Dear Sir,
When I was with Lt Col Ranjan Kumar in PCDA(Pensions) Prayagraj on 30 & 31 Aug, he asked me to give few advices to all those who are migrated to SPARSH.
- Never give your user id and password to unknown persons. You have to give them to Col Veterans or Record Office or DPDO or SBI bank nominated as SPARSH Nodal Centre to upload your documents. But not to any computer shop or cyber cafe etc. A simpleton from a remote village gave his user id and password, he got from SPARSH, to a cyber cafe. Thereafter he found he was not getting his pension for few months from SPARSH. He lodged a complaint through Col Veterans to SPARSH. Then it was found the cyber cafe guy managed to get the bank account Number changed and the pension of Ex- Serviceman was going to some other Bank Account.
Finally the pension got restored and the Ex- Serviceman lost the pension of a few months. It was not possible for SPARSH to recover from the culprit who stole the pension of the Ex-Serviceman for few months. Then it becomes a police case. - The Fixed Medical Allowance granted to pre – 2003 pensioners has to be stopped if they wish to join ECHS. The stoppage has to be done through Regimental centres (for JCOs /OR or their widows) or MP- 5/NAVPEN / DAV ( for officers and single ladies).
Warm regards & respects.
