Sub: Procedure for migration of NPS pensioners on death/disability of Government Servants- reg.
The undersigned is directed to forward herewith a copy of the guidelines issued by O/o CGA vide UO No. TA-3-07001/2/2021-TA-CGA/cs-5365/342 dated 17.09.2025 on the above subject. All Central Pension Processing Centres (CPPCs) of authorised banks are requested to follow the guidelines and coordinate in the migration of payment of pension of NPS- Additional Relief pensioners (NPS-AR) from CPAO to concerned CPPCs.
2. As per the said guidelines, the CPAO will call back all Provisional Pension Payment Order (PPPO) Booklets from the Pension Account Holding Branches (PAHBs) through the respective CPPCs and forward the same to the concerned PAOs, along with additional relevant documents for preparation of new PPOs.
3. CPAO will shortly be sending to the CPPCs the details of NPS-AR pensioners covered under death/disability cases for migration. In this regard, CPPCs are advised to keep necessary arrangements ready so that immediate action can be taken on receipt of such details from CPAO and PPPOs can be returned to CPAO at the earliest. CPAO will then transmit the cases to the PAOs concerned for the issue of new PPOs, which will subsequently be forwarded by CPAO to the CPPCs for disbursement of pension in accordance with the guidelines.
4. All the CPPCs of all the authorised banks are therefore directed to remain fully prepared to not only to return PPOs timely but also to play their part in smooth migration of NPS-AR pensioners without disruption of payment of pension/family pension to concerned beneficiaries in line with the aforesaid guidelines. This issues with the approval of the Chief Controller (Pensions).
Encl: As above.
