SPARSH- A NEW SYSTEM OF DEFENCE PENSION PAYMENT

 

SPARSH- NEW  DEFENCE PENSION PAYMENT SYSTEM

 Dear Veteran Brothers,

There is very much talk in the air about  SPARSH, a new system of pension payment. Also, our Pension papers / DATA  are being Migrated to  SPARSH.

Already  SBI and PNB  have started  transferring the PPOs to SPARSH .

Here after, the pension will be credited to our Bank account direct from SPARSH ( PCDA)  and not  from CPPC.   Our pension drawing Bank and account numbers will remain the same.

As per the  Scheme/ procedure, as soon as the PPO is received by SPARSH,  a SMS  will be send  to the pensioner to his Registered Mobile number  allotting  

a User ID and Pass  word.  The pensioner has to save the  same for all correspondences later.   All veterans  are advised to keep a watch for the SMS.

Note: 

Some veterans might have changed their Mobile numbers due to various reasons .

If  they have not informed/ linked the New number with their Pension account with the Bank, the SMS sent by SPARSH will not reach the pensioners.  And no pension will be credited to his account.  In that cases, the pensioner has to Run  Pillar to Post for  getting his pension by having correspondences with PCDA/ Sparsh/ Service Centers/ Call centers etc.  Thus , one has to face Delay/ financial hardship  and mental agony.

As on date, if  pensioners are receiving  monthly pension credit information on their Mobile, it is confirmed that their  Mobile number  is registered with pension A/c.

If no SMS is received,  then it is doubtful of your Mobile number is registered.

 All our veteran brothers  are advised to confirm that their Mobile number  is registered/ Linked to their pension a/c  immediately  to avoid  the hardship .

Our ESM associations are requested to help  widows//Family pensioners in this regard as they may not be aware of all these developments.  It will be a great service to Family pensioners.
