This Department itself has made sincere effortstowards simplification of rules and procedures for payment of pension and sanctionof these payments. Streamlining the procedure has helped both the pensioners andthe implementing agencies. The list of recent changes has been provided on theDepartment's website. However, all these have been possible only because of thedynamic leadership provided by the Hon'ble Minister, who has directed that no stoneshould be left unturned for the benefit of the pensioners.

i) 51.No. 1of ATR of para 5:

Status of issue of revised PPOs to pre-2006 pensioners.

While the target date for completion of this work for CPAD, Railways, Posts was 31st

March, 2013, the status and further course of action was as follows:

Page 1 of 8

a) CPAO informed that as on 08.08.2013, 71,334 cases (34,733 pre-1990 and 36,601pre-2006), of Civil MinistriesjDeptts, are pending for revision. Approximately, 82% work ofCivil Ministries/ Departments have been completed. The major reason for non-revision ofthe remaining cases by Ministries/Departments are non-availability of records of thepensioners in CPAO, Ministries/Departments and Banks. Efforts are also made to approachthe pensioners through advertisements, however, as pension has already been revised bythe banks, response from pensioners was not encouraging.

To strengthen the monitoring at the level of the Secretary of the administrativeMin/Deptt, this item has been made a part of the monthly D.O to the Cabinet Secretary.

Target date: - 31st December,2013.

b) Ministry of Railways informed that they have completed the revision of 5,87,035 outof 10,93,772 cases and due to non-availability of complete information from thepensioners, they are not able to revise the remaining PPOsfor which they have asked thebanks to help them. They have also issued fresh instructions in May, 2013 that the PPOsmay be revised suo-moto and the revised deadline is December 2013. These cases areclosely monitored by the Ministry of Railways. Hon'ble MOS (PP) desired that the Ministry ofRailways should give advertisements in concerned regional languages. MOS(PP) will takeup the issue with the Railway Minister, dernl-offlclally.

Target date: - 31st December,2013.

c) Department of Posts informed that the after re-verification the number of pre-2006pensioners have come down to 1,96,000 and now the DOP has completed 84.78% of thework. 29,855 cases are pending which will be covered by 30th November, 2013. The DOPare going through a transition from non digitisation to digitisation form, and theDepartment has already started ERP solution, by putting all the legacy data into ERPsolution.

Target date: - 30th November, 2013.

d) Department of Telecommunication informed that as on date 53,000 cases remain tobe revised. The main problem was that DOT has to depend on BSNL for the records. TheSecretary of DOT will address all heads of circles of BSNL to expedite the cases byconstituting a Coordination Committee at each CCA. As per their plan of action the DOT willbe able to wipe out pending cases by 31st March, 2014. To enable this 31st December,2013 has been kept as a target date for BSNL to provide all the documents relating to it.

Target date: - 31st March, 2014.

e) Ministry of Defence informed that they have started issuing corrigendum PPOs.Corrigendum PPOs could not be issued by the concerned Pension Sanctioning Authorities

Page 2 of 8

(PSAs) for want of computerised data. There was some mismatch in data between thePSAs and with the PDAs. It has been reported that the records in respect of Post 2006pensioners have since been computerised and database exists for 4.5 lac pensioners(approx.). Digital records of 5.88 lac pensioners have also been created in respect of pre2006 pensioners under Project SANGAM so far. Implementation of the Cabinet decision ofSeptember 2012 regarding enhancement of pension was a priority and the entireentitlement had to be revised again. MOD has set a target of issuing around 1 lac PPOsevery month. Further since the orders issued in this regard did not include all categories ofinvalid penstoners, the file had to be moved again for amending the orders. The file is stillwith the Defence/Finance. MOS(PP) directed that a reference demi-officially from him tothe Defence Minister may be sent.

While the digitisation of pension data will be completed by 31st March, 2014, therevision exercise for all cases is proposed to be completed by September, 2014.
