SPARSH SOME RECENT ASPECTS

SPARSH is the acronym used for “System for Pension Administration Raksha” and is an integrated system for automation of sanction and disbursement of Defence Pension. It implies that  your pension account still remains in the same bank & branch but the processing activity of pension credit, which was being done by the bank’s CPPC gets shifted from the Bank to SPARSH under the aegis of PCDA(P) Priyagraj. In effect it means that all activities related to your pension will now be with PCDA(P)  after your migration to SPARSH and Banks will have nothing to do
