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.
