    PDCA(Pension) should give clearly in a table format to avoid confusion to cppcs and individuals. PDCA(P) Allabad should also give clarity to all CPPCs "on Last Rank Held" and "Rank for pension" for pre-2006 defense pensioners in which there lot of confusion.

    Cppc union bank of India intimated that corrigendum ppo is essential for effecting payment of arrears.pda(pension) allahabad may look into this and issue necessary orders to make payment expediosly.

    Revision of pension pre 2006 pensioners, is it applicable for ex- servicemen also! Please, clarify.

  • Instead of cryptic orders, the PCDA (P) could have given detailed scales for each and every rank with examples. Both the pensioners and the PDAs get confused with the twisted, ambiguous language and the linked past orders on this subject. In future and now they can change their attitude.

      Well said Sir,PCDA always write compound sentences.

    • Jacob Sebastian 8 years ago

      Yes Mr. Manohar, you have very aptly expressed.Even the expert on defence pensioners matters will have a very tough time to interpret the orders and go about it in disburing as per the orders to each and every rank in the three services. Then how can the designted PDAs' can do it by themselves without proper guidance with examples…….

  • Sir, "GOD IS GREAT".pRAYER OF JONIOR WOUNDED JAWANS and WAR WIDOWS have been FULFILLED. GOD BLESS,

  • Please implement this OM as soon as possible and before the 7th CPC is coming to be implemented so that there will be no confusion in fixing pension which may also depend upon the present pension.Kindly direct the concerned including the Rlys for issuing revised PPOs and payment of arrears quickly.
