PCDA (O) Pune Implements New Format for Letter Addressing
The Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Officers) in Pune has introduced new guidelines for addressing letters to their office due to the daily influx of 5000 letters they receive. The new guidelines require Army Officers to write one of four wings on the envelope and use separate envelopes for each wing to reduce segregation time and facilitate faster processing of claims and letters. The new format has been approached to the postal authorities for implementation.

The office of PCDA (O), Golibar Maidan, Pune has the mandate for handling the Pay and Allowances in respect of all the Commissioned Officers of India Army.
This office currently receives 5000 Dak on daily basis. In order to segregate such a huge quantity of daily Dak, it takes substantial effort to clear the Dak, which leads to delay in segregation and further processing of Dak and adjustment of claims of Army Officers.
It is therefore requested to forward all your Letters/claims by clearly writing on the envelope one of the following four wings mentioned below.
| Sl. No. | Wing | Description | Annexure (List of Subjects) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ledger Wing | Service and pay related | Annexure A (Click for details) |
| 2 | Transport Wing | TA/DA/LTC related | Annexure B (click for details) |
| 3 | Post Superannuation Cell (PSC) |
After Retirement related | |
| 4 | Central Wing | Any other subject except above three | Annexure C (click for details) |
It is further requested to use separate envelopes for separate wings. All different envelop can be put into one large envelop, if more than one envelop is to be sent. It will reduce segregation time for such a huge inflow of Dak and help in faster processing claims and letters at the office of PCDA(O). Accordingly this office has already approached Postal Authorities for segregation of Posts in format described above.
