CHINEESE INTRUSION AT TAWANG BORDER BEING PUSHED BACK BY BRAVE INDIAN SOLDIERS

PRESENCE OF UNPRECEDENTED CONSOLIDATION OF EX-SERVICEMEN VOTES IN HIMACHAL

 Himachal is a state which has maximum number Ex-servicemen Population. This sizable number of ESM voters were taken for granted by the Party in Power in the recently concluded state election since they were traditionally ruling Party voters. Unlike other states the Ex-servicemen electorate is a decisive factor in Himachal. The Ruling Party underestimated their Sentiments, ensured their defeat which otherwise should have been avoided if proper attention were given to their problems. The Non-Implementation of OROP revision as ordered by HSC & the fear sycosis in the minds of Ex-servicemen folk due to Stoppage Pension on account of improper Implementation of the new Defence Pension System known as SPARSH earned their anger which compelled them for a different voting pattern. Hence it is obvious that there was a consolidation of Ex-servicemen votes in Himachal which may spread to other states if the legitimate grievances of Ex-servicemen were not addressed.

KNOW THE BREAKUP OF YOUR SPARSH PPO NUMBER

1.The first phase of Migration of Pension from Legacy System to SPARSH was commenced wef 17 November 2021. During this phase around 5 Lakh Post 2016 Defence Pensioners (From Jan 2016 to Aug 2021) were migrated to SPARSH by the end of April 2022. 

From 23 August 2022, the second phase of Migration of Pension started and during this phase the Pre 2016 Defence Pensioners are being migrated to SPARSH. The process of migration is still in progress right now. Some of the Migrated Pensioners have also received e-mail/SMS from SPARSH regarding creation of their SPARSH account, Pensioner Id, Username & Password to login their portal. 

2.  In due course of time, every SPARSH Pensioner will be allotted with a 12 digit Pensioner ID number. It should be kept in mind that, your 12 digit Pensioner ID is your SPARSH PPO No too. Another important fact is that, if you add 01 to your Pensioner ID as Suffix, then this 14 digit number will be your SPARSH Username to login your SPARSH account. 

For example, if your Pensioner ID is 236201500203, then your

SPARSH PPO No is also the same 236201500203 and your Username is

23620150020301.

The Password as forwarded by SPARSH, is a System Generated Password & it should be changed immediately and a  new Strong Password should be created by the Pensioner for the Safety & Security of his SPARSH Account. Ok

3.    Now let's analyse how the SPARSH PPO number has been allotted to the Pensioners. Actually the SPARSH PPO number is assigned in a logical way and here each digit has its own indication. 

4.   The SPARSH PPO No is a 12 digit number. Out of 12 digits, the first three digits ( from L to R) indicate the Service and Category of the Pensioner. Here Service refers to - Army, Navy, Air Force & Defence Civillian and Category refers to - Officer & Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR). Details of the same is enumerated below --

101 - Army Officers

102 - Army officers of AMC, RVC, MNS, ADC & TA

201 to 250 - Army PBOR

301 - Navy Officers

401 - Navy PBOR

501 - Air Force Officers

601 - Air Force PBOR

402 - Defence Civilian Officers

701 - IDAS (Indian Defence Accounts Service) Officers

801 - Defence Civilian PBOR. 

5.    For further clarity of the above facts, let's take an example of a SPARSH PPO No, so to say - 236201500203. For better understanding, let's re-arrange the 12 digits of this PPO number as under -

2 36-2015-00203.

(a)    The 1st digit ( 2) indicates the Pensioner is from Army (because 1 & 2 is allotted to Army). And the 2nd & 3rd digit ( 36) indicate the Record office of the Pensioner. Record Offices of the Army have been allotted Code numbers from 01 to 50. In this series, 36 is allotted to AEC Records. Hence 236 indicates that, this PPO belongs to an Army Pensioner & his RO is AEC Records.

Some other Record Offices have been allotted the following codes -

ASC (S) Records - 40

ASC (MT) Records - 41

MEG Records - 22

and so on...... 

(b)     4th to 7th digit ( 2015) indicate the Year of Retirement of the Pensioner. 

(c)     8th to 12th digit, that means the last five digits indicate the Running serial number of PPO. In this case it is 00203

6.   Further, when the first Corrigendum PPO is generated, 01 is added with the PPO number as suffix. 

For Example : 236201500203-01

If second Corrigendum PPO is generated 02 will be added as suffix and so on..... 

7. Action to be taken by Pensioners after getting message from SPARSH :-

(a)   Open the SPARSH Website by typing - sparsh.defencepension.gov.in 

and once the Website is opened, Login to your SPARSH Account by using the valid Username & Password as forwarded to you through email/SMS by SPARSH. 

(b)  Change the Password & create a Strong Password as per the instructions given therein. 

(c)  Next important task is PDV (Pensioner Data Verification). Unless & until your PDV is not completed, you can't proceed into your SPARSH Account. 

(d)  After completion of PDV, check your Pending Personal Data like Aadhaar, PAN, Home address etc. If not updated, complete the same. 

(e) Once your Aadhaar & PAN is updated in your SPARSH Account, submit your DLC (Digital Life Certificate). 

It should be borne in mind that, your DLC can only be submitted successfully in SPARSH, if your Aadhaar has already been updated in your SPARSH Account, otherwise not. 

NOTE:  Being a SPARSH Pensioner of the First Phase Migration, I shared these information out of my experience. If you think, these information may be useful for the newly migrated pensioners, please share this with them.
