There is no response on telephone numbers of Delhi.
Please guide whom to approach. When my first installment released. This is applicable for all those holding account in the BOB.

The bank in reference here is ” Central Bank of India”
Are the Banks submitting / furnishing any STATUS report of release of One Rank One Pension arrears and subsequent revised Pension? (Arrears Paid Vs Arrears Pending Report and likely Date of completion of Task)
Is anybody aware of as to what is the reason for this DELAY?
