Though the official instructions are yet to be released, experts believe the process will be similar to the ROPA 2009 Option Form submission. This article provides a probable, easy-to-follow guide to help you stay prepared in advance.

🛠️ Step 1: Login to the WBIFMS Portal

Go to the official WBIFMS website.
Click on the “e-Services for Employees” option on the homepage.
Enter your Employee ID and Password to log in.
If you’ve forgotten your password, simply use the ‘Forgot Password’ option to reset it.

📄 Step 2: Locate the DA Arrear Option

After logging in, you’ll see your employee dashboard with different modules like ROPA Option, HRA Declaration, etc.
You will likely find a new option titled ‘DA Arrear Claim Form’ or ‘Apply for Arrear DA’.
Click on that option to proceed.

📝 Step 3: Fill in the Form and Verify Details

An online form will appear on your screen. Since the WBIFMS database already stores your employment data, most of the fields will be auto-filled.

✅ Things to Check:

• Your Name, Designation, Employee ID, Department

• Arrear Time Period (Likely 2009 to 2019)

• Basic Pay, Promotion details, or any Pay Revision Info related to that period

Make sure all the information is accurate before proceeding.

📤 Step 4: Submit and Save Acknowledgement

Once you’ve verified all details, click on the ‘Submit’ button.
You’ll receive an Acknowledgement Slip with a Reference/Application Number.
Make sure to download or print this slip and save it for future use—especially to track your application status.

👨‍🏫 What About Teachers and Other Staff Outside WBIFMS?

Teachers and staff who draw salaries through other platforms may follow a different process. In such cases, a separate notification or platform is likely to be announced soon.

⚠️ Important Note

This is a tentative process, based on internal reports and previous experiences (like ROPA 2009).
Once the official government circular is released, the actual steps may differ slightly. So, stay tuned to the WBIFMS portal and official government channels for updates.
