Sub:- Implementation of web based comprehensive pension package system i.e. SPARSH (System for Pension Administration (Raksha) for Defence Civilian and their families-reg.

************

Several issues have been noticed while monitoring implementation of SPARSH. These are listed below for your information and necessary corrective action) HOO/PAO users are not completing audit of pension data well in advance causing delay in processing of cases and sanction/payment of pension.

ii) After generation of PPO in death cases, the HOO users are not following up with beneficiaries for completing identification. This leads in delaying release of payment to families.

iii) There appears to be no agreement between HOOs & PAOs regarding submission of documents for Audit of pension data by PAOs creating undue delay in processing of claims.

2. All HOOs/PAOs are therefore advised to follow the procedure to handle above issues, as follows:-

i) All HOOs/PAOs will ensure that retirement order/Pt. II OO for death etc. and service/Medical (where applicable)/Pay details are entered in SPARSH at least 45 days in advance prior to the date of retirement, to get adequate lead time to handle issues raised( if any) in audit or during PDV. However, in all cases it must be ensured that pension is sanctioned before retirement. Similarly, HOO & PAO will ensure that PPO for death-in-service cases is sanctioned within a month after the death of the employee. To deal with point no. iii of Para 1 above, it is advised that HOO will provide all necessary documents to PAO as per their requirement on urgent basis and in case of any doubt HOO & PAO will liaise offline to short out the issue immediately to avoid undue delay processing the claims. Fortnightly discussion should be conducted between HOO and concern PAO to deal all issues of doubt regarding SPARSH. Details of issues discussed and their outcome be reported to this office as well as HQrs. Office through concern Controllers on following email id. [email protected] and [email protected] .

ii) To avoid delay in first payment in respect of family pensioner necessary guidelines for identification is given in Annexure-‘X’.

3. In view of above all HOD/PCDA/CDA are requested to issue instructions for HOOs/PAOs under their administrative control for strict and time bound compliance of above procedures/instructions.
