Role of DAD
Vendor payment processing for defence procurement
The Defence Accounts Department processes vendor and supplier payments through its network of CDA and PCDA offices across India. Bills submitted by vendors for goods and services supplied to defence establishments are verified, audited and paid through these offices.
Defence procurement is conducted through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP). The Department ensures compliance with the Prompt Payment Code and tracks all payments through the Public Financial Management System (PFMS).

What do you need help with?
Payment not received
If your payment has not been credited after bill submission, contact the bills section of the CDA/PCDA office that processes your bills. You may also check the payment status on PFMS using your vendor code.
Bill submission process
Bills must be submitted to the CDA/PCDA office along with the supply order, inspection note, delivery challan and GST invoice. Ensure all documents are complete to avoid returns. Bills can be tracked through the concerned office.
GST and TDS queries
GST is deducted as per applicable rates on all taxable supplies. TDS under Section 194C/194J is deducted at source. For TDS certificates (Form 16A), contact the paying CDA/PCDA office at the end of each quarter.
Grievance redressal
For unresolved payment issues, write to the head of the CDA/PCDA office handling your payments, or escalate to the CGDA office in Delhi.
