The identity of pensioner/family pensioner has already been established at the time of first payment pension. Record Offices are requested not to forward the hard copy of Corrigendum e-PPO to the Banks and DPDOs where e-PPO has already been transmitted by concerned PSAs through SFTP mode directly Banks and DPDOs is to act upon the Corrigendum e-PPO received SFTP mode without confirmation from RO/Army HQs whereas rest of the PDAs will act upon on the basis of the copy of Corrigendum e-PPO as per the practice in vogue. ROs are forwarding the descriptive roll to the concerned paying branch of the pensioner whereas descriptive roll is to be forwarded to the concerned CPPC of the pensioner instead of concerned paying branch which causes delay during the first payment of pension. Therefore ROs is to forward the descriptive roll along with e-PPO and undertaking for 1st payment as mentioned in Circular No. 606 dated 24 Sep 2018 to the concerned CPPC of the pensioner. All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.
