To obviate this situation, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, Central Pension Accounting Office vide OM No. CPAO / Tech / Clarification / P&PW / 2014-15/ 426-497 dt. 17.09.2014 advised the Heads of all CPPCs and Government Business Departmetns to instruct all their bank branches dealing with pension payments to record the PPO numbers in all the pass book of the pensioners/ family pensioner issued by them.
However, there was no mention about applicability of above instruction to defence pensioners/family pensioners. Therefore, a clarification in this regard was sought from the Ministry, who has now advised, vide F.No. 7/124/2014-BOA dt. 23rd Aug 2016 to the CEOs of all PSBs to ensure recording of PPO numbers in the bank pass books of Defence pensioner/family pensioners.
