OFFICE MEMORANDUM 

Attention is invited to para 4.5 of CPPC Guidelines which states that the CPPC will receive Government Orders and disseminate the same to all concerned agencies for necessary action. The CPPC should have direct access to the websites of the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Consumer Affairs so that these are regularly browsed and orders on dearness relief issued by various Departments are acted upon immediately. At the time of credit afforded at CPPC, a confirmation report must be generated and monitored at CPPC to ensure that the pension/family pension etc. in respect of all pensioners of the CPPC have been credited.

2. But during the Awareness Programme on the Pensioners Portal organized by the DPPW under the Chairmanship of Secretary (DOPPW) on 7th December, 2013 at Kolkata, some pensioners raised the issue of inordinate delay in the payment of DR/IDR by Banks, particularly by UCO Bank, Bank of India, Allahabad Bank. It indicates the slackness of the CPPC in providing the services to the satisfaction of the pensioners.

3. In view of the above, all CPPCs are hereby instructed once again to be more attentive towards the timely payment of all dues to pensioners and ensure that no such complaint is received in future.
