Previous Agenda: (32.3)
Issues relating to CGHS Wellness Centre Jammu, J&K
(32.4) -Non-acceptance of Nominations of
pensioners for Life-Time Arrears by the Banks
The Railways Senior Citizens Welfare Society,
Mohali mentioned that as per Payment of Arrears of Pension (Nomination) Rules,
1983, every pensioner has to nominate any person for receiving arrears of
pension accruing after his death (on account of Pay Commissions, etc.) and to
provide such nomination to their Pension Disbursing Authority (PDA). However,
in many cases, when pensioners file their nominations with the PDA, there is a
reluctance on the part of the bank staff to accept these nominations, as the
staff is not quite conversant with the rules. Further, the pensioners are not
sure about the safe storage of nominations in the Bank and about retrieval of
these nominations when needed.
