Subject : First Credit of pension on the basis of e-PPO into the account of the pensioner/family pensioner followed by subsequent verification with physical PPOs – Regarding
It has been observed that the first credit of pension into the account of pensioner/family pensioner is delayed as the CPPCs of Banks await the receipt of the physical PPO for verification before starting the payment of benefits. The delay in crediting of pension to the pensioner’s account due to this has been causing undue hardship to pensioners.
2. With a view to streamline the process to expedite the payment of first credit, all the Heads of the CPPCs of Authorised Banks are hereby directed to ensure that the credit of the first pension into the account of pensioner/family pensioner is carried out immediately on the basis of e-PPO and e-SSA received from the CPAO. The physical PPO booklet and related documents will continue to be sent to CPPCs until further orders. On receipt of the same, the CPPC of Banks will verify the details and if any differences are found between the e-PPO and manual PPO, the same should be intimated to CCP, CPAO within a month for necessary corrective action.
3. It may also be ensured that the e-Scroll for all payments of pension made is submitted the Same day to CPAO while intimating RBI.
4. The order shall come into effect from the date of issue of this OM

In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Centre had frozen the three additional instalments of the DA and DR which were due from January 1, 2020, July 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021.
The Government has decided to increase the Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners with effect from 01.07.2021 to 28% representing an increase of 11% over the existing rate of 17% of the Basic Pay/Pension,” a release stated.
As we all know that under 7th CPC the minimum Grade Pay of a Level-1 employee is GP 1800 and his basic salary ranges from Rs 18,000 to Rs 56,900, the minimum loss for Level-1 employee is around Rs 11,880 since Jan 2020 to June 2021.
How much central government employees will lose if they don’t get arrears
Employees lost a significant amount due to the DA Freeze. Instead of saying loss we can say this is for Covid Relief Contribution. To get an idea of how much an employee contributed for COVID-19, check the DA Loss Calculator
Central Government Employees have a number of allowances that are attached to their salaries. One of the important allowance for Government Employees is the House Rent Allowance (HRA) which is provided under the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) rules. Here are some very important facts about 7th Pay Commission allowance:
The HRA entitlement depends upon the city that the central government employee resides in. The government has classified cities/towns in three categories namely X, Y and Z. For all central government employees residing in X category city, the rate of HRA per month as a percentage of basic salary will be 24 per cent. For employees living in Y and Z categories the rate of HRA per month as a percentage of basic salary will be 16 per cent and 8 per cent respectively.
As per the 7th Pay Commission recommendation the admissibility of House Rent Allowance (HRA) shall be as under
Classification of Cities/Towns
Rate of House Rent Allowance per month as a percentage of Basic Pay only
X
24%
Y
16%
Z
8%
The rates of HRA will not be less than Rs.5400, Rs. 3600 and 1800 at X, Y & Z class cities respectively.
Finance Ministry released the Office Memorandum No.2/5/2017-E.II(B) dated 7th July, 2017, in the said memorandum it has mentioned that HRA amount for all employees living in either of the X, Y and Z categories will also be subject to revision if the Dearness Allowance (DA) crosses 25 per cent as per the rules laid down in a government notification. If DA exceeds 25 per cent, the new HRA will become 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent. This will further be increased to 30 per cent , 20 per cent and 10 per cent of your DA crosses 50 per cent.
Now DA crossed 25%, i.e Central Government hiked dearness allowance to 28% for Central Government Employees, as per the Finance Ministry OM dated 7th July 2017, HRA will become 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent for Central Govt Employees.
