E-Pension Payment Order – New Step in the Right Direction
Furthering the Digital India-initiatives of Govt. of India, Principal Controller of Defence Accounts(Pensions), Allahabad has startedissuance of electronic-Pension Payment Orders (e-PPOs) to the pensioners along with their Pension Disbursement Agencies viz., Banks, Defence Pension Disbursement Offices, Post Offices, etc. What began in the first phase, for all Commissioned Officers and JCOs/ORs of Armed Forces from the month of October 2017, has now been extended to all defence pensioners including defence civilians.
Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Pensions), Allahabad is the sole agency under Ministry of Defence which sanctions Pensions for the Defence Services viz., Army, Coast Guard, Defence Research and Development Organization,General Reserve Engineer Force, Border Roads Organization, Military Engineering Services and other Defence organisations including Defence Account Department and Defence Civilians.
The shift from manual system to e-PPO system is expected to minimize delays in pension disbursement and further revision as and when needed. This initiative also eliminates the occurrence of human errors in data entry at multiple levels.
The next big step in this direction would be digitizing pension documents received from 46 record offices and more than 2900 Heads of Offices. This initiative by PCDA (P) will facilitate better implementation of OROP.

I FULLY AGREE & ENDORSE THIS STATEMENT.
But this is our expectation only. Of course, the system & mechanism will not make errors. In reality who is feeding or making the inputs to the machine –The so-called HUMAN only!!!! Is there any mechanism to instill responsibility and change their attitude & Lethargic mind-set and fix the accountability on erring human on the basis of mistakes on the output . Is there any measure to monitor or any mechanism to make them accountable for the praise or prick on the basis of outputs.
Think it over !!!!
