OFFICE 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.
