DEFENCE SALARY PACKAGE (DSP) AND DEFENCE PENSION ACCOUNT (DPA) REGARDING



 DEFENCE SALARY  PACKAGE(DSP)  AND DEFENCE PENSION ACCOUNT(DPA)  REGARDING.

Dear veterans, 

We all know that, there is MOU between MOD and Banks for certain benefits for Defence serving  and retired personnel.  Accordingly, most our veterans have converted their Normal Saving Bank account to DSP   

Now, we understand that, there is difference between DSP  and DPA.   DSP for serving  and DPA for retired personnel. 

The rule says that, in DSP a/c  , if the  salary is not credited consecutively  for three months, the benefit will be cancelled automatically.  After discharge, there will be no SALARY credit,  For pensioner, there will be only Pension credit.,. Hence, the DSP account will be automatically cancelled. one should have DEFENCE PENSION ACCOUNT instead of  DSP a/c  to get the benefits.  

or

PLEASE CHECK UP IN THE PASS BOOK, IF THE  TYPE OF A/C IS MENTIONED 

AS  DSP-PEN A/C  IT IS OK.

A case had been noticed that, one Subedar , retired from service with DSP account  and dies with an Accident, after say one year after discharge. When his wife claimed for the insurance benefit, the Authorities rejected the claim stating that, the pensioner  was not having DEFENCE PENSION ACCOUNT (DPA) . He was having only Salary a/c ,and  there was no Salary credit, the claim is rejected.  So this is the position.

 In view of the above case study,  our Defence pensioners are requested to convert their  existing Normal SB account  to DPA- Defence Pension Account / DSP-PEN a/c instead of DSP a/c to get the Insurance and other benefits.

All our veterans are requested to note same and pass on this important message to other veterans in their areas.

HARDSHIP FACED BY WIDOWS IN GETTING LTA(LIFE TIME ARREARS)CERTIFICATE FROM BANKS

 


DISCREPANCY REGARDING  LTA  CERTIFICATE.

As per procedure, after death of a pensioner, if there is no PPO in her favour,  the widow has to  apply for family pension and receive the claim forms from respective Record office.

One of the Documents  is  LTA-  (Life Time Arrears) certificate, which is to be issued by PDA of the deceased pensioner.  Bur, in practice, the PDAs  insist the claimant to get it filled. The claimant approaches   some ESM or Associations.   Again. Some PDA wants proof of the Rate of pension mentioned in the LTA form. Actually, this is the duty of PDA, the last Payment particulars is available   with them, but they insist to get it  filled , this is unfortunate.

On coming to know this happenings, and  delay due to non acceptance of LTA,  the PCDA had issued 2 Circulars, Cir 389 and 476  where by, the claimant can submit a Declaration-in the form of Affidavit/Indemnity bond  in lieu of LTA, witnessed by  2  Ex-Servicemen..  

But still, some Banks/ ROs insist for LTA only which is not reasonable.   In view of this rejection, PCDA has again issued   one more circular 656 dated  10-01-2022   repeating/ reminding the same  circulars to accept the  DECLARATION  in Lieu Of LTA.

Here,   respective  ROs  may view the genuineness of case and accept the  Declaration  in lieu of LTA.  Thus  the  hardship to the widow/ claimant  may be avoided and   family pensioned sanctioned  without delay.

Our ESM associations and senior veterans may guide the claimants suitably in this regard.
