Friday, October 12, 2018 / 51 Comments

It is very common to organize educational tours amidst the course of study considering the educational significance and purpose as it breaks the monotony of learning and refresh the students to indulge in their curricular activities with new vigor to trigger their knowledge. Its impact on learning experiences is so good that it has become a need and a part of the course. The certain things to be remembered while organizing study tours have been given in detail through different circulars by the General Education Department and Directorate of Higher Secondary Education.

Study Tour Planning and Schedule

In higher secondary schools study tours should be conducted in the month of October, November or December. It should be planned in such period that it should not affect the exams, fairs and working days.

How to Organize School Study Tours

The place selected for study tour, stay, travelling days and programme etc should be decided after a discussion with the PTA executive committee. Also the minutes of the PTA executive committee meeting regarding the study tour should be kept safely. Study tours can not be allowed without the consent of the PTA.

To get Permission for Study Tour

Even though, the PTA executive committee gives consent to organize the same, the relevant documents should be submitted to the Regional Deputy Director(RDD) seeking permission for the tour in the higher secondary level. Given below are the documents to be produced with regard to this

4.The list of students.

It should be done before the schedule of the tour to obtain permission from the RDD.

Teacher Representatives

The presence of a teacher is must in the ratio of 1:15, and it should be a male teacher for boys and female teacher for girls. There should be a change in the accompanying teachers. The inclusion of family members of principal or teachers for the trip, must be avoided. Whereas the the PTA representatives can take part if they are willing. The principal or the tour convener ought to submit the report of the tour conducted, to the RDD within a week after the trip. The feed back / opinion of the teachers and students be included in it.

How to Process Professional Tax in SPARK ?

How to Process Professional Tax in SPARK ?

Monday, August 6, 2018 / 10 Comments

Its time again to remit Professional tax. Now there is a change in the earlier mode of payment. It was adding six months income and calculating tax and remitting the amount towards tax in person. When the salary bills processing has become online, SPARK has bid farewell to such obsolete methods and time has passed by after the facility had been set up. Shall we deduct professional tax from this month salary itself? Let’s have a look on the way of doing it in Establishment interface in SPARK.

STEP 1
Salary Matters >> Processing >> Professional tax Calculation

STEP 2
Select DDO, Bill type from the following window.

STEP 3

If previous entry exists, click Remove Existing Professional tax to remove it. Then click Include Professional Tax. As the window opens, First half /Second half can be seen just below the Financial year. Since it is time to pay for the first half (April – Sep), click First half. Needless to say to click second half for paying tax amount of that particular period.

Click confirm to proceed. The details of professional tax deduction of those in Bill Type selected would be available then. To print/save the deduction statement, click Print Professional Tax Deduction.

When it is done, Professional tax deduction entry in Deduction column in Present Salary Details of staff in that Bill Type would be there.

STEP 4

Now, the salary for this month can be processed as usual. Professional tax schedule also can be printed out with other schedules from Bills and Schedule. This amount will be credited to the Special TSB account (STSB) in the name of DDO after the bill has been passed. Now the professional tax can be paid to the Panchayath / Municipality by cheque or payment transfer through cheque. Also, professional tax statement from SPARK can be submitted with this.

Higher Secondary Exam Fund Settlement in BIMS

Higher Secondary Exam Fund Settlement in BIMS

Friday, March 23, 2018 / 3 Comments

The govt has published a circular regarding exam fund distribution that it should be done through either bank or treasury account only. The remuneration to teachers and other staff for invigilation duty, practical duty etc has to be given from the allotment, sanctioned in BIMS. But the entry of account details of the staff (beneficiary) in BIMS portal is a time consuming job. Besides, the job should be meticulously carried out.

Now the facility to export the account details in CSV file mode is available in the IExam software. It is possible for us to upload the account details entered thus, to BIMS portal. It makes the job easier as the arduous task of making the direct entry of beneficiary details can be avoided further.
