IMPORTANCE OF HAVING JOINT ACCOUNT WITH SPOUSE FOR PENSION.

 


                                         WORRIED  WIDOW - NO JOINT ACCOUNT

We had, Time and again  advised our veterans  to convert the existing Pension account in to JOINT ACCOUNT  with their spouse .

For  this , JOINT NOTIFICATION  should have been published.

Now, for the last few months , more than 3 veterans have died. All of them  were having  only SINGLE account.

Though the JOINT  NOTIFICATION  was there,  due to this single a/c , their SPOUSE  have to open,   Bank account  for the credit of their pension.  Here, they have to establish the genuineness, that is , wife of so and so.

More over, they have  to submit Documents  like Form 14, Non-Marriage certificate, Widowhood,  Declaration, Descriptive Roll, Aadhar and PAN card  etc.

 

If there had been Joint account, only a written  intimation along with death certificate will be enough to  change over to Family pension.

Now, the poor WIDOW  has to run,  pillar to post  for getting her pension.

 

It may take more than 3 months time to get the pension  and the widow has to face the financial hardship  for running the  family.

 

All our Ex-Servicemen Associations are once requested to  advise  our veterans in their areas  suitably  to have JOINT ACCOUNT  with their spouse.

ALAS !- PCDA HAS TAKEN 11 YEARS TO ISSUE CORR PPO FOR POST 2006 RETIREES--HONY.NB.SUB

         


PCDA cir 415 dated 22-7-2009 says, the Post 2006 retirees –Hony.Nb.Subedar’s  will be paid pension for the Rank of Regular Nb.subedar  w.e.f 1-1-2006.

There are so many such Hony.Nb.Subs whose pension is not revised even after , say 12ys after the issue of circular.

 

We had represented  4 such cases  to Record Offices and PCDA for issuance of  Revised PPO.

The joint venture of Record Office and PCDA has issued one Corr PPO to one of our  4 cases now.

i.e   Name: S.Shanmugam,  Hony.Nb.Sub- (2586474X) Gp-Y  QS: 24 yrs .RO.MRC.

Date of discharge: 30-9-2007-  PPO.No; S/CORR/ 023462/2008.

 

Circular 415 was issued  in 2009 and corr PPO issued in  2020…after 11yrs.

In our opinion, the delay may be due to:

1.     There is no TIME LIMIT   and  no Accountability  fixed  for issuing revised PPO

2.     The affected veterans are not that aware of their benefit  and not approaching the  Authorities i.e Record Offices and PCDA  for timely revision with reference to Ciculars 415, 584 and 634 and  566

3.     As the revision is so delayed, Some of the veterans may DIE  and their widows may not know this benefit and this matter/ issue  also may DIE

4.     This unclaimed amount will be a benefit to the Government.

5.     The benefit of CDA cir 631 is also sailing in the MID sea, . Only the Litigant are being paid pension beyond 30-6-2014.

We hope that the Authorities will consider  our sincere feedback  and ill feelings  and take  speedy /corrective measures in this issue.

 

All our ESM Associations and Organisations are requested to guide and help such affected  Hony.Nb.Subs in their areas to get their pension revised..
