Office Memorandum

Subject: Payment of Pension/Family Pension in respect of NPS subscribers as per Department of

Pension & Pensioner's Welfare Notification dated 30th March, 2021 -reg.

Reference is invited to this office O.M. No. CPAO/IT&Tech/NPS to OPS/22Vol-V/E-12612/2024-

25/172 dated 18.12.2023 (copy enclosed) wherein it was intimated that all pension/family pension cases of NPS pensioners shall be processed in the same manner as OPS pension cases.

2.However, it has been observed that while submitting such cases to CPAO, few PAOs have not

followed the guidelines in submission of NPS cases as OPS cases. To be more specific, it has been

noticed that three (03) copies of Provisional PPOs (used earlier for submission of NPS cases to

CPAO) have been submitted by PAOs, while submitting NPS cases as OPS cases whereas only two (02) copies of PPO Booklets (Pensioner Portion & Disburser Portion) should be submitted alongwith cases to CPAO.

3. In view of the above, all the Pr. CCAS/CCAS/CAS (with independent charge)/AGs are requested to

instruct the PAOs under their control to strictly adhere the guidelines issued in the previous OM

dated 18.12.2023 by CPAO. Similarly, all the CPPCs of the authorised Banks are also requested to

go through the O.M.s issued by this office and subsequent orders in this regard and act accordingly.

This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.
