OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub:- Revision of PPOs of pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners - use of e-scroll for retrieving information from Banks - reg.

   The undersigned is directed to state that Annexure III has been used to obtain information from Banks for revision of PPOs of pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners. It is seen that getting information from Banks is fraught with difficulties. Secondly, the Annexure III sent by the banks are in many cases incomplete to the extent that the calculation details are not available for evaluation by the PAOs and as such the Annexure is being used largely to confirm the existence of the pensioner/family pensioner and to link him/her with the current paying branch.

   B)Concerned authorities now can close the complaint at their level w/o resolving it.

   c)Complete details recorded by the identified association while registering the grievance are not forwarded to concerned authority.

   d)Concerned authorities at ground level do not get the enclosed supporting documents.

   e)Authorities are not sensitive enough.
