Dated: 12.5.2021

All Public Sector Banks disbursing Rly Pension

Sub:- Commencement of Pension Payment to Railway Pensioners.

Ref:- Ministry of Railways Letter of even no. dated 20.4.2020.

Ministry of Railways, vide letter ibid. has advised all Public Sector Banks disbursing Railway Pension to make suitable arrangements for commencement of pension payment to Railway pensioners (who retired from service on or after 31.03.2020) based on e-PPOs (without waiting for physical copies), in view of the lock down imposed to contain the spread of COWVID-19 (copy enclosed). In this regard, one of the Zonal Railways has brought to the notice of this Ministry that some of the PSBs are insisting upon physical copy of the PPO (along with attachments in physical form). This is rendering undue delay in commencement of pension payment. 

Since lock-down has been imposed in many of the States to contain the Second-wave of Covide-19, physical movement of the PPOs and its attachments is not feasible. It is, therefore, requested that pension payment may be commenced based on e-PPOs being sent to the CPPCs, as was being done earlier, so that pensioners do not suffer on this account. Physical copies of these, PPOs shall be sent to the designated Bank Branches as soon as normalcy is restored.

DA:As above
