Sub: Incorrect/Wrong practice being followed by banks in payment of Defence Pension on e-PPOs.
Consequent upon generation of e-PPO by this office for all categories of
Defence Pensioners, procedures for forwarding of e-PPOs by the Pension
Sanctioning Authorities to the Pension Disbursing Authorities and
e-verification of these e-PPOs were issued under this office circular
No. 588 dated 20.10.2017
The procedure mentioned in above circular clearly states that a copy of
e-PPO, duly digitally singed will be sent to the bank through SFTP
connectivity which this office has established with various banks and
through email id pcdapedp.cgda@nic.in to others bank and other PDAs
(except DPDO to whom the PPOs are forwarded through CGDA WAN) who have
not established SFTP connectivity that time. A copy of these e-PPOs,
duly digitally signed will also sent electronically to Army HQrs/Record
Offices(ROs)/ Head of Offices for scrutinizing and checking the same.
Army HQrs/ Record Offices(ROs) / Head of Offices were required to
provide to the PDA a hard copy of the e-PPO( after printing from the PDF
file) along with the descriptive roles of the Descriptive Particulars
of the pensioners.
PDAs were advised to affect the payment based on e-PPO received by them
through SF TP/email only after confirmation from the Army HQrs/Record
Offices(ROs)/ Head of Offices in the form of receipt of hard copy of
e-PPO and Descriptive Role and Descriptive Particular.
However, flagrant incidents of ignoring the above guidelines by the
banks have been noticed where banks are found making payment on the
basis hard copy of e-PPOs where PPO has been issued in favour of CPDA,
Allahabad instead of banks.
In view of the above, all the banks are requested that on receipt of
hard copy of PPOs from Army HQrs/Record Offices(ROs)/ Head of Offices
may invariably be confirmed with e-PPO received through SFTP and payment
may be released only if they are authorized to make payment by that
e-PPO. In case, e-PPO shows that PDA is other agency e-PPO may not be
acted upon.
