For continuation of pension, NRI/NDG pensioner can furnish his life Certificate through the said email id. Requests of annual Identification of NRI SPARSII pensioners received in this email are being processed through DAK module of SPARSH system by a dedicated team in a time bound manner. Hence, the item may be treated as closed. |
