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, 2014and 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 advised to record the PPO numbers on the passbook of pensioners/family pensioners.
Yours faithfully

In view of issuing circulars & circulars only by Min of Finance repeated by this Deptt & that Deptt with ZERO calculations etc. Utter confusion prevails in respect of finalizing Pension for pre 2016 retirees as per 7th CPC. It shows :
– Authorities concerned utterly lack interest or
– Utterly lack competence or
– Are just unaware of the fact that they too have to retire one day and will have to face same + their
own deeds being done now while in chair
