The Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, Office of the Controller General of Accounts has issued an Office Memorandum dated 10.09.2026. This document outlines the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) under SNA SPARSH.

Key Highlights
- Issuing Authority: O/o Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance on 10.09.2026.
- Reference Number: File No. I-126/3/2022-ITD-CGA/95.
- System Enhancements: Provides functionality to deactivate approved SG Account Mappings and reject approved Scheme Configurations.
- New Configuration Fields: Introduces data capture for Third Party Funding Applicability, Third Party Contribution (%), and DBT Applicability.
- Mandatory Action: Requires a one-time update for previously approved Scheme Configurations without needing PD Checker approval.
Deactivation and Rejection Process
Under SNA SPARSH, Scheme Configuration and SG Account Mapping are critical components for operationalizing State Linked Schemes (SLS) and ensuring accurate payment processing. To address inaccuracies identified after approval, functionality has been enhanced. The State Scheme Manager (SSM) can now initiate requests for the deactivation of SG Account Mappings or rejection of Scheme Configurations based on specified reasons. To ensure control, these requests must be reviewed and approved or rejected by the concerned PD Checker.
Introduction of New Fields & One-Time Update
To appropriately capture funding and payment characteristics, new fields have been added for new SLS configurations. For Scheme Configurations that were already approved prior to the introduction of these fields, a one-time mandatory update by the SSM is required. This update is restricted only to the newly introduced fields and is not intended to modify any previously approved parameters. Upon completion of this update, the Scheme Configuration will continue to remain in "Approved" status, as it does not require PD Checker approval.
Details of New Scheme Configuration Fields
| Field Name | Description / Applicability |
|---|---|
| Third Party Funding Applicability | Selected as "Yes" where Third Party contribution is involved; otherwise "No". |
| Third Party Contribution (%) | Captured if applicability is "Yes". Must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to the State Share (%). |
| DBT Applicability | Selected as "Yes" if Direct Benefit Transfer is applicable in the scheme; otherwise "No". |
Conclusion
This Office Memorandum establishes clear procedural guidelines for modifying previously approved configurations and SG accounts under SNA SPARSH. By allowing controlled deactivations by the SSM with PD Checker review, and mandating a seamless one-time update for newer reporting fields, the system ensures accurate processing of State Linked Scheme payments.
