New software for defence pensioners

To allow easy access to pension details and assist in grievance redressal

PTI | July 21, 2011



In a move that will benefit 18 lakh ex-servicemen, the Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) has launched new software that will allow easy access to pension details and assist in grievance redressal.

"The software will facilitate issuance of corrigendum pension payment orders. This will address their demand for corrigendum pension payment order following the recommendations of Sixth Pay Commission," Defence Ministry officials said here.

The project is one step forward from 'Suvigya' launched by CGDA in October last year, they said.

"The pension payment orders which would be issued by this software will be a special corrigendum pension payment system which will contain basic details of original pension as well," they said.

The software will also help in grievance redressal of pensioners with regard to correctness of their pension money.

Being developed by an in-house team of the department, the software would be helpful in giving ready access to all data relating to the pensioners.
