The Recently formed political Party conjointly by retired soldiers and Kisan namely Bharatheeya jawan kisan Party (BJKP)is committed to exservicemen fraternity. One of the most worrying problem among so many is the proceedure and expenditure for changing the date of birth and correcting/changing the name of dependents of retired Armed forces soldiers. Hence BJKP humbly submit the following for your kind intervention to alleviate the hardship of retired soldiers who always given predominant consideration to our great Nation than their personal benefits or comforts
Sir, PCDAs have started issuing ePPOs for pre 2016 pensioners. It has been noticed that particulars endorsed in most of the ePPOs especially the name and date of births of spouse are found to be wrong with the education /birth certificates, adhar , pan card, passport, voter id card and like civil documents.Since the introduction of Adhar card every institutions are demanding to submit adhar card as a proof for Date of birth. Instances have occured that the widows are denied family pension as the particulars endorsed in PPO is not matching with adhar card and other documents. The proceedure for correcting the names are not similar in every arm of the Armed Forces and it is different in the cases of various Record offices of Army . This may be caused due to not apprising the concerned Record Offices either by ESM organisations or by the ESMs individually.
Poor ESMs getting only minimum pension(9000/- basic pension ) spend more than one month of their pension (upto 15000/-) to rectify the errors caused inadvertently either by ESMs or in the Record Office.
most commonly, the Records offices demand Gazette Publication and news paper advertisement, marriage certificate, affidavit by judicial first class majistrate (compulsory for some Record Offices ) or by Notary alongwith other documents.Gathering the above documents are a himalayan task. At least 3 months Streneous efforts, frequent visits to various Govt offices and a heavy expenditure required for the poor ESMs to rectify these minute errors while Retired officers drawing pension near to lakh could be rectified the same errors on submiting a self application with an expense of only 5 Rupees for the envolope to submit their application. Correction in names are not to be considered as change of name since lion part of these are spelling mistakes, initial placed before or after names,Name of spouse recorded by adding the name of husband or Etc and mismatch of date of birth recorded in Military Documents with original birth /education certificates.
Zila Sainik Welfare Offices (ZSWOs)are meant and functioning in every Districts and the expenses of these offices are borne by the people of the country for the welfare of soldiers. Genuiness of the application for change of birth and correction of name can be verified and vetted by ZSWOs themselves and recommend to correct the perticulars for endorsing in the pension payment order and military documents thereby the finacial and physical hardship of these poor ESMs and expenditure of the Govt. could be curatiled to almost NIL.. Our poor soldiers are suffering this hardship since independence .
Hence we humbly request the following
1. The same proceedure for Retired officers to be made applicable to the retired soldiers also
Or
2. Implement uniform proceedure for all and Simplify the proceedure.
3. The application for rectifying the above could be allowed to send either through EMAIL or online application like applying for the various schemes in Kendriya Sainik Board.
3. The above problem is the only one among many. Hence we humbly request the time convenient to meet you in person for our President, Secretary and one of our cordinator to apprise the problems of our poor ESMs.
Thanking you in anticipation of an early action
With warm regards
President
