DISPENSING WITH BSR CODE IN PENSION CLAIM APPLICATION

     

                          

Dear Veteran Bothers,

We all know  that , in every Pension Claims  or Pension related applications, there is one annexure  for  Bank details.   In that,they require  BSR code of the Bank branch.

Many of us are not knowing the BSR code,  only IFSC code and MICR code  is printed in the Pass Book.  Hence , we leave the column unfilled.

Due to this difficulty ,  the GOI , Pension & Pension Welfare Dept.  has published  one Memorandum  for DISPENSING  BSR CODE.

 Now, we need not worry  about BSR code.  Leave it blank.

All our ESM Associations and Orgs may  guide our veterans  in their area.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:Dispensing with the requirement ofBSR code of bank from the pension claim forms****

*While submitting pension claim form, a retiree or family member has to provide the detail of his/her bank account, IFSC and BSR code of concerned bank branch. This Department has received many representations from retirees to dispense with the requirement of BSR codes from pension claim form as it is neither written in the passbook nor available on the website of concerned bank. In order to get information of the BSR code, sometimes a retiree has to make multiple visitsto the concerned bank branch.

2.Therefore in order to avoid hardship of retiree and family members, it has been decided to dispense with the requirement of BSR code for processing all type pension cases with immediate effect. Henceforth a retiree or family pensioner will not be required to provide detail of BSR codewhile submitting form 5 or form 14. Only the bank account detail along with IFSC will be taken for processing the pension claim.

 3.The Administrative Divisions of all Ministries/Department and attached/subordinate offices are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned for compliance.

 This issues with the approval of the competent authority.(Rajesh Kumar)Under Secretary to the Government of IndiaTel No. 233101
