MIGRATION to SPARSH

MIGRATION to SPARSH by Cdr Ravindra  W Pathak Retd

Dear All 

        I have received the following PDF on SPARSH FAQ from Naval Foundation Mumbai, which has received it from DESA. On checking, I did not find this on the DESA website . However the most important para of the FAQ is reproduced 

Question 3. Will the Pensioner be given the option of not migrating to SPARSH and retain current payment through bank CPPCs since it is his money at stake? 

Answer 3. As per the directives of Ho’nble RM and Defence Secretary during review of SPARSH on 04 Mar 22 and 11 Mar 22, CGDA must mandatorily obtain non-consent of a Pensioner, in writing from those Pensioners desiring to retain the legacy system. If the Pensioner is unwilling to migrate, the Pension should be processed through legacy system only. However, it is recommended for all Pensioners to migrate onto SPARSH. Being a digital platform it will give the Pensioner greater transparency of his Pension account and speedier processing of his/ her requests, making a truly paperless and trouble free process. Outliers retaining the legacy system through Banks may find the service support sub-optimal since most focus will be on the new system.

It is clear from the answer t Q3 above that at least after 11 Mar 2022 no migration can take place without the willingness of the pensioner.

Those who have been migrated after 11 Mar 2022 may attend the PCDA Pension Adalat and take up their case for reversion if they wish

People often ask me what can we do for the soldiers? The answer is "be a Indian who is worth fighting for."
See if you can be one.

I have enemies? Good. That means I’ve stood up for something, sometime in my life.
