(a) The SCFs are not matched because either the accredited Bank of the PAO is not forwarding the required details to the Trustee Bank as part of the electronic transfers or there is mismatch in funds remitted and the amount uploaded in the SCF. (b) Funds remitted to Trustee Bank include contribution of the employees for whom PRAN has not been generated. (c) As SCFs uploaded by the PAOs have not been matched in the CRA system, the underlying IRAs have not been credited with the contribution. The latest status of all pending files is available at the CRA website which can be accessed by Pr.AOs / PAOs as well as on NPS Cell home page on WAN. 8.2 Pr.AOs , as oversight mechanism, may look into all match pending cases in respect of SCFs uploaded by the PAOs under their jurisdiction and resolve all such cases before 15th June 2009. A detailed list of Name Mismatch cases, Multiple PRAN requests and List of PAOs who have not uploaded a single file till date, received from NSDL has been provided at the NPS WAN (URL provided in para 1 above): i) All Pr.AOs are advised to examine and take corrective actions in respect of PAOs under their jurisdiction. In case of multiple PRAN requests for a single PPAN some PAOs have taken the stand that data provided by them is correct but has not been confirmed by the other PAO and this is creating an impasse. This requires immediate intervention by Pr.AOs. In case of PAOs who are yet to upload a single file Pr.AOs may confirm to this office through e-mail whether non upload is due to oversight or due to absence of any subscriber.
