Handling the Pay and Allowances in respect of all the Commissioned Officers of India Army

PCDA Pune handling the Pay and Allowances

The Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Officers) in Pune has announced a change in the way letters are addressed to their office. With a daily influx of 5000 Dak (letters), it has become a challenge for the office to segregate and process the mail, leading to delays in adjusting claims and letters from Army Officers. The office has requested Army Officers to write one of four wings on the envelope and use separate envelopes for each wing to reduce segregation time and facilitate faster processing of claims and letters. The office has also approached postal authorities to implement the new format.

It is further requested to use separate envelopes for separate wings. All different envelop can be put into one large envelop, if more than one envelop is to be sent. It will reduce segregation time for such a huge inflow of Dak and help in faster processing claims and letters at the office of PCDA(O).
