| 6. | Issues of restoration of commutation of pension (delayed restoration due to data mismatch or missing data on SPARSH portal) |
After receiving actual date of payment of CVP and start date of recovery of commutation from banks, the start as well as restoration date of commutation recovery has been updated in SPARSH. Pensioners have facility to raise grievances for correct date of restoration. After due verification, such requests are being updated and excess recovery of commutation, if any, is also being refunded to the pensioners’ account. In the cases where Banks have expressed their inability to share date of restoration due to non-availability of old records pertaining to manual period, restoration date on account of commutation is being considered as per provision contained in DP&AR OM dated 10.07.1980 (available at Gol, Decision No. 1 below Rule 10A of CCS (P) Rules 2021) read with Para 3 of DoP&PW OM dated 22.08.1990 [available at GoI ID No. 3 below rule of CCS (Commutation of Pension) Rules 1981], Incidentally, there are approx. 12000 cases where restoration date is missing Hence, the item may be treated as closed. |
