Change in Judiciary Development Fund Savings Account Number
OCA Circular No. 34-98, issued on June 4, 1998, informs all clerks of various Philippine courts about the change in the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) savings account number from 159-01163-1 to 0591-0116-34, following the Land Bank of the Philippines' implementation of an online deposit facility. Despite the transition, it emphasizes that the old account number may still be used for deposits, but courts should not rely on this as an excuse to neglect their responsibilities. All clerks and accountable officers are instructed to ensure that future JDF transactions utilize the updated account number. The circular is signed by Court Administrator Alfredo L. Benipayo.

OCA CIRCULAR NO. 34-98
| TO | : | All Clerks of Courts of Regional Trial Courts, Metropolitan Trial Courts, Municipal Trial Courts in Cities, Municipal Circuit Trial Courts, Municipal Trial Courts, Shari'a District Courts and Shari'a Circuit Courts |
| SUBJECT | : | Change in Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) Savings Account Number |
The Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) — Taft Avenue Branch has called our attention to the continued usage of Savings Account No. 159-01163-1 by several of our lower courts when depositing collections accruing to the JDF although the aforesaid account number had been changed to 0591-0116-34 upon the cited branch's availment of the "on-line deposit facility" on June 18, 1993.
As a precautionary measure, LBP branches all over the country were advised that deposits made under the old number shall be credited to the new account number. However, this should not be used as an excuse by our courts to skirt a responsibility.
In view hereof, all Clerks of Courts/Accountable Officers concerned are hereby directed to utilize the new number in all JDF deposit transactions with the bank.
(SGD.) ALFREDO L. BENIPAYOCourt Administrator
