IDENTIFICATION OF EACH DIGIT OF THE 16 DIGITS IN NEW PPO./e-PPO*

*IDENTIFICATION OF EACH DIGIT OF THE 16 DIGITS IN NEW  PPO./e-PPO*

After 7th CPC,  PCDA has started issuing PPO  no  with 16 digits- with and without Notional fixation.

First 12 digits will be the  PPO number and the other 4 digits as Suffix  indicating the Type of pension.

Previously, we had Prefix  to the PPO number Like  S/C/ 123/1998 and

D/BC/ 123/1998.

The S/C   and  D/BC  was the indication of Type of pension.

Now the Prefix is completely removed and Suffix is  brought IN.

Here, Each digit has its own indication.

For example: 

 

Latest PPO No;         1 85 2016 00204-  0100

First Digit – indicate the Service  i.e  - Army,  Navy  and Air force.

No. 1  is for Army           No. 2 for Navy and No.3  for Air force

No. 4 for civilians and No. 5 for NPS in r/o Civilians.

Now we go and identify  the  given PPO number-185201600204- 0100

First digit : 1………Indicates, the pensioner is from ARMY   

Digits Second and Third.85  indicate  the record office of the pensioner –AMC

Digits  : 4 to 7(four)……..Indicate the year of sanction of pension…..2016

Digits  : (8 to 12)  (five)… indicate the running serial number of PPO.00204.

SUFFIX NO. ( FOUR )   Type of pension.

Digit  13 to 14…..Type of pension of the pensioner.  Here No.01 is Service pension, then if there is any Corr PPO, the number will be after this (  15 to 16).

In the given PPO, there is no Corr PPO issued, it is the first PPO hence it is  0100.

Suppose, there was, say 3 Corr PPO issued later,

Then  it will be indicated as 0102/ 0103/ 0104   and so on up to 0149.   

Corr. PPO for JOINT NOTIFICATION WILL BE -  0150.

Note:

If there is any major changes like 7th CPC  or  OROP II, then the Suffix will change.

For Example if the Notional Pay/ Pension is  implemented as per 7th CPC,

Then the  SUFFIX No  WILL  be as  0199, then further  Major revision

like OROP II, it will change as 0198,  in dissenting  order 0197, 0196  and so on.

In the normal cases, the corr PPO will bear the Suffix numbers like, 0101,  0102,  0103 etc  Service pension revised corr. PPO...

But these numbers will  vary according the types of pension, Like

Disability, War injury   pension,  Ordinary Family pension,  Special Family pension, Liberalised Family pension, Dependent pension, Reservist Pension and Ex-Gratia payment etc.

For example:

Service pension with Disability – discharge  case:  0200

Service pension with war injury  - discharge case: 0400

Disability invalided pension:2100

War injury invalided  pension: 2300

Ordinary Family pension:    3000

Special Family pension    :   3300

Liberalised Family pension : 

3700  and so on

There is a Table  indicating the Suffix numbers for Different type of pensions,
