Office Memorandum
Sub:
Simplification 'If' pension procedure-submission of undertaking by retiring
Government servAnt along with pension papers
"The Stheme for Payment of pensions to Central Government Civil Pen~ioners lhrough
Authorized BaTIks" issued by CPAO provides for an undertaKing of recovery of overpayment to
be submitted by the retiring Governmentservant!pensioner to the pension disbursing bank before
commencement of pel!Sion. Del~yed Submission of this undertaking has been a main reason in
crediting the firsl payment of pension to the pensioners ace·ounl.
In order to simplity the pension procedure and consequent upon toe dclinking of
commencement of pension with the first time identification of the pensioner by bank, Ihe
Department of Pension &'Pelll'ioners' Welfare has approved the submission of undertaking by the
retiring Government servill1taiong with pension papers before hisretiremenl.
NOIv. the required undertaking may be obtained by the Head of Ornee from the retiring
Gov<fnment servant along with Form 5 and other documents before his retirement and forw"rded
the same to Pay and Accounts Ornee along with perisitm case for onward transmission to bank
through CPAO. The undertaking shall be addressed 10 the Branch Manager of the Pension
Acc.ount Holding Branch and in the prescribed fannat (copy enclosed)
These il1struct;ons were earlier issued by Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare
,ide their OM dated 7'" May. 2(114 and CPAO vide its OM dated 28"' May, 2014(available on
CPAO< website). B~t it has been npticed that Head of theOm""s and Pay and Accounts Offices
are not even awareaf these instructions so far. Conseqoently, these instructions are not being
impkmenled and the main reason of delay in first credit of pension by the banks still persists.
rilis is a matter of great COncern.
Therefore, aU Pro CCAS/CCAs'CAs are requested 10 issue directions to their PAOs for
cnmplying with the OM No. CPAOffechiSimplificatipn/2014-15/52 dated-28.05.2014 and to
ensure that all pension cases received fi'om Head of Offices are supported with undertaking of
recovery of overpayment aod the same is invariably forwarded to CPAO as a pari ofPPO booklet
for onward transmission 10 CPPCoflhe bank. All authprization sections in CPAO have already
been directed nOI to accept any pension case for authorization
pensiol1 payrnent received
without the undertaking.
