Sir,

Kindly refer to this Ministry’s letter No.1 (11)/20121D(Pen/Policy) dated 17.01.2013 issued in implementation of CSC-2012 recommendation relating to the captioned subject. Although enhanced rate of Ordinary Family Pension for the families of Commissioned Officers were duly taken care of in the table appended with the original letter dated 17.01.2013, this fact, however, could not be included in the body of the letter. Accordingly, following para may be inserted below para 3 of the letter No.1 (11)/2012/ D(Pen/Policy) dated 17.01.2013.

“Similarly, the minimum guaranteed enhanced rate of ordinary family pension in respect of pre-2006 Commissioned Officers/Army, Navy, Air Force, DSC & TA family pensioners shall not be less than 50% of the minimum of the fitment table for the rank in the revised pay band as indicated under fitment tables plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre- revised scale from which the pensioner had retired /discharged/invalided out / died including Military Service Pay. In case, where full revised pension is otherwise not authorised to a retired employee in terms of 6th CPC orders, the revised enhanced rate of Ordinary Family Pension shall be restricted to that amount,”

2. The provisions of this letter shall take effect from 24.9.2012.

3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Division of this Ministry vide their ID No. 10(11)/2012/FIN/PEN dated 15.10.2014.

Office Memorandum

Sub: - Software (e—PPO utility) for processing pension cases.

   1. Optimum utilization of manpower with speed and accuracy has been a thrust from the time immemorial. The revolution in Information Technology has made it possible to overcome it to a greater extent. So far, in Central Pension Accounting Office Special Seal Authorities authorizing the banks for making payments of pensions have been generated after feeding the relevant data manually based on special seal authorities received from different Pay & Accounts Officers. On the basis of this feeding data-base of pensioners is updated in Central Pension Accounting Office.

   2. But the manual feeding of data involves engagement of lot of manpower which take considerable time and leaves scope of clerical errors at the part of Central Pension Accounting Office leading to improper maintenance of Central Pension Accounting Office’s data-base, wastage of manpower, over/under payment and delay in payment.
