Memorandum
Subject: – Simplification of Pension Procedure- Amendment in
para 15 and para 16 of “Scheme for payment of pensions to Central Govt. Civil
Pensioners by Authorised Bank”.
Attention is invited to
the provisions contained in paras 15 and 16 of the Scheme Booklet regarding
submission of life & other certificates and inter bank /intra bank transfer
of pension Account.
2. Keeping in view the
need to make the process of submission of certificates user friendly and in
line with the technological advancement in the banking industry, it has been
decided to allow pensioner/family pensioner to submit the life certificate as
well as other certificates to any branch of the Bank through which his /her
pension/family pension is being disbursed.
3. Further with the
introduction of CBS and implementation of CPPC, the pensioner/family pensioner
who is desirous of transferring his/her pension account from one branch to
another branch (whether local or out station) of the same bank should has the
option of putting in his/her request at either of the two branches instead of
the present dispensation wherein transfer request is entertained only at the
home branch. The transfer application will require mentioning both account
numbers (in the old & new branch) with both branch contact details. The
branch receiving the application will scan and register the same to CPPC. CPPC
will coordinate the continuity of disbursement of monthly pension/family
pension without any break.

directed to follow the above procedural modifications in pension process and
issue necessary instructions to all concerned accordingly.
5. This issues with the
