<h1>Government Enforces PFMS Use for Central Sector Schemes to Boost Financial Management by March 2017 Deadline.</h1> The government has mandated the universal implementation of the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) across all Central Sector Schemes to enhance financial management and ensure efficient fund utilization.
