OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub:- Stoppage of use of abbreviations in the name of Pensioner/Family Pensioner in Fresh & Revision Special Seal Authorities and PPOs- reg.
Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO) has been receiving various cases regarding clarification in the name of pensioner/family pensioner. Where instead of using full details/name of pensioner/family pensioner, the abbreviations are being used, which result in mismatch in the details/name of concerned individual and cause hardship to CPAO and PDA in authorizing and disbursing the pension/family pension. This problem arises due to abbreviations used by PAO, leading to mismatch of data in PPO/SSA/Bank account and other documentary records. To avoid mismatching of data, PAOs need to mention full name/details of pensioner/family pensioner in PPO and revision authority as per service records only and no abbreviation should be used.
2. In view of above, all the Pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAs/AGs are requested to issue instructions to PAOs under their control to follow the above mentioned instructions for smooth disbursement of pension/family pension.
This issues with the approval of the Chief Controller (Pensions).

COMMENTS
Each such loop hole is a potential opportunity for harassing the individual by the bank staff n may lead to corruption. Case needs urgent examination.
I wonder what for the name of NOMINEE is included in the DB account of family pensioner in SBI. Here the case in hand is nominee of a family pensioner informed CPPC of that branch for non crediting of three days family pension due to the pensioner who was live from 1st of December to 4th December. The information regarding the death of pensioner was informed to the bank . The CPPC did not credit the pension for the three days and when informed of the said deficiency the bank is asking for LEGAL HEIR CERTIFICATE from the nominee whose name is recorded in the bank. Here the moot question is information on non payment for three is is brought to the notice of SBI CPPC they are asking for LHC.
HERE IF BANK IS CORRECT FOR ASKING LHC FROM NOMINEE FOR CREDITING DUES THEN ITS HIGH TIME THAT RBI ANS OTHER BANKS SHOULD AMEND THE RULES AND MAKE INCLUSION OF LEGAL HEIR NAME INTESD OF NOMINEE IN ALL BANK ACCOUNTS. Further RBI AND SBI SHOULD GIVE CLARIFICATION ON THE ABOVE THROUGH THIS COLUMN SO THAT NO FURTHER NOMINEE SHOULD FACE SUCH HARASSMENT FROM BANK.
Please check up the pensioner was got the usual basic full pension for the death occurred during the month December. As per rule the pensioner should get full basic pension on the death of full month. Nominee will get only from the next month onwards after the death of the pensioner. (From January) in this case. Why you are included the nominees name on 5th December, it should be recorded in service record from where the pensioner got the salary of the ex-employer.
