SPARSH has been successfully implemented by the defence pension department and most of the defence pensioners have been migrated to this new pension system. This system ensures the correctness and hassle free disbursement and grievance redressal regarding pension matters of defence pensioners with 100% accuracy within a reasonable timeframe. Bank CPPC will be no more responsible for disbursement of pension for the Defence pensioners. Within a few months all the defence pensioners will be migrated to SPARSH system. At present more than 60% users have already been migrated to this new system. Unlike previous, Bank will play the roll of only just holding a savings account in which PCDA will credit your pension amount every month. So, your pension will be credited in the same bank acct but you should report any pension matter directly to the PCDA pension through SPARSH System..
