Mr. Sharma, a Drawing Officer in the Ministry of Agriculture, receives a notification from the Director, Postal Life Insurance, Kolkata, about a new PLI policy for Ms. Verma, an employee in his department. He creates a new entry for Ms. Verma in the PLI register (Form GFR 20), noting her policy number and premium amount. Each month, when preparing the salary bill, Mr. Sharma deducts the PLI premium from Ms. Verma's salary and records the deduction in the register, referencing the bill number. If Ms. Verma gets transferred to another department, Mr. Sharma will score out her name from the register and note the transfer date and the new department in the remarks column.
