Dear Sir / Madam
Recording of PPO Number in the
passbook of Pensioners / Family Pensioners
As you are aware, it has been
decided to record the PPO number in all the pension passbooks of the
pensioners/family pensioners issued to them. This is to alleviate the
difficulties reported by pensioners/family pensioners to get duplicate
Pension Payment Orders (PPO) in case of missing of original PPO, transfer
of pension account from one bank/branch to another bank/branch,
commencement of family pension to spouse or dependent children after the
death of pensioner, etc. in the absence of ready availability of PPO
numbers.
2. Necessary instructions in
this regard have already been issued to all authorised banks by the Central
Pension Accounting Office vide their Office Memorandum
CPAO/Tech/Clarifications/P&PW/2014-15/426-497 dated September 17, 2014 and Office of Principal Controller of
Defence Accounts (Pension) vide their Circular No.185 dated November 28,
2016 (copies enclosed).
3. However, it has been noticed
that a few agency banks have not yet implemented the instructions in all
their branches. Accordingly all agency banks are therefore advised to
record the PPO numbers on the passbook of pensioners/family pensioners.
Yours faithfully
(Partha Choudhuri)
