==Why CPSMS==
Line 12 ⟶ 30:
 
MISs based on post facto data feeding suffer from drawbacks of inefficiencies, inconsistencies, gaps and perennial reconciliations, as they are not integrated with the process flow. CPSMS attempts to address this, and the associated issues of transparency and accountability related to the SPV mode of implementation, keeping all the advantages of the mode intact.

==Modus Operandi==
Line 24 ⟶ 35:
 
Post registration, CPSMS will enable one to one validation or payment authorization of each release of funds, whether expenditure, advance, or transfer. The corresponding instrument number and amount for any release would need to be entered in the system at the time of approval, before the actual transaction. Through the CPSMS-CBS interface, this information would be shared with the banks’ CBS and an instrument of payment will be honored by banks only when the corresponding entry is received through the CPSMS.
 
==Current Implementation Status==
The system is now available in all the central ministries and all the state, ministry and scheme reports are available to users in these ministries.
