To,
———————————– ———————————– (All Head of Department under Min. of Defence)
Sub:- Timely processing of pension and issue of PPOs to Defence Civilian Personnel.
As per direction of competent authority after implementation of project SPARSH, all types of claims of pensionary awards (viz. Service, Family and Disability Pension) to Defence Civilian Personnel are being processed through SPARSH only w.e.f. 01.08.2021.
2. In this regard, Ministry of Defence has conveyed that due to Non-adherence of timeline for processing of pension papers and non-issuance of PPOs in time creates further delays in sanction of retirement dues and other pensionary awards. The delay in issuance of PPO and further retirement entitlements cause unnecessary agony and hardship to the individuals and their families. This situation sometimes forces the individuals to float grievances or file litigations.
3. In view of the above, it is stressed upon to all concerned for timely submission of all types of claims to this office through SPARSH for timely notification of PPOs well in advance of their superannuation to avoid further delays. Moreover, for death in service cases, efforts may be made to obtain all necessary documents from the NOK promptly, so as to initiate family case on SPARSH within one week on death to avoid any delay.
4. A copy of this circular is also available on the website of this office www.pcdapension.nic.in.

Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg New Delhi-110001 Dated -07-02-2022
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: – Extension of departmental facilities and Conferences at all levels – reg.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM of even No. dated 24-11-2021, on the subject mentioned above and to convey that references have been received from Service Associations and Federations that it would be very difficult to conduct All India Conference (AIC) by 31-03-2022 in view of Omicron and consequent restrictions in different states
2. The request has been examined and it has been decided that conferences at all levels in respect of recognized Service Associations (as per 2015 verifications and one GDS Association i.e. AIGDSU as per 2011 verification) are extended for a period of three months beyond 31-03-2022 .i.e. till 30-06-2022 or until further orders whichever is earlier.
3. The conferences at all levels in respect of non-recognized Service Associations under BPEF are also extended for a period of three months beyond 31-03-2022 i.e. till 30-06-2022 or until further orders whichever is earlier.
4. All the service associations will further ensure that Al India Conference will be concluded immediately after the restrictions are removed by the State Governments, so that the question of further extension should not arise.
In context of Board’s letter cited above, references have been received in Board’s office from some of the Zonal Railways, seeking clarifications regarding entitlement of National Holiday Allowance (NHA) to those non-gazetted employees who are getting higher pay level beyond level-8 under MACPS. This issue has also been raised in PNM Forum by AIRF as item No. 11/2018 and by NFIR as item No. 11/2018.
2. The matter has been examined in Board’s Office. MACPS provides for grant of financial upgradation to employees on personal basis and the concerned employees continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of their substantive post. In view of this, it is clarified that National Holiday Allowance (NHA) may be granted to those eligible non-gazetted employees who are getting higher pay level beyond level-8 under MACPS, at the rates prescribed for the substantive post held by them.
3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
4. This disposes of NWR’s letter No. 600-3/19/2020 dated 23/03/2021.
