Since most of the data of pensioners/family pensioners have been migrated in SPARSH application, therefore, revision of pension of migrated pensioners/family pensioners wil1 be done through SPARSH application only. The corrigendum PPO in the case of remaining pensioners retired/discharged on or after 01.07.2014 and before 01.07.2019 will be issued by Pension Sanctioning Authorities in affected cases, so-moto (where rates of pension under these orders are beneficial than the rates of their pension as on 01.07.2019).
