Attention is invited to CPAO’s 0M No.
CPAo/Tech/Simplification/2012-13/325 dated-18.02.2013 on the above
subject whereby it was decided to submit the life certificate to any
branch of the authorized bank through which pension of pensioners/family
pensioners is being disbursed. Format of acknowledgement to be given by
the Life Certificates receiving branch to the pensioner/family
pensioner was circulated vide this office OM No.CPAO/lT&Tech/Scheme
Booklet/2015-16/1666 dated-16.10.2015 which was reiterated vide OM
No.CPA0/lT&Tech/Jeevan Pramaan/2015-16/ 1680 dated-09.11.2 015.
But, it is observed that bank branches
are still not providing the acknowledgement of Life Certificate to the
pensioners/family pensioners. Moreover, it has been observed that they
do not forward the same to their CPPCs, resulting in stoppage of
pension/ family pension which causes undue financial hardship to the
pensioners/ family pensioners.
In view of the above, Heads of CPPCs and
Heads of Government Business Divisions of all the authorized banks are
requested to issue necessary instructions to all their branches to
provide the acknowledgement of Life Certificate to the pensioner/family
pensioner without fail and forward the same to the concerned CPPCs for
necessary action.
