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. 

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR EXWEL TRUST

      OUR CHIEF LIAISON OFFICER VET.SGT.S.KANTHIAH  ALONG WITH 

 VETERAN SEP .MUTHUNAYAGAM AND HIS DAUGHTER AT OUR TRUST OFFICE.

                                 GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR EXWEL TRUST

 One veteran Ex.Sepoy MITHUNAYAGAM SALAMON ( 1331363) from MEG Records, was discharged on Disability pension after serving for 4.5 yrs  in 1968.

He was getting only Disability Element  though he was eligible for both Service Element and Disability Element.   On hearing the services of our welfare Trust, he visited our Trust office. 

On going through the available documents and Bank pass book, we confirmed that he was getting  DE  only.  We noticed  that he had received one letter in 2022  from PCDA that he is eligible for Service element, addressed to Sankarankovil Treasury office-

We took up the case with CPPC, SBI Chennai but they informed that they have not received any such letter or PPO.  Then we wrote to PCDA, Allahabad,  and requested them to send the same PPO/Letter to SBI,CPPC Chennai.  CPPC, SBI also wrote to PCDA  in this regard. 

On our advice, the veteran visited  CDA office at Chennai also.

 After having correspondences about one year, the PCDA has sent PPO  to CPPC, and the Bank has now informed that they will be crediting the Arrears of Service element from 1-1-2006 amounting  to few  Lacs.  THE VETERAN WAS SO HAPPY/

The veteran Sep  Muithunayagam Salamon  visited our Trust Office along with her daughter  and expressed their sincere gratitude  and thanks to all the members of our Trust  for all the help extended   for getting this benefit.

This is a great achievement for our efforts in getting this matter solved favorably and we are  very much satisfied with this fruitful result..

OBTAINING DEATH CERTIFICATE FOR CLAIMING FMILY PENSION FROM SPARSH

 

Dear Veteran brothers,

Nowadays, when a Veteran expired, and  whose pension account is migrated to SPARSH, we have to report the  Death event to Sparsh online.  Then Initiate family pension.

  Here for confirmation of death, we have to upload the Death certificate   and Bank details  to Sparsh and we get the  Token Number for   following up.  This is the position.

Now, we came across FEW  cases, where  the name in Death certificate and PPO differ.

For Example:  Name in PPO: PICHANDI MUTHAIAH     and in /death Certificate only MUTHAIAH.

When we  up loaded the death certificate, it is  Rejected.   Hence, we could not go for Initiate  Family pension option.   Thus, the switching over to family pension is held up.

 The village Admin officer says, the name in death certificate can not be changed.   He can give a DUAL NAME  certificate only in this case.  Like  the names  MUTHAIAH  AND  PICHANDI MUTHIAH pertains to one and the same person-   

WHEN WE SUBMITTED THE DUALnAME CERTIFICATE,  with lots of quiries,  the certificate was accepted but took about ONE year to get family pension.

Dear Veteran brothers,  and our ESM associations,  may please note this happening . You are all requested to guide the NOK or the relatives of the deceased veterans  when you attend the funeral function, ,  to obtain DEATH CERTIFICATE    WITH THE NAME  AS IN TH PPO ONLY. Also the name of spouse  as in the PPO   to avoid  such hardship at later stage  so as to have  a smooth switch to family pension.

DIVIDED FAMILY PENSION REGARDING

                                              

Dear veteran brothers, 

This article  is regarding the  Divided Family pension;

Divided pension is normally granted to  2^nd wife( lawfully)   and eligible any one of the children of first wife- ,  or 1^st wife and children of 2^nd wife.  Equal share  i.e  50% each.

In a Divided family pension cases, where one  pensioner died, the surviving pensioner is automatically  become eligible  for  full pension,  100%,  that is restoration of full pension instead of the existing 50%  

To get this benefit, the death of  pensioner is to be intimated to PDA ( Bank ) as well as the CDA or  Sparsh, if already migrated, with full particulars , PPO no, Bank  and account No etc,  along with a copy of death certificate. This is done by the living pensioner or the relatives of the deceased pensioner.. 

