How Central Pensions Are Revised Under a Pay Commission
Pension revision involves coordinated actions between the Department of Pension (DoPPW), Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO), Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (PCDA), and Authorized Pension Disbursing Banks (CPPC).
1
Cabinet Resolution & DoPPW Master OM
Following government acceptance of the pay commission report, DoPPW publishes the master Office Memorandum stipulating fitment multipliers and concordance tables.
2
Special Seal Authority (SSA) & e-PPO Revision
CPAO and PCDA generate digital revised Pension Payment Orders (e-PPOs) transmitting revised basic pension and family pension entries to nodal bank branches.
3
Disbursement by Central Pension Processing Cells (CPPC)
Pension-paying bank branches automatically credit revised monthly pensions and compute retrospective arrears dating back to the commission's effective date.
