MEMORANDUM
Sub: Revision of PPOs of pre-2006
pensioners/family pensioners use of e-scroll for retrieving information from
Banks - reg.
The
undersigned is directed to state that Annexure III has been used to obtain
information from Banks for revision of PPOs of pre-2006 pensioners/family
pensioners. It is seen that getting information from Banks is fraught with
difficulties. Secondly, the Annexure III sent by the banks are in many cases
incomplete to the extent that the calculation details are not available for
evaluation by the PAOs and as such the Annexure is being used largely to
confirm the existence of the pensioner/family pensioner and to link him/her
with the current paying branch.
2.
The Central Pension Accounting
Office (CPAO) has suggested that e-scroll data, which is being received in CPAO
from most of the banks may be used and the problems indicated above may be
solved. The e-scroll contains 13 fields of information such as Name of the
pensioner, PPO number (New) / PPO number (old), name of the Ministry, PAO code,
bank name, BSR code, Account number, pension category, basic pension, DR,
Additional Pension, Month of Pay and date of transaction. These fields may be
useful for the purpose of revision of PPOs of pre-2006 pensioners/family
pensioners. Another utility of e-scroll is that it may be used to eliminate
invalid pensioners/family pensioners.
3.
It is seen that the e-scroll is a
factual and useful source of information of the pensioners/family pensioners.
Therefore, it is recommended that e-scroll may be accepted for retrieving
information for revision of PPO, in addition to Annexure III. Ministry of
Railways, M/o Defence and Departments of Posts and Telecommunications (for
pensioners receiving their pension through banks) are also requested to use
e-scroll sent by the Banks in addition to Annexure III (Annexure IV in case of
Defence pensioners) for the purpose of retrieving relevant information of such
pensioners/family pensioners in case of whom Annexure III/IV are not made
available by the Banks.