Sparsh Migrated case:  this event is to be reported in the  Sparsh Portal- without Login-

   Services-  Report events heading-     Death Report/ Family pension/stoppage of pension- by furnishing full particulars as per the format in the system -like details of the deceased  and the claimant   ( Death certificate,  Bank details to be uploaded ) 

After verifying the generousness  of the case (death )  . the CDA /Sparsh  will issue  a corr, PPO  informing the  PDA /*SPARSH  to pay full pension to the surviving pensioner –

  This is called RESTORATION OF FULL PENSION.

On receipt of this  instructions , corr.PPO, the PDA  or Sparsh authorities will start   paying full   pension.to the living pensioner. .

 This is the procedure  -for RESTORATION OF FULL PENSION in Divided pension cases. 

All our veterans are requested to note and guide the affected pensioners.

 

 

FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR VETERANS

 

                                              FOR INFORMATION OF OUR VETERANS 

This is regarding the eligibility of Family pension to a Judicially Separated spouse.

We are all in a opinion that a Divorced Spouse is not eligible for family pension after the death of pensioner.  But it is not so;

  If a male Govt.servant  dies leaving behind  a Judicially separated widow  and no child or children , the family pension shall be payable to the widow .  If the judicial separation was granted  on the ground of ADULTERY  and the widow was held guilty of committing Adultery, no Family pension shall be payable.

In  a normal Divorce,  the widow shall be eligible for Family pension.  

As per  CCS Pension Rule 1972,   Sub Rule- 54  ( 11-A  and  11-B) ,

A divorced Widow  other than Adultery case, is eligible for family pension after the death of pensioner under the following conditions:

a)  If there is no Child or children  or children become In-eligible , the Family pension shall be payable to the  Divorced widow  till her death or remarriage  which ever is earlier.

b)  If the child or children are Minor,  then the divorced widow is eligible for Family pension as  a Guardian for the children.

Note:  

Here , some times the parents of the deceased , ( married pensioner) claim for family pension stating that  the widow was divorced with their son, hence no pension to her and  family pension may be granted to Mother  or father of the deceased.

This situation  is applicable only if the deceased was a bachelor  and not  in case of Married person. After marriage, all the   benefits go to spouse or children only.

All our veterans may please note the same  for reference.

VALUABLE INFORMATION TO VETERANS

   

 VERY VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

Many of the pensioners hesitate  in filing  IT returns,  but there is an important information  that shows that  filing  IT returns  has a great advantage to the families  of Pensioners at the time of any accidental death of the pensioner.  

As per section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 ( Supreme court  Judgment under civil appeal No.9858 of 1953 ),

In case, a pensioner died in an accident, his family  is entitled  to 10 times of average income of the last three years , provided he had filed the IT returns  for the last three years.

For Example: 

If the monthly pension of a pensioner  is 25000/- , then his annual income will be 25000 X 12= 3,00000/-. Average income of the last three years say  300000/-, then his family will get  10 times of 3 Lacs-   300000 X 10 = 30,00,000/- 30 Lacs  from Government .No other proof , other than IT returns will be required by the court.  So, filing of IT returns  regularly , even NIL returns by the pensioner  will go  a long way in providing a BIG  economic relief to the bereaved family of the pensioner  on his/ her death by accident.

Failure to file  IT returns  due to ignorance about this information will lead to a great loss to the family  of the pensioner .

All our ESM  associations are requested to pass on this message to our veterans in their areas.

ELIGIBILITY OF SERVICE ELEMENT AND DISABILITY ELEMENT FOR PRE 2006 BOARDED OUT VETERANS

 

Dear veteran brothers, 

We had already published the same article. Once again we are publishing the same as still some banks have not included the  service element, paying Disabilityelement only..

There was a provision for granting DISABILITY ELEMENT  only for those

 who were boarded out with less than 10 yrs of service prior to 1-1-2006..

Now, our Govt., on considering the sufferings of such veterans , has  published

  an order in 2020  for granting both Service element and Disability for such veterans

  Whether Pre  or Post 2006 invalided out veterans w.e.f  01-01-2006.

The Dept of Pension and Pension welfare has issued an order on 28-7-2020.

We understand that , still some Banks are paying only Disability element .

The Order is very clear to pay both SERVICE  ELEMENT and DISABILITY ELEMENT  to such veterans w/e/f  1-1-2006.

The affected veterans may approach  their Bank branches for getting this benefit

 or  they can approach our Trust office for guidance and help.
