Veterans of all three Services have been enquiring about the digital pay pension orders (e-PPO) and its connected details.
The PCDA(P) website carries all the details about the issuance of these new PPOs for everyone.
The e-PPO is essentially a pensioner’s pay pension order in a digital format. The numbering of these PPOs will be unique for their traceability. As soon as ready, these will be sent to the email or a postal address available in a pensioner’s records. These will incorporate all the corrections in pensions till a latest cut-off date.
The DAV has clarified that the e-PPOs for the IAF pensioners are being prepared at the PCDA(AF) and the pensioners will receive their own PPO as and when ready. People would recall that all pensioners were asked by the DAV many months ago, to submit certain details and most of the pensioners had complied with. Please do look up the IAF pensioners’ website for this purpose.
It is expected that new ePPOs will incorporate all the enhancements that the pensioners are entitled to receive after the 7th pay commission.
The PDAs will be automatically informed for their records and disbursal of corrected pensions and payment of arrears, if any.
The retirement documents would also be digitized in due course.
The pensioners are not required to do anything except await their new ‘ePPO’ in their email inbox. It will take a while though. Till then the present PPO along with its Corrigendum is good for receiving pensions and all other purposes.
