.

Table: Actions taken by Maker and Checker

			After the action, benefit would be visible in the benefit processing tab of Ni-kshay named:
Action	Action by	Message	For Maker	For Checker
Do nothing	Maker/ Checker	It is a default option for any benefit and implies no change in the benefit status.	Pending	Pending (Only if the benefit has been processed by Maker and sent to Checker)
Send to checker	DBT Maker	DBT Maker can send a benefit to DBT Checker by approving the benefit as DBT Maker sends the benefit.	Processing	Pending
Approve	DBT Checker	DBT Checker can approve the benefits. Once the benefit is approved by the DBT checker, benefits are clubbed into batches in PFMS. These batches are either accepted or rejected by the PFMS approver. If the batch is accepted, PPA is generated, signed, and sent to the bank for processing. If rejected, the benefits are sent back to Maker Pending.	Processing	Processing
Rejected	DBT Checker	This option is to be selected to resend the benefit to DBT Maker for his review and necessary action.	Pending
Paid external	DBT Maker/ Checker	If a benefit was paid directly via PFMS, for reconciliation purposes, it is important to update Ni-kshay. For such benefits (which have been paid externally) can be marked as “Paid External”. It is now advisable (since September 11, 2019) to make all payments from within Ni-kshay. The reconciliation process is explained in the annexure to this document.	Paid	Paid
Paid in kind	DBT Maker/ Checker	It is at the discretion of the State to disburse benefits either in cash or in kind for schemes in National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP). Some states, such as Chhattisgarh, are adopting such practices of giving benefits in kind through food baskets, etc.	Paid	Paid
Removed	DBT Maker/ Checker	Users may decide that the benefit is not to be paid to the beneficiary and have removed the benefits. For example, if a patient refuses to take the benefits or is unwilling to share the bank details, the Tuberculosis Unit (TU)/District Tuberculosis Officer (DTO) User can remove it. If a transaction has been removed by mistake, it can be ‘unremoved’ and processed further.	Removed	Removed
Deferred	DBT Maker/ Checker	Users may decide to defer the benefits in case they decide to pay them later. However, the first benefits cannot be deferred. If a Benefit is “deferred”, Ni-kshay will add the amount to the next benefit when it is due. Once a transaction is deferred, it can only be processed along with the next benefit as it becomes due.	Deferred	Deferred
