Based on the recommendations received from UPSC, candidates are given offer of appointment. Pending recommendations from UPSC, concerned units are permitted to make contractual appointments against the vacant posts, as a stop-gap arrangement, in public interest, till the time regular incumbent joins the post.

The rest of the vacant posts other than the doctors are filled as per the requirement of the respective Hospitals in terms of Recruitment Rules on regular basis, through contractual appointment as a stop-gap arrangement and on outsource basis on the basis of approval received from the Ministry.

The Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Sh Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha here today.

Dy.CDA (P)

Annexure-A

1 Hardcopies of claims are being received without softcopy in CD.

2 A number of claims (Hardcopies) are being received alongwith scanned image/pdf of LPC instead of M S Access utility.

3 Few Head of the offices are forwarding M S Access utility alongwith only scanned image/pdf of LPC only. No hardcopies are being received.

4 Hardcopy-softcopy record mismatch- The major problem is being faced in uploading of data into system due to the reasons that softcopy contains more number of records than for which hardcopies received in that particular batch and it is difficult to reconcile records before uploading into the system for processing.

5 CD containing soft-copy are not being received in CD mailer resulting into number of CDs received as broken in this office.

6 M S Access utility containing only single record in each utility and each CD are being received instead of all the records in one/two utility. For example:- One Head of the office has sent 21 claims alongwith 21 CDs i.e. one CD against each claim.

7 Claims are being received without obtaining HOO code.

8 Last pay and retiring pay scale are not being entered into LPC-Cum-Datasheet corresponding to pay commission when individual retired in Pay Detail portion.

9 Instead of claims in one or two batch; piecemeal batches containing only 10-15 records are being received.

10. During uploading, it has been observed that structure of fields in MS Access Utility provided by this office has been modified by HOOs at their own, which results into in-correct uploading of data into the system, Hence, it is requested to not to temper/modify fields/structure of the Utility provided to you by this office.

11. Claims are being forwarded in piece meal batches, it is therefore requested to forward the batch containing at least 100 cases.

Ref: This office Circular No. C-169, bearing no. G1/C/0199/Vol-I/Tech dated 11/07/2017.

Attention is invited to para-6 of the above cited circular wherein all Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) were advised to carry out immediate modification in the format of e-scroll by inserting new column 36 & 37 in order to provide 16 digit new PPO number (including suffix of 4 digits) and 15 digits Pensioners ID if available.

2. A number of queries have been received from various PDAs regarding implementation of para-6 of above mentioned circular. Therefore, following amendments are being issued for guidance of PDAs:-

a. The 16 digit new PPO number (including 4 digit PPO suffix) notified by this office in respect of new retirees i.e. in whose case PPO has been issued after October 2017and 16 digit New PPO No. has been assigned as original PPO No. will invariably be mentioned in existing field i.e.“full PPO no.” (field no. 6D) of e-scroll. Field 6A, 6B and 6C may be left blank.

b. The 16 digit new PPO number notified for revision of pension as per 7th CPC for Civil Pensioners/Family Pensioners may be provided in new field i.e. column no. 36 of e-scroll. However, if PDA is feeling any difficulty in changing e-scroll format for providing revised new PPO number in new field (field no. 36) or Pensioners ID in new field (field No.37), PDAs may continue to submit e-scroll without this change for the time being.

c. The 15th & 16th digit of the PPO number in respect of new retirees as explained above indicates number of corrigendum PPOs issued in respect of any pensioner. If there is “00” at 15th &16th place of new PPO number, it indicates original PPO, whereas 01 onwards indicates number of the corrigendum PPOs. All PDAs will provide original PPO no. in e-scroll but same will be updated with revised corrigendum PPOs whenever any corrigendum PPO is acted upon by the PDA in respect of any Defence Pensioner. For example, if the PPO number is ‘401201700012’ and the PPO suffix field ‘0105’ which has been acted upon, then in the field 6D of e-scroll, PPO No. should be mentioned in 16 digit ‘4012017000120105’ instead of 12 digit PPO number ‘401201700012’.

2. All other paragraphs of the ibid circular will remain unchanged and effective as earlier. This is applicable for all type of pensioners i.e. Defence Civilian and Army/AF/Navy pensioners and their families.
