SPARSH - LATEST PROBLEMS RAISED FOR OUR VETERANS

SPARSH - LATEST PROBLEMS RAISED FOR OUR VETERANS 

Dear Veteran brothers,

Nowadays, when a Veteran expired, and  whose pension account is migrated to SPARSH, we have to report the  Death event to Sparsh online.  Then Initiate family pension.

 Here for confirmation of death, we have to upload the Death certificate   and Bank details  to Sparsh and we get the  Token Number for  following up.  This is the procedure.

Now, we came across two cases, where  the Veterans name is different in Death certificate and PPO. 

For Example:  

Name in PPO: PICHANDIMUTHAIAH  and 

Death Certificate only MUTHAIAH.

When we  up loaded the death certificate, it is  rejected.   Hence, we could not go for Initiate  Family pension option.   Thus, the switching over to family pension is held up.

 The village Admin officer says, the name in death certificate can not be changed.   He can give a DUAL NAME  certificate only in this case.  Like  the names  

MUTHAIAH  AND  PICHANDI MUTHIAH pertains to one and the same person- 

 Waiting for the Dual Name certificate,  no idea whether the dual name certificate will be accepted or not.  THIS IS THE POSITION.

Dear Veteran brothers,  and our ESM associations,  

may please note this happening . You are all requested to guide the NOK or the relatives of the deceased veterans  when you attend the funeral function, ,  to obtain DEATH CERTIFICATE   WITH THE NAME  AS IN TH PPO ONLY. Also the name of spouse  as in the PPO   to avoid  such hardship at later stage  so as to have  a smooth switch to family pension.
