RELAXATION OF LIFE TIME ARREARS CERTIFICATE

RELAXATION  OF LIFE TIME ARREARS CERTIFICATE (LTA)

Of late, it has come to light that the PDAs are unable to issue the LTA certificate due to various reasons, which causes inordinate delay in sanctioning Family pension to the widows.

To avoid this delay for sanctioning , the CDA has issued a Circular No.476, wherein , the requirement of LTA has been relaxed/waived.

The Claimant/ widow has to give a Certificate in the form of an Affidavit / Indemnity bond stating that

“ Her husband/ deceased was a pensioner at the time of his/ her death. He/ She has neither been convicted / sentenced/ remarried  nor changed his/ her nationality before death.  If at later stage, he/ she is found in-eligible for grant of Family pension, he/ she will be liable to refund the entire amount with interest paid to his/ her as family pension.

This certificate/ affidavit should be witnessed by  2 defence pensioners.

Dear veteran brothers, please guide the affected widows about this relaxation.

CDA(P) INTRODUCES SUVIGYA PROGRAMME

CDA (P) WEBSITE INCLUDES “SUVIGYA” SOFTWARE

At last, the CDA(P) Allahabad website www.pcdapension.nic.in has included the “Suvigya” software in their website.  Now all internet users can log on to www.pcdapension.nic.in and clik at “Suvigya” software to know the amount of their pension payable to them.

This is the first time that the “Suvigya” software has been uploaded in the net successfully.  It is a great relief to many defence pensioners.  Although there are some difference in the pension calculation of certain ranks like Hon.Nb.Sub. and Nb.Sub.  But otherwise, the software is very much useful for all the defence pensioners.

Earlier, this software was made available to Director General of Resettlement for issue to all the directorate of ex-servicemen welfare throughout the country.  But unfortunately, this approach was of very limited use.  Now,  since  it has been made available through the internet, every defence pensioner can  make use of this programme.  Well done CDA(P) Allahabad.
