Subject :- Status of forthcoming retirees in your organisation.
As already intimated earlier that all the organizations of Defence Civilian have been onboarded on SPARSH and most of them have successfully logged in to SPARSH (System for Pension Administration (Raksha). Therefore, all the pension claims of Defence Civilians are to be processed through SPARSH only as old legacy system of sanctioning of pension has been stopped. Accordingly, SPARSH Circular No.05 dated 24.08.2021 may be treated as โCancelledโ.
In order to ensure timely sanctioning of pension to retirees, it is requested to process the pension claims well in advance through SPARSH for notification of PPO to the pensioners. Further, to assess the number of forthcoming retirees, it is requested to forward the data of employees who are going to retire in next 6 months in the attached Annexure-A at the earliest.
