Office Memorandum
Subject: Modified Format-F for Capturing Change Information-reg.
The undersigned is directed to refer to the subject cited above and state that under the e-scroll system, several formats have been devised for capturing data from banks relating to pension payment. Format-‘F’ is required to be submitted by banks for capturing changed information of pensioners such as change of category of pensioner from ‘A’ to ‘B’ on death of a pensioner; transfer of pension account from one bank to another, etc. However, it is observed that banks are not submitting the Format – F as an intimation to CPAO on the occurence of such events. This breaks the seamless flow of information & updates to key stakeholders i.e. СРАО, PAOs & Admin Ministries.
It has been decided by the Competent Authority to revise the Format-‘F’ to include additional information such as commencement and discontinuation of FMA and to remove certain fields that are no longer relevant (e.g. cheque number, cheque amount etc.). Accordingly a new Format ‘F’ has been drafted and the modifications are as under:
- Deleted Scroll No. and Scroll Date, as this information need not be linked with the e-Scroll.
- Deleted the Change Type field, as banks were finding it difficult to codify change information under the existing codes. Instead, separate columns have been created corresponding to these codes.
In view of above, CPPCs of Authorized Banks are hereby directed to update Format-‘F’ to furnish such changed information to CPAO in this format alongwith the payment scrolls. Data in Format-‘F’ should be submitted monthly (i.e. one file per CPPC per month).Revised Format- ‘F’ and its Workflow has been annexed herewith for information and strict compliance.
This issues with the approval of the Chief Controller (Pensions).
