OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Procedure regarding switchover of Payment channel from PAO Counter/ Treasury to Bank.
While making the payment of revised pension in accordance with the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, some banks have highlighted that some pensioners are being paid by them without any proper authorization of CPAO and consequently they have stopped their payment. This is total deviation of the procedure outlined in Para 7.7.2/Para 9 of Civil Accounts Manual and Scheme for payment of pensions to Central Govt. Civil Pensioners by authorized banks. Taking into consideration the seriousness of the situation these cases were examined in depth and it has been observed that these cases are only sample cases and possibilities of repetition of such type of action cannot be denied.
