FOR THE ATTENTION OF PENSIONERS

                                       

Payment of Family Pension to the Spouse

The Association was recently informed that there has been some delay in payment of family pension to the spouse of a deceased pensioner. Enquiries revealed that the name of the spouse and the date of birth indicated in the PPO did not match with those found in the Aadhaar and Pan Cards. Though the name was similar in pronunciation, the spellings differed. The Adhaar and Pan cards had only the year of birth written in them whereas in the PPO, the date of birth was written with the date, month & the year. As both the name of the spouse and the date of birth as found in the PPO did not match exactly with Aadhaar/Pan,  obviously, this resulted in the Pension Disbursing Agency making some inquiries into the matter and requiring the applicant to submit some more documents  including an Affidavit, copies of Aadhaar& PAN Card etc.

  All the Pensioners, may, therefore, ensure that the name and date of birth of their spouse are correctly entered both in the PPO and in all other documents viz. Aadhaar, Pan Card etc. that are required to be submitted along with the application for family pension by the spouse, which would facilitate timely payment of family pension to the spouse and without any hassles.
