All Agency Banks
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, 2014 and 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
(Partha Choudhuri)
General Manager
